A Mysterious Man

Chapter 129 I’m Almost Done

Sunny keeps questioning herself about that as her pace quickens, “I should run now.” When she is

finally at his office, Sunny slams the door shut behind her and let out a nervous breath.

Kevin, you bastard!

This bastard whom she is referring to is currently approaching her leisurely.

“Sunny, open the door. Why did you run so fast?” Kevin knocks on the door while Sunny leans her

weight on the door from the inside.

“Don’t come in now, I need to be alone for now!” Based on her reply, Kevin knows that this little

‘creature’ is reeling from embarrassment at the moment. He is feeling slightly regrettable about losing

control just now. He simply couldn’t stand her cuteness anymore.

“My wife, we are already married for a long time, so why do you have to act so shyly in front of me?” He

implores.

Sunny shouts at him in response, “You shut up!” A period of silence fills the air after she said that. But

immediately, she is worried that she has overreacted, so she opens the door after contemplating for a

while.

But when the door is flung open, Sunny finds that she has been wrong about her thoughts, “My wife~”

When Kevin sees that the door has opened, he immediately glues himself on her, knowing that his

plans have succeeded.

Sunny backs off with a disdainful expression, “Speak properly.”

“Please let me in, I need to get to my work.”

Sunny realizes that she has been impeding his path after his reminder, so she quickly gives way, “Go

ahead.”

Kevin then marches forward with a sneaky smile on his face as he nonchalantly pinches Sunny’s waist.

“You!” Sunny is shocked yet embarrassed at the same time as she wants to bore a hole in his face with

her deadly stares.

“My wife, you can sit there and play with your phone. I’ll be done in no time.” Sunny sees that he has

submitted to her, so she averts her strained eyes away from him and sits down on the sofa.

Kevin on the other hand starts to tinker with the documents on his desk.

She doesn’t find playing with her phone an entertaining ordeal, so she is done using her phone very

soon.

After scrolling her social media for a while, she trains her eyes on Kevin.

She looked at him carefully, she can understand the reason Kevin is so popular and attractive amongst

the girls.

Back then, when Kevin removed the mask concealing his face, she admitted that she was blown away

by his handsomeness. It is just that as their relationship deepens, she starts to divert her attention from

his appearance.

Therefore, she plans to take this opportunity to enjoy Kevin’s mesmerizing look thoroughly from the

sides since he is busy handling work-related matters currently.

She doesn’t know how much time has elapsed when Kevin’s voice suddenly breaks the silence, “My

wife, if you’re going to stare at me any longer, as your husband, I might need to collect some

compensation from you.”

She is caught. Sunny’s first response is moving away her gaze instantly when she heard his words.

“Why do you think that I’m staring at you? How can you be so narcissistic?” She retorts.

“Alright, please be patient for a little while, I’m almost done.”

Sunny supports her chin with her arm with her gaze still on Kevin, but she feels herself almost sinking

into a slumber on the sofa.

Finally, she manages to see Kevin putting down the pen in his hand.

“Are you finally done?” Sunny straightens up while beaming at Kevin who is now rotating his wrists.

“Almost. You are hungry, right?” He replies.

Sunny shakes her head and says, “I’m not really hungry, I’m just getting more anxious as time goes by.

I thought your documents are finally decreasing substantially but Hogan immediately piles them up

again.”

Kevin blurts out in laughter when he hears that, “I can see that you’re yawning non-stop whenever I

checked on you.”

Sunny blushes when she realizes that he has been watching her, “I didn’t have a good sleep last night.

You don’t know the whole story!”

Kevin nods obediently, “Yes, it’s my fault that my wife couldn’t enjoy a good night’s sleep.”

Sunny predicts that the direction of their conversation is going to reach an undesirable topic, so she

immediately stands up and announces, “I’m really hungry now, let’s go eat something for now. Then,

we’ll look for Lewis.”

Kevin sees through her intention to evade certain topics so he can’t help bursting out into laughter. At

the same time, Hogan is coming in but he freezes when he sees Kevin laughing like this.

Kevin instantly regains his usual composure when he sees his subordinates coming into the office. He

puts on a serious expression as he asks him, “What’s the matter?”

Hogan snaps back to reality after hearing his question, and he continues his original intention to report

to him politely, “I have already sent away that woman, and she wasn’t particularly emotional when she

left just now. She just asked me to pass you some word…” He suddenly stammers when he recalls

Sunny’s presence here.

Kevin is dumbfounded so he probes further, “What are you talking about? Please make it clear to me.”

Then, Hogan continues, “She warned Miss Ellen to be careful and claimed that she would get her

revenge.”

Kevin raises his eyebrows while squishing a paper in his palm, “Huh.” He then replies coldly, “Then let

her do it. If I can’t even protect my own woman, then…” He stops short here but the others are able to

read between the lines.

Hogan peeks at Sunny next to them carefully and he finally exhales when he sees her nodding at him,

“President, I’ll take my leave for now.”

Kevin says to Sunny, “Come here.” Sunny looks at Kevin who is now exuding an impressive aura as if

he is declaring his status to everyone nearby. She pouts unhappily, “What’s wrong?”

Kevin replies, “Just come here when I ask you to.”

Sunny rolls her eyes at him but she obediently follows suit. Just as she is next to Kevin, she is pulled

by him abruptly and her butts are now sitting on his thighs. This is a precarious position, so Sunny

struggles out of fear. “Kevin, what are you doing? Can you let go of me?” Sunny calls ou while trying to

break free from his grasp on her waist.

“Stop fumbling.” Kevin suddenly warns her in a hoarse voice, “I can’t guarantee what would happen

next if you keep on fidgeting on my thighs.”

Sunny immediately ceases her struggle when he hears him. She doesn’t forget to persuade him to stop

his advance, “Kevin, let’s talk nicely. We shouldn’t be moving around too much here.”

“Sunny, you don’t need to be afraid. You won’t get hurt as long as I’m here.” He replies.

Sunny only comes to a realization as to why Kevin has been acting weirdly, “Are you worried that I will

get bullied by that person?”

Kevin remains silent as he buries his face in her neck. After some time, he speaks up again, “I can’t

bear losing you once again anymore.”

Although this is very cringing, Sunny still feels touched when she hears this sentence, “Kevin…”

“Don’t talk, let me hold you for a while.”

Sunny obeys his command as she holds her posture still while residing in his embrace without

struggling further.

“From now on, you can’t simply run off to anywhere. You must always be in my field of vision.”

“Alright.”

“You can’t run off with any guy too, like Robin.”

“Alright.”

“Give me a little more time, just a little more.”

Sunny can’t foresee that Kevin is becoming sentimental at the moment, so she lets him hold her for a Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

long while before Kevin finally releases her from his embrace.

“Do you feel better?” Sunny turns around and faces Kevin. She almost falls asleep while being held by

him just now.

“I feel much better, my wife. Let’s go.” Kevin stands up and says, “Let’s get something to eat, I’m

starving now.”

Kevin has now removed his impressive aura as he scratches his head shyly, “I feel too good while

holding you just now that I even forgot about the time.” Sunny stares at him resentfully as she grumbles

about her starvation.

“Let’s go now, leave everything to Hogan. We should go now.” As he says that, Kevin holds Sunny’s

hand as they are about to depart when Hogan bumps into them at the door.

Hogan asks his president who seems to be going off somewhere, “President, have you done going

through the documents?”

Kevin nods in response, “Everything’s on my desk, you can go through them carefully.”

Hogan somewhat believes his words as he replies, “I got it, sir.”

Sunny who is hiding behind Kevin almost blurt out laughing when she sees their interaction. Kevin

affirms for the last time, “Then I’ll go now. Be serious when you’re working.”

Hogan mulls over something briefly before saying, “President, it’s almost time… for that. If you are free,

please go check it out.” Kevin contemplates for a while after being reminded by Hogan and confirms

that the time is near. He nods, “I will deal with it myself. See you around.”

When they’re out of the office, Sunny notices that Kevin is having a grim and ugly expression on his

face. She asks him, “Kevin, are you alright?”

Kevin seems to be immersed in his own thoughts, oblivious to Sunny’s words. He only responds slowly

after Sunny repeats her question again, “Oh, I’m alright.” Then, he holds her hand while saying, “I’m

really alright, you don’t need to worry. What do you want to eat now?”

Sunny shoots a glance at him while trying to bring up something but in the end she decides against it,

“Oh, I’m okay with anything.”

Kevin knows that Sunny will start to over-think again, seeing that she had seen his melancholic face.

Therefore, after they settle down at a restaurant, he takes the initiative to explain, “Hogan was talking

about my parent’s death anniversary. At the same time, it is my grandfather’s birthday as well. The past

few years, I have been finding some excuses to avoid meeting them. My elder brother always goes in

my place. But it seems like I can’t avoid it anymore this year…”

“Why can’t you avoid going there? Wait, you have a grandfather…” She replies. Kevin nods, “I never

tell anybody about this, so it is natural nobody knows of this fact. I have been evading them as much as

I could in the past, but my grandfather has dished out the ultimatum this year. He has ordered my elder

brother to bring me there this year.”

Sunny processes this new information about his grandfather’s birthday as well as his parent’s death

anniversary and she is able to discern something, “If you don’t know how to face them alone, why not

let me follow you?”

Sunny has just said this casually to boost his confidence but to her surprise, Kevin’s eyes lit up, “Do

you really want to come with me?”

…

“I think it will be no problem for that…”

Her words have injected some strength into his deepest core as the melancholic expression on his face

gradually recedes.

After they finish their meal, Kevin brings along Sunny as they visit the Snail Shell company. When they

are at the entrance, she can’t believe her eyes, “Why has things changed so much?”

The signboard perched on top of the entrance is now a shell of its past. It looks like it is going to fall

down at any moment. Inside the building, the tables and chairs were all changed at some point in the

past. They are now wooden stools and chairs.
