A Mysterious Man

Chapter 161: Want to Learn

After returning home, Sunny asks Kevin to wash the pots and pans first.

"Honey, we have other clean pots and pans. Can't we use them first?"

Hearing this, Sunny curls her lips in disgust. "This house and the tableware have been unused for a

long time. They will not be clean. I ate the porridge that day just to give you face. I can bear it, but

Macie can't."

...

Kevin finds it unbelievable.

"Okay, I'll go and wash them up."

Macie looks at the dejected Kevin and raises her small hand. "Dad, I'll help you."

Sunny is chewing on the apple from the side, amazed at their father-daughter relationship.

"Wow! Macie is a sweet girl who values love and righteousness."

...

Hearing this, Macie turns around and says seriously, "Mom, that is not how ‘value love and

righteousness’ is used in TV dramas."

Sunny feels that it is necessary to change Macie's way of thinking.

"Kevin, you wash up first. Then, I'll cook. I'll cook the rice outside the kitchen first."

Sunny warns Kevin to wash those pots and pans a few more times. She keeps repeating her words.

Only then does Kevin nod, "Honey, I see. Don't worry."

Hearing his promise, Sunny leaves with a relieved expression and then chews on the apple.

"Dad," Macie mutters softly, "I feel that Mom treats us as free labor."

Kevin is shocked to hear this. The bowl in his hand almost slips down, "Baby, how did you even know

about free labor?"

Macie says, "That's what the TV series said."

Kevin is both gratified and worried. He thinks that TV really affects the growth of teenagers and

children.

"Baby, you should watch some good TV dramas that are suitable to your age. Do you understand?"

Macie nods, "For example?"

Actually, Kevin has never watched any TV series before, so he could only say what he knows, "For

example, the TV series about romance. You should watch less of those."

Macie asks innocently, "Dad, what do you mean by romance?"

...

Kevin doesn't know how to answer her. He stands up and takes the pots and pans to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Sunny is fiercely gutting the fish.

She holds a knife and slices a few times at the fish. Then, she frowns and looks at the fish. She thinks

that it is okay and puts a few pieces of ginger on it.

Kevin coughs.

He puts away the things in his hand according to Sunny's instructions.

"Honey, you're cooking fish."

Sunny replies, then turns on the gas, pours out the water in the pot, and waits for the pot to heat up

before adding the oil. Kevin's heart skips a beat when he hears the sizzling sound.

Only then does Sunny realize that he is still standing in the kitchen, so she says, "Be careful. The oil

would splatter easily."

Kevin obediently dodges, and then the next second, he sees Sunny put the entire fish into the pot with

proficiency.

The collision of oil and water makes a sizzling sound, which frightens Kevin a little. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Sunny looks at Kevin and finds that his facial features wrinkle. His look is really funny, so she couldn't

help but laugh out loud.

"OK, if you're scared, just go out. I can cook by myself."

Kevin wants to run away, but Sunny's words instead arouse his unyielding spirits.

This is different from the roller coaster. He is really scared of the roller coaster, but this is different. He

just doesn't know how to cook.

Thus, Kevin stands still and stares motionlessly at the pot.

"Are you really not going out?"

Sunny is a little surprised. She never expects that Kevin will be so bold now.

"Just cook. I'll watch from the side and not make a sound."

Kevin thinks that maybe he has disturbed her, so he explains.

"I ... OK, if you want to see it, then you can."

As Sunny cooks, she has to pay attention to Kevin, so her efficiency of cooking is lower than usual.

When Macie rubs her belly and shouts for hunger, Sunny has finished the last dish.

"Kevin, help me dish up. Then we can eat. Macie, I'm sorry. Are you starving?"

Hearing this, Macie wipes the corner of her mouth. The traces of eating chocolate should have been

wiped off.

"Well, let's enjoy the meal. After dinner, we can have a good rest. Tomorrow, we'll move together."

Hearing this, Kevin asks, "Are we going to move by ourselves?"

Sunny says, "Otherwise, who will help you?"

"Maybe we can find a moving company."

"Then we also need to pack it ourselves."

Kevin is speechless again. He can only silently recite in his heart that what his wife said is right and

that he should listen to her. Then, he continues to eat the fish that his wife has put in his bowl.

Kevin is excitedly discussing cooking with Sunny over the dinner, "Honey, I saw you cooking today. I

found that it doesn't seem to be a difficult thing."

Sunny nods, "Yes, it's easier than riding a roller coaster."

" ... I feel the same way too, so honey, do you want to teach me when you're free?"

Hearing this, Sunny raises her head with a smile in her eyes, "Do you want to learn?"

"Yes."

"Seriously?"

"Seriously."

"Then just think about it."

...

Kevin thinks that if he had any backbone, he would smash the bowl in front of him. But he doesn't have

backbone.

Thus, he can only hold a bowl and silently resist.

Sunny realizes that she seems to have gone too far and quickly adds, "I was just joking with you. If you

want to learn, I'm willing to teach you."

Hearing this, Kevin pokes the rice, "Really?"

Sunny nods, "Yes, of course."

Kevin takes the opportunity to ask, "Then do you want to teach me?"

"Yes."

"Tomorrow?"

"OK."

Kevin feels better and his tone becomes livelier. "OK, you promise me this. Don't go back on your word.

Otherwise, I'll let you teach me in bed."

Hearing this, Macie asks, "Dad, what do you mean by teaching you in bed?"

...

Kevin and Sunny exchange glances, "Let's eat."

Macie, who hasn't got an answer, is very unhappy. So, she decides to make her parents unhappy.

So when she is about to go to bed, she keeps her head down and doesn't say anything.

"Is she alright?"

Sunny looks at Kevin with a worried face, "Could it be that she is missing the old house?"

Kevin says with certainty, "Maybe. Children are nostalgic."

So Kevin steps forward and says softly, "Macie, why are you unhappy?"

Macie is depressed. "Nothing much. I just think that I'm too young. You always treat me like a child. I'm

unhappy."

Hearing this, Sunny wants to laugh. It turns out that her daughter wants to grow up.

She squats down and looks at Macie with a serious expression. "Macie, sometimes mom and dad

shouldn't have said something with you. This is our fault, but remember, I never want you to grow up. I

want you to be a child forever."

"Why?" Macie asks dully.

"Because adults will have a lot of troubles. You are different. Your troubles are always related to how to

be happy. Mom only wants you to be happy. I don't want you to turn yourself into a little adult so quickly.

Do you understand?"

Macie replies.

Sunny takes the opportunity to teach her, "So sometimes, we want you to watch something that suits

your age and taste, instead of watching those boring TV dramas for adults all day. It will only add a lot

of worries to you."

Macie nods.

Kevin sees that Sunny has taught Macie a lesson, so he coughs and wants to comfort her.

"Wow, mom said so much. Got it, Macie?"

Macie nods affirmatively, and then puts on a smile.

"I see. Mom and dad, don't worry."

When Kevin and Sunny see her laugh, they heave a sigh of relief. "That's right. Don't think about

something unrelated to you all day long. Otherwise, Dad and Mom will feel very sad."

Kevin nods from the side. "My wife is right. Macie, listen carefully to what your mother said.

Hearing this, Macie nods, "Yes."

Sunny breathes a sigh of relief, "Then do you want Dad to bathe you or Mom to bathe you?"

"Can I wash myself?" Macie thinks for a moment.

Kevin nods and says, "Dad will prepare some water for you."

Sunny looks at Macie's back and suddenly feels a little distressed. "Kevin, I have done so little for

Macie."

Kevin stands beside her and hugs her after hearing this. "We will give her more love and make up for

what she has missed."

Sunny nods, "OK."

At this time, Sunny's phone suddenly rings.

Seeing the caller ID, she has a headache. "Hello, Troy."

"Sunny, how could you leave without saying a word? Tell me what happened!" Troy is furious on the

other end of the phone.

Sunny glances at Kevin with caution. Seeing that he has gone to release water for Macie, she says,

"We moved to Kevin's house in the city. It's still very close to yours."

"Am I talking to you about this?" Troy is roaring angrily.

Sunny says grievously, "Then what do you want to say?"

"You can do whatever you want. But why did you take my goddaughter away?"

Only then does Sunny understand what this fellow is excited about.
