A Mysterious Man

"Kevin, my belly hasn't popped yet. Are you really going to confine me to bed then?"

Kevin is busy taking a small bowl to put the dumplings out to cool them down. He answers her nonsense without looking back, "Yeah,"

...

Sunny takes the bowl with a sad face, and takes a bite slowly, "Oh, it has bamboo shoots in it, delicious."

Hearing her comment, Kevin can't help but laughs, "Eat more then, since it's delicious."

He officially starts to imitate the way she talks.

"Kevin, I want to watch TV, where did you put the remote control?"

Kevin puts down his bowl and helps her find the remote control, Sunny looks at him, and feels some emotions running in her heart. "Alright, don't bother. Let's eat."

Sunny suddenly feels a little distressed out of no reason. She always feels that Kevin is lowering himself when he's with her.

"Kevin, I will treat you well."

Kevin pauses, "Did you do me wrong?"

...

"How can you be so frustrating!"

Sunny strokes her belly and decides to change the topic, "What do you think we should name our child?"

Kevin thinks for a while, "Name it whatever you like."

"What about Robert Quinn? I am really into Robert Downey recently."

Kevin gets tense right away, "No, no, you can only like me!"

Sunny pats his head as she hears his words, "Kid, read some books."

And she yawns, "Kevin, I'm so sleepy..."

Seeing her like this, Kevin doesn't care about the child's name anymore. He gently picks her up in his arms, "Do you want to sleep now, or take a shower first?" Sunny thinks for a while, "I'm so tired today and don't want to take a bath."

Kevin nods, "Alright, I'll take you to the bed. Honey, give me a kiss."

Sunny stares at him, purses and says, "Honey..."

Kevin is immediately turned on. Only if she were not pregnant, he would throw her on the bed right away and be on top of her.

Sunny sees something familiar in his eyes and she wakes up instantly, "Honey, calm down."

Kevin stuns for seconds and holds her, smiling like a fool, "Baby, you are so adorable."

Sunny instinctively feels that it doesn't seem like a compliment, and she blushes silently.

"Well well, no kidding, sleep now and save some energy to deal with that guy."

Sunny mumbles, "That guy has a name..."

As she speaks, she doesn't know why she is so sleepy. It's still early, but she can barely open her eyes. Kevin puts her on the bed and finds that she is already asleep. "Alas..."

He kisses her on the forehead tenderly. When he straightens up, he gets serious immediately.

He takes out his phone and makes a call.

"It's me."

After the call with the mysterious guy, he lowers his head and gently kisses Sunny's forehead. Then he gets up and walks away resolutely.

Sunny struggles to open her eyes when she hears the door is closed. But soon enough, she falls asleep again.

While Kevin goes downstairs quickly and sees the guy he just called there.

"I've always wanted to talk to you long ago."

Standing in the cold wind, Kevin silently lights a cigarette. He pulls up the collar of his coat and says to the person in front of him. "For what?"

"I knew that you have feelings for Butler, and I want to bring you together, will you believe it?"

Standing in front of Kevin, Dean's secret is suddenly exposed and he can't hold up and nearly drops the cigarette in his hand.

"Hey, do you couple find it interesting? I just kidnapped you for once and it was not my initial attempt. You've knocked me unconscious, isn't that enough?"

Dean is so anxious that he almost jumps up. Whoever it is, if his deeply hidden secret is exposed again and again by others, he will be anxious like this.

Kevin draws on his cigarette, slowly blows out a smoke ring, and then says to Dean, "Calm down, I know my wife is looking for you. Has anyone seen you when you come out?" Dean says cautiously, "What do you want to know?"

"I just want to make sure that you did not attract Butler's attention."

""Huh, I'm too smart for that."

Kevin seems to be sizing him up. After a long while, he doesn't know what to say in response, so he can only say numbly, "All right."

"Well, straight to the point. it's so cold tonight, I can't figure out why I would wait for you here."

Dean impatiently kicks a stone with his toe, and says to Kevin.

"I can help you get Butler, would you like to cooperate with me?"

Dean still wants to pretend, "I told you not to think that way..."

Hearing this, Kevin turns around immediately and is ready to leave without any hesitation.

Dean can do nothing but grabs him, "Fine, fine, how will you help me?"

"I'll tell you the details tomorrow. Leave now."

Dean loosens his hand holding his sleeve, and says in a low voice, "Why will you help me?"

"I'm a man. I won't let my pregnant wife get bothered by such a thing. I'm not helping you for your sake. Don't overthink it."

Kevin pats where Dean has touched him and whispers, "Be careful on your way back. Don't get caught."

Then Dean just watches the man who called him here to enjoy the cold wind at midnight walk away relentlessly. "At least help me call a uber!"

Kevin returns from outside and brought in the chill. So as soon as he stands beside the bed, Sunny is woken up.

"You are back." Sunny rubs her eyes in a daze and says, "Oh, why am I saying that you're back..."

At this time, she gets a notice of WeChat message on her phone. Sunny throws a glance at it and finds it is from Dean, "Okay."

"I couldn't fall asleep, so I went out to the balcony to have a smoke."

Kevin explains, and lowers himself to pat on Sunny's back. He whispers, "Get back to sleep, you have a lot to do tomorrow morning."

Under Kevin's reassurance, Sunny slowly closes her eyes, and falls peacefully into a dream.

Seeing that she is sleeping tight, Kevin gets up to take a bath.

However, on the next day, Sunny shows signs of early pregnancy.

She is sitting still with a knife and fork in her hand, ready to have breakfast.

But when she sees the breakfast on the table, she feels a sour taste coming up from her stomach, which makes her rush to the toilet and begins to retch.

"Honey, are you okay?"

Seeing her retching, Kevin is taken aback, and bounces up from his seat, quickly pours a cup of warm water and hands it over to her, "How come you suddenly get morning sickness, honey, did you catch a cold?" Sunny is vomiting hard. She can't answer his constant questions, so she waves her hand to show that she doesn't know either.

"Okay, ok, take a sip of warm water. I will accompany you to the hospital today. Don't pregnant women need a regular checkup..."

Kevin pats Sunny on the back, and starts talking to himself and makes arrangements.

When he calls Hogan, naive Hogan thinks that the boss is coming to work today. When he is about to make way for him happily, he hears Kevin's order, "Hogan, help me register an appointment at the best hospital, obstetrical." After hearing his order, naive Hogan thinks something happened to Kevin, "Boss, what did you do to that girl...?"

"Fuck you, my wife needs to do the check-up. She just came to the company last time. How could you forget it so soon?"

Hogan quickly apologizes and makes an appointment for him right away.

"Boss, I registered for a specialist."

When they hang up, Sunny is almost done vomiting. She wipes her mouth with a wet towel, and says with little strength, "I'm fine, you can go to the company, if you don't, you should be worried that your kingdom would be taken." Kevin smiles and shakes his head, "Hogan is there, so I can rest assured."

He stops for a while and continues, "You are the most important thing to me now, understand?"

Sunny wants to say something but she doesn't say it eventually, and then she nods, "Let's go. Let's eat."

Kevin is a little worried, "Do you have appetite?"

"It's okay. It's no good if I don't eat anything." That's what she says, but when Kevin sees Sunny forcing herself to eat and vomits again, he can't bear it.

"Forget it, stop eating." He snatches the bowl in Sunny's hand. "Let's go and see what the doctor will say."

Sunny also feels a little strange, "When I was pregnant with Macie, my morning sickness was not so bad. How about I ask Troy if there was anything unusual at that time?"

Kevin is silent, and finally he picks up the phone, "Let me ask."

Troy Viktor is sleeping comfortably. Suddenly a phone call comes in, and it seems like that it won't stop ringing until he answers it.

"Oh god, who is that..." Troy whimpers, and eventually answers the phone, "What's wrong!"

Kevin hears the voice on the other end of the phone that seems so annoyed that it might actually come out and eat him. He looks at the screen of the phone suspiciously, and then continues to speak after he makes sure that he has made the right call. "What time is it now? How can you still in bed? I'm Kevin."

Troy is awake as soon as he hears this voice, "What happened?"

"Sunny is having severe morning sickness. Was she also like this when she was pregnant with Macie?"

Troy recalls for a while, "No, she seemed to be pretty good when she was pregnant with Macie. She just ate everything that was served to her, like an animal, you know."

...Kevin is confused, "Then why is her morning sickness so severe this time?"

Troy gets silent, "You'd better take her to the hospital. I can't tell. Maybe she has got some kind of disease from it."

After hearing this, Kevin looks back at Sunny, unable to tell his emotions, but it makes her feel chilly, "Why are you looking at me like that."

Then Mr. Quinn quietly takes back his gaze, "Let's go, I let Hogan register. Let's find out about your morning sickness, and also take a prenatal examination."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
