A Mysterious Man

Chapter 137: Wait a Minute

Sunny throws a punch at him and says, “Don’t laugh at me at this time”

Kevin is in pain and says, “You are unhappy, and I just want to console you.”

“I am unhappy because you anger me. I think I know you, but I don’t. Is it impossible to judge a man’s

heart from his face?”

Hearing this, Kevin becomes serious. He forces Sunny to look at him and he says, “Maybe others are

like this, but I’m not.”

Sunny looks at him in confusion and asks, “What? What are you talking about?”

Kevin is frustrated to discover that he did all this in vain. Sunny is not listening to him at all.

“Never mind. So, what exactly happened to the HL Group? Why is it destroyed without any signs?”

Sunny asks.

Sunny can’t figure it out. Although she had worked in HL Group before, she didn’t expect such a large

company would be destroyed so quickly.

Hearing this, Kevin looks at her meaningfully and says, “It does have signs. Don’t forget that you left for

five years.”

Actually, both of them are unwilling to mention this topic. However, Kevin mentions it, but Sunny finds

that she is not as upset as she has imagined.

“What happened in those few years?”

“First of all, the HL Group’s boss, Michelle’s father, suddenly announced his abdication and handed

over the position of chairman to Alex Elliott, Michelle’s brother, who had just come back from abroad.”

“Was it so sudden? I don’t think her father was old. He looked like in his fifties.”

“Yes. He retired too suddenly, and he promoted Jonathan to vice president before retired. Therefore, it

was rumored in the industry that he was threatened by someone.”

“What?”

Sunny is surprised, looking at Kevin dumbly.

“After that, nothing special happened. The most common rumors were that Alex and Jonathan couldn’t

get along well with each other, or Alex and Jonathan were fighting over something.”

“It seemed normal. Forget it. It has nothing to do with us anyway. Have you finished your work? Let’s

hurry back if you’re done.”

Kevin glances at her and asks, “Why are you in such a hurry?”

Sunny shows him the time on her phone and says, “It’s time to pick up Macie from school.”

...

Only then does Kevin stop telling the story. He stands up and goes to deal with his business.

“Hogan, come in.”

After finishing his work, Kevin called Hogan.

“I won’t be in the company for a few days. I have something to do. So I’ll leave the company to you. Do

your best.”

Hogan is unhappy that his boss leaves the heavy responsibility of developing the company to him.

“Boss, I am not good enough. I’m afraid that I’m not qualified.” He also wants to fall in love and date

with someone. If he devotes all his energy and time to the company, he won’t be able to date with

someone.

“Hogan, dare you say it again?”

Kevin threatens, “If you do a good job, I will find you a girlfriend. It’s a great deal, isn’t it?”

Hogan thinks that the girl introduced by the boss must be better than the one he found, so after

weighing up the pros and cons, he nods and agrees.

“Boss, when will you come back?”

“It depends.”

After giving an ambiguous answer, Kevin leaves freely with his wife.

“You’re so cruel to Hogan, aren’t you?”

Sunny feels sorry for Hogan. He is too miserable.

“I will introduce him a girlfriend. He is not miserable.”

...

Sunny can’t win the argument, so she can only console herself, “Forget it. I won’t be angered by such a

childish person.” Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

After getting in the car, Kevin asks, “Why don’t we go out for dinner tonight? What do you think?”

Sunny thinks for a moment. She hasn’t eaten outside for a long time. She stays all time in the kitchen

every day, and she will soon become a faded old woman.

“OK, what would you like? I would like something spicy.”

Kevin also wants to eat something spicy. He asks, “Can Macie eat spicy food? If she can, let’s go to eat

hotpot!”

Sunny says rightfully, “It’s not up to her to decide what she eats. Let’s go.”

Kevin smiles. He feels that Sunny is spoiled by him, and she is getting more and more courageous.

In the past, when they just knew each other, she always looked down and did everything carefully.

Now, she is much better.

Sunny thinks of another thing and she asks, “How is Irene? I haven’t seen her for quite a while.”

Hearing this name, Kevin is unhappy and says, “I don’t know. I told her not to appear in my sights in the

future?”

? ? ?

“What happened?”

“Didn’t I tell you? Or did you forget? Irene is a member of the PY Gangster, and she is also Bella’s spy.

Bella would know so quickly that you came back due to Irene.”

“What?”

Sunny feels that her brain is not working at receiving so much information at one time.

At this moment, Kevin brakes his car and says, “Here we are.”

Hearing this, Sunny take a look outside. It turns out that they arrive at Macie’s kindergarten.

There are a lot of people at the entrance after school. However, Macie is surrounded in the middle of a

group of kids, as if she is a moon among the stars. Therefore, Sunny sees her at a glance.

“That’s strange. Is she so popular?”

Sunny mutters in disbelief. Seeing that Macie is popular among the kids, Sunny suddenly sighs with

emotion.

“It would be great if everything could be settled smoothly. I haven’t seen Macie smile so happily for a

long time.”

As Sunny speaks, Macie sharply sees Kevin’s car entrance. Then she says good-by to her classmates,

“My parents are here to pick me up. I have to leave.”

She waves her hand at the kids around her like a little princess. Then, she gets out of the crowd with

difficulty and runs towards her parents.

“Dad, Mom!”

Macie skillfully opens the backseat door and gets into the car with great difficulty.

“Baby, are you hungry? Your Mom and I are going to eat hotpot.”

Macie is surprised. She widens her eyes and says, “I’m hungry. I want to eat hotpot.”

“Fasten your seat belt and I will take you there.”

After confirming that Macie fastened her seat belt, Kevin steps on the accelerator. He is so careful and

completely different from when he teased Sunny in the morning.

“Oh, you treat you daughter and wife so differently. I’m so sad.”

Sunny deliberately covers her heart and begins to put on a play.

“Darling, don’t you want to sleep tonight?”

Kevin gently glances at her and says, “Go on, if you don’t want to sleep.”

...

“Oh, why haven’t we arrived yet? I’m starving to death.” Sunny changes the subject.

Macie is confused. She repeats Sunny’s words, “I’m starving to death, too.”

The two girls are starving to death, so Kevin can only show his aura as a president. He calls Hogan

and asks him to book the nearest hotpot restaurant.

“Dad, you are so nice.”

The three of the family are relaxed. However, Roger is suffering.

According to the address Kevin gave him, he only finds an empty building.

“Damn it, he escaped.”

Roger angrily kicks the door, and finds that the door creaks and opens.

...

With intense curiosity, Roger pushes open the door and walks in. However, he is scared by the

decorations inside.

The walls are painted with all sorts of terrifying eyes and mouths in red and green. It looks like that they

are looking at Roger, whispering to each other.

On the sofa, there are some red stains.

At first, Roger thinks they are blood stains. But when he gets closer and sees carefully, he finds that

they are all red paint.

Without the slightest hesitation, he calls Kevin.

Kevin is just served the hotpot and he hasn’t started eating when he gets the call. Moreover, it is an

unfamiliar number.

“What’s the matter?”

Sunny sees that Kevin looking at his phone in a daze, wondering if something is wrong.

“It’s fine. I’ll take the call. Help yourself.”

As he speaks, he stands up and walks to the door of the private room and the answers the phone.

“Hello, who is speaking?”

“This is Roger.”

“Roger, what’s the matter?”

“I’m at Jonathan’s house now. When will you free to come over? I have something to show you.”

Kevin glances at the girls in the room and says, “I’m having dinner. I’ll come to you after finishing my

meal.”

Roger agrees, “You have to hurry up. I feel scared and suffocated here.”

“Alright, you can leave first. Is he not there? How did you get in without him?”

Kevin suddenly feels that something is wrong. He asks, “Did he run away?”

“I suppose he did. I’m going to wander around and see if I can find anything.”

“Get out of the house. I think something is wrong. Listen to me and leave the house.”

Kevin’s intuition grew stronger and stronger, so his voice grew louder.

“OK, OK. I am going out.”

Roger rubs his ears and says, “I’m already outside the door...”

As soon as he finishes speaking, the house explodes in an instant.

Kevin hears the extremely loud noise from the phone.

“It... it is shocking.”

Roger is in disbelief as the house in front of him exploded and was burned in all of a sudden.

“You saved me.”

Roger sincerely says, “Otherwise, I would have died here today.”

Kevin says, “Don’t mention it. Remember to treat me to dinner next time.”

“Come back. We will come to you after dinner.”

Roger is silent for a while. There is no way out. Thus, he can only agree, “OK, I’ll go back and comfort

Michelle. I’ll send you my address later.”
