A Mysterious Man

"Well, where is Macie? Why didn't I see her?"

Troy shrugs, "What time is it? I guess she should have come downstairs to play with that person at this time."

Kevin asks after hearing that, "Which person?"

"Aidan downstairs. Oh, you don't know him. The neighbor who recently moved in has a son, his nickname is Aidan. Macie likes to play with him." After hearing that the person is a boy, Kevin's fatherhood is all aroused. He rolls up his sleeves, "Where is he? Take me to see him."

Troy looks at Kevin as if he is looking at a fool...

"Well, you can go and have a look. It's not a bad thing to know a little about him."

Seeing that Sunny is supporting him, Kevin raises his chin, "Let's go, take me to see him."

Sunny finds a place and sits down, "I won't go with you. I'm very tired recently, and I don't know what's wrong with me."

Hearing this, Troy comes over and approaches her, "What kind of tiredness do you feel?"

"Is there any difference?"

Troy scratches his scalp and says, "I am just wondering. By the way..."

He turns his gaze to Kevin, "When are you going to eliminate the poison on your body?"

Kevin almost forgets about the matter. When he suddenly hears Troy mentions it, he is stunned for a while, "I'll deal with it later. I'm not free recently." After speaking, he winks at Troy, "Let's go downstairs first."

When Troy mentions this, Sunny obviously also remembers the unsolved poison on Kevin's body. She frowns deeply with a worried look on her face. "Are you a fool?"

When Kevin and Troy walk out of the room together, Kevin immediately knocks Troy on the head, "My wife is pregnant, what are you talking about it in front of her?"

Troy is awakened by his hit. He rubs his head and says, "What should I do? I have already said this, and I can't fool her."

Kevin sighs, "Let's play it by ear. Let's first go and see the bastard who is seducing my daughter."

In order to make up for the mistake of spilling the beans, Troy pushes the elevator button very eagerly, "He is downstairs. When Macie first met that bastard, she actually hated him, but I don't know why she suddenly likes to play with him now." When Kevin hears this, he feels something is wrong. He frowns and thinks for a long time, but he doesn't come up with a reason. Instead, the sound of the elevator reminds them that they have arrived.

"It's just across from the elevator, and it's very close." Troy says as he takes the lead and knocks on the door.

"Is Macie here?"

Hearing the knock on the door, there is immediately movement inside the door. After Kevin hears the sound of footsteps, someone comes to open the door. It is a little boy.

"Who are you looking for?"

Kevin is carefully observing the boy in front of him. His skin looks pretty good and very white. Maybe he is in the period of changing teeth, so his front teeth are gone, and his speech is not very clear. Troy on the side squats down and stares at him, "Are you Zoe? We are Macie's fathers. We are looking for her to go home for dinner."

Perhaps Macie in the bedroom has heard the movements at the door, and she runs out barefoot. She is obviously surprised when she sees Kevin and Troy at the door.

"Dad, godfather, why are you here?"

After hearing that Macie seems to really know the two people in front of him, Zoe relaxes the vigilance on his face slightly.

"We're here to ask you to have dinner. Your mom has woken up and she wants to see you."

Macie curls her lips, then turns around and puts on her shoes, "Zoe, then I'll leave now."

While she is talking, she jumps on Kevin, then she waves her little hand and says goodbye to the boy named Zoe.

Zoe also can't help but smile, "Goodbye."

As a father, Kevin has a natural hostility towards the boys around Macie, and Zoe is no exception.

After being glared at by Kevin for several times, Zoe is inexplicably relieved to see that Kevin turns around and enters the elevator. After Zoe closes the door, a person walks out of the kitchen slowly, "Zoe, are they gone?"

Zoe looks up at him, but his eyes are filled with unprecedented indifference, then he hears his own voice that replies, "Yes, Dad."

Kevin hugs Macie and walks onto the elevator. He asks jealously, "Macie, why do you like playing with that guy named Zoe so much?"

Macie leans her whole body on Kevin, "Because if I don't play with him, no one will play with him. Moreover, his father always hits him, and he will be beaten less when I go to play with him."

This is the first time Kevin and Troy have heard the reason that Macie always runs downstairs.

Kevin is a little nervous and hugs Macie tightly, "Will his father hit him? No one seemed to be there when we went his home just now." Troy also looks at Macie nervously.

"His father said that he would make delicious food for us in the kitchen just now, so he didn't come out..."

Kevin and Troy look at each other. Not surprisingly, they see a hint of shock in each other's eyes.

"Macie, you can call him to play at godfather's home next time, you..."

Troy can't say the sentence "Don't go to their house", because he doesn't know how he will explain to Macie when she asks the reason.

On the contrary, Kevin glances at the elevator and says in a deep voice, "From now on, you are not allowed to go to their house without me or your godfather accompanying you. If you want to play with that person, you can ask him to come to our house." However, Macie becomes anxious as soon as she hears this, "No!"

But Kevin doesn't give her any more opportunities. Regarding this kind of thing, he feels it is necessary to prevent it in time. Obviously Troy holds the same view as him.

Before going back and entering the door, Kevin specially tells them, "Don't tell Sunny about this matter, ok?"

Kevin thinks he needs to investigate more to get the whole thing clear.

The other two both nod silently.

"Well... Let's go in."

When they come in, Baron has already returned. He is seriously studying new dishes in the kitchen. Sunny takes a stool and sits beside him as a guide. "You are back."

Seeing them come in, Sunny and Baron respond casually without being affected, and then they continue to study cooking.

"Try putting sesame oil first."

Kevin and Troy don't expect to hit a wall when they come back, so they both sit down on the sofa in frustration and open a bottle of wine.

"Wife ignores us, we can only entertain ourselves." Troy says, silently clinking glasses with Kevin, and then he hears a voice from behind, "Who is whose wife?"

Troy can only continue to take a sip of wine as if he hasn't heard it. Sunny on the side tries hard to restrain her urge to laugh.

"Well, you go over. I'll sit here for a while."

Sunny supports her sore waist, then sits down on the sofa, "Give me a glass of wine."

Kevin frowns, "Do you forget what the doctor told you?"

"What?"

"Pregnant women can't drink alcohol."

So Sunny can only look at the wine glass and swallows her saliva silently.

When the meal is ready, Sunny silently looks at her watch, it is already late. "Oh, I'm starving to death."

Kevin hands her chopsticks, "You can eat a little bit first."

Troy coughs deliberately next to them, "It's okay, I can assume I haven't seen it."

After hearing this, Sunny picks up the chopsticks urgently, quickly tastes the dishes, then she silently puts down the chopsticks.

"Why don't you continue to eat?"

Sunny whispers, "It's a bit salty..."

Hearing this, Kevin silently pours a cup of hot water.

When Baron comes out of the kitchen, everyone at the table holds a cup of hot water.

"What's wrong with you? Why do you drink water?"

Moran feels very strange, "Don't you know that drinking water during meals is bad for your stomach?"

Troy serves him a little dish silently, "Do you want to try it yourself?"

...

"Well, let's order delivery..."

When they are preparing to order delivery, they suddenly hear a knock on the door, "Is anyone home?"

Hearing the strange knock on the door, everyone in the room looks at each other in surprise. Troy raises his voice, "Who is it?"

No one answers.

"I'll open the door."

Baron gets up to open the door. Kevin hides behind the door, ready to strike at any time.

After opening the door, Baron looks at the strange man in front of him and is stunned.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

The strange man raises the bowl in his hand. "I'm your new neighbor. I've lived here for a long time, so it's reasonable that I should come to see you. I'm sorry I visit you late. " Baron's suspicion hasn't disappeared, but Troy stands up first, "I know who you are, will you come in and sit for a while?"

The man waves his hand, "It's too late today, so I won't bother you."

Baron doesn't retain him either, he nods to him and then closes the door, "Who is him?"

Sunny also asks curiously, "Why haven't I seen him?"

Kevin and Troy wink at each other and say tacitly, "He is the neighbor downstairs."

Sunny nods, "I always think he is a bit familiar... as if I have seen him somewhere."

Kevin thinks for a while, "Really? I don't know..." He doesn't even see the person's face because he was hiding behind the door just now.

"Well, maybe I am wrong."

Sunny waves, "Let's order delivery first."

The others nod, "Okay."

The four people don't take that person's visit seriously. Baron puts the food that the man has brought into the kitchen, and then continues to do his own thing. After eating, Sunny is so sleepy that she can't open her eyes. "

"Do you want to go back first or do you have other plans?" Kevin leans down to communicate with her in a soft voice, slowly shaking Sunny's shoulder. "Um... let's go home."

Sunny rubs her eyes, then turns to ask Macie, "Are you going back with mom?"

Macie bites the lollipop, "Mom, I want to stay here for a few more days, I want to play with godfather."

Sunny nods, then gets up and tells Troy, "Send her to school tomorrow."¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
