A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 167

Jasper knows she asks him to stay to make love with her, but today, he was not in the mood.

"Are you reluctant to do it?"

The woman, who wears delicate makeup, raises Jasper's chin and leans closer to him. "If you don't want to, I won't force you."

Jasper stubbornly stares at the ground without saying anything.

The woman looks at his young face in a daze. Just as she is about to say something, Jasper suddenly pushes her to the ground.

'I know why you ask me to stay. But I'm like a moth darting into the fire. I know I'll get burned, but I can't help but get closer. Miranda....'

The woman called Miranda is shocked. After a few moments, she regains her senses and wraps her arms around Jasper's neck with a chuckle.

"If you finish up, clean away the dishes."

After dinner, Troy picks his teeth with a toothpick while looking at Baron, signaling him to clear the mess.

Baron looks at Troy coldly and says, "This is the second time."

Troy does not understand until he sees Baron shifts his eyes from the zipper on his coat down.

"Holy shit!" Troy jumps up and rolls up his sleeves. "You are younger than me. But believe me, I will hit you."

Baron puts away the dishes on the table and says, "You are not my match."

After that, he enters the kitchen under Troy's stunned gaze.

"Look at Baron..."

Troy cannot believe it and tries to save his face in front of Kevin and Sunny. "Has he run too wildly?"

Kevin snuggles up to Sunny in his arms with an obvious smug smile.

"No. You are really not his match. This is a fact. Don't you know?"

Troy touches his head dejectedly. "Even so, he shouldn't be so straightforward. It embarrasses me."

Kevin doesn't bother to reply.

Troy is thick-skinned enough to cope with Baron's taunts.

However, Sunny is quite sweet. "Calm down. I didn't hear what Baron said just now."

Troy's small eyes lights up.

Baron happens to come out of the kitchen. Hearing Sunny's words, he says with a gloomy face, "Do you need me to repeat?"

...

Troy feels that Baron is always against him.

"Go wash the dishes. I'll tidy up the things for them. Are there any Macie's clothes here?"

Sunny nods, "Yes, wait a moment. Kevin, open the door."

For some reason, when Kevin is asked for by name, he thinks he and Baron are alike, especially when Baron pats him on the shoulder before he walks towards the door.

Kevin has to follow Sunny's order with a sigh.

Then Sunny goes to sort out Macie's clothes, and Troy follows behind her.

"You guys said you wanted to have a second child. Haven't you made any progress?"

Hearing this, Sunny subconsciously looks at Kevin, who is in front of her, and replies softly, "I don't know either, but...."

Just as Sunny is about to say that she has menoxenia, she suddenly remembers that Troy is a man.

"Don't worry. I have learnt some medical skills from you. I know clearly that I'm fine."

Troy nods. "That's the best."

Kevin has already opened the door. When he hears them chat, he turns back and asks, "What are you talking about?"

Sunny and Troy glance at Kevin, and then shut up in unison.

Kevin keeps regarding them suspiciously. Having found nothing abnormal, he decides to let it go.

"I'll go fetch things. Are you going to wait here or go with me?"

Just as Troy is about to sneak in, Kevin grabs the back of his neck and returns, "We'll wait for you outside."

Troy is caught by Kevin, so he hangs his head in fear.

"What are you guys talking about? Tell me about it."

The moment Troy tries to fool Kevin that he and Sunny talks about nothing serious, he hear Kevin say, "Troy, we've known each other for twenty years, haven't we?"

Troy closes his eyes, knowing that he has to be honest with Kevin. "We are talking about the child."

The answer surprises Kevin, who remains silence for quite a while.

"What's going on?"

"I know Sunny haven't told you about it, right?" Troy sighs.

Kevin doesn't know why he is a little anxious. "What's it? Quickly tell me."

"Sunny gave birth to Macie under a poor condition. Meanwhile her arms and legs were broken at that time, so she suffered some chronic disease. Sunny should cure them after she came back, but she didn't care. I heard that you guys planned to have a second child, so I asked her."

Kevin doesn't say anything except an affirmative word. Troy turns around, finding Kevin is staring at the ground while pondering over something.

"Don't worry. She'll be fine."
