A Mysterious Man

The scenario that Troy sees when he comes back from the outside is that Kelvin is busy cooking in the kitchen, while Sunny and Macie are digging the chocolates out of the plate and savouring it every mouthful. The smell is surprisingly tempting and Troy couldn't help but swallow twice, he wants to eat it too.

When Macie sees that Troy has returned home, she puts down the spoon in her hand and runs towards her godfather like a living bird fresh out of a cage, jumping into Troy's arms.

"Godfather, you're back." Macie's sweet voice makes Troy want to kiss her face hard.

"Yes, godfather is back, do you miss godfather, see what delicious snakes godfather buys for you." Troy steadily catches her little body and begins to tease Macie.

Macie can't care much about his godfather's question, she slides down quickly and runs directly to the two big shopping bags Troy is holding. She can't wait to find out what kinds of snacks he buys for her.

Macie is so happy to see that there are half a bag full of snacks and sweets in both bags that she tries to take the bags from Troy's hands to her room, but sadly the bags are too heavy for this little precious thing to carry.

Macie is a bit unhappy and looks at Troy like a poor cat, "Godfather, can you help me carry these snacks to my room?" She even tries to act adorable which makes people hard to say no.

Troy looks at this little girl, he just runs out of way to resist her adorable request, and just does whatever she asks.

"Macie, you really are a little bastard. The moment you have snacks, then you toss away your godfather, right? I buy you so much snacks, don't you want to kiss me in return? I am so sad, my little girl likes her snacks more than her godfather, oh." As Troy says, he also acts to wipe his tears, pretending to be sad.

"Godfather, please don't cry, Macie will give you a big kiss, Macie likes godfather so much." Macie sees that her godfather is really sad and hurriedly comforts him.

Sunny sees them from the side and also laughs loudly. She is so joyous that how come her little girl could be so cute.

Kevin brings the last dish on the table with a serious face. Obviously, he witnesses everything that just happened. Of course what he cares more about is Macie's remark that she likes her godfather the most.

Kevin twitches his mouth, thinking, "My own daughter likes her godfather more than her own father? Is Troy really a better dad than I?"

No, this is definitely not the case, it must be the snacks that tempt his Macie. That's why Macie will say he is the best dad for fun.

This is the only thought that makes Kevin feel a little better. He turns to look at Troy, thinking he really can't let this man spend more time with his daughter.

Troy notices Kelvin's weird gaze that is full of jealousy and even hatred, which makes him goose bump. He also looks at Kelvin like a frightened bird, but whining sadly in his heart.

My bro, what did I do that offends you again?

Kevin gives him a look that implies "You know what you have done!" then he squats down and says to Macie with a serious look. "Baby, daddy will buy you more snacks and toys than your godfather buys for you, then you promise me that you will love daddy more than anyone else, okay?"

"Hahahaha, hahahaha..." Troy and Sunny don't expect Kevin even would act like a child and laugh so loudly that they even can't stop.

Kevin ignores their mocking and anxiously waits for Macie's answer.

"Yes, of course. Macie loves daddy more than anyone else." As she says, she gives Kevin a big kiss on the cheek.

Kevin doesn't mind the saliva Macie has left on his face, and when he hears what Macie has say, he brightens up immediately as if he has won the lottery.

No, he is happier than winning the lottery.

After looking at Troy's expression like he has seen a ghost, Kevin rolls his eyes at him. Humph! What are you looking at, you only know how to seduce my daughter with snacks and toys, luckily, I'm smart enough to see you through long ago, you a big wolf in sheep's clothing!

"It's enough, come over and eat, it won't be good if the food gets cold later." Sunny says to the two men.

How to arrange the seat is rather a problem for Kevin. The thing is, when they three are having a dinner, Kevin and Sunny are used to sit on one side and Macie sits on the other.

This time, there is one more Troy who is supposed to sit with Macie. Kevin looks at Troy, thinking he won't let this guy steal his daughter out of him anymore, so he would rather sit with his own daughter.

But Kelvin doesn't want Troy to sit with his wife either, in case he just holds his daughter tightly near him but loses his wife from Troy...

Then let Macie and Sunny sit together, and he and Troy sit on the other side... Kevin looks at Troy, hum, he really doesn't want to sit near him either.

What can I do now... Kevin is stuck but suddenly he comes out of an idea that can satisfies himself.

Kelvin just moves the chair that Sunny is sitting away a bit and then puts Macie's chair next to his, then three of them can sit on one side and Troy sit alone on the other side. Sunny "..."

Troy "..."

Despite of the dumbfounded looks of Sunny and Troy, Kelvin is quite enjoying himself now.

"Why are you all looking at me, just eat, are you not hungry?" As he says, Kelvin helps Sunny to put a piece of meat on her plate, and then he puts a piece of cilantro to Troy's plate.

Troy looks at the cilantro in his plate with disgust and stares at Kevin with hatred. You must have done it on purpose! You know what I hate most in my life is cilantro.

Kevin just ignores Troy and is busy helping his wife and his daughter to get foods on their plates. He is pretty much enjoy the meal today with his family.

Sunny just smiles and shakes her head. How come she didn't notice his husband could be so childish like this. But this childish man inside loves his family so much that she can not help but want to love this man more back.

After the meal, Troy is sent to clear up and do the dishes. Sunny at the beginning doesn't agree to let their guest do the dishes, but Mr. Quinn says to her, "The guy comes to our house every day to dine, what's the problem for him to do some dishes in return?" Troy is so angry that he almost jumps up to beat Kelvin.

"Honey, is this really appropriate, or should I go and brush the dishes by myself." Sunny still thinks that it's not decent to treat their guest like this, so she is going to walk towards the kitchen.

"Honey, it's fine, the reason I asks him to do the dishes is because I want him to do some exercises. It's good for him. Besides, you're carrying a baby, how can you brush the dishes, right?" Kevin babbles in a serious manner.

Troy is in the kitchen with a black face... Doing exercise is good for me? What a great excuse!

"Okay then..."

"Daddy, daddy, can you help Macie carry these snacks into Macie's room?" Macie tugs on Kevin's coat with one hand, but her eyes is drifting deliberately not to look at Sunny.

Sunny resists not to laugh for her daughter, and slowly lowers her body and takes Macie's little hand and says, "Baby, be a good girl, you can't eat so much snacks at once, let's put some of these snacks in mommy's room, okay?" "No, these snacks are all bought for Macie by godfather, Macie wants to eat them, Macie wants to eat them." Macie, who has always been an obedient good girl, become stubborn when it comes to snacks and refuses to give up. She is unwilling to listen to her mother.

"Mummy doesn't like Macie anymore, mummy doesn't want Macie anymore once she has a little brother in her tummy, I don't like mummy anymore!"

Saying that, she cries and runs back to her room.

Sunny doesn't expect that Macie will think like that just because she won't let her eat so much snacks.

Thinking the poor look of Macie, Sunny feels heartbreaking, so she goes to chase Macie.

"It's okay, you just go upstairs and have a good rest, I'll go check on Macie." Kevin hurriedly pulled Sunny back.

"Is it really alright?" Sunny is still a bit worried.

"It's fine, it's just a children's temper tantrums, Macie is a good child, don't worry. You go first, I'll go check on her." Kevin gives her a determined look. Then Sunny feels much better and slowly walks upstairs. As Kevin watches Sunny going upstairs, he comes to Macie's room.

"Little princess, what are you doing, can daddy come in?" Kevin knocks on the door and when he sees that Macie doesn't answer him, he pushes the door open and enters.

He sees that Macie's little body is covered by a blanket and she is huddled inside like an ostrich.

Seeing that it is her father, Macie lifts the blanket, looking at her father with two big watering red eyes. Kevin is so guilty that he hurriedly picks Macie up.

"There, there, no more crying, my baby girl, be a good girl." Kevin says as he gently pats his baby daughter's back.

"Daddy..." Macie aggressively arches her little body into Kevin's arms.

Finally, after about ten minutes, Macie stops crying. Kevin decides to use a roundabout tactic to convince Macie first.

"Baby, do you like the snacks that godfather bought for you?"

"Yes." Macie nods heavily.

"Then daddy will buy you lots of snacks every day from now on, okay?" Macie nods her head.

"Macie, why are you angry with mommy? Mommy is doing it for your own good, eating too much snacks will make you grow slower and also will rot your teeth, do you want those little worms eat your teeth?"

She immediately sinks her face in her hands after hearing this. She doesn't want a lot of worms in her mouth, and she doesn't want to never grow taller either!

"My girl, mummy loves you so much, mummy will be very sad if you are like this, does Macie want to make mummy sad?"

"Macie doesn't want to make mummy sad, Macie wants mummy to be happy forever." Macie says her words seriously.

"Our Macie is such a good girl, then can Macie listen to her mummy and won't eat too much snack every day, okay?" Macie nods heavily.

Troy doesn't know what else Kevin would want him to do, he doesn't want to do any dishes for him anymore, so he leaves the house once he finishes washing the dishes.

On the other hand, Sunny doesn't sleep well either, after all, how could a person sleep well with something on her mind?

What Kevin sees when he comes in is that Sunny is yawning and rubbing her temples with a bad look.

"Why are you still awake? Is everything okay? Why don't I take you for a full body check-up tomorrow?" Kevin says in a worrying tune as he rubs Sunny's temple to help her feel better.
