Sunny is nestled in his arm, and responds, “Do you want to tell me that you have cheated on me? Is other woman pregnant with your child?”
Kevin knocks her head without a second thought after listening to her words, “What’s on your mind all the time?”
Sunny raises her head from his arm and answers him with a grimace.
“Alright, I’ll get straight to the point. This incident has already had a design on my brother. He is definitely not going to let them go. So, just leave this matter to us. All you need to do is to protect yourself. Are you with me?”
Sunny nods her head, “I understand, but…” Knowing about it is much different than being able to do it.
“I know what you are thinking about, and I can tell you clearly that you should not take yourself too seriously. This incident is not related to your return – it is just a coincidence. There are some people who will always try to muddy the water, and so your presence will only give others a misconception.”
“I don’t understand.”
“I wish you could just think of me. You don’t need to know anything else.”
“I’ll be a fool then. Do you like a fool?”
Kevin kisses her hair, “I don’t like the other fools, but I wish the one that in front of me could be a little more silly.”
“Hey, that’s too much!”
Kevin smirked, “Didn’t you ask me? I’m just telling the truth.”
Nevertheless, there is no need to be such honest!
Sunny raises her foot and steps on his foot hard.
“Darling, it hurts.”
Kevin is sounded whiny, and she just realizes that they’ve got a marriage certificate today.
“Does it hurt?”
She rubs his face with sympathy which is unlike her usual behavior. He thinks that his whining like a spoiled child works, and so he nods his head vigorously.
“Just rub it yourself then.”
She runs away from his arm after saying that. She is then standing at a safe place while laughing at his dumbfounded face.
“You naughty little evil! Just wait and see.”
Kevin’s first thought is that he won’t go easy on her tonight after he realizes what she did just now, “Just you wait!”
He reaffirms his initiative again when he watches her escaping.
“Only the fool will wait for you.”
Kevin is then following her, “Oh, walk slowly and be careful of my son!”
She stumbles when she hears it.
Ellison couple has also heard it, and look back at them with a surprised face, “Sunny, you are so good at it!”
Although Sunny can’t see Kelly’s facial expression, she is sure that it must be a teasing expression.
“Kevin, get out quickly to explain it!”
Kevin doesn’t feel anything when Sunny calls out his name. He is laughing in the back while ‘getting out’, “Darling is calling me. I’m coming.”
There is a timid voice at the door asking, “Daddy, who is your wife?”
It is Kevin who is surprised this time because he didn’t expect of his daring daughter to come back at this time.
So, he quickly changes his expression to a loving and generous one, and looks at the door, “Oh, my little fairy is coming back. Where did Troy take you to play today?”
Everyone gives him a disdainful look when hearing what he says.
However, Kevin turns a blind eye. He comes up to Macie and carries her, “Let me check if my daughter has gained any weight today. It seems like you are quite light.”
Out of his expectation, he realizes that the one who stands behind Macie is not Troy, but Baron.
“Why is it you? Where is Troy?”
Baron pouts toward the opposite door, “He can’t wake up.”
Originally it is a usual statement, but it is at this moment everyone’s face has changed.
“What do you mean by he can’t wake up?”
“That means he falls asleep, or what else do you think it means?”
……
Kevin is so angry that he slaps Baron on his back, “Don’t say half of the sentence, please. It’s easy to scare a person to death.”
Baron is still confused, “Did anything happen?”
Ellison suddenly remembers Baron’s identity at the moment, “Can you still contact your ex-subordinate now?”
Baron looks at him and nods obediently.
“Well, my driver was killed on the way back today. I'm investigating now. Can you help me to ask if you can get in touch with them?”
“What do you want to ask?
“Is any of my people not being honest?”
Baron nods his head and takes out his phone, “Do you want me to ask here on the spot or tell you after I go back to ask them?”
Ellison thinks for a while, “Just ask on the spot because I want to know it too.”
Baron nods and calls his trusted subordinate.
Baron doesn’t ask to the point after he gets through to him. Thus, Ellison grabs his phone, “Let me ask him.”
Baron looked at him without saying anything.
“Ricky Greer, right? Ellison Quinn speaking.”
Ricky Greer on the other end of the phone who talks endlessly at first is astonished after hearing the name, as though he suddenly chokes on water.
“Ellison, Ellison, you are Ellison Quinn?”
Ellison admits it by saying ‘yes’.
