A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 215

It is a box of strawberry pudding.

Macie stops crying, looks up at Kelly above her, and then looks at the box of strawberry pudding she is holding.

“Auntie...Kelly.” Macie looks at Kelly, curling her lips and almost crying, “Does my mom not want me and my dad?”

Although she doesn’t know where her mother has gone, Macie guesses by intuition and thinks for a while about what she heard last night and this morning, she knows what is going on.

Kelly’s expression suddenly changes and her gaze which is like a knife falls on Lora and the servants who are aside.

After seeing Kelly’s gaze, many servants shrink and bow their heads not to look at Kelly.

Seeing their reaction, Kelly sneers.

Seeing this, Lora hurriedly leads the servants to leave and doesn’t dare to let them continue to wander in front of Kelly.

Lora knows that Macie has always been the treasure of the whole Quinn family.

It’s just that she doesn’t know who passed the news this time and Miss Macie actually heard it.

Seeing Lora leading them away, Kelly withdraws her gaze. She skillfully opens the lid of the pudding, then scoops a spoonful of pudding and hands it to Macie’s mouth.

Macie, who still refused the strawberry pudding before, glances at the pink pudding on the spoon and bites into it.

The pink pudding is sweet and soft in one bite. When the pudding slips through the mouth, it is thick with strawberry flavor, smooth and tender, and the taste is sweet but not greasy.

Macie smiles with satisfaction and her eyes narrow into a slit as if all the bad mood just now disappears because of this pudding.

Seeing Macie finally smile, Kelly is relieved.

She scoops the pudding spoon by spoon and hands it to Macie’s mouth, and soon a box of the pudding is almost gone.

“Macie, can Auntie Kelly take you to have a shower?” After throwing the plastic box into the trash can, Kelly holds Macie up and says softly.

This little girl is so heavy!

Kelly has not held Macie for long and she is shocked by her weight when she takes her up again.

Macie pouts, “Auntie Kelly, I have already taken a shower!” After speaking, she pulls on the little floral nightdress on her body, seeming to feel dissatisfied that Kelly doesn’t notice that she has taken a shower.

Kelly is greatly embarrassed.

She awkwardly puts Macie down, and then touches her head pityingly, “Then Auntie Kelly take you to sleep, okay?”

She is busy coaxing this girl as soon as she comes in, and doesn’t even notice the little floral nightdress on her.

Macie nods obediently, then naturally takes Kelly’s hand and walks upstairs on her own initiative.

“Auntie Kelly, you haven’t answered my question!”

Macie’s sweet voice sounds again, reminding Kelly that she hasn’t answered her question just now.

Kelly comes to think of the question Macie just asked her, and hurriedly says, “Macie, don’t worry. Your mother just went out to find a good medicine for your dad. It’s not that she doesn’t want you and your dad!”

“Then why does she have to find it alone? And it is so far!”

“Isn’t there a doctor at home? There are still so many doctors in the hospital. Why does my mom have to go out alone?”

Kelly smiles and touches her head, “Good girl, your mom wants your dad to get better soon so she goes out to see if other doctors have any good treatments.”

Macie nods as if she seems to have understood, curls her lips, and says nothing.

Macie’s room is dominated by pink and white. The walls are painted with a pale pink. There are beautiful crystal lamps hanging from the ceiling. The white princess bed is probably what all girls dream of.

Kevin really spoils Macie as a princess.

After taking Macie up within the bed, Kelly sits on a chair beside her, holding a storybook in her hand.

“Auntie Kelly.” Macie looks at her and asks softly, “Are you going to read me stories?”

She blinks with a hint of excitement in her eyes.

Since her dad’s illness, no one has read bedtime stories to her.

Seeing Macie’s excitement, Kelly smiles and nods, “Yes, I will tell you The Runaway Bunny today.”

Macie nods obediently, lies on the bed, and turns to look at Kelly, full of expectation in her beautiful eyes.

Under the gaze of Macie, Kelly reads slowly, “One day, a little bunny said to his mother, ‘I am running away!’

‘If you run away, I will run after you for you are my little bunny!’ said his mother.

‘If you run after me, I will become a fish in a trout stream and I will swim away from you.’

‘If you become a fish in a trout stream, I will become a fisherman and I will fish for you.’ ”

...

It tells the story of the little bunny and his mother. The little bunny wants to become a variety of small animals, and his mother can always become someone who can find her and take care of her.

While Kelly is reading the story, Macie gradually falls asleep.

In the dream, her mom comes back, her dad gets better, she has a little brother and becomes a sister.

There is a slight smile on Macie’s lips. Seeing her fall asleep, Kelly is relieved.

After tidying up the quilt for her, Kelly turns on the bedside lamp. Then she walks to the door to help her turn off the headlight, closes the door, and leaves.

But two crystal teardrops slip quietly from the corner of Macie’s eyes when no one sees it.

After leaving Macie’s room, Kelly goes directly downstairs and calls Lora over.

“Let all the servants in the house come over.” Kelly sits on the sofa and looks at Lora coldly, “I have something to ask them.”

Lora nods, “Okay, Mrs. Ellison.”

She knows Kelly, Mr. Ellison’s wife, who has also been pampered.

So she doesn’t dare to disobey Kelly’s orders.

Lora’s work efficiency is very fast. All the servants at the home rush to the living room within ten minutes and even the driver who usually picks them up is also invited over this time.

All of them stand in the living room properly and look at Kelly who sits on the sofa, speculating in their hearts Kelly’s intention to call them over this time.

Seeing everyone is here, Kelly sits on the sofa and drinks scented tea leisurely, without any intention to speak.

And the servants naturally don’t dare to ask Kelly so all the people are obediently standing in the living room, waiting for Kelly to speak.

Probably it is almost the time. Kelly puts the teacup down, looks at the people, and says coldly, “Who has talked gossips about Mr. Kevin and Mrs. Quinn in front of the young lady?”

Her voice is not loud, but in the quiet living room where you can hear even a needle falling on the ground at this time, it seems particularly powerful.

Hearing Kelly’s words, everyone trembles, and bows their heads not to look at her.

Seeing this, Kelly sneers.

It seems that they all have done it.

“Lora, what is the rule?” Kelly sneers at the people who are turning into ostriches in front of her and directly asks Lora.

Lora, who is named, takes a step forward and says, “Anyone who broadcasts the news about the host in private will be dismissed, and the host will judge whether to pursue the legal responsibility according to the seriousness of the news.

Spreading the news indiscriminately is already an act of starting a rumor and if it is a bad thing that does not exist, then it can be considered slander.

At this moment, these people realize the seriousness of this matter.

Seeing that they are panicking, Kelly stops threatening, “If I find someone gossiping and tell the little lady on purpose, I hope he can resign voluntarily instead of waiting to be held accountable!”

After warning the servants who love to gossip, Kelly waves them to disperse.

“Mrs. Ellison.” Lora steps forward to Kelly’s side and asks respectfully, “Are you staying here tonight?”

Kelly nods, glances at the time on the wristwatch, gets up, and walks upstairs, “Well, I will accompany Macie these days, and I will pick her back to the old house later.”

She is always worried about leaving Macie here alone. After Kevin’s condition stabilizes these days, she will take Macie to the old house.

Kelly goes straight to Kevin’s study after going upstairs.

Just like what Ellison has said in the hospital, Butler must have given Sunny something, and there must be a divorce agreement among those things.

What she has to do now is to find the divorce agreement and the other things left by Butler, and not let Butler’s trickery succeed.

She has roughly looked around the study but finds nothing suspicious. Kevin’s study is full of materials and books.

Kelly stands still where she is and thinks for a while, then turns around and walks out of the kitchen to the room of Kevin and Sunny.

There are two places where Kevin must go after he is well. One is his office study, and the other one is the bedroom where he must sleep.

If it is not in the study room, then it is more likely to be in the bedroom.

As expected, Kelly finds a Kraft paper bag in a drawer. Inside the paper bag is a divorce agreement signed by Sunny, and a note that Sunny “left”.

The above is written like this, “Kevin, I have been thinking a lot these days. I’m going to leave you because I have to make plans for myself in the future. Seeing your body getting weaker and weaker day by day, I really can’t bear to leave you but I have to make plans for myself and the child in my belly. I don’t want my child to be born without a father. Don’t worry, I won’t take away any of the Quinn family’s property. If you really come through, I hope you can treat yourself well, and forget me, just as if I have never been in your world. Don’t disturb.”

Kelly thinks that she is going to be mad!

The divorce agreement clearly stipulates that Sunny can not take away all the property of the Quinn family, which is consistent with the note she has left.

But at the same time, Kelly feels so lucky that they have found these things first. Otherwise, if Kevin sees them later, he and Sunny will definitely be over!
