A Mysterious Man

Totally concentrated on listening and watching the delicious meals on table, everyone else does not notice what the second point is.

"Well, let's start." Sunny Ellen sees their reaction and says. In fact, she feels a little bit tired and pinches the middle between eyebrows, then being the first one to have some food. "Oh, Little Sunny, you made so yummy food!" Troy Viktor says to Sunny with sincerity.

But this nickname makes Kevin unhappy. He says, "Excuse me? What name did you call?"

"I...I call her Little Sunny. Any other nicknames?" Troy looks confused and feels falsely commented by Kevin.

"Call her true name please!" Kevin says.

...Troy answered, "Hi, we are best friends."

"Stop! Just call me Sunny and please enjoy your meal."

Sunny believes she is a nursery teacher who is helping kids having some food.

However, these "kids" would not like to listen to her but talk back, "I know."

After the dinner, Sunny asks Troy to stay for a while.

"Do you remember the voice calling you yesterday?" Sunny asks.

It occurs to Troy that the call does not leave any good impression on him.

"I think her voice was adjusted on the phone, not her real voice. What she only said is why I am still alive?" Troy says.

"I can imagine how furious she was when she was talking like that. But I don't know what was following after that."

Troy's reply is similar to what he told Kevin before. Now Kevin is also here to have a nod.

Sunny continues, "We are sure, it was also Bella Hawkins calling you yesterday. Now we have to make her confess it or accumulate the evidences about her deed. Then we can sue her."

It is not Sunny who should deal with those issues. But from her point of view, Bella has truly brought her a lot of sufferings even much more than she knows.

Therefore, she decides to accumulate all evidences about Bella's doing to her by herself.

Just this moment, Kevin gets a call. He does not answer it immediately. With watching on the phone, he looks excited as well a little scared.

A few seconds later, he answered the call with hesitation.

"Hello. Ellison..."

Ellison Quinn, his elder half-brother, is calling him.

"Kevin. How are things going? Do you usually go to see Jonathan for detox?"

In fact, just from his call, Kevin realizes he has not been there for some time.

"I am alright. Take it easy, brother. I see Jonathan every day." He answers.

The answer comes from Ellison's phone speaker. He watches Jonathan by side who gives him a shrug, being gloomy.

"Do you? What are you doing of late?"

"Ellison, do you know my wife and daughter come back?" Kevin flaunts it with joy.

It causes Ellison feel a little annoyed. He says, "I know it."

So, is this the reason that you do not have detox treatment?

Ellison asks, "Where are you now? I need to see you."

Kevin glances at Sunny and replies, "At Troy's home. What's up?"

"Stay there. I am going soon."

"Where is Kelly? Has she not met Sunny for long time?"

"See. She will go with me."

Listening to this, Kevin holds up the call with smile.

He says to those watching him, "It's Ellison. He has been back to China and is coming to talk with me."

Troy asks with full of expectation, "He is coming? Right?"

Kevin has a look at Baron who feels disturbed but nods slowly, "Yes."

Troy is more excited about it and keeps talking, "Is he on the way?"

Kevin reminds him, "Yes. Now please calm down. Look at you!"

"I see. I see." Troy answers.

Finally, Baron cannot help asking Troy, "Are you so excited?"

Right now, Troy tries to cool himself down and turns to look normal, "No. I just do admire him. Nothing else."

The more one tries to hide, the more it is exposed!

Everyone here knows exactly what it is about Troy.

Then Macie Ellen asks Kevin, "Your brother is the same good looking as you?"

Kevin feels happy for being given credit for that. Just the moment, Sunny says, "That one looks better than this one."

Kevin thinks he is wrongly commented by Sunny and feels not happy about it.

When there is someone knocking at the door, they have a look at each other. All of them do not expect Ellison to come here so soon.

"One moment please." Kevin runs to open the door but surprised by Jonathan's appearance. He does not know Jonathan would come together with Ellison.

He told the lie to Ellison about meeting Jonathan frequently and does not know whether Jonathan tells the truth to Ellison.

"Hi Ellison, why do you so rush?"

It is likely Ellison has something important and urgent to talk with him in such a rush.

But Kevin sees the baby boy cuddled by his sister-in-law Kelly behind his brother. He says, "Hello, little boy, both of us are so good looking."

...

Sunny hears someone talking and comes out from the inside room. Looking outside, she sees Kelly holding a baby boy, full of tears.

Kelly says, "Sunny! See you again! I am so happy to see you are here with me!"

She lets his husband hold their boy and embraces Sunny; she is extremely thrilled this moment and cannot help crying.

"You are so silly! Why don't tell me where you are? You know I was really sad for you before!" she goes on speaking.

Sunny also cries out with great delight; it is so lucky to have such a friend keeping her in mind for the years.

Just standing beside the door, Sunny and Kelly are overjoyed to see each other and chatting, but being interrupted by a voice, "Why are you standing here? Let's come inside to talk." Others are staring at Ellison with anger at his interruption.

Ellison asks, "I am not correct?"

Sunny is also annoyed and says, "only you know what to do?"

She wipes her tears. Now she dares to talk with Ellison like this might because her bestie has already become his wife.

Kevin says, "Ok. Let's come in." Then he holds Sunny with one arm and holds Jonathan with another, asking him quietly, "Did Ellison go to meet you before coming here?" Jonathan answered in the same lower voice, "Yes."

"So, he knows it?" Kevin refers to that he has not got the treatment for long time.

Jonathan glances at Ellison in front of them and says, "I think so."

Kevin feels kind of desperate and puts his head on Sunny' shoulder. He says with miserable look, "Sweetie, I will have trouble."

Sunny gets rid of him and says, "Please leave me alone."

It's Kevin's turn to understand the feeling that Macie Ellen also has before. Macie is such a girl that was always ignored by the family.

"How can you guys treat me like this?" Kevin says.

Then Kevin closes the door and remembers to ask his brother, "Ellison, what is your urgency to come back?"

Ellison looks at the door and would like to confirm, "Close it perfect?"

Kevin nods and says, "Sure."

Ellison starts, "You know, there was a dead woman found years ago. Said it was Bella. But nothing was followed up since we all know what happened." Everyone here definitely understands what happened.

Ellison goes on, "However, when we looked into it later, we confirmed it is Bella's body."

After listening to Ellison's explanation, everyone has a feeling of fright. It is so incredible! Someone asks, "What...what do you mean by that?"

Ellison talks seriously, "I mean, the real Bella has been dead for years. From the coroner's investigation, she died many years ago but body was found years after dead."

...

Truth and details about this story make everyone here uneasy. The one keeps asking, "You said, this Bella is not the real Bella?" Ellison agrees and finishes telling.

"Wow, it's too horrible. After she died, another one uses her name to pretend to live on? Who has the idea?" Troy tells the truth.

Even though Kelly does not know exactly what they are talking about, she gets to understand it is of great importance.

They start to discuss the solution.

"So how could we disclose that?"

"I heard you visited Hawkins family today?"

"Sure. Andrei Hawkins is still as well perceptive as before."

"Or we tell him directly now Bella is not his real daughter?"

Kevin frowns and says, "Does it work? Looks like Andrei Hawkins does not care about this daughter."

"Of course not." Ellison has a look at Kevin and answers his question. Actually, he believes the question is too easy to ask.

"What if Andrei Hawkins is told that PY Gangster gets back with the head Bella Hawkins? He fears the gangster a lot." "Bella is their head? nobody over her?"

Ellison seems not sure about the question, "I don't know yet. But we could know if Bella fails, Andrei Hawkins has to ask someone to replace her or come on by himself." Certainly, it is reasonable and everyone here agrees with him.

"Well. Let's start tomorrow." Ellison makes an arrangement.

"Ellison, why are you so knowledgeable?" Kevin still has some questions.

Ellison has done all he can do and says "I still have one problem not clear. Why are you so stupid?"

Now Kevin knows his words very well. Angry though he is, he has to go to Sunny to take comfort. Sunny caresses his hair and says, "It's ok. I neither get the point."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
