A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 104

“What? Banded together as Traitors?”

Kevin does not look good, it is never nice to hear a loved one say that he is banded with somebody as a traitor.

“But, there has to be a misunderstanding. Why don’t we go home first, I know you miss Macie.”

Kevin looks at her and her shabby way of changing the subject and actually wants to get more into it, or he even wants to throw her on the bed and teach her a lesson.

But he doesn’t know for what reason, seeing her ill at ease makes him like her even more, enough to never want to move his gaze off her again.

Of course Sunny sees him stare at her permanent, which makes her feel more uncomfortable.

“Stop looking at me, I am not that pretty, go and look at something else, or wait, go and get the car, we are going home.”

As Kevin hears the words “going home”, he feels a sudden joy and warmth in his heart, “Yes, let’s go home, together.”

“Kevin, what is going on in your head?”

“Nothing, Macie used to say that I don’t car enough about you, which I admit, but from now on I will!”

“Let it be.” Every time Kevin starts to treat her better, something bad happens.

“Let’s go back first, tell me what you want to eat for dinner, I will get it.”

“No worries, I already know how to cook, and Macie is still young, she shouldn’t eat too much takeout.”

Kevin hasn’t expected that within just a few years, Sunny learned how to cook, this is something that really surprises him.

“Oh really? Then, let’s go to the store and get some groceries, we will cook together.”

Sunny nods her head, “Drive.”

“Alright, let’s go, hang on tight!”

When they get home, Macie is already back from school.

“Kevin, Mommy, you are back!” Macie is very polite, so polite that one might think she has done something.

But Kevin doesn’t know, he only thinks that Macie is happy since she hasn’t seen him in a while.

So he kneels down to be on the same eye level as her, and says, “Tell me, what have you learned in school today?”

......

Macie feels that her and her father used to be enemies in her previous life, who comes home and the first question is about school? So Macie only looks around her room, and says, “Hmm, well, today... the teacher talked about... I forgot.”

Kevin doesn’t know Macie well enough, but Sunny does.

She only needs to throw one look at Macie, and immediately understand what she is up to, so she asks, “Did you even go to school today?”

Kevin looks at Sunny surprised, would she do that?

“You should believe that...”

Kevin doesn’t even get the chance to finish his sentence, and Macie already surrenders.

“I went to the park with my godfather.”

“Very well.”

Kevin thinks to himself that if her godfather finds out, he might as well beat her up.

But Sunny doesn’t ask more about that, she only says, “You know the consequences of not going to school. Help yourself.”

Macie gives Kevin a look of begging him for help, it is his fault that she was exposed, who even asks about school the minute of coming home.

“I think she’s still young, there is no need to be so strict...”

Kevin seems to know that it is because of his asking, and he doesn’t want Macie to be punished for that, so he asks Sunny to give her another chance.

“Shut up, Macie, get over there, stop asking for help, it has never worked before.”

...

Macie feels that she is not her mother’s daughter, why would she treat her like that!

She goes to her corner and sits down sadly, and just as Kevin wants to go over and talk to her, Sunny gets him back by asking him, “You know how to clean veggies?”

“Hm?”

“I asked if you know how to clean veggies?”

“Oh, uhm...” Kevin pretends to be very relaxed, but his following words are unexpected, “No idea.”

...

“Then you can leave as well, go and get the other ones for dinner.”

Kevin is a little bitter about that, “Can’t we just be the three of us for dinner? I just wanna spend some time with you.”

Sunny gives a cold laugh, “You don’t even know how to help me, and you wanna spend time with me? Go and get the others.”

Kevin doesn’t understand what made Sunny’s attitude change so suddenly, it makes him even afraid to ask anything further.

Even when he already arrives at Troy’s door, he still hasn’t figured out what happened.

Kevin can only listen to her demands, and starts to knock on the door. “Hello, is anyone home? I’m here to tell you dinner is ready, are you home?”

Kevin keeps knocking on the door while calling for someone to come, it feels like he has been knocking for almost half an hour when he finally hears something inside, “Oh god, why are you being so loud, I can hear you! I’ll be there in just a minute!”

It’s Baron.

Kevin suddenly feels angry, he really doesn’t like this guy.

He doesn’t know why, but for some reason everyone there seems to be mocking him now.

Maybe it’s because of what happened before, he can see that everyone is feeling guilt inside, and this kind of guilt gives him no reason to be angry anymore, it gives him no voice to speak.

After telling them about dinner, Kevin goes back to the kitchen, and stays with Sunny.

“Back already? That was fast.”
