A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 175

Kevin Quinn continues answering drily.

“Anything else?”

“I hear that you have been busy to take care of a woman recently and rarely come to the office, this matter…”

Before the speaker could finish his words, he is silenced by a look from Kevin who slowly walks towards him.

“I can put up with all the words but if anyone of you dares to talk something bad about her behind, watch out for yourselves…”

His eyes sweep over everyone in the room one by one, making others look away uncomfortably.

“Hey, well, let’s get it on.”

The rest swallow their grievances even if they have big grievance at this point after being threatened by Kevin.

“Very well, knowing what to say and what not to say is the only way you can continue to stay here, do you all understand?”

Looking at the group of people in front of him who are in their late fifties, having white hairs, Kevin remembers some bad memories.

It was the same situation back then when his father dragged himself and his brother on the rooftop…

“Alright, disappear while you can, I’ll look into the company’s affairs, you guys just leave me alone.”

Kevin’s mood changes suddenly, he then kicks over a small chair and shouts, “Get out of me!”

The others walk out slowly, dare not to choke with him, only the Master Quinn knows what’s wrong with him as he shows an annoying face.

He then walks next to Kevin with his crutch and pats on Kevin’s shoulder, “Have a chat with me?”

Kevin will not lose his temper in front of the Master Quinn even if he does not bear with it, so he holds his breath and finds himself a seat.

“Does it remind you of that incident few years ago when you see this scene today?”

The Master Quinn speaks directly to the point and these words hurt the deepest part of Kevin’s heart.

“Grandpa, I…”

Patting his shoulder, the Master Quinn says, “I know well about all this group of egoistic people…it is hard to change their nature no matter how much time has passed.”

Kevin’s voice becomes muffled, “If they hadn’t shut their eyes to people who were dying back then…”

“There is no such thing as not to rescue those in mortal danger, there is just about life.” The Master Quinn interrupts him quickly while his eyes staring ahead without moving.

If someone looks closely and carefully, they could see some sadness in his cloudy eyes.

“It is the mutual affection to help but not their parts that they should do.”

“That’s what I have taught you since you were a child, so you should know that some people whom they are cold by nature that you can’t press your expectation on them.”

Kevin then lights up a cigarette and holding it in his hand without smoking it. Looking at the smoke that curls up, his mood turns better.

“I know, I just angry…” Kevin then sighs secretly, “Grandpa, I understand, as long as they don’t make things difficult for me, I won’t intentionally look for trouble. I have more important things to do.”

The Master Quinn nods his head, “Right, there is something else I need to tell you.”

“Hmm?”

…

When Sunny sees Kevin, he is frowning and has a smell of smoke.

“Oh my god, what have you been doing? Why do you have a smell of smoke?”

Back to his conscious, Kevin only smells himself and it is really a bit pungent.

“Wait for me a while, I’m going to take a shower first.”

Having a thought that Sunny is still pregnant, Kevin then goes to the spare room in his office and takes a quick shower. He even sprays some perfume on his body for fear that the smell of smoke will be too stimulating for Sunny.

Who knows, it makes Sunny sneezing when she sees him.

“Forget about it, it’s fine.” Sunny waves her hand, “Why do you look to be preoccupied?”

Hogan who is on one side looking on and nodding his head approvingly.

“I’m fine, I…” Kevin hesitates, “I have something to tell you.”

Upon seeing the situation, Sunny lets Hogan leave first, “Say it.”

Kevin then takes several deep breaths, “What I am going to say next might be a bit stimulating, you have to be mentally prepared, especially be careful with the child.”

“What’s wrong?” Sunny begins feeling a little nervous when she sees Kevin instructing her so much.

“Do you still remember the one you tell me about called Hana Butler?”

Sunny nods, “I remember, what’s wrong?”

“Grandpa says that she is my fiancée…”

Sunny subconsciously thinks that she is not awake upon hearing from Kevin, or else Kevin is joking with herself.

“Today, is it April Fool’s Day?”

Kevin becomes a little annoyed, “I don’t know what’s wrong with them, grandpa suddenly calls me up and tells me something, this Hana was set for me when my father was still alive…”

Sunny doesn’t want to listen suddenly, “Alright, don’t talk about it, I still have things to do, I have to go.”

Sunny subconsciously wants to leave after finishing her words but is halfway there stopped by Kevin who pulls her arm, “Sunny, hear me out!”

Sunny turns around expressionlessly, mainly because of the reason that she doesn’t know what kind of expression she should put on now.
