A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 194

“Well ok, Mrs Sunny, Please stay still. I’ll be back soon.” Then Hogan moves quickly toward the rest room.

Absolutely, Hogan worries about Sunny and keeps Kevin’s instructions in mind all the time, so he hurries back to Sunny after using the toilet.

“You... are so quick. It’s only three minutes... Are you sure you’ve done?” Sunny asks in a little bit surprise.

Hogan replies, “Mrs Sunny, can’t you ask some normal questions...”

Kevin comes to visit Sunny soon as he addresses all troubles in the work. After all, Sunny is pregnant and he didn’t take good care of her during her first pregnancy. Therefore, Kevin is extra careful this time to make sure their baby is healthy even though he himself will be in trouble.

“Honey, there’s a hospital nearby. How about going there to have a checkup?” Kevin suggests.

“I’d better say no. I trust Troy more. Let’s drop by Troy’s place later on our way home to do checkups.” Sunny believes Troy comparing with the hospital after consideration. At least Troy will not hide anything from her as their relations are beyond their lives.

“OK, then I’ll give him a call and we’ll directly go there later before picking up Macie from school.” Kevin exhibits an obvious happiness speaking of his baby daughter.

“She needs stay relax and take a good rest. You should provide her more nutritional supplements and pay attention to her rest.” Troy takes off his usual grins and give the couple some suggestions and cautions in a serious manner.

“Please take care, or it may cause a miscarriage. You should have her take more nourishment to keep nutritious. Her body is suffering from malnutrition now as she was not nutritionally adequate while having Macie.”

Kevin finally understands what’s the main point of Troy’s words. In a word, he must guarantee Sunny to get efficient nutrition starting from today.

“Oh, by the way, How is Macie? I haven’t seen her for days. It’s just right before my off work time, and you can give me a ride to see Macie. She must be missing me.” Troy starts to pack up cluttered files on the desk while talking, so as to go home with them together.

“Hey, missing you? You must be dreaming! She is my daughter and she will not miss anyone else only if she has me. Please don’t be unblushing. You can come yourself, but don’t expect my free ride.” Kevin hits back in a quite serious attitude.

“You... to make a friend with a person like you must be due to the lifetime bad luck during my previous existence.”

“Well, well. It depends on you. Besides, don’t expect to come to my home and scrounge free meals off me.” Kevin leaves the hospital after finishing his words, leaving Troy stand there blankly.

Troy comes back to himself after quite a while. He indeed makes friends carelessly!

“Honey, I really can’t eat any more...” Sunny says to Kevin while looking at the over half pot of soup. Her whole face is almost folding together.

“One more, ok? You can only eat this bowl of soup, and the left for tomorrow.” Kevin cries in his heart,“My dear, don’t treat me like this,” as Sunny is about to play coquetry and act cute to end this situation.

Sunny looks down in the dump and droops her head when her dongs don’t work.

“Honey, you heard what Troy said that you would be at a risk of miscarriage.” Kevin explains to Sunny sincerely and patiently.

Hearing the word of miscarriage, Sunny becomes more wary. She then picks up the bowl and eat the soup at a breath obediently, hoping that her unborn baby would not be killed because of her.

“Sweetie, it’s late now. Let me carry you upstairs to bed!” Kevin dose so while talking to Sunny.

“Miss Butler, a man called himself Jacob is looking for you.” The servant informs Butler in an reverent and respectful attitude. As Butler is very capricious, the servant has to be prudent always without making any mistakes.

“Jacob?” Butler finally opens her eyes and asks with confusion.

“Yes.” Butler stands up slowly from the couch with her feet rarely be seen put together. Jacob? The same name she can recall is few and far between. She wonders if this man is the one he knows.

“Tell him to come in.” Butler has a presentment all of a sudden. Can it truly be the one named Jacob in her memory?

“Hey, girl, it is pretty hard to meet you.”

Hearing such a forceful voice, Butler remains motionless and looks dull for a second.

“Uncle Brenden Webb, is it you?” Butler stands up slowly and looks at this old man with an incredible expression.

Though his hair is mostly gray and a few wrinkles appear on the face, it is still relatively easy to figure out how handsome he was when he was young.

“Sorry? Who are you?” Brenden gives a puzzled stare at this girl standing in front of him. It seems that the girl knows him from her behaviors and words, but why he doesn’t have any clue of who she is.

“Uncle Brenden, I’m Butler, the daughter of Lester Eton. Can’t you remember me?” Following Butler holds Brenden’s hands with a great excitement.

“What? Are you saying you are Lester’s daughter?” Brenden looks at this girl unbelievably while his hands are trembling. No wonder he felt a moment ago that the girl looked like an old friend of him.

“Yes, uncle Brenden, do you remember me now?” Such strong feelings even make Butler shed tears down her cheeks.

“Yes, yes, I do remember. How are you doing these years, Butler?” Brenden is so thrilled. He seizes Butler’s hands and asks the details of what she has been through over these years.

“Back to the old days, your father was my most loyal man. I totally trusted him and told him everything as if we were brothers. But things happened in the company later back then. Your father came to the other party’s place alone and killed their leader, which astonished me a lot. Unfortunately, he was killed violently there even without leaving a whole body. Even though I avenged his death, it is still difficult for me to forgive what I have owned to your father.”

This old man is over fifty now, but he still feels much grieved when talking of the past. Moreover, Butler bears a strong likeness to her father, which gives rise to the sense of guilt spontaneously in his heart.

“My dear, where have you been all these years? I turned city A upside down then, but didn’t find you!”

“After father’s sudden death, my mother was inconsolable, blaming father for his selfish to leave us behind. Afterwards, I went with mother to America where we’ve been living since then. My mother passed away last year after years of wearing tearful face and crying out her heart. I’ve been back here for only a few years,” Butler explains.

“Ok. Thanks God for giving me a chance to meet Lester’s daughter. Maybe this is our destiny!My dear, please let me take care of you onwards! You were just a little girl the last time I saw you, but you’ve grown up into a big girl in the flash.” Brenden appreciates how lucky he is while gazing lovingly at Butler.

“Oh, right, uncle Brenden, why are you here?” Butler asks abruptly after a brief talk about the old days. She senses that Brenden doesn’t specially come here for her judging from his actions, so is it possible that he is here for other purposes? But she can’t think any other connections between them...

Asked by Butler reminds Brenden of his purpose today. He is here for his grandson whom he is extremely concerned for.

“Butler, we are not totally unrelated to each other, so I will skip talking in a roundabout way. Actually, I’m here for Luca.” This old man is straight with Butler without any intention to beat around the truth.

“Luca?” Butler doesn’t want to admit that this name causes her heart to miss a beat uncontrollably as always, especially when she hears it from Brenden.

Butler seems to be clear about something. Their surnames are both Webb... Could it be that...?

It seems that Brenden has discovered Butler’s thoughts since he has been observing her expressions. Then he speaks out some words that immobilize Butler.

“Luca... is my grandson.” Brenden has always intended to meet this girl who has knocked Luca dead since the time Luca swallows his pride and pleads for staying.

It should be known that it is the first time for Luca to bow to someone, which also astounds himself back then.

Luca is the youngest of Webb family. He is smart and clever since childhood, so Brenden spoils him, and so does everyone else in the family. Until today, Luca has never worked or learned in other companies except for their family-owned one because they want to keep him away from hardships.

Brenden doesn’t know that Luca has been out of home for one month until he asks the housekeeper a few days earlier when he notices that he doesn’t see his grandson for a long time.

The old man then orders an investigation, but the result nearly gets his half life tortured. He is really mad at Luca. He couldn’t believe that his always spoiled and pampered baby boy would someday condescend to serve someone else!

Brenden finds Luca immediately. However, things doesn’t turn out the way Brenden wants. Instead, Luca insists to stay and requests Brenden to leave him alone, because the woman he loves is there.

Brenden is clear about what’s going on. Whereas, how could his loved grandson be a man under a woman? What it will be like if the public knows?

So right at that time, Brenden talks tough over his grandson. Luca is required to come back home within three days, if not, Brenden himself will take him home.

Luca knows his grandpa’s temper more or less. No one can stop him if the old man is really pissed off. On the third day as Brenden expected, Luca goes back home in obedience.
