Chapter 149: Changing Clothes
Chapter 149: Changing Clothes
“Take them out and read.”
Kevin is a little depressed. Why doesn’t his surprise work on Sunny?
“Wait. Let me see. Change of legal person?”
Sunny is somewhat frightened when she sees the document’s letterhead, so she quickly turns to the
important part.
“Party A, Kevin Quinn, unconditionally gives the recently acquired Warner Group to Party B, Sunny
Ellen?”
She looks up and says, “Kevin, what did you do?”
Kevin clears out his ears and says, “I’m not deaf yet. Keep your voice down.”
Sunny looks at Kevin, and then at the document in her hands, feeling something unusual.
The next second, she rolls the paper into a ball and throws it at Kevin’s head.
Me? Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Kevin takes a hit for no obvious reason, and the car almost tilts.
“What are you doing?”
“Don’t do this again....” Sunny softens her tone, “Other than my mother, no one has treated me so well.”
Seeing her like that, he spares a hand to touch her head and says, “Be good. I will care for you on
behalf of your mother.”
Kevin would never forget what that woman said when he was most vulnerable and wanted to choose
death to escape. It were her words that gave him clarity and courage to live.
However, he didn’t expect that the person who had inspired him would choose to end her life by lying
on the track.
Kevin looks at Sunny with a complicated expression. If she knows how her mother really died, she
would probably....
“We’re here, finally. Are you going to fetch Macie or me?”
Sunny leans back on the passenger seat listlessly, saying, “You go.”
Kevin helplessly looks at Sunny and gets out of the car by himself. “Okay. Wait for me here.”
Sunny watches as Kevin leaves the car and enters the kindergarten. He greets the headmaster and
holds Macie’s hand.
Sunny sighs.
She looks at them and feels that this is how it is going to be.
The disturbing emotions from earlier slowly disappear.
Sunny looks up at the clouds. When she is young, her favorite thing is to hold her mother’s hand and
describe the shapes of the clouds in the sky.
Although she no longer enjoys doing that, she still finds surprises by looking at them. For example, this
one seems to be smiling at her.
“What are you looking up at?”
Kevin opens the back door of the car and places Macie on the children’s seat. When he looks up, he
sees Sunny counting the clouds.
“The clouds.”
Sunny gestures and says, “That one is smiling at us. Can you see that?”
Kevin’s eyes follow the direction she is pointing at. It is a patch of thin clouds that are close to each
other. From a distance, it does look like one is smiling.
“You are right. I can see that. You really have a rich imagination.”
Kevin sighs sincerely, then looks at the smile on Sunny’s face and grins in satisfaction.
“Let’s go home. Today, Dad will take you to a special place.”
Hearing that, Macie claps her hands and asks, “Dad, where are we going?”
Kevin smiles and says, “This is a secret. I’ll tell you when the time comes.”
Sunny’s curiosity is aroused, and she pulls the corner of his clothes, saying, “Where are we going?”
“You’ll know when we get there. Fasten your seat belt.”
Sunny does what she was told, sitting without a word. Looking at the increasingly unfamiliar road from
both sides, she feels something.
“Is today ... your grandfather’s birthday?”
Kevin is surprised that she has guessed right. Apart from being shocked, he is also amused. “How did
you guess this?”
Sunny asks curiously, “I was right?”
Kevin looks at the road ahead and says, “Well, a lot of people are going there too, so I didn’t tell you at
once. Coupled with the fact that we just experienced that thing, you would be upset if I told you.”
Sunny grew even more restless.
“Will it be packed? I am going empty-handed. I didn’t buy anything for him. It is your grandfather’s
birthday. I can’t go like this, can I?”
Kevin sneaks a glance at her. “It’s okay. I don’t think it is inappropriate.”
Sunny can’t argue with him, so she can only protest with actions.
“Alright, alright. Don’t worry. Your clothes are in the back. Macie, give them to Mom.”
Sunny says anxiously, “I’m not talking about this. I’m talking about your grandfather’s gift. I can’t go
empty-handed!”
Kevin says indifferently, “It’s fine. This birthday party is a show. When he was going through a dark
time, no one threw birthday parties for him. But in fact, he never enjoys such things. But my brother
likes them....”
Sunny looks at Kevin’s expression when he talks about the past, and feels as if her heart has been
stung.
“It’s fine. So we have to do a good job on the surface today. And we should look sincere. It’s not easy
for the old man.”
Kevin sees the singing and dancing in the front and knows that they are almost there, so he stops the
car.
“We are close. I....”
Sunny sees his strange expression, and covers his hand on the handbrake with one hand.
“It’s going to be fine. Trust me.”
“Honey....” Kevin suddenly turns around. “Are you going to change clothes in the car, or after we sneak
in through the back door?”
...
Sunny hesitates for a moment before saying, “Why don’t you get off first? I’ll change here, and then we
can enter through the front door.”
Hearing that, Kevin sizes up Sunny and whistles.
“Scram. Quickly get off!” she shouts.
Kevin has to carry Macie out of the car first. “Baby, let’s get off first and give mom some time.”
Alone in the car, she hides in the back row and opens the oversized clothes box. Inside is an evening
dress.
Kevin only casually said that there would be a lot of people. But how formal is this event for her to wear
such a fancy dress?
Sunny touches it a few times before undressing.
Fortunately, this evening dress is rather conservative, so she doesn’t need to wear invisible underwear.
She just needs to take off her clothes and put it on.
However, it is already late autumn, so Sunny can’t help but shiver when she puts on this thin dress.
Fortunately, Kevin has been waiting outside. When he sees Sunny coming out, he immediately takes
out a coat and puts it on her.
“Whose coat is this??”
Sunny asks as she sneezes.
“Of course it’s your husband’s. Let’s go, Mrs. Quinn.”
Sunny curls her lips and says, “I prefer to be called Miss Ellen. Mrs. Quinn sounds old. I’m clearly still a
young girl.”
On the side, Macie is licking a lollipop as she says, “Mom, if you’re a girl, then what am I?”
...
“Give me your lollipop.”
Macie quickly protects her candy and says, “Mom will always be a girl!”
Arguing, they arrive at the entrance of the hotel where the party is.
“Speaking of which, why isn’t the party at home?”
“Because Grandpa hates the noise.”
That’s a good excuse.
“You’re finally here.”
Before Sunny can wrap her head around things, a voice sounds. Judging from the tone, they already
know who that is.
“Kelly, why did you arrive so early?”
Kelly’s face is full of exhaustion. “Stop talking. I’ve been busy from morning till night. Look at my face. It
is so pale!”
“You’ve been sitting all day.”
...
Ellison comes from nowhere exposing Kelly’s lies, still expressionless.
Kelly naturally puts up a fight, “I have been busy!”
“Busy drinking tea and chatting?”
...
“I’m not going to waste my time with you anymore. Sunny, are you wearing no make-up?”
Sunny has been watching the fun, but now it is her turn.
“No. Is there a problem?”
Kelly waves her hand and says, “Check it out. This is an important event. You’re so stupid. They will
gossip about you for this.”
Hearing that, Sunny frowns. It doesn’t matter to her, but if Kevin or his grandpa is caught up in this....
“Kelly, do you have any make-up on you?”
Kelly understands what she means and snaps her fingers, saying, “Follow me.”
Hence, Kevin watches as his wife leaves as a young lady and comes back as a stunning beauty. The
dress is not exquisite, but it brings out her delicate body.
“Darling, are you Daji (an ancient and famous Chinese beauty who is said to ruin the country by
distracting the king) in your previous life?”
Sunny was afraid that she looked too attractive, because Kelly was trying to make her that way.
So, hearing Kevin’s words, she leaves without looking back.
“Stop! Where are you going?”
Luckily, Kelly quickly grabs her and says, “Are you unhappy?”
Sunny shakes her head, grabbing the edge of the skirt helplessly. But she is afraid of wrinkling it, so
she immediately lets it go. “I fear I am wearing too much make-up.”
Actually, she is just not used to looking like this.
Hearing that, Kelly shoots Kevin a look, signaling that it is his mess now.
Kevin has to hand Macie over to Kelly first, and explains himself.
“Darling, I didn’t mean anything else when I said that you looked like Daji. You are just too beautiful....”
As he speaks, he lowers his voice and whispers in Sunny’s ear, “If no one is around, I will....”
