A Mysterious Man

Chapter 157: The Ring

"Let's go. I don't think there is something delicious on this floor. Let's go take a look upstairs."

Sunny has to follow him up the elevator. When she reaches the top floor, Kevin finds a hotpot

restaurant near the window with satisfaction.

"Darling, shall we pick this one?"

...

Sunny glances at the hotpot restaurant, assuming that this restaurant is somewhat incompatible with

today's itinerary.

However, her stomach grumbles violently now. Then, Sunny nods. "Let's choose this one. We can

order a two-flavor hot pot."

There aren't many people around. Perhaps because of the high consumption, there are even fewer

people here.

Kevin can tell how many waiters it has at a glance.

'It's a suitable place for me to carry out my plan.'

Kevin nods in satisfaction, and then leads Sunny to a private room near the window.

"Except a two-flavor hot pot, honey, what do you want?"

After Sunny orders much meat, she realizes that she forgets vegetables. "We still need some

vegetables. Meat is too rich."

"Do you want dessert?"

Sunny shakes her head. "No one comes to the hotpot restaurant for dessert."

Kevin plans to hide the ring in the dessert. Thus, he silently withdraws his hand towards the ring.

"Darling, what are we going to do later?"

Sunny looks at Kevin with anticipation and joy. Her spirits rise, and she wants to go shopping.

"Honey, have you forgotten that Macie is waiting for us at home?"

After hearing this, the expectation in Sunny's eyes disappears. She says dejectedly, "I forgot about

Macie. I'm not a good mother."

Hearing this, Kevin can't help but laugh. "Your criteria for being a good mother are so low."

Sunny returns, "Or else?"

...

Kevin smiles and touches Sunny's head. "You're cute."

Then Kevin takes out the phone, which he has switched off. "I'll tell Troy to take care of Macie for the

night. We'll have a good date today. I'll keep you company whatever you want to do later."

Sunny feels guilty. However, thinking of the freedom she will obtain, her excitement overshadows her

guilt.

"Before dinner is served, you have time to think about what you are going to do today."

Kevin says while beaming at her.

Kevin's look reminds Sunny of what he said on the Ferris wheel. "Wait and see."

Does he mean he will dote on her?

Staring at the handsome face, Sunny falls into a reverie.

However, Kevin looks somewhat unhappy after switching on the phone, for he receives a lot of text

messages. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Those text messages are all from Troy.

"Kevin, you even have the face to ask me to look after your child while you hang out. Am I your

nanny?"

"Kevin, don't turn off your phone. Explain to me!"

...

Kevin turns to the last one, which says, "For Macie's sake, I will help you. Don't flatter yourself."

Having read it, Kevin can't help but laugh. Then, he answers the message. "We won't come back

tonight. Thank you."

Troy, who is humming at home with his legs crossed, immediately jumps up when he receives it.

"Kevin, damn you!"

Kevin doesn't feel guilty at all. After sending the text message, he directly turns off the phone. Sunny

asks, "Are you done?"

Kevin nods. "Of course. I will never let you down."

Soon, the dishes are served.

At the sight of the meat, Sunny rubs her hands expectantly.

Just as she is about to enjoy it, Kevin stops her. "Take it easy. Go wash your hands first."

...

"Since when do you have a fetish about cleanliness?"

Sunny frowns as Kevin drags her to the bathroom.

After washing her hands, Sunny returns to her seat with some resentment. But she suddenly discovers

that there is a small box in front of her.

She is quite familiar with this kind of small velvet box. For some reason, her heartbeat suddenly

accelerates.

"Darling, what is this?"

She looks up at Kevin, who pretends to be calm opposite her. However, she is surprised that his ears

are a little red.

"Open it. How am I supposed to know it?"

Kevin is still acting stubbornly, so Sunny has to dismantle it herself.

When she finds out that it is a ring, she is somewhat a little excited.

"Kevin, is this for me?"

Kevin stretches out his hand and shows the one in his hand. "What do you think?"

Sunny touches the ring again and again, wanting to wear it on her hand. But she is expecting

something to happen.

"Kevin, can you help me?"

Hearing this, Kevin blushes. Even his ears turn red.

"Women are really troublesome...."

Although he complains, he walks over as he is asked. Then he pulls Sunny's hand and puts the ring on

her middle finger after a pause.

"It's not there.... It's here."

Sunny seriously asks him to put it on the ring finger.

"Is there any difference?"

"I hear that this finger is closest to human's heart, so we should wear the ring here...."

Kevin listens to her. After helping Sunny put on the ring, Kevin pulls out his ring on the middle finger.

"Then put it on for me."

They have married for a long time. Sunny repeatedly tells herself that there is nothing to be nervous

about, but somehow, her hands are shaking uncontrollably.

After Sunny successfully puts the ring on Kevin's finger, Kevin looks at Sunny's eyes and says

seriously, "Darling, I still owe you a wedding."

...

"It doesn't matter."

Sunny means it. She feels that as long as they are together, nothing else matters.

But Kevin does not think so. He decides to give Sunny a wedding and make her happy.

"Let's have dinner first. Don't think about anything else."

The meat on the table makes Sunny's mouth water.

Seeing her reaction, Kevin bursts into laughter.

"Alright, hurry up and enjoy it. I'll help you boil it."

Kevin sits down again. Then he picks up a pair of chopsticks specially used to boil the meat for Sunny.

"Have it first. It is cooked."

Since Kevin offers to help, Sunny begins to eat at ease.

As Sunny is eating, she looks at the shiny ring on her hand. She couldn't help but laugh while biting her

chopsticks.

"Stop laughing. Hurry up and enjoy the food. I should have given it to you earlier."

Kevin is boiling the food. At the sight of Sunny's happy look, he silently sighs. 'Sometimes, I'm stupid.'

Kevin finishes up with great difficulty, and he is full. Seeing Sunny still giggling at the ring, he knocks

her on the head.

"Earth to yourself? Let's go."

Sunny bites her chopsticks and looks at Kevin with smiles in her eyes. "Where are you going?"

...

"I'll take you home."

In terms of Sunny's happy look, Kevin wants to tease her. So, he calls the waiter and says, "We'd like

to pay the bill, and then please arrange a taxi for us."

The waiter leaves with Kevin's card. Then Sunny gets anxious. "Are you really going to take me home?

You told me that everything was settled."

Kevin pretends to frown and answers, "We have to go back. Troy doesn't agree. We can come out after

Macie falls asleep."

Hearing this, Sunny feels that she has no chance to hang out. Thus, she replies sadly, "Alright then,

let's go."

Then she picks up her bag, preparing to leave.

When she reaches the door, she feels someone is pulling her bag. She knows who does it without

looking back. "Kevin, stop messing around. Let's go home as soon as possible."

Kevin doesn't reply. He just pulls her bag silently.

Sunny has to turn around and reason with Kevin. Unexpectedly, she directly hits his chest.

"What are you doing? Why don't you talk?"

Sunny rubs her head and complains. "Let's go home!"

Kevin doesn't say anything. After a long time, Sunny hears a chuckle. When she looks up, she sees

Kevin grinning.

...

Sunny has never seen Kevin smile so happily before, so she is surprised. Meanwhile, she raves that

Kevin looks handsome even while grinning.

"Are you kidding me?"

After Kevin laughs for a long time, Sunny finally understands. Then she glares at Kevin.

"Sorry, honey. You're cute. I can't help it."

Sunny clenches her hands. "I really want to smash my fist on you...."

Suddenly, someone is knocking on the door. "Hello, sir. Here are your card and bill."

Upon seeing the stranger, Sunny restrains herself, and the smile on Kevin's face fades. He indifferently

takes the card and the receipt.

"I see. Let's go."

As he speaks, he walks out.

"Take care."

As the waiter bows, Sunny hurriedly replies, "Thank you." Then, she chases after Kevin.

"Why are you walking so fast? Slow down. I can't keep up with you."
