"Don't worry about that. Macie is here. If you miss her, come to see her."
Troy is shocked by her understatement for a moment, and then he quickly regains his senses. "Sunny, are you kidding me? You two should come to see me."
Sunny says with certainty, "But we are far away from you."
... Troy doesn’t how to respond.
After a while, he stammers, "Can I pick Macie up for the weekend?"
Hearing his words, Sunny knows what kind of bad idea he is thinking, but Sunny did not think too much and immediately agreed.
"OK, I'll send her over."
After the two of them have reached an agreement, Sunny hangs up happily.
"Macie, can you bathe yourself?"
Macie is trying her best to reach her back. When she hears the question from Sunny, she hurriedly asks for help, "Mom, I can't wash my back!"
...
Sunny has to put down the phone and do her mother's duty to help her daughter take a bath.
"OK, I'll help you, and then you can go to bed."
"Dad, I want to hear your story."
Since Macie wants to be a little girl, she has to pick up what she has lost first, the missing father's love.
"OK! I'm coming!"
Kevin happily takes a story book and walks into Macie's bedroom. "From a long time ago..."
It is another beautiful night.
However, on this beautiful night, Sunny and Kevin have a difference of opinion.
Because of their discussion of prostitutes.
Sunny holds that every profession is worthy of respect, and she doesn't have the heart to see anyone suffer.
Kevin is extremely disdainful of prostitutes. For so many years, he has already seen too many women from all walks of life who want to sleep with him.
Sunny asks, "A lot of people? How do they seduce you?"
Kevin says, "There are quite a lot people with various tricks. Do you want to know?"
Sunny is green with envy. She fiercely steps on Kevin, and then runs to the kitchen to sulk.
Kevin doesn't understand why Sunny stepped on him, and his confused eyes reveal a sense of sadness.
"Honey, are you angry for what I said?"
Sunny is brewing health tea and ignores him when she hears his voice.
Seeing that she is still in the mood to make tea, Kevin thinks she doesn't seem to be angry, so he raises his voice and says, "Honey, I'm going to take a shower."
"Whatever you say!"
Sunny tries to hold back her anger but fails. When she turns around, she doesn't see Kevin. That fellow is happily humming in the new bathroom!
Sunny is too angry to say anything. She can only drink the cup of tea by herself and then go straight to bed.
She turns off the lights!
After taking a shower, Kevin opens the bedroom door and is first surprised by the darkness. He can only feel his way to the bedside.
Sunny hears that Kevin has arrived at the bedside. In order to avoid what she does not want to happen next, she closes her eyes and pretends to be asleep.
Kevin listens to her unusual breathing sound and thinks that Sunny has already fallen asleep.
Therefore, he does not turn on the light. He touches Sunny's face and kisses her lightly, "Good night, honey."
When Sunny, who is pretending to be asleep, feels this kiss, she suddenly stops breathing and becomes softhearted. Then, she closes her eyes and falls asleep.
When she wakes up, the sky outside is bright.
Kevin is facing her. He puts one hand on her waist and the other under her neck as a pillow.
With her back to the light, Sunny sees that Kevin's face is so handsome. She couldn't help but do the following things.
She first kisses him on the forehead and then silently counts his eyelashes.
As she counts, she seems to have seen Kevin's eyelashes tremble. Sunny thinks that he is going to wake up, so she hurriedly closes her eyes.
Kevin quietly opens one of his eyes. Seeing that she is pretending to be asleep, he smiles and closes his eyes again.
After waiting for a long time, Sunny doesn't see Kevin make any move, so she opens her eyes boldly. Seeing that Kevin is still sleeping peacefully, she breathes a sigh of relief.
Then, she carefully picks up Kevin's hand and places it on his waist.
After that, Sunny holds her breath until she goes out of the bedroom and walks barefoot on the living room mat.
"I'm so tired..." She lets out a long breath and comes into the kitchen to see what she can make for the big and small ones who are still sleeping peacefully.
"We're going to move today, so we need more nutrition..."
She is talking to herself freely, completely unaware of the person slowly approaching from behind.
