After they finish discussing things, Sunny and Kelly are holding hands, looking at each other and crying.
“Kelly, congratulations on fulfilling your long cherished wishes, you finally got married to a handsome man and gave birth to a child.”
Kelly spits at her, “You bitch! Every year I was crying at your grave because I had heard nothing from you for so many years. You owe me my youth back!”
“What do you mean my grave? Who set up a gravestone for me?”
Kelly pouts in the direction of him, “Who else could have done it?”
Sunny looks over at Kevin, “I’ve really made things difficult for him for so many years.”
“Oh, you want to know what else you’ve done. You also have a child now and I heard she is a very pretty young girl, you must let me see her.”
Seeing her so excited, Sunny has no choice but to let go of her hands, “Since we were having an adult discussion, I made her go back to her bedroom.”
“Then call her out here, I want to hug and kiss her, I am her godmother after all.”
“You are Ellison’s wife, so what does that make you, her aunt?”
While Sunny says this she looks over at Macie’s door and then shouts, “Macie, come on out and meet your aunt.”
“Don’t call me that, it really does not sound nice.”
Macie obediently walks out after hearing her name be called and when she sees Kelly her eyes suddenly widen, “My beautiful aunt!”
Kelly asks curiously, “Your reaction makes me wonder have you met me before?”
Macie nods her head, “There are many portraits inside my mother’s room and among them is one of you. But you look so much more beautiful in person…”
Kelly is unable to conceal her happiness by what Macie just said, “Silly girl, why are you talking like that? From now on don’t call me your aunt, refer to me as your godmother, ok?”
“But…” Macie is a little hesitant and looks in the direction of Troy, “I already have a godfather. So what am I supposed to call your husband then?”
These words stump Kelly, she looks at Ellison many times until she finally she grits her teeth and says, “Call him uncle.”
Sunny next to her spurts out rather frankly, “But won’t you then be beaten by your husband for this?”
Kelly looks at Macie helplessly, “For this little sweetheart, it will be worth it.”
“Come and have a look, this is your ugly younger brother.”
Sunny cannot help but laugh and cry at the same time after hearing this.
However Macie is an honest person and after looking at her younger brother again she says frankly, “You are actually very cute.”
“Sunny, your child is always telling lies.”
“Kelly enough, stop before you go too far.”
Sunny is a little wordless seeing Kelly with such a bright smile who is actually trying to hide her joy after hearing what Macie said about her son.
In the end, after Ellison’s repeated persuasion, a rather reluctant to leave Kelly pulls at her child to go.
“I don’t want to leave!”
“We can come back again tomorrow, alright?” Kevin is surprised to see that Ellison who once had a bad temper is now patiently persuading Kelly. He feels that perhaps he is going blind.
“Ok…” Kelly pouts her lips and then after giving a hug to Sunny and giving a kiss to Macie, she finally leaves after turning around each step she takes.
After they had left, Baron takes Troy’s collar and also prepares to leave.
Sunny is a little surprised to see them both, “You’re leaving so early?”
Baron nods his head, “I have some things that I need to sort out with him.”
Sunny understands and then sees Troy trying to get away however as always fails and in the end lets out a chuckle.
“Sunny, you can’t just watch someone in trouble and not try to help them!”
Troy is still trying to get free, while written clearly on his face is the look of panic and fear.
Before Sunny can make any response, Kevin takes the lead and pushes them out the door, “It’s late, goodnight.”
“What, Kevin, I thought we were close friends!”
How can anyone so eagerly push their close friend into a pit of fire?
“Regarding this matter, I’m not.”
He then closes the door.
Suddenly it is quiet.
Sunny then calls Macie to come and sit down on the sofa, “Macie, mummy has something she would like to say to you.”
Kevin also walks over with her.
Macie looks at both him and then her, and is a little frightened by their serious expressions. Her mum and dad, are they still not able to be together?
“So Macie, it’s like this. This man called Kevin is not actually your uncle, he is your father.”
After hearing this Macie’s eyes suddenly widen as if she understands what her mother means!
“Well it wasn’t easy for us to acknowledge our old relationship again but are you happy?”
