A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 90

“Mommy, it smells so good!” Among them Macie is the most supportive of the food.

“Eat it, I still have one more soup to finish then I’m done.” The other three people don’t pay attention to what she is saying and start to pick up their chopsticks to eat.

“Macie, eat this.” Baron uses his chopsticks to throw the vegetable dish he doesn’t like into Macie’s bowl. “Baron, I also don’t like this dish!”

“Young children must eat enough vitamins, if you don’t believe me then ask Troy!”

“Macie be good, after you finish eating this then Troy will take you to eat ice cream. Don’t you want to eat some Haagen-Dazs ice cream?”

Macie’s eyes light up, “Yes I want to eat that!” She then obediently swallows down the vegetables.

Troy proudly looks at Baron, “Seems that I’ve done the trick.”

Baron laughs and points at the body position of Troy, and Troy’s expression changes, “Damn it, are you a hooligan or some kind of inhumane beast!”

Baron doesn’t answer, but he uses his chopsticks again to throw the vegetables into Macie’s bowl.

After Sunny sits down at the table, Troy while eating says, “Tomorrow which hospital should I go look around to find you a job post? Otherwise if you stay inside all day then you will start to go crazy.”

Sunny understands what he means and nods her head, “Am I able to enter the hospital now?”

Troy after hearing this glares at Sunny, “I don’t even want to know who put this idea into your head, but why wouldn’t you be able to go to the hospital?”

As the sound of his voice dies away he hears the sound of someone sneering which makes him so angry he almost throws his chopsticks, “Why are you laughing at me!”

“Her medical skills are a lot better than yours.”

“Really, by teaching apprentices how to starve to death.”

Sunny takes an amused look at Troy, and then pushes his favourite dish towards him, "Master, this is what the apprentice made especially for you. You won't starve with me."

Troy’s face turns cloudy and after he pulls a long face, eats some food he then says to Baron, “Today I’m going to sleep in the study.”

Before Baron has time to start feeling confused by this, he hears the voice of Macie next to him interrupt, “Why, are there not enough beds in Baron’s home?”

Troy almost chokes after hearing this, “Macie, eat your food, you almost caused me to choke to death.”

Macie pouts rather unconvinced but then grabs her chopsticks and stuffs the vegetables into her mouth that Baron gave her.

After eating and drinking, Sunny bids farewell to the two of them. Before they leave, she says sincerely, "You two please control yourselves. Don't forget that there is a child in our family."

Troy’s face turns red and then pretends to say rather aggressively, “Ok we understand, you should leave now.”

Macie waves to them both and says, “Baron, Troy, goodnight.”

“Goodnight darling, see you tomorrow.”

After the door closes, Troy is especially malevolent towards Baron and says, “You monster!”

Sunny is very tired because she had been flying all day and had to clean and cook when she came back. So after Sunny puts Macie to sleep, as soon as her head touches the pillow she also falls asleep.

She doesn’t dream all night until it’s the next day.

What wakes her up is the doorbell that keeps ringing.

“I’m coming, who is it?”

Sunny is very irritated from being woken up and thinks who could be so ignorant and disturb people sleeping so early in the morning. Macie who is also scared is standing by her door rubbing her tired eyes.

“Mom who is it?”

“I will go see who it is, but you should go back to sleep.”

Macie nods her head and her eyes float back to her room without focus.

Sunny prepares to curse this person who is knocking on her door, however once she opens the door and sees clearly who it is, all the words she prepared to say suddenly scatter away.

The blood on her face completely disappears, “It’s, it’s you.”

In front of her is Kevin standing there with an expressionless face, both as if he is waiting for an explanation and as if he just wants to take a good look at her.

“Come on in.” The two of them face each other for a while, and once Sunny realizes that Kevin doesn’t leave after seeing her, she then has to invite him in and sit for a while.

It’s just for a short while and then I’ll make him leave.

Sunny says this quietly to herself.

When Kevin sits down on the sofa he is still just as expressionless as before, however once he sees her neck his expression relaxes slightly.

Sunny without thinking hides the scar on her neck however she is too late because he has already noticed.

“How did that happen?”

Sunny sees that he really wants to get to the heart of the matter, so as a result she tries to deceive him, “It’s nothing, I just wasn’t careful before and hurt myself.”

Kevin’s face turns cold, “Sunny, do you really think I’m a fool?”

Being asked this, Sunny’s expression turns to despair, “Then what do you want me to say, that year when I didn’t want to live anymore so I tried to slit my own throat but I was unsuccessful? Or do you want me to say when I was in the plane crash a piece of glass almost killed me?”
