Chapter 111 Lying to Oneself
Sunny nods her head quickly, she wonders if Kelly knows that Ellison loves her since the first time he saw her, but if she knows, she would be over the top. Ellison looks at them, "So what about you, you have been through so much, are you settled now?"
Sunny looks at Kevin, and notices that he is also looking at her, even though it is really dark inside, but Sunny is still afraid that someone might see her blush. "Yes."
Sunny feels a sudden relieve when she hears Kevin say that, before that, she always thought that she might be thinking too much into it.
Ellison says to Kevin, "You are a grown-up now, you really gotta settle, so treat your woman right."
Kevin throws him a look that is full of dissatisfaction, "Of course I know that, you don't need to remind me."
"Tz." Ellison replies to that.
Just as the two of them are mocking each other, the diver slows down the speed, and turn to tell them, "Sir, we have arrived."
The driver is arranged by Ellison, so that is who the driver is talking to.
"Alright, you can go back and change the car, get rid of this one somewhere, we will be waiting for you to pick us."
But they wait for a long time, without seeing the driver come back to pick them up.
Ellison thinks for a second that maybe he told him something wrong, so he asks his assistant to give him a call.
No one picks up the phone, no matter how often he calls it, the only voice that they hear is the one of the machine.
Something is going on, and Ellison can feel it, something bad.
Kelly sees that on his face, and asks, "What's wrong?"
Ellison shakes his head and replies, "Nothing."
But the next second, he cannot lie to himself anymore, because the number they just called, the number that no one picked up, is calling him back. "Hello?" Ellison picks the call, about to ask the driver what is going on, when he realizes that it is a stranger's voice on the other end.
"Mister Quinn, are you looking for your driver?"
Fuck, Ellison thinks in his heart, then he fixes himself, and answers, "Who is this?"
"Haha, that is not important, but I do try to convince you not to wait for your driver anymore."
The person on the other line takes a look at the driver who is still bleeding, "He will never pick your call again."
Ellison's bad feeling grows even more, "What are you talking about?"
"That's all."
The other person is determined not to let Ellison know about his identity, he hasn't even asked him much before the line is cut. When Ellison calls the number again, it is not picked once again.
It drives Ellison so mad that he throws the phone on the ground.
Only then Kevin notices the anger burning in his brother's chest, so he gets closer to him, asking, "Ellison, what is wrong?" Ellison calms himself down, "I am alright, but I think we need to call the police, my driver is caught up in a situation."
Kevin can see that this is not ending yet, and feels upset about it.
"Do you know who it was?"
Is it the same person as behind everything that has been happening lately, or is it one of Ellison's enemies in his business?
Ellison shakes his head, "I don't know him either, but I don't think he is someone to get along with."
He cannot figure out who this person is.
Kelly is watching Ellison closely, considering her words carefully, "So, should we also be careful now?"
If that person has laid his eyes on the driver, it means, that he already knows too much, so...
Just as Kelly has said the words, everyone falls into silence.
"Leave this to me, Kelly, you need security whenever you leave the house, and if there is nothing major, just stay inside."
It is a special situation, so he cannot allow himself to consider too much, if it is possible, he will move their whole house here.
"What about you?"
"I... I need to contact my other people, you know, I haven't contacted them in so long, I need to find out if it was someone I know." "Okay."
"Can I do something to help?"
Sunny doesn't know why, but when she sees this happening around her, she has a feeling it involves her too.
If she doesn't do something, she might as well go crazy.
When Kevin hears her words, he gives her a concerned look, "This has nothing to do with you, stop overthinking."
Even though she knows that Kevin says it to comfort her, she still nods along, her head filled with memories about the things that happened after she came back.
It seems that ever since she is back, the things that are not to be talked about, suddenly are exposed, and out in the open.
Sunny wonders, if she can still convince herself that all this has nothing to do with her, she must be a heartless person.
"Do you have any ideas?" To find the guy behind all this.
Ellison shakes his head, "It doesn't have to be someone from my old gang, I used to have a lot of enemies, but maybe it's also someone who doesn't want me to settle down." When he says those words, his eyes rest on Kelly who is holding the baby, not missing the worries in her eyes.
Kevin also looks at his sister in law, then he looks at Sunny, "Come with me, I gotta tell you something." Then he pulls her into another room.
Sunny wonders, "What is it that you can't tell me outside?" That he has to pull her inside to talk about.
"Oh god," Kevin pokes her on the forehead, "Don't you feel like a fifth wheel?"
Sunny doesn't quite understand what he means, why would she be a fifth wheel?
But then she thinks a bit more about it and suddenly blushes.
"Good that you pulled me in here, otherwise it would have been embarrassing."
Kevin wraps his arms around Sunny's waist, "Ellison has something to talk to Kelly about, and I do have something for you."
