A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 189

She gets up and wants to leave, with the medicinal powders that takes her every effort to get in her arms, Sunny takes a taxi to Troy's place.

Troy has just gotten up and hears the doorbell ringing, as he rubs his eyes, he walks towards the door and opens it, but surprisingly he sees the person who visits his house is Sunny, a pregnant woman who comes with a sense of coldness.

"Sunny, what brings you here?"

Troy thinks he is still in his sleep, so he rubs his eyes hard and only sits down calmly after knowing that the person in front of him is not a hallucination.

"Come here and take a look at this..."

Sunny calls Troy to come close and sits down too, then takes out the thing in her arms, "Have a look, is this useful for detoxifying the poison inside Kevin's body?"

Troy tries to wake himself up, then rubs a bit of that medicinal powder with his hand and puts it close to his nose to smell it.

"It looks like the right medicinal power, where did you get it?"

Faced with this question from Troy, Sunny murmurs, and changes the subject to avoid answering his question, "Go and take a closer look at it, if it's working, then this will be a great thing to me!"

Troy stares at her, and without saying anything else, grabs the box and walks towards his room.

Sunny also follows him in, and Troy asks her to sit down at where she wants, "You just wait for me a while, I'll study it. By the way, there are some problems with your last body examination. I'll talk to you about it later."

Sunny instantly tenses up, "There's something wrong with my examination? What problems?"

Troy makes a gesture "Shh" to tell her keep silent and then goes on to devote himself to studying those medicinal powders.

Sunny, on the other hand, is a little worried, thinking to herself, "There is something wrong with my body? How could that possible? Didn't the doctor say it was fine last time?"

It takes a long time to wait for Troy to finish studying those medicinal powders and confirm that it can be used to treat Kelvin. He then comes near to Sunny and asks,

"Now, just tell me, where did you get all those medicinal powders?"

Because Troy's expression is too serious, Sunny is too nervous to answer his question.

"Do you still remember Butler? There was a guy beside her who kidnapped us last time. He is the guy from who I get those powers."

Sunny schemes secretly in her heart and decides to put all those things on Luca’s responsibility.

After listening to Sunny's nonsense story, Troy looks a bit worried and says, "Then, if that guy is found out by someone, won't he be in big trouble?"

Sunny shakes her head and says, "Do you think this power, which is rare for us, is also rare for Butler?"

Troy keeps silent and doesn’t say anything, in the end he is forced to accept the false story from Sunny, "Okay, I take what you said as true."

Sunny is so relieved to see that Troy buys her story.

"Now, go back to your body examination." Troy puts his hand on Sunny's shoulder, "That examination I did for you last time, on the surface it didn't look like anything was wrong, but in reality, the reason you get tired so easily is because there is a lack of an enzyme in your body."

Sunny responds surprisingly, "I thought it was just because of the lack of sleep."

Troy shakes his head, "That's one of the reason, the other is you have multiple nutritional deficiencies that result in your poor health."

Sunny is relieved to hear this, "Then it's fine, I'll just take more nutrition, and I will be fine, right?"

Troy nods, "But you have to come to my place for checkups on time, just in case."

Sunny waves her hand off, "Okay, Dr. Viktor, you are so nagging."

The look on Troy's face is still very serious, "You know what I'm talking about, right?"

Sunny keeps silent, then says, "I know."

Troy gives a long sigh, "Okay, then we just stop here, do you want to have something to eat?"

No sooner has he finished his words, Kevin's phone call comes, Sunny gives a glance at the phone then picks it up reluctantly, "What's wrong?"

Kevin's voice sounds like he is in a meeting, "Have you eaten yet?"

Sunny nods her head, "I'm at Troy's house, I'm stopping by to check on Macie."

Kevin doesn’t doubt about her words, he just asks her to take good care of herself and have a good rest, "Okay, okay, I know, there is nothing for you to worry about, Troy is here, why are you still so worried about me?"

Kevin thinks she is right, so he doesn’t talk much, and hangs up the phone after leaving his usual kind and warm message to her.

After hanging up the phone, Sunny is a lot more relaxed, "Hoo ..."

Troy just silently watches her lying to her husband from the side, "Aren't you going to tell him?"

Sunny shrugs, "It's not like it's something decent, why should I tell him? You should help me to keep this secret too."

Troy sighs helplessly, "Okay, okay."

Regarding to the source of that medicinal powers, Troy is more or less suspicious about that story Sunny made up,but Sunny refuses to say more, so he couldn't ask more too.

"Okay, okay, I know you're the best, what do you want to eat, I'll cook today."

Troy quickly shakes his head, "Come on, I don’t want to offend your dear Kelvin, if he knows I dare to let you cook, he would have skinned me."

Sunny doesn’t know what is so amusing, but she just can’t help laughing there.

"Alright, let's order takeaway, I'll wake Baron up, Macie is off from school today, you two can catch up later."

Sunny stands still and gazes at Troy for a long time, and finally says, "Thank you."

If it wasn't because of you, Sunny would have been a corpse a long time ago, and would not have had the chance to live until now.

But Troy dislikes these two words, "What did I say to you, just shut up."

Well, Sunny smiles bitterly and shuts up, she knows you only can express your thankfulness to those who want to listen to you.

Troy sings all the way into the room and wakes up Baron who is still sleeping, then Sunny goes into Macie's room and wakes her up too.

Macie rubs her eyes and sees Sunny standing in front of her, she thinks she must in her dream, "Mummy, I dreamed about you."

Sunny is amused by her childish words and leans down to kiss her, "I am your real Mummy, not in your dream, get up, it's cold outside, put on more clothes."

The people from Troy's family may not be susceptible to coldness, Sunny wraps up tightly while staying in their home with the heating on, but still she feels very cold in this house.

"Mummy ..." Macie then wakes up and put her hands on Sunny's neck, as if in pettish to her mom.

Sunny tries to pick Macie up, but she is too weak to hold her up for carrying a child, Macie accidentally falls back to the bed.

"Well..." Macie finally wakes up totally because of the fall, but she thinks Sunny is playing a game with her, so she just laying in the bed laughing loudly.

"Are you okay?" Even though she has fallen on the bed, Sunny still is very worried and asks.

"It's fine, mummy, I can get up by myself."

Macie has grown up into a big girl now and knows when should be shy. She asks Sunny to turn around while she is getting dressed.

Sunny smiles and turns around as she is told, and thoughtfully closes the door of the room for her.

When she is fully dressed, Sunny places her on the sofa and then says in a pretended serious voice, "Macie, mummy is going to tell you, there is a baby inside mummy's tummy."

Surprisingly, Macie quickly accepts the fact and acts excitingly, "A baby, where is it, do I have a brother or a sister?"

Sunny stuns, and then smiles, "It's still small, but you can talk to him, and when the time comes, you'll be able to see him."

For the first time in her life that she is going to be a big sister, Macie looks so cheerful as she takes her little finger and pokes at Sunny's tummy.

Sunny looks at her daughter who is so excited, full of joy in her heart, but thinking of the agreement she has just signed with Butler, her heart mixed with sadness at the same time.

"Okay, okay, my sweetheart, mommy has recently learned some cooking skills from your father, mommy will cook for you today."

Macie claps her hands happily when she hears this, and then waits for Sunny to go to the kitchen to cook chocolate for her.

But at this moment, the doorbell rings. Macie looks around, seeing that her godfather and godmother are in the bedroom, and her mother is busy in the kitchen, so she only jumps out of the sofa and runs with her two short legs to open the door herself .

But what she doesn’t expect to see when she opens the door is her own old father shaking in coldness.

"Daddy, why are you here?"

She screams joyously, this is a child's way to express her fondness to someone, and Kevin doesn’t think much of it, picking her up and kissing her several times.

"What are you doing here?"

Sunny is in the kitchen when she hears the sound from the door, so she comes out with a spatula in her hand to take a look, but she doesn’t expect to see Kevin.

"I finish my work in the company, so I come over to take a look."

Kevin explains calmly, then looks at Sunny and the spatula in her hand, "Are you going to cook?"

Sunny smiles awkwardly, she is just showing off her cooking skills in front of her daughter, but then her cook teachers come over to embarrass her, "I want to give Macie a taste of the chocolate you made."

Kevin grabs the spatula from Sunny’s side after hearing this, "You need to rest, just go there and sit down, I'm here, you don’t need to cook by yourself."

Considering that they are in Troy's house and there are two big hungry wolves sitting in the bedroom, Kelvin rummages through the cupboard and finds some more chocolate, breaks it up and put it in the milk pot to cook.

"Mmm~ it smells good."

Macie snorts her little nose and takes a sniff, then begins to praise Kevin's cooking skills.

"Daddy is very a good cook, Macie really wants to eat only when I smells it."

Kevin is amused by her daughter, then waves his spatula and says, "Go, help your mum walk to the sofa."

Troy also walks out of the room by the smell of the chocolate, and at first he wonders who is cooking, "Sunny, are you cooking?"

When he comes out of the bedroom, he sees Sunny sitting on the sofa, "Not you? Then who's in the kitchen?"

Sunny helplessly spreads her hands and says, "Kelvin."

Troy slides to the kitchen door, looking at the man with an apron wielding a spatula, feeling like he doesn’t even recognize the brother in front of him who has been friends for more than twenty years.

"Kevin, are you okay?"

Kevin responds bitterly, "Shut up, if you want to eat."

Troy shuts up in a spineless manner, he slides to the sofa and sits down like a frightened rabbit, "Sunny, if Kelvin is here, don't we have to order takeaway?"

Sunny's eyes lightens up immediately when hearing the suggestion, "Do you have food in the kitchen?"

...

"It's better to order takeaway, right?"

Sunny knows what he means as soon as she sees his look, "It's okay, you just go to the nearest supermarket to buy some back, he's really a great cook now, he can cook everything."

Troy nods as he is told and goes out even it’s very cold and windy outside.

"Huh, I sees him there earlier, where is he?"

Mr. Quinn just finishes his kitchen show, and wants to walk out to show off to his bro, but his audience is gone already, "Troy goes to the supermarket to buy some food, he said we don’t need to order takeout with you around."

Kevin shrugs, "He does has his own plan, doesn’t he?"

Sunny also smiles slyly, "Hahaha, it’s quite a coincidence, I think the same way."

When Kevin hears that his wife also likes his cooking, he rolls up his sleeves and plans to present a big cook show today.
