A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 52

"Are you aware of your weakness before giving up or have you given up long ago?" Kevin isn’t silly, nor is he easy to be fooled.

"I admired him when I was a kid. But now, it can be said I have my blessing for him." Sunny answers in a low voice.

Kevin hears the words and closes his eyes, "I see, Sunny. Why do you think I will become a rebound guy for you?"

Hearing his question, Sunny doesn't answer. She just says a few words lightly but they are the most useless words.

"Sorry."

Kevin swears that he hates these words most in his life. When Bella resolutely decides to leave him, when his mother finally speaks to him, they all said so.

They all said the simple words ‘sorry’. They wish to find an excuse for themselves.

"Sunny, I don't accept it." Kevin says without looking at the expression on Sunny's face. He turns around and walks towards the exit to leave.

Sunny wants to catch up with him because there is an impulse in her heart that makes her want to hold Kevin's hand. But she doesn’t.

She just stands there quietly, watching Kevin's back become smaller. Gradually, she can’t see his back clearly. Finally he disappears into the darkness.

From the beginning to the end, her fingernails are holding between her thumb and forefinger. It seems that only physical pain can make her feel a little better, so that her heartache won’t attract her attention so obviously.

She doesn’t know how long she stands outside. She doesn’t regain her mind until Sunny clearly feels the numbness in her legs.

Sunny listens expressionlessly to the noise inside, not knowing what she is thinking.

In the end she sighs and walks in. She enters the lively place that has nothing to do with her.

Zola seems to have been waiting for her for a long time. There is no surprise for her to watch her walking in alone.

"Sunny, you’re coming." Zola smiles. But in Sunny's view, it is full of malice in her eyes.

"Don't be so hypocritical. We don't need to pretend to be intimate here."

Since that Sunny breaks her pretence, Zola is not in the mood to pretend.

"Well, does Kevin abandon you? It's pitiful for you to be abandoned again and again."

"Zola, you always know what your character is. Now you feel that the things you rob are quite useful. The reason of this is because no one will compete with you. When you become old one day, maybe you will be abandoned according to Gerry's virtue."

Sunny really expresses her meanings clearly, which makes Zola involuntarily think of what Gerry did a few days ago.

Now her expression has changed.

She subconsciously thinks that Sunny comes to mock her specially because she already knows something. "Sunny, whether the things are useful for me, you won’t know it anyway. Instead of worrying about me, you might as well take care of yourself first."

Hearing this, Sunny isn’t in the mood to care about her. If she doesn't get the point, it is useless for others to say anything.

Just then, Roger and Michelle approach them to propose a toast.

"Sunny, why are you alone?" Michelle feels so weird why isn't Kevin here.

Sunny barely gathers her energy, "Michelle, Kevin has something to do so he goes back first. I am here to apologize to you for him."

Zola still makes troubles for her aside, "Sunny, your apology really lacks of sincerity. At least you need to drink two glasses."

Roger looks at Zola and frowns unconsciously.

Instead, Sunny is immersed in her own thoughts, not realizing that Zola has bad intention.

She even takes the glass that Zola hands over. She even feels free and drinks it straightly.

After drinking, she shows them the bottom of the cup, "I'll go first. Bottoms up."

Zola looks at Michelle with a sweet smile, "It should be reasonable for me to have a drink. I also regard Roger as my brother. But I am pregnant and the doctor advises me to drink less."

How will Michelle not know what kind of people Zola is. She doesn’t force her, "At your will. After me is my respect."

After the toast, she can’t help but pulls Sunny to leave. However, she doesn't expect Sunny to blush a bit. She also stares straightly at a place.

She looks in the direction of her eyes. It is Roger.

Now her expression has changed and even her red blush can't hide her pale face.

What happen?

Roger apparently notices this situation too. He keeps his countenance to hug Michelle, hinting her to calm down.

And Zola is sitting next to them as if she is watching a good show. There is a Gerry who is so silent today.

"Sunny..." Michelle opens her mouth tentatively as she tries to control her crazy suspicion.

"Kevin..." Sunny murmurs quietly. Apparently she has already become drunk.

Hearing her voice, the expressions of people present are all different.

Roger stands there expressionlessly while Michelle sighs in relief. But looking at Zola, she is so surprised.

Kevin leaves there early. He can’t accept that he is always regarded as a rebound guy. The more he thinks about it, the more he feels that Sunny is hateful.

It seems that he has been used. On the one hand, he helps her to avenge. On the other hand, he can even help her to handle loneliness.
