A Mysterious Man

Chapter 150: Trouble Knocks on the Door

Sunny goes shy and blood rushes to her face.

She pushes Kevin away. “Shut up. Hurry up and go in. Don’t make your grandfather wait any longer.”

Seeing that she is fine, Kevin smiles and hugs her. He holds Macie’s hand and says, “Let’s go, baby.

Go in with your dad and meet your grandpa.”

Macie hasn’t met her grandfather, and she doesn’t know what a grandfather means. However, in the

Korean dramas she has watched, gray-beard old men are usually not nice, because they often come

between the male and female protagonists.

So, she forcefully shakes off Kevin’s hand. “I won’t go. Mom and Dad are not allowed to go!”

Sunny looks at Macie in confusion. She does not quite understand where her temper comes from.

Lily bends down and tugs her dress with embarrassment, asking, “Macie, can you tell mom what’s

wrong with you?”

Macie looks at her mother, and her mind is occupied with the tragic scene of her mother and father

being separated by a strange old man with a white beard.

So now, she is not only pouting, but crying.

And because they are standing at the door, it is quite eye-catching.

When Kevin sees that his daughter is sad, he also squats down and comforts her kindly, “Macie, what’s

wrong? Tell dad.”

Macie sobs and says, “I don’t want to see any grandfather. He will separate you.”

Sunny and Kevin finally understand what this little girl means. They can’t help but be angry and

amused.

“Child....”

Sunny doesn’t know what to say, so she can only hug Macie and wipe away the tears on her face.

Then she says warmly, “Don’t worry. Mom and Dad won’t be separated. We’ve met that grandpa and

he is very nice. He will give you candy.”

Hearing that, Macie raises her head and covers her eyes with her hands. “Really?”

Sunny nods. Before she can speak, she hears a voice, “Is this my little great-granddaughter?”

Hearing that, Macie curiously puts down her hands, wanting to see who it is.

Looking up, she sees old master gazing at her kindly. The wrinkles on his face are so dense that they

can even kill flies.

However, his smile is seemingly amiable, and he doesn’t seem to be dissatisfied with her parents being

together.

“Are you my father’s grandfather?” she asks boldly.

Old master frowns and says, “Who is your father?”

Kevin strokes his forehead helplessly. “Grandfather, this is your little great-granddaughter. Her name is

Macie Ellen.”

When old master hears that this girl is surnamed Ellen, he knits his eyebrows. However, he doesn’t say

anything and just nods.

“Little doll, do you want to eat something? I have so much food to offer.”

On the whole, Macie is easy to bribe. After hearing that there is food, she happily leaves her parents

and follows old master.

As old master walks, he holds a buffet plate and gives her something to eat. Then, he pretends to ask

inadvertently, “Little girl, why are you surnamed Ellen?”

As Macie eats, she casually replies, “Because when I was born, my father wasn’t around.”

Hearing that, old master forcefully pokes the ground with his stick, saying, “What? How ridiculous!”

Ordinary people would be frightened when they see him like this, but Macie has watched too many TV

dramas to know that he is not as terrifying as he looks.

“When I was born, Mom and Godfather were on a lonely island. Dad couldn’t find us, so Mom gave me

her last name first...,” she explains as she casually gnaws on the puff in her hand.

Old master looks at his little great-granddaughter and felt sad that he couldn’t see her for so many

years.

Especially, the girl eats like his wife.

“Do you want anything else?”

“I can’t eat anymore. Mom says that if I eat too much, I’ll be fat.”

When old master hears that, he can’t help but laugh, “Your mother has taught you well.”

On the other side, Sunny and Kevin hold hands and walk into the main venue proudly.

As soon as they enter, Sunny can feel all kinds of gazes on her.

So, she whispers to Kevin, “Did I ever tell you that I was a little nervous?”

Kevin also quietly replies, “You didn’t, but now I know.”

“Then what should I do?”

Sunny asks, but before Kevin can answer her, new troubles come to their door. A stranger walks in

front of them with a glass of wine in his hand.

He clinks glasses with Sunny, and then says, “Mr. Quinn, care to introduce?”

Kevin does not look friendly when he sees them clink glasses, so when he hears that, he coldly curls

his lips and says, “This is my patron.”

With that, he pulls Sunny away quickly, who is about to laugh.

Arriving at a quieter place, Kevin says helplessly, “If you want to laugh, laugh.”

Sunny can’t hold back any longer and laughs out loud. Then, she can’t stop.

Kevin strokes his forehead helplessly. “I didn’t think before I said that. Don’t take it to heart.”

Sunny finally stops laughing, and then she stands on tiptoes and puts one hand on Kevin’s shoulder.

“Let’s go. I spent money, so I have to act like it.”

Kevin is extremely regretful that he let jealousy take over him just now, but he cannot argue with Sunny,

so he follows behind her and gets out.

Maybe Kevin’s words take effect. When they leave, everyone looks at Sunny curiously.

A little girl even runs over and asks, “Hello, you bought ... you hired him for how much?”

Upon hearing that, Sunny glances at Kevin with an unkind expression and then pinches her hand. “Not

much, I won’t tell you the specifics. You can’t afford it.”

The little girl is anxious. “I, I will give you all my shares. Can you give him to me?”

Sunny glances at Kevin, who is smiling at the side, and asks, “How much are your shares worth?”

The little girl seriously counts with her fingers and answers, “Tens of millions, I guess.”

Kevin notices that Sunny’s eyes start to shine when she hears the number, and a premonition touches

his heart.

Sure enough, the next second, he hears Sunny ask, “When can I sign the contract?”

Kevin has no choice but to interrupt the conversation, “Sorry, we still have things to do.”

As he speaks, he ignores Sunny’s struggle and forcefully drags her away,

“What are you doing?”

Sunny somewhat discontentedly shakes off his hand and blows the red spot from the pinch. It hurts.

Kevin glances at her and realizes that he gripped her too hard. He takes her hand and carefully rubs it.

At the same time, he asks her seriously, “I still want to ask you.”

Sunny curls her lips and says, “I was just kidding. Do you think I was really going to sell you? I’m not

your patron.”

Hearing that, Kevin smiles and says, “You can be my patron if you want.”

Sunny surrenders, “Come on, spare me. I still want a husband.”

Kevin’s eyes light up when he hears that. “Darling, if there aren’t too many people….”

Before he can finish speaking, Sunny retracts her hand. Kevin is puzzled. “What are you doing?”

Sunny pouts towards a hidden corner not far away. “There is a fan of yours. The one who wanted to

buy you.”

Kevin frowns. “I can’t have peace!”

As he speaks, he holds Sunny’s hand and returns to the hall.

After they leave, a head pokes out from behind a green plant, tears shining in its owner’s eyes. She

looks at the couple silently, and sniffs.

When Sunny and Kevin return to the hall, they happen to meet Kelly who is looking for them

everywhere.

“What’s wrong?”

Kelly pushes Sunny. “Old master will come on stage to speak. You have to be there.”

Sunny almost falls. “What about you?”

Kelly says, “You go up first. I’ll be right away.”

Sunny follows Kevin up, and as soon as she steps onto the stage, she hears quite a few cries from

below.

“It’s all your fault.”

Sunny helplessly whispers to Kevin.

Kevin takes the blame, “It’s my fault. If you have grudges, we can settle it when we go back.”

As he speaks, he reaches out and hugs Sunny’s waist. Sunny feels his hand hot, knowing that

something is wrong.

“It’s burning me. Get your hand off me!”

However, he becomes naughty and starts to cop a feel around her waist, intending to flirt with her.

His movements make Sunny feel strange, and she dodges but fails.

“Kevin, if you don’t move your hand, I’ll chop your knot off.”

Sunny grits her teeth and whispers to Kevin, while smiling at the crowd.

Fortunately, old master doesn’t notice anything. After everyone arrives, he begins his speech, Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

expressing his appreciation of life.

“Honey, are you comfortable?”

Kevin takes out a coat and puts it on Sunny’s trembling body. It turns out that she has lost his

coat.
