A Mysterious Man

... Kevin decides not to think too much. Sunny and he are not talking about the same thing at all. Thinking or saying too much will simply trouble himself.

After Kevin straightens out his thinking, he looks ahead and asks, "What do you want to eat?"

Sunny touches her belly and says, "It's not me who want to have a meal, but your son. He suddenly wants to eat hot and sour rice noodles."

??? The noble Kevin has never heard of this before.

However, at this time, he has to give first priority to this pregnant woman. So, although Kevin is confused, he can only look for yummy hot and sour rice noodles for Sunny. "I haven't had it for a long time. I miss that taste...."

Sunny opens the window. Her head is resting on her hand, which leans against the window. The wind is blowing and she sighs with emotions.

Then, Kevin stretches out a hand and gently pulls her head back, winding the window up with a calm expression.

...

Sunny glares at Kevin discontentedly, "What are you doing?"

Kevin looks ahead and says without turning back, "It's cold now. Don't catch a cold, or you'll suffer."

Perhaps it is because she isn't allowed to open the window, or because of other reasons, Sunny suddenly feels upset.

"When I was pregnant with Macie in the past, I wasn't so weak."

After Kevin hears this, he stops talking abruptly. Sunny keeps saying, "At that time, I was also with you. You didn't take care of me like this."

Kevin's expression sinks. He slowly clenches the steering wheel. Then, not knowing how he says to himself, he loosens his grip after a while. "Sunny, I know that you have always blamed me."

Kevin says in an extremely hoarse voice. "I know that I've done a lot of terrible things in the past. So, I want to treat you better and make up for the harm I've done to you in the past...."

As he speaks, he frowns. If someone is right in front of Kevin, he can see the sadness in his eyes.

"I've been trying to heal the wound in your heart. I hope that one day you can smile at me like you used to. However, we all know that those days are over. After all those things, we are no longer the same as we used to be."

Hearing these words, Sunny leans back in her chair and closes her eyes, "Stop it."

Her voice was filled with sudden exhaustion.

However, Kevin turns her down. "No, I want to make it clear. You can't have a grudge all the time. There shouldn't be any estrangement between us."

As he speaks, his voice suddenly lowers. "It's ridiculous. Sometimes, when I see you and Troy's tacit understanding, I even feel a little jealous. I hope that I can put back the clock. If something happens to you, I hope that I will be the one by your side." Not them.

"However, we all cannot put back the clock."

Sunny feels that she is a bit cruel. Kevin thinks that they can really be reconciled with each other without any grudges. But she breaks his fond dreams.

He has said these words too many times that even she almost believes it.

It turns out that some things will be clear only after they are said.

Sunny closes her eyes and says, "I'm sorry."

Kevin stops the car and leans against the steering wheel. No one knows what he is thinking.

Sunny looks at him for a long time. Finally, she reaches out and hugs him, "Come into my arms."

Kevin reaches out and hugs her. He seems to be calm. But the occasional twitch of his shoulders reveals his real mood.

Seeing Kevin, who is crying in her arms, Sunny can't help but feel a little sad. She looks up at the sky. If they could have come out of their shell at that time, would those things not have happened?

"Kevin, if something happened to the plane at that time and I really died, what would you do?" Would you look for a substitute just like what you did after Bella was dead?

As Kevin hears this question, he does not say anything. Just when Sunny thinks that he will not answer her, he slowly says, "I'll be with you when I'm sure you're dead." It's enough for her to get this answer.

Sunny closes her eyes, looks down and kisses his hair.

"Kevin, can't it be just over?"

When he hears these words, Kevin thinks that he has misheard her, "What did you say?"

He suddenly looks up. Sunny looks at him and he seems to be about to cry again, "Did I hear correctly?"

So, that's what he is talking about.

Sunny smiles and shakes her head, "You didn't mishear me. So, what is your answer?"

"I... Of course I'm willing."

Kevin's lips tremble and he hugs Sunny again. This time, he hugs the person in front of him with heartfelt delight.

"Sunny, we don't have any grudges now, do we?"

Sunny is held in his arms and gently closes her eyes, "No, we don't."

Thus, Mr. Quinn, who has no grudge with his wife, drives slowly on the road. Seeing his wife pointing somewhere, he steps on the brakes.

Then, he pokes his head and carefully looks around the place Sunny chooses, "Honey, is it sanitary here?"

Sunny bites her fingernails. Before she can say anything, her fingernails are pulled out of her mouth by Kevin.

...

"Yes. I always ate here when I was in college."

After getting the affirmative answer, Kevin stops the car attentively. Then, he gets off the car and waits at the door beside Sunny.

After Sunny packs up the things she will take, Kevin opens the car door for her and puts out his arm, "Honey, support me."

Looking at his flattery, Sunny can't help but laugh, "Kevin, if you have a tail, you will be like a golden retriever."

Kevin looks at Sunny with some grievances, "Honey, are you laughing at me?"

... So, when is he even unable to take a joke?

Sunny looks at Kevin, who is getting squeamish, and becomes silent.

"Waiter, we'd like two bowls of hot and sour rice noodles, one of which does not have chili and vinegar."

After listening to Kevin's order, Sunny looks at him with a complicated expression, "You order like this..." Why do you come to eat hot and sour rice noodles? "It would be better for you to eat in Hofan next door." Kevin is looking down to study the chopsticks. When he hears this, he looks up and asks, "What is that?"

... Sunny thinks that for the sake of her own child, she shouldn't bother herself arguing with this rich young master. So, she breathes deeply before she can speak normally....

"Hofan is a national chain hotel. Have you never eaten there?"

Sunny looks at Kevin studying those disposable chopsticks, as if he is studying rare species. She can't help but have an idea of teasing him.

Sure enough, when Kevin hears this, he looks up and asks dubiously, "Really?"

Sunny nods affirmatively, "Why would I lie to you about such a thing? You claim to have great experience. However, you haven't even heard of such a famous hotel?"

Kevin becomes more and more serious after hearing her words. Later on, Sunny feels that she is almost going to believe those words herself.

She stifles a laugh and says, "If you don't believe me, go outside and take a look. It's right next door."

Hearing that the hotel is next door, Kevin does not hold the chopsticks anymore. He stands up and rushes to the next door. Sunny behind him looks at his movement, laughs and lies on the table.

After a while, Kevin returns with a gloomy face. He just quietly glances at Sunny and then sits down without saying a word.

Sunny thinks that she is going too far. So, she says cautiously, "Did you see the big hotel next door?"

Kevin nods.

"Then... what do you think?"

When Sunny asks this, Kevin looks up and stares at her.

Sunny is a little embarrassed by his gaze. Just as she is about to look away, she suddenly hears Kevin say, "Honey, do you want to eat in the hotel?"

For some reason, Sunny chokes and coughs after hearing his words.

"Alright, I am sorry. It is just a joke."

Kevin does not say anything but still stares at Sunny.

Sunny sighs inside. She has to comfort this man, even though she is pregnant now.

"Kevin..."

Sunny stretches out her hand and gently tugs at Kevin's sleeve.

Kevin suddenly ceases to be angry. He pulls back his sleeve and says calmly, "Let's have a meal. Aren't you hungry?"

Hearing this, Sunny glances at Kevin and says, "Are you not angry now?"

Kevin seems to be amazed at her words, "Why should I be angry?"

"Am I so mean in your eyes? I think I'm quite easy to get along with."

Sunny carefully looks at the proud man. After confirming that he is not angry at her prank, she heaves a sigh of relief and begins to have a meal. Halfway through the meal, Sunny suddenly remembers the person she met in the supermarket just now. So, she asks, "Do you really not know that Miranda?" Hearing her mention this name again, Kevin becomes serious, puts down his chopsticks and carefully recalls, "I am sure I haven't heard of her before."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
