A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 114

When Sunny hears that his daughter and Kevin have a secret, her look of blame immediately falls on Kevin, “I am wrongly accused.”

He quickly waves his hands and grinds his teeth at Macie, why does this girl reveal their secrets.

Macie realizes that she had said misspoke, quickly tugs Sunny’s nightgown, “Mommy, I’m tired.”

Sunny sees that she could barely keep her eyes open, could only leave Kevin aside and tuck Macie into bed before continuing.

“Mommy, can you and daddy tuck me in one on either side?”

Sunny couldn’t reject Macie’s request and both of them stands on either side of the bed to coax her to sleep.

After some effort, Macie is finally asleep and Sunny yawns and is extremely tired.

“Let’s sleep early, come, do you want to sleep in my embrace?”

Sunny glares at him and says stiffly, “Piss off!”

She closes her eyes and when she opens her eyes, it is the next morning.

Sunny uses her hand to block the sun rays beaming in from the window and then realizes that the place next to her is empty. Kevin and Macie had already left.

“Is anyone out there?”

No one answers her and Sunny has a bad feeling creeping over her, could it be…

But when she opens the bedroom door, she realizes that she had worried for nothing. They are in the kitchen figuring out a new dish. “Why did you wake up so early?” She sighs a breath of relief when she realizes that she has over-worried and thereafter comes the anger.

“You all don’t even answer me causing my thoughts to wander.”

Macie says innocently, “Mommy, we already tried…”

“But you slept like a pig and we couldn’t wake you up. That’s why we decided to wake you up again after breakfast is ready.”

When she hears Macie’s words, Sunny feels that something is off, she didn’t expect Kevin to be so ruthless as to expose her.

“Oh? What kind of breakfast are you preparing?”

She decides to change the subject.

“Mommy, we made the crepes that you like but we don’t know if it tastes good.”

The way Macie put it seems to be seeking credits for her efforts. She places a plate of off-colored crepes in front of her, “Mommy, look.”

…

“Are you trying to poison me?” When Sunny sees the plate of crepe she sighs, “Or you don’t want me alive anymore?”

Kevin speaks, “Isn’t that the same meaning?”

“That’s why, I’m asking what your intentions are, or …”

“Mommy, I’m kidding you, these are the rejects, these are the …”

Sunny sees another plate being served to her and those look a lot more edible.

“Mommy, we’ve tasted them already. This plate is definitely edible. Daddy has made them rather tasty.”

On hearing this, Sunny takes a bite and feels that it’s barely edible. “Not too bad, must continue to improve.”

Sunny commented like a superior and with her statement, Kevin’s eyes lit up. He had originally expected Sunny to despise his cooking.

“Except that, next time don’t try out such things, you’re wasting food, understand?”

Before Kevin could relish in the success, he droops his head on hearing this and says, “Okay.”

He answers grudgingly.

But after he prepares the fried eggs and milk for Macie, he turns and finds that plate of crepe has been finished by Sunny.

“Why did you finish them, I thought that you didn’t want to eat and fried some eggs for you…”

But Sunny didn’t mind and wiped her mouth, “What’s the big deal? They’re delicious.”

“But just now you said…”

“Oh, I was just kidding.”

At that moment he feels that it could be the effect of the apron that makes his heart feel like a little wife.

Those words by Sunny causes him to be joyful.

Macie is sitting on one side not knowing what to make of this exchange. She sees the plate of fried eggs in Kevin’s hand and she is already so hungry and daddy doesn’t seem eager to give them to her.

“Daddy, can we eat already?”

She is really hungry and reminds him.

Kevin comes to his senses and gives her the plate of fried eggs, “Oh, dad was thinking of something and forgot.”

Sunny listens and laughs but doesn’t expose him.

“Today I need to go to the hospital and might have to work the night shift. You two sleep first and don’t wait up for me.”

Kevin hears this and becomes worried, “With the current situation, can you not work the night shift? What if…”

Sunny shakes her head, “This is the hospital’s regulations. I can’t flout this rule because of our situation, don’t you think?”

Kevin ponders and understands this reasoning, “Why don’t you resign. I can still afford to take care of us.”
