A Mysterious Man

In fact, the vegetable in the market is fresher. But it's almost evening now, and the vegetable in the market are all left over by others. So, Sunny goes to the supermarket.

Just as she is picking up things, she meets Lettie, who was dismissed before.

When Lettie first approaches, Sunny hasn't noticed and thinks that it is a stranger. So, she moves aside.

However, this stranger has gone too far. She will go wherever she hides.

"Hello..."

Just as she looks up and is about to speak, she sees a somewhat familiar face, which stops Sunny from going on.

Lettie looks at her calmly, "I'm waiting for you."

...

Sunny feels scared when she hears these words.

"What's the matter?"

Sunny moves aside so that she will not block the way. Because Lettie seems to be ready to have a long talk with her. "Nothing. I'm here to thank you."

What?

For a moment, Sunny isn't sure if there is something wrong with Lettie's brain.

"Thanks to you, I let go of my obsession with Kevin and found someone who truly loves me."

"Well. Then, congratulations?"

"No need. I'll invite you to attend my wedding banquet."

Until Lettie leaves, Sunny still does not know what she wants. She feels at a loss.

However, Sunny looks at her phone. Time is up. It's better for her to buy the vegetables first.

By the time she returns home, Kevin has already taken Macie home. They are playing hide-and-seek on the sofa.

"Kevin, will Ellison and the others come over?"

Sunny looks at the things she has bought and is not sure.

"Yes. Ellison said he wanted to come over and apologized to me. I told him there was no need since it had been so long. Then he said he would come and have a drink with me." Hearing this, Sunny heaves a sigh of relief, "Alright. Then I'll go to the kitchen to prepare the food first."

Kevin gives Macie a book, "Go play by yourself first. Dad will help your mom." Macie nods. Then, Kevin comes into the kitchen.

"Honey, do you know that the most worthwhile thing in my life is to meet you?"

At that time, Sunny is busy processing the crabs. As she suddenly hears these sincere words, she pauses for a moment before being nipped by the crab.

""Me too."

Sunny looks at the wound. Seeing that it is fine, she continues to process the crabs.

Kevin finishes these words with enthusiasm. But he doesn't see any reaction from Sunny. So, he feels a little depressed and walks to Sunny's side. Then, he sees the wound on Sunny's hand with a little blood oozing out.

...

"How did you get hurt? I'll get the Band-Aid."

Kevin says half, and hurries out to get the band aid.

As he dresses Sunny's wound, the doorbell rings.

"Macie, go to open the door."

Kevin orders without turning his head. He becomes even more cautious with his movements, "Let me do it."

It is Kelly and Ellison. They come in with a bottle of wine in hand.

"Macie, where are your parents?"

When Kelly sees Macie, she loves her so much that she hands her son to Ellison and then picks up Macie. "Let me see if you gain some weight or not"

Macie is amused by her and giggles. Then, she says, "Mom and dad are in the kitchen."

Kelly sniggers and signals Macie to keep quiet. Then, they quietly peek at the kitchen door.

However, Sunny seems to have eyes behind her back. Just as they approach, she says, "Macie, don't peek at the door. Go get your godmother a glass of water." Macie and Kelly exchange glances and naughtily stick out their tongues.

"Alright, Mom."

Kevin puts the crab in the pot. Then, he wipes his hands and goes out to greet Ellison.

"Ellison, you're here."

When the brothers meet again, Ellison has thought that they will be awkward. But when he sees Kevin rolling up his sleeves and busily working in kitchen, he suddenly feels relieved. "Is there anything I can help?"

Kevin says curiously, "Ellison, can you also cook?"

Ellison pounds his arm angrily, "You brat. Who cooked those dishes for you in the past?"

Ellison wasn't always able to get food. If he couldn't, he would go to an old man in the vegetable market to get some leftover leaves and cook them for Kevin.

At that time, Ellison had asked for many people's help.

In this way, he raised Kevin.

Thinking about the past, Kevin's eyes are a little wet.

"Ellison, let bygones be bygones. The present is the most important, don't you think so?"

Ellison is moved. It seems that he is also stimulated by the past. He pats Kevin's shoulder and says, "Yes."

Sunny and Kelly are squatting in the kitchen. They don't come out until they feel that the estrangement between the two brothers has almost been broken down. "I don't want to cook today. Kelly, what about you?" Kelly shakes her head, "I don't want to either."

Kevin and Ellison glance at each other and smile, "We will do it."

After enjoying a rare meal which she does not cook herself, Sunny is very happy. Because she actually does not like to be a faded old woman in a kitchen filled with the smell of fumes.

Although the dishes Kevin cooked are very unsatisfactory, thanks to Ellison's good cooking, they can enjoy the meal.

After dinner, they sit on the sofa and begin to chat.

Kevin raises his glass and looks at Ellison. "Ellison, Kelly, thanks to your care. I propose a toast to all of you. I hope you will be fine all the time."

After speaking, he directly finishes a glass of wine in one gulp.

On the side, Sunny looks at Kevin, who is drinking like drinking water, and helplessly shakes her head.

"Ellison, Kelly, thanks to your care. Kevin should have caused you a lot of trouble during my absence. Thank you."

Kelly looks at them who are suddenly sentimental. She does not know why they are like this.

"Are you two alright?"

But soon, she realizes that the one who is most abnormal is her husband. There may be something wrong with Ellison and he drinks so much.

"Hey guys, this is red wine, not drinks. Please restrain yourself, OK?"

Kelly can't stand it anymore and takes away the wine cup in their hands.

When she sees the wine in Sunny's glass, Kelly draws back her hand and does not take it away.

"Kelly, it's fine. Let them drink it. They very rarely can drink like this."

Sunny does not mind and waves, signaling Kelly to pour them less wine.

Kelly understands and does as Sunny said.

Kevin and Ellison drink together before putting down their wine glasses.

"Ellison, my wife won't let me drink too much."

Kevin says to Ellison while hiccupping.

Ellison says, "It's fine. My wife also won't let me drink too much."

Seeing them, Sunny and Kelly can't help but laugh.

"What are your plans next?"

"I'll deal with Lora first. Then, I will think about something else. I'm working in the hospital now. Do you want to come back and work with me?"

Kelly looks at her son, who is only a few months old, and says, "Let's talk about it later. Your godson is still not mature enough. I don't trust Ellison to take care of him." Hearing these words, Sunny bursts into laughter.

But it attracts the attention of Kevin, an alcoholic, "Honey, what are you laughing at...?"

As he speaks, he pounces forward.

Sunny helps him up, and then wipes his forehead. "Nothing. Go clean yourself up. There is a smell of alcohol."

Kevin shakes his head and he seems to have drunk.

So, he struggles to stand up and staggers towards the bathroom.

Kelly also holds her son in one hand and pulls Ellison to stand up with the other. "It's getting late. We will leave first. Good night."

After saying that, she pulls Ellison and prepares to leave.

"I'll see you off. Macie, take care of your father."

After telling Macie, Sunny follows Kelly downstairs and says, "Who's going to drive later?"

Kelly points at Ellison, "What do you think?"

Sunny can't hold back any longer and laughs.

"Goodbye. Let's go." Kelly skillfully ties her son to the child seat, and then pushes Ellison into the car and fastens his seat belt. "Alright, call me when you get home." Sunny stands downstairs and watches them drive away. Then, she goes back. When she returns upstairs, Kevin is lying on the sofa with his eyes closed.

"Macie, what are you doing?"

Macie stays in her room and Sunny does not know what she is doing. After hearing Sunny's voice, she turns around and comes out. "Mom, I'm preparing a birthday present for 'Little Sister'. Auntie Michelle invited me to Little Sister's birthday party that day."

They are even going to hold a birthday party for the children. Sunny guesses that they may be settling here.

"Alright. Then you do it first. When you are done, Mom will process it for you."

After Sunny settles Macie down, she comes back to make a cup of lemon honey tea for Kevin.

Kevin drinks it without even looking at it. It is sweet and tastes well.

The next second, he suddenly opens his eyes and says, "Honey, let's have another one."

Sunny has her own thoughts on this.

"We can have another child. But we have to ask Macie's opinion first. Many families have a lot of contradictions after giving birth to a second child because the first child doesn't like it."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
