A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 175

Kevin Quinn continues answering drily.

“Anything else?”

“I hear that you have been busy to take care of a woman recently and rarely come to the office, this matter…”

Before the speaker could finish his words, he is silenced by a look from Kevin who slowly walks towards him.

“I can put up with all the words but if anyone of you dares to talk something bad about her behind, watch out for yourselves…”

His eyes sweep over everyone in the room one by one, making others look away uncomfortably.

“Hey, well, let’s get it on.”

The rest swallow their grievances even if they have big grievance at this point after being threatened by Kevin.

“Very well, knowing what to say and what not to say is the only way you can continue to stay here, do you all understand?”

Looking at the group of people in front of him who are in their late fifties, having white hairs, Kevin remembers some bad memories.

It was the same situation back then when his father dragged himself and his brother on the rooftop…

“Alright, disappear while you can, I’ll look into the company’s affairs, you guys just leave me alone.”

Kevin’s mood changes suddenly, he then kicks over a small chair and shouts, “Get out of me!”

The others walk out slowly, dare not to choke with him, only the Master Quinn knows what’s wrong with him as he shows an annoying face.

He then walks next to Kevin with his crutch and pats on Kevin’s shoulder, “Have a chat with me?”

Kevin will not lose his temper in front of the Master Quinn even if he does not bear with it, so he holds his breath and finds himself a seat.

“Does it remind you of that incident few years ago when you see this scene today?”

The Master Quinn speaks directly to the point and these words hurt the deepest part of Kevin’s heart.

“Grandpa, I…”

Patting his shoulder, the Master Quinn says, “I know well about all this group of egoistic people…it is hard to change their nature no matter how much time has passed.”

Kevin’s voice becomes muffled, “If they hadn’t shut their eyes to people who were dying back then…”

“There is no such thing as not to rescue those in mortal danger, there is just about life.” The Master Quinn interrupts him quickly while his eyes staring ahead without moving.

If someone looks closely and carefully, they could see some sadness in his cloudy eyes.

“It is the mutual affection to help but not their parts that they should do.”

“That’s what I have taught you since you were a child, so you should know that some people whom they are cold by nature that you can’t press your expectation on them.”

Kevin then lights up a cigarette and holding it in his hand without smoking it. Looking at the smoke that curls up, his mood turns better.

“I know, I just angry…” Kevin then sighs secretly, “Grandpa, I understand, as long as they don’t make things difficult for me, I won’t intentionally look for trouble. I have more important things to do.”

The Master Quinn nods his head, “Right, there is something else I need to tell you.”

“Hmm?”

…

When Sunny sees Kevin, he is frowning and has a smell of smoke.

“Oh my god, what have you been doing? Why do you have a smell of smoke?”

Back to his conscious, Kevin only smells himself and it is really a bit pungent.

“Wait for me a while, I’m going to take a shower first.”

Having a thought that Sunny is still pregnant, Kevin then goes to the spare room in his office and takes a quick shower. He even sprays some perfume on his body for fear that the smell of smoke will be too stimulating for Sunny.

Who knows, it makes Sunny sneezing when she sees him.

“Forget about it, it’s fine.” Sunny waves her hand, “Why do you look to be preoccupied?”

Hogan who is on one side looking on and nodding his head approvingly.

“I’m fine, I…” Kevin hesitates, “I have something to tell you.”

Upon seeing the situation, Sunny lets Hogan leave first, “Say it.”

Kevin then takes several deep breaths, “What I am going to say next might be a bit stimulating, you have to be mentally prepared, especially be careful with the child.”

“What’s wrong?” Sunny begins feeling a little nervous when she sees Kevin instructing her so much.

“Do you still remember the one you tell me about called Hana Butler?”

Sunny nods, “I remember, what’s wrong?”

“Grandpa says that she is my fiancée…”

Sunny subconsciously thinks that she is not awake upon hearing from Kevin, or else Kevin is joking with herself.

“Today, is it April Fool’s Day?”

Kevin becomes a little annoyed, “I don’t know what’s wrong with them, grandpa suddenly calls me up and tells me something, this Hana was set for me when my father was still alive…”

Sunny doesn’t want to listen suddenly, “Alright, don’t talk about it, I still have things to do, I have to go.”

Sunny subconsciously wants to leave after finishing her words but is halfway there stopped by Kevin who pulls her arm, “Sunny, hear me out!”

Sunny turns around expressionlessly, mainly because of the reason that she doesn’t know what kind of expression she should put on now.

“What else do you want to say?”

“I, me and you, both of us are legally married, don’t you worry…”

Kevin doesn’t know what he is babbling about, he just subconsciously wants to keep Sunny, because he knows that if Sunny leaves at this point, then he would never get her back.

“Kevin, why do you have so many fiancées?”

Sunny yells out at Kevin as she is unable to hold back any longer.

Freezing by her yelling, Kevin apologizes, “So…sorry?”

Although she doesn’t know what is so funny, Sunny really can’t hold back and snort out a laugh.

Kevin has no clue of what Sunny is laughing at, and so he could only open his eyes wide and laugh dryly with her.

“You go and handle this matter yourself. I trust you, the marriage between us is legal anyway, she can rise to the top and squeeze me out if she can.”

Kevin replies bitterly, “My dear wife, don’t be like that, in case if I don’t resist her temptation…”

Sunny raises her eyebrow seriously, “What are you talking about?”

Kevin replies busily, “I will definitely overcome the test of the party organization.”

“Come on.” Sunny snorts. “Let’s handle your company’s affairs. I just heard from Hogan talking about it in general, it sounds quite serious?”

Kevin nods at her words and calls Hogan from outside in, “I have something to tell you.”

“I will go and wait for you outside.” Sunny says but is pulled back by Kevin, “Don’t go, just stay here and listen, sooner or later you will be able to use these things.”

At that time, Sunny still doesn’t understand about it, so she stays behind confusedly, “Go and find some people to find out who is spreading rumours.”

Hogan nods, “Should I understand the opponents?”

Kevin vetoes, “No, if it was them, they would have done with it already, there is no use for them to play such underhanded tactics. You go and keep an eye on Gerry and the others.”

Hogan freezes for a moment when he hears the name, “Boss…”

“Do what I have said, they just want to mess us up, let’s teach them a lesson.”

Sunny has never seen such Kevin before and for a moment she is immersed in his handsomeness which makes her unable to extricate herself.

“My dear wife, if you keep looking at me, I can’t guarantee I will do something to you.”

Recovering from her surprise, Sunny says, “Hey, you such a bastard…”

Kevin smiles lightly and straightens up, “Well, things are almost settled, let’s go back first. Hogan will be able to handle the rest.”

Sunny wants to say something more but is pulled away by Kevin.

Only when she sits down in the car in a daze, she remembers what she is going to say, “Do I look like Daji whom the Great King loves and ends up destroying his kingdom. Will you, Great King?”

Kevin smiles confidently, “What’s wrong with me losing the kingdom? As long as I have you by my side.”

Sunny’ s heart shocks when she hears those words, her eyes corners are a little out of control that she is going to shed tears, so she immediately turns around to look out the window.

“What’s for dinner?”

Sunny thinks for a moment, “There are not something that I really want to eat, yesterday was too salty, it is better we take something light.”

Pausing a while before he nods his head, “Alright, let’s buy some eggs, there is out of stock at home.”

Sunny nods, “What if I encounter your fiancée at the supermarket again?”

…

Kevin slams on the brake and then twists her body around, seriously looking at her and saying, “My only wife, fiancée, is only you, no one else, got it?”

“Oh.”

When Kevin sees Sunny answering indifferently, he goes closer to her and changes his strategy, “Wife, oops, my dear wife~”

Sunny goes speechless.

She is so shocked that she almost jumps away in the air, “Kevin, can you speak properly?”

Kevin feels aggrieved, “Who tells you to be so cold when I say what I really mean.”

Sunny helplessly pets his forehead, “Alright, I won’t be angry with you, I will believe in whatever you say, you are my heart.”

Kevin says, “Hmm?”

Sunny only has to kiss him, “Is your grandfather just going to leave?”

Kevin replies,” I don’t ask him what he is going to do. The old master says he has something important to do and leaves first after finishing his words.”

Sunny hesitates for a while before she answers, “Alright then, let’s go back too, I am so tired today.”

Kevin gives her a look, “What do you want to eat today?”

Sunny replied breathlessly, “Eat whatever you want.”

They don’t get to eat casually at the end as they encounter the Master Quinn waiting at the door when the two come out of the lift entrance.

“Grandpa, what are you doing here? You don’t even tell me you are here.”

Kevin greets him hurriedly, “Have you been here for a long time?”

The Master Quinn shakes his head, “I haven’t waited long but it’s Parker who has been carrying those things in his hand for a long time.”

Parker is an old man who has been serving the Master Quinn since Kevin’s father passed away, yet, Kevin shows full respect to him.

“Parker, leave these to me.”
