A Mysterious Man

Chapter 90 Why would I lie to you?

“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.”

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?”

“Why for so long did you not try to come find me, if…” Kevin’s voice falls silent, and a deep exhaustion

is revealed within it, "If you were just willing to come find me..."

Sunny sneers, “How could I dare come find you, it was the girl of your dreams who made me so scared

like this. Tell me how I could have come to find you? "

Kevin who feels as if he has finally touched upon the truth about what happened that year feels a little

excited, “What did you say, say it again?”

However it seems Sunny misunderstood, “What, did I insult the girl of your dreams?”

“No, I didn’t mean that, I mean that year…”

“The past is in the past, we are both still alive and well now so there is no point worrying about events

of the past. Just regard me as gone and from now on its best that we never meet again.”

After Sunny says this, she remembers how pitiful and stupid she was that year, so why was she still so

attached to someone she is unable to have?

In the end wasn’t it her who was covered in cuts and bruises.

“I think there has been a misunderstanding between us, so how about we clear up this

misunderstanding?”

“No, I think you should leave here now.”

Kevin wants to say something else, but hears a timid childlike voice behind him, "Mum...what's wrong?"

Kevin turns his head and sees that it is the young girl who was almost hit by a car that day in the car

park!

What did she call Sunny?

Kevin turns his head back around and stares at Sunny, he attempts to see if there is something in her

eyes to figure out what’s going on, however there is nothing.

The tenderness in Sunny’s eyes is only released temporarily when she looks at the young girl.

“Don’t you think you should give me some explanation?” Kevin is suddenly a little anxious, she called

Sunny her mum so doesn’t that mean that he is…

“Kevin, this has nothing to do with you. Macie, you need to go back to your room, wait for me to send

this man out and then I’ll come to you.”

Although Macie really wants to listen to her mum and dad’s conversation, however seeing her dad with

his serious expression and her mum’s coldness, she feels its best if she goes and hides.

Therefore Macie returns back to her room.

As soon as Sunny sees that her daughter has closed her door she then says to Kevin, “No, she is not

your daughter.”

“She is just about the right age to be, so why do you say she is not?” Kevin does not believe what

Sunny has said; subconsciously he knows that Sunny is deceiving him.

Sunny has no other option so all she does is sigh, “Your child died not long after that year he was

born.”

Kevin’s eyes widen when he hears this as if struck by lightning, “What did you just say?”

Sunny looks at him and keeps telling him barefaced lies, “It was a boy and when he was just born he

was very thin because of insufficient nutrition. Therefore he couldn't survive the flu that year, and just

like that he died."

As Kevin listens to her speak he feels as if he is listening to a story about someone else.

“You are definitely lying to me… how is this possible…?”

Kevin’s hands are trembling slightly, and Sunny notices him doing this with a painful unable to bear

look in her eyes.

However she is unable to let anyone snatch her child away, including Kevin. She still doesn’t know

what the situation is between Kevin and Bella, so therefore she refuses to put her child in danger.

“Kevin, what is the use of me lying to you. If you want to believe it then believe it but if you don’t believe

me then forget it. In fact go out and turn left, if you don't believe me then you can ask Troy."

Kevin suddenly feels that in all these years he has been living as a fool, being played by everyone and

being sent in circles with lies.

“Hahaha…” He suddenly raises his head and laughs and then within the next second he unexpectedly

spits out some blood from his mouth.

Sunny is frightened from what she has just seen; she does not understand why Kevin inexplicably

spitted out blood.

“Don’t move, let me have a look.”

While Sunny says this she sits down next to Kevin to see what’s wrong with him, but who knew that

Kevin wouldn’t like this.

“No need to worry, knowing that you are still alive my heart that has been in a knot for many years now

has finally been untangled. From now on I won’t pester you again.”

Sunny’s heart shrinks painfully when she hears the last sentence, and she couldn't speak because of

the pain.

However while he is speaking Kevin stands up swaying slightly, “I won’t disturb you or your daughter’s

life anymore, I’m ready to go now, so I wish you all the best.”

The deep voice seems to hit Sunny’s heart with a heavy hammer, for the last time she told herself.

Then while Kevin wasn’t paying attention she pulls him to sit down again and says, “Don’t move, I am

going to examine you, it will be quick.”

Kevin is suddenly being dragged towards the sofa and without thinking about it wants to stand up. He is

not in such a fragile state that he needs a woman to look after him.

Sunny forces him to sit down while an indescribable anger is growing inside her, “Sit down now and

don’t move!”

Without waiting for him to resist she uses her other hand to check his pulse.

Who knew that the more she examines him the tighter her eyebrows crease together with focus, “The

poison within your body hasn’t been cured yet?”

Kevin’s secret is suddenly discovered and the expression on his face is not pleasant, "This has nothing

to do with you, have you finished examining me? Once you’re done then I will leave."

Sunny stops him again when he was about to get up, "Wait a moment, I'm going to call Troy, don't

move."

Saying this she stands up and calls Macie, “Macie, please can you stay here and keep an eye on this

man. I’m going to find Troy and make him come over here. I’ll be back as soon as possible.”
