A Mysterious Man

Chapter 88 Discovered

When the young girl sees the handsome man, she can’t help but look straight at him and blurts out,

“You are so handsome!”

Kevin can’t help but laugh, “You really are a naughty little girl, did you get hurt?”

She immediately stands up, bounces up and down and uses actions to tell the handsome man in front

of her that she is ok.

“As long as you’re ok then that’s all that matters but don’t go running off on your own. I still have

something I need to do so I must leave now. This is my business card; if something happens then you

can give me a call, ok?”

The little girl obediently steps aside while holding the business card in her hand, and then waves at him

and says, "Goodbye Kevin."

Kevin nods his head at her and then drives off.

The little girl murmurs to herself, “Mom, I just saw dad.”

At this moment there is a voice suddenly behind her, “Macie Ellen, why did you run off!”

Macie turns around and glances at the person who has appeared behind her, her shoulders stiffen,

“Baron, I made a mistake.”

The person who has come over is Baron. He looks at the license plate number of the car that just left

but doesn’t say anything, instead he uses his hand to stroke Macie’s head, “Don’t worry, I just didn’t

keep a close enough eye on you, let’s go now.”

Macie is still a child and after she is soothed by Baron the rain quickly turns to sunshine. She

obediently takes his hand and says, “Have mum and dad come back yet?”

“They are on the airplane, what’s wrong, do you miss them?” There is some menace in his voice and it

seems if she nods her head to this question then he will suddenly turn hostile towards her.

However Macie is a very clever child, therefore in her hand she tightly grips Baron’s fingers, “With you

here, then I don’t miss them.”

“What do you want to eat for lunch?”

“KFC!”

“No!”

“McDonalds!”

“Keep dreaming!”

“Pizza Hut!”

“You might as well save your breath!”

“Then, how about you make some food?”

“Sure, let’s go home.”

Macie’s face crumples after she hears this, she really don’t want to eat Baron’s food.

Baron lowers his head and notices her distorted expression, “Is there something wrong?”

“No, I’m just hungry, let’s go home now.”

Baron thinks about the license plate number of the car he just saw, “Did you encounter a rather strange

person just now?”

Macie carefully thinks back, that handsome man can’t be a strange person because he is her real

father. Therefore she shakes her head and says, “I didn’t see anyone.”

“Alright, just be more careful from now on. No one is like you who is just four years old but loves to trip

and fall!”

“My mother says this is because when I was inside her stomach I didn’t receive enough nutrients!”

Baron rolls his eyes after hearing this, “Yes, lady Sunny is right.”

Macie turns her face to the side, Baron is so annoying!

However going back to Kevin, after he had seen that young girl he has a strong feeling growing inside

of him. This type of feeling is called regret.

He suddenly slams the brakes of the car and stops in front of a cemetery.

The guard of the cemetery recognises him as soon as he sees him, every year he comes around this

time. So he goes over and nods his head at Kevin.

“Has someone just been here?”

“Mr. Ellison and his wife have just left.”

Kevin nods his head and then enters.

After he gets to the place that he already knows so well, the first thing he notices is a bunch of wild

lilies in front of the tombstone.

It seems it was Kelly who placed these flowers here.

Kevin crouches down and cleans up all the weeds and then sits down, “I haven’t come here in so long

now.”

“I’ve tried hard to keep myself busy because I thought this would help me miss you a little less;

however I soon realised that this is just not possible.”

“Sometimes I’m not willing to come here, perhaps because I don’t want to face the reality. Otherwise I

can just tell myself that you are still alive somewhere else in the world living a good life.”

“Today I met a young girl, it’s normal that this would make me think about our child. Would you say that

if our child was still here, then she would already have grown up by now?”

Kevin is sitting alone at the cemetery, talking endlessly about many things while facing Sunny’s picture.

When he finishes speaking he can’t help but cry, “Please come back, I’m begging you…”

But only his surroundings cater to him, just a gust of cold wind.

After Baron had brought Macie home and when they finished eating, he then takes her outside again.

“Baron, where are we going?”

“Don’t you miss your mum and dad? We are going to get them now.”

At this moment the sky is already turning dark. Because he has a small child sitting in the back,

therefore he drives a little slower than usual.

It was because of this that his car and Kevin’s car that was driving back happened to have a face-to-

face, which makes them both look at each other blankly.

Baron then sees the green traffic light in front of him and quickly presses down the car pedal and

accelerates away.

However Kevin, who has just calmed down after seeing him thought about the person he just saw.

Kevin knows that he has seen this guy before, it’s Troy’s friend.

Why is he here, could it be that if he is still alive, then perhaps this means that Sunny is also…

As he thinks about his, the movement of his hands are so fast that he turns around and directly races

through the traffic lights and drives on ahead amongst the sound of cars beeping their horns.

It was not easy for Kevin to catch up to Baron’s car because if he drives too quickly then he will risk

being discovered.

Baron is not feeling good; Baron turns the car around, takes out his phone and calls Troy who has just

landed. “I have a big problem, I was discovered by Kevin. You should both go home; I’m going to make

a detour to lead him away.”

Troy curses at him on the phone, “How were you discovered by him, how could you be so stupid!

Baron, when I get back I’ll deal with you.”

After he hangs up the phone, Troy says to the person next to him, “That idiot Baron was seen by Kevin

and is now being followed by him. Should we go home?”

This person nods their head, “Ok, I haven’t gone back in such a long time. I now just want to go home

and sleep with my Macie , and then go to work tomorrow morning.”

As this person speaks Troy looks down on them, “I remember in the past you didn’t enjoy your job that

much.”

“This can only mean that you didn’t know me very well before.”

“Alright Sunny, I guess I still don’t know you that well. Let’s go now and get some rest.”

Sunny nods and then lowers her head to conceal the sadness in her eyes. When she raises her head

again she looks impervious to her passions and desires, "Let's go, you call a car."

Troy angrily says, “Why should I!” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“Because I have no one to look after but you do, so let’s go.”

Troy has no other choice but to obediently call a car.

Once they get inside the car, Troy answers Baron’s phone call again, “Where are you, I’ve lost the guy

so I can come get you both now?”

“We are already in a car so you can just go directly home.”

At this moment the sound of a soft voice can be heard through the phone, “Troy you are so aggressive,

unlike mum who is gentle.”

Sunny who was called gentle by Macie chuckles out loud and says softly to Macie, “Are you being a

good girl at home, were you doing as you were told by Baron?”

Macie says, “Yes I did as I was told, it was just the food he makes…”

She isn’t finished speaking when Baron interrupts her, “Ok, enough, I’ll see you at home.”

After the phone hangs up the two people in the car burst out laughing, “This fool, does he think we

don’t know that his cooking skills are bad? I worry that Macie is skinnier than she was a few days ago.”

“Hahaha, when we get back we shall see for ourselves.”

When they arrive back home, the first person they see isn’t Baron or Macie, however not knowing how

long he has been standing there is Kevin.

As soon as Troy gets out of the car, he is flustered and wants to return to the car, but he had already

been seen.

“Troy!”

Kevin’s words seemed to have been squeezed out through his teeth full of anger.

Troy cannot help but take a step back, “If you have something to say then say it.”

“Where is my wife!”

Troy knows that Sunny has not yet prepared to see Kevin again, so therefore he turns around and

pretends to take out luggage from the car and then says to the driver, “Please can you drive around for

a while and then come back here later.” Then Troy shouts, “Driver can you please open the car trunk, I

want to get my luggage out.”

The driver does as he is told and then opens the car trunk to let Troy take out his luggage.

Kevin watches his every move from not far away, sees him walking over with his luggage and then

grabs his collar, “Tell me everything right now.”

Troy motions for him to let go first, "You need to let me go first before I can explain, how can I talk when

you are strangling me like this?”

Kevin lets go of Troy and says, “You need to explain everything to me.”

“She’s already…”

Troy glances from the corner of his eye at Sunny sitting in the car and is now being driven away and

then continues to speak, “She’s gone now.”

After Kevin hears this it was as if all his strength has been drained, "Really, she’s gone?"

Troy nods his head, “Yes, why would I lie to you.”

“I’m such a fool.”

Kevin suddenly looks up and laughs, "I always held onto a little bit of hope that she was still alive. Troy,

you were the one who took her away, why did you not take better responsibility for her? Why are you

still alive, but she is dead?"

Troy knows that he has misunderstood, but there was nothing to explain at the moment, so he simply

lowers his head and says sorry, just to keep the charade going for a little longer.

“Sorry? Troy, do you know the difference between you and a murderer?”

Troy has no time to provide an explanation when a clear voice is heard next to him, “Troy, what’s wrong

with my father?”

Kevin reacts to this and begins to speak to the small child, “Who are you, do you know me?”

Macie looks at her father who was fine during the day but now here in the evening he seems to look a

little crazy so she steps back a little scared.

Baron then comes and says, “She is called Macie, and she is not who you think she is.”

Kevin’s last hope is shattered, and he lowers his head in frustration, "Oh, yes, I shouldn't have had any

hope for this."

Troy looks at his former friend becoming depressed like he had never seen before. He cannot bear it

anymore and so when he was about to step forward to tell him the truth, he sees that Baron secretly

shakes his head at him.

As a result Troy is forced to stop these thoughts and says, "Kevin, keep looking forward.”
