A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 149

“Take them out and read.”

Kevin is a little depressed. Why doesn’t his surprise work on Sunny?

“Wait. Let me see. Change of legal person?”

Sunny is somewhat frightened when she sees the document’s letterhead, so she quickly turns to the important part.

“Party A, Kevin Quinn, unconditionally gives the recently acquired Warner Group to Party B, Sunny Ellen?”

She looks up and says, “Kevin, what did you do?”

Kevin clears out his ears and says, “I’m not deaf yet. Keep your voice down.”

Sunny looks at Kevin, and then at the document in her hands, feeling something unusual.

The next second, she rolls the paper into a ball and throws it at Kevin’s head.

Me?

Kevin takes a hit for no obvious reason, and the car almost tilts.

“What are you doing?”

“Don’t do this again....” Sunny softens her tone, “Other than my mother, no one has treated me so well.”

Seeing her like that, he spares a hand to touch her head and says, “Be good. I will care for you on behalf of your mother.”

Kevin would never forget what that woman said when he was most vulnerable and wanted to choose death to escape. It were her words that gave him clarity and courage to live.

However, he didn’t expect that the person who had inspired him would choose to end her life by lying on the track.

Kevin looks at Sunny with a complicated expression. If she knows how her mother really died, she would probably....

“We’re here, finally. Are you going to fetch Macie or me?”

Sunny leans back on the passenger seat listlessly, saying, “You go.”

Kevin helplessly looks at Sunny and gets out of the car by himself. “Okay. Wait for me here.”

Sunny watches as Kevin leaves the car and enters the kindergarten. He greets the headmaster and holds Macie’s hand.

Sunny sighs.

She looks at them and feels that this is how it is going to be.

The disturbing emotions from earlier slowly disappear.

Sunny looks up at the clouds. When she is young, her favorite thing is to hold her mother’s hand and describe the shapes of the clouds in the sky.

Although she no longer enjoys doing that, she still finds surprises by looking at them. For example, this one seems to be smiling at her.

“What are you looking up at?”

Kevin opens the back door of the car and places Macie on the children’s seat. When he looks up, he sees Sunny counting the clouds.

“The clouds.”

Sunny gestures and says, “That one is smiling at us. Can you see that?”

Kevin’s eyes follow the direction she is pointing at. It is a patch of thin clouds that are close to each other. From a distance, it does look like one is smiling.

“You are right. I can see that. You really have a rich imagination.”

Kevin sighs sincerely, then looks at the smile on Sunny’s face and grins in satisfaction.

“Let’s go home. Today, Dad will take you to a special place.”

Hearing that, Macie claps her hands and asks, “Dad, where are we going?”

Kevin smiles and says, “This is a secret. I’ll tell you when the time comes.”

Sunny’s curiosity is aroused, and she pulls the corner of his clothes, saying, “Where are we going?”

“You’ll know when we get there. Fasten your seat belt.”

Sunny does what she was told, sitting without a word. Looking at the increasingly unfamiliar road from both sides, she feels something.

“Is today ... your grandfather’s birthday?”

Kevin is surprised that she has guessed right. Apart from being shocked, he is also amused. “How did you guess this?”

Sunny asks curiously, “I was right?”

Kevin looks at the road ahead and says, “Well, a lot of people are going there too, so I didn’t tell you at once. Coupled with the fact that we just experienced that thing, you would be upset if I told you.”

Sunny grew even more restless.

“Will it be packed? I am going empty-handed. I didn’t buy anything for him. It is your grandfather’s birthday. I can’t go like this, can I?”

Kevin sneaks a glance at her. “It’s okay. I don’t think it is inappropriate.”

Sunny can’t argue with him, so she can only protest with actions.

“Alright, alright. Don’t worry. Your clothes are in the back. Macie, give them to Mom.”

Sunny says anxiously, “I’m not talking about this. I’m talking about your grandfather’s gift. I can’t go empty-handed!”

Kevin says indifferently, “It’s fine. This birthday party is a show. When he was going through a dark time, no one threw birthday parties for him. But in fact, he never enjoys such things. But my brother likes them....”

Sunny looks at Kevin’s expression when he talks about the past, and feels as if her heart has been stung.

“It’s fine. So we have to do a good job on the surface today. And we should look sincere. It’s not easy for the old man.”

Kevin sees the singing and dancing in the front and knows that they are almost there, so he stops the car.

“We are close. I....”

Sunny sees his strange expression, and covers his hand on the handbrake with one hand.
