A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 89

Kevin rubs the tears in his eyes. He says, “Troy Viktor, I won’t let it go.”

Troy sighs, “I’m really sorry, so you’re welcome to seek revenge anytime.”

What Troy meant is that he feels sorry for hiding the fact that Sunny is still alive, but Kevin naturally assumes that he’s talking about the kidnapping of Sunny.

“Just wait and see.”

Kevin sits in the car. Before departing, he squints his eyes towards Macie who is standing beside Baron. She does not look like Sunny at all. He then drives off without any hesitation.

When he leaves, Troy asks, “Why didn’t you let me say it?”

“We promise her to not say it. In addition, she’s living a good life now and doesn’t need someone irresponsible like him.”

Troy says, “Even it’s that way, it’s not good for us to interfere in their matters.”

At this moment, Macie interrupts their conversation, “Uncle Troy and Uncle Baron, are you guys saying about the matters between daddy and mommy?”

Troy looks at Macie. She looks like Kevin when he was young. His heart softens at the sight. “Yeah. Does Macie want daddy?”

Macie pretends to consider seriously and says, “If mommy doesn’t want him, I can don’t want too.”

Troy looks at Macie with pitiful eyes. “Your mommy wants him. It’s just that now it’s not the right time. Can Macie wait some more?”

Macie nods, “Okay. I’ll listen to you.”

After Troy consoles Macie, he calls Sunny, “He left. You can come back now.”

Sunny answers, “I never left. I’m just at the corner.”

Troy finds her under her instructions. He can’t help but to say, “You surely have the guts to hide here. What are you going to do if you get caught?”

Sunny shrugs, “It doesn’t matter. At most I’ll greet him.”

“You sure are something. I was so stubborn just now. Anyways, are you hungry? Let’s go eat.”

Sunny nods her head. All of a sudden, with a serious look on her face, she turns to Troy and says, “Thank you.”

Thank you for being willing to take me with you. Thank you for not giving up on me during your worst times. Thank you for saving me.

Troy awkwardly looks at Sunny’s neck and saw the scar. “I owed you this so don’t thank me.”

Sunny shakes her head and smiles. “There’s no clear line between us now. Let’s go and eat.”

After finishing her sentence, she takes her luggage and walks out. “Macie, do you miss me?”

Macie runs towards her and hugs her tightly. She says in cute voice, “yeah, mommy, I miss you! I want to eat the meals cooked by mommy.”

Sunny carries Macie in her arms, “Oh, you’ve become heavier.”

“That is because she eats unhealthy food every day. Of course she will become fat.”

Baron who is at the side interrupts coldly. How dare she diss the food made by him.

Sunny smiles. “You two are unbelievable.”

Troy follows up behind Sunny. “Let’s go upstairs. Sunny, is it okay if you stay opposite our house?”

Sunny nods her head. “I’m not picky. In fact, I’m very grateful to have a place to stay.”

“I stay in that place at first. Later on when Baron moves in to the house opposite mine, I move into his house.”

Troy goes on rambling while helping Sunny with her luggage. On the other hand, Macie is clinging onto Baron. “Uncle Baron, carry me.”

“You’re already big yet you want me to carry you.” Baron diss her but he still carries her in his arms.

It is not easy to raise up this kid. There are many instances where she is on the brink of death. What surprises them is that she manages to survive every time.

“It’s true that you’ve become fat. But you still have to eat more.”

“Uncle Baron, you cannot say girls are fat.”

“I won’t find a girlfriend anyway.”

“Then will you dislike godfather if he’s fat?”

“I won’t. I just dislike you!”

Macie angrily bites his shoulder. “Bad uncle!”

Sunny and Troy who are at the side find the scene funny. He’s so reluctant to admit his love for her. He is the most excited person when Sunny gives birth to Macie. He can’t even hold the blanket properly at that time.

But then, they can’t use the tactic of exposing his weak spot. Else they won’t live peacefully after that with Baron’s habit to seek revenge at the smallest issue.

Therefore, while stifling their laughter, they start to discuss what to eat for dinner.

“Baron, are there any food at home? I’ll cook.”

In the end, Sunny decides to cook herself since it’s healthier.

“There’s a chicken and a bit of prawns. It’s in the freezer. I’ve bought them yesterday since this kid likes to eat. There are vegetables, potatoes and eggs too.”

Sunny interrupts him when he’s about to say more. “That’s more than enough. Can you cook ? I’ll take care of the rest.”

Baron nods his head. “Sure.”

Troy says with a bored face, “I want to eat fried shrimps.”

“I want the shrimps steamed!”

They start to argue whether to have the shrimps fried or steamed for dinner.

The lift hasn’t reached their floor so Sunny leans against the wall of the lift while watching them with a big smile on her face. They finally overcome it.

She doesn’t know what crossed her mind, but tears start to well up in her eyes. She quickly turn her back towards them in hopes of not getting seen.
