Chapter 131: It’s just that He was...
Sunny shakes her head. “This is a secret. I can’t tell you.”
Jonathan steps forward and says, “I’ve told her what to do, and you should just listen to her. It will take
about a month for a course of treatment. When you run out of the medicines, come and get it.”
Sunny asks curiously, “Jonathan, does someone in your family sell Chinese medicines?”
Jonathan says craftily, “There are many things you don’t know. That’s it. I have to go now.”
Kevin looks at Jonathan and says awkwardly, “Aren’t you having dinner with us?”
“I’ve got something else to do. Maybe another day.”
Then he waves his hand and leaves in the car.
“What a mysterious man.” Sunny can’t help but sigh as she watches Jonathan leave.
“Hey.” Kevin pretends to cough. He tries to remind his wife who has forgotten her husband. “What
about me?”
Sunny feels a little strange. “What about you?”
Kevin gets very dissatisfied that his wife could not get it. He’s so upset that he turns around and goes
upstairs without looking back.
Sunny is left alone and feels very puzzled. ‘Did I say something wrong?’
After Kevin goes upstairs, he goes to Troy’s house and knocked on the door. “Hello? It’s Kevin. I’m
here to pick up Macie.”
The door is opened immediately and incredibly fast. It’s Baron.
“You’re so quick.” Kevin is shocked by the speed at which Baron opens the door.
Baron says, “Come in.” His expression is very strange and hard to describe.
“What happened?” Kevin quickly gets it. He doesn’t know what’s going on inside the house before
going in because of the good soundproofing. Now he understands.
Macie and Troy are singing. But the song is not that pleasant. Kevin now knows why Baron is so happy
to see him.
“Brother, you sacrificed a lot.” Kevin pats Baron on the shoulder and knocks on the door to ask Macie
out. “Mom is home. Let’s go back.”
When Macie hears that Sunny has returned home and her daddy is knocking on the door, she throws
down the microphone and says, “Uncle Troy, you can sing by yourself. I have to go now.”
Troy is reluctant to part with his goddaughter. “Can’t you stay with me a little longer?”
Before Macie replies, Kevin outside can’t help but ask, “Troy, don’t you know how bad you are at
singing?”
Hearing this, Macie asks curiously, “Dad, what about me?”
Kevin thinks of Macie’s devil-like song and forces out a smile. “You’re better than your godfather.” Only
a bit.
However, Macie is very happy at hearing the praise. She makes a face at Troy and obediently follows
Kevin home.
At home, Sunny is cooking rice. Seeing Kevin’s upset face, she asks, “What happened?”
“Darling, are you singing out of tune?”
Sunny doesn’t understand why he asks this, “No, why?”
“Macie...” Kevin glances at Macie beside him and whispers, “She sings just like Troy.”
Hearing this, Sunny can’t help but frown. She has also been tortured by Troy’s demonic voice.
“Perhaps it’s because she cried a lot when she was a kid, and Troy sang to her?”
Hearing this, Kevin says angrily, “What’s wrong with him? He could do other things. Why did he choose
to sing?”
Sunny smiles and tries to comfort him. “Anyway, it was quite effective. Once he sang, Macie would be
quiet.”
...
“What’s for dinner?”
Kevin chooses to change the topic. He’s afraid that if he continued, he would want to strangle himself
to death. Why didn’t he do anything to stop Troy back then?
“Do you want to have braised pork? I can put some quail eggs in it. It’ll taste good.”
Kevin says, “Do you need my help?”
Sunny seriously thinks for a moment. “Yes.”
Kevin says, “What can I do for you, my darling?”
“Get out of the kitchen. Don’t mess about here.”
As she speaks, Sunny puts on a serious face, like a hen protecting her kids.
Before Kevin can react, he’s pushed out by Sunny. “You don’t like me here?”
“That’s right. Look at your clumsy hands. Don’t mess up here.”
Kevin gets angry. What happens to his wife?
After driving Kevin out, Sunny takes out the Chinese medicine bag that Jonathan gave her. There is
“For Day” on one and “For Night” on the other. She takes out a pot and begins to brew the medicine.
Then she begins to prepare dinner with all the foods she bought at the supermarket.
Macie is having snacks in the living room. Kevin has nothing to do, so he walks over and says, “Honey,
what are you eating?”
Macie is concentrating on watching Peppa Pig and replies, “Chocolate. Do you want to have some?”
Kevin glances at the chocolate that has turned out of shape after she eats. “Just eat it yourself. I’m not
hungry.”
Macie nods and continues to focus on the TV.
Kevin is ignored by his daughter and driven out of the kitchen by his wife. He feels very sad now, so he
says to himself, “What status do I have in this family?”
Then he smells Chinese medicine from the kitchen. ‘What’s Sunny doing?’
Kevin gets curious again. He slowly walks to the kitchen and pokes his head out to look inside. He sees
that Sunny is busy with the dishes in the pot, while checking the timing of the traditional Chinese
medicine. She is such a perfect wife. Kevin loves her more seeing her busy in the kitchen.
Sunny happens to turn around and finds Kevin at the door, so she glares at him.
“I...” In an instant, Kevin’s mind goes blank, as if he was caught in peeking at a girl when he was
young.
“Come in if you want to see it so much.” Sunny doesn’t mind. She waves her hand at him. “But you are
not allowed to ask any questions.”
Kevin pursed his lips. “I’m not curious about what you’re doing.” But in fact he can’t help looking at the
pot.
“Here, have a try.” Sunny picks up the dishes in the pot. “Is it good?”
Kevin obediently lowers his head and eats the food on her chopsticks. Then he says, “Yes, very good.”
Hearing this, Sunny says, “Then you can take it out. You can do it, right?”
Kevin obediently takes out a plate and puts the dishes on it. However, he feel that Sunny is treating him
like a child.
“Wait a moment. Have your medicine first.” The dishes and the medicine are ready, so Sunny asks
Kevin to take the medicine first.
“Can I not have...?”
“What do you think?”
This is the first time Kevin take this medicine. He can’t help but feel gross when he smells it, let alone
drink it.
Sunny knows how he feels when she sees him frown. So she takes out a candy from her pocket.
“Look, there’s a reward for having the medicine.”
Kevin looks at her, as if he has thought of something. “Really?”
“Yes.”
After Kevin drinks all the medicine, he hugs Sunny. “Then I want the reward now.” He kisses her so that
Sunny could taste the bitterness in his mouth. In the end, Sunny eats the candy.
“You rogue!” As Sunny wipes her mouth, she looks at Kevin with her accusing eyes and says, “Go
away. Let’s have dinner!”
Kevin smiles like a mouse that has stolen food.
When Macie hears that, she hurriedly puts down the chocolate and walks over. “Mom, can we have
dinner now?”
Sunny can’t help but laugh out when she sees Macie’s small face gets dirty with the chocolate. “Yes.
But let Dad wash your face first.”
Kevin obediently washes Macie’s face while recalling Sunny’s expression after the kiss.
“Daddy, why are you laughing?” Macie looks at Kevin and thinks that he’s laughing at her. So she looks
a little unhappy.
“I’m thinking that you’re so beautiful, just like your mother.” When Kevin says this, he realizes that he
hasn’t looked at Macie carefully for a while. This little girl seems to have grown up. She is more and
more looking like he mother.
“Dad, I wish I could have a brother.” Macie looks at Kevin and says, “Then I am like Mom, and my
brother can be like you. And you will never be alone.”
Children tell what they think. Hearing Macie’s words, Kevin laughs out loud. However, he also hopes
that he and Sunny could have another kid. “But we need to ask your mother for her opinion, do you
understand?”
Macie nods, “Yes.”
Kevin can’t help wondering why Macie knows so many things that she shouldn’t understood at this
age?
“Are you ready?” Sunny has been waiting for a while at the dining table. She does not expect it takes
them so long to wash Macie’s face, so she reminds them.
“Yes! Coming!”
Seeing Kevin and Macie having such a good time, Sunny remembers Jonathan’s words. Kevin might Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
have been hurt when he was young. So she pretends to tell her story inadvertently. “Hey, Macie always
reminds me of what happened in my childhood.”
Kevin replies, “What?”
“When my mother was alive, I was also like a princess. However, after Lora came, I was like a
Cinderella.” She holds her chin and says, “Fortunately, I met you.”
Hearing Sunny talking about her childhood, he can’t help thinking of his own.
It’s just that he was...
