After finishing the talk on the phone, Kevin peeks into the private room. He thinks that his talk with Roger should not have affected the girls, so he pushes open the door and gets in.
“Who called you? It took you so long.”
“Nobody. Let’s enjoy the food. We’ll go somewhere after dinner.”
“Where are we going?”
“Dad, where are we going?”
“Be good. I’ll tell you after dinner.”
“Alright then.”
Sunny looks at Kevin in confusion for a long while. However, Kevin is thick-skinned and so calm. Helplessly, Sunny can’t find out anything.
“Hurry up. I’ll take you there after you finish eating.”
In order to know where they are going, Sunny and Macie devour and fill their stomachs. Then, the mother and daughter wipe their mouths in unison and say, “I’m done.”
...
Kevin is shocked and says helplessly, “I haven’t finished eating yet.”
As a result, Kevin can only gorge himself on the rest of food under the watchful eyes of Sunny and Macie. After paying the bill, Sunny and Macie immediately drag Kevin away.
“Are you in such a hurry to see your honey Roger?”
Kevin doesn’t have enough dinner. He is unhappy when he sees that Sunny is in a hurry to meet Roger.
However, Sunny is surprised. “You didn’t tell me that it is related to Roger, did you?” Sunny asks.
At this moment, Kevin wants to slap himself in the face.
“Cut the crap. Let’s go. Get in the car.”
Kevin’s face darkens. He starts the car and calls Roger, “Where are you? We’re coming to you.”
Roger glances at Michelle beside him and says, “I’m at Michelle’s brother’s house now. If you know the address, come over. Or I’ll pick you up at somewhere.”
Kevin says, “What do you think the navigation is for?”
After hanging up the phone, Kevin drives to Roger’s address without saying a word. Along the way, Sunny quietly looks at him for several times.
In the end, she really can’t hold back any longer. She carefully pokes Kevin and says, “Don’t be angry.”
Kevin is thinking the ways of fondling Sunny that she will beg for his mercy. He is frightened and chokes when he hears Sunny’s soft voice.
“Are you OK?”
Sunny hurriedly pats him on the back and helps him get his breath back. Only then he stops choking.
“I’m fine. Don’t be cutesy next time. I can’t stand it.”
Kevin can’t hold back his stern face any longer. Fortunately, Macie is in the car. Otherwise, he would have been aroused and slept with Sunny.
“Dad, are you alright? Godfather says that you will choke if you’re thinking something evil when driving.”
Macie sits on the child’s seat with her feet up. She gloats over her parents’ movement.
“I am fine.”
Kevin says slowly and clearly. He feels so embarrassed, especially when Sunny looks at him doubtfully after she hears what Macie said.
“We’re almost there. You guys should be ready to get off.”
Kevin tactfully changes the topic and comes back to today’s business.
“What exactly happened?”
Kevin glances at Macie in the rear-view mirror and says, “Macie, cover your ears.”
After confirming that Macie can’t hear him, Kevin tells Sunny the story briefly.
“Roger went to Jonathan’s house. He didn’t find anyone there, and then the house exploded.”
? ? ?
“How could it be?”
Sunny is shocked. “This is so... scary.”
She thinks for a long while and can’t find a suitable adjective. In the end, she can only use the ordinary word “scary”.
“Thank heavens. He is fine. Here we are. It seems that our house is not far away from here.”
Sunny looks out the window. When she turns around, she sees that Macie is still covering her ears sincerely. Sunny can’t help but laugh out loud.
“Kevin, look, our silly daughter is like you.”
Kevin looks back and smiles, “Yes, she is as lovely as me.”
...
Just as they are laughing, Roger comes out to pick up them and walks towards them.
“I didn’t expect that you arrived so soon. I thought it might be difficult for you to find here.”
“There’s navigation system, you fool,” says Kevin.
And then he says to the girls in the car, “You should get out of the car now.”
Sunny gets out of the car and then carries Macie, who is still covering her ears. She turns around and sees Roger.
“Hi, Roger. Long time no see.”
Roger nods and says, “Long time no see. Is this your daughter?”
“Yes. Macie, this is Uncle Roger.”
“Hello, Uncle Roger.”
