A Mysterious Man

“Take them out and read.”

Kevin is a little depressed. Why doesn’t his surprise work on Sunny?

“Wait. Let me see. Change of legal person?”

Sunny is somewhat frightened when she sees the document’s letterhead, so she quickly turns to the important part.

“Party A, Kevin Quinn, unconditionally gives the recently acquired Warner Group to Party B, Sunny Ellen?”

She looks up and says, “Kevin, what did you do?”

Kevin clears out his ears and says, “I’m not deaf yet. Keep your voice down.”

Sunny looks at Kevin, and then at the document in her hands, feeling something unusual.

The next second, she rolls the paper into a ball and throws it at Kevin’s head.

Me?

Kevin takes a hit for no obvious reason, and the car almost tilts.

“What are you doing?”

“Don’t do this again....” Sunny softens her tone, “Other than my mother, no one has treated me so well.”

Seeing her like that, he spares a hand to touch her head and says, “Be good. I will care for you on behalf of your mother.”

Kevin would never forget what that woman said when he was most vulnerable and wanted to choose death to escape. It were her words that gave him clarity and courage to live.

However, he didn’t expect that the person who had inspired him would choose to end her life by lying on the track.

Kevin looks at Sunny with a complicated expression. If she knows how her mother really died, she would probably....

“We’re here, finally. Are you going to fetch Macie or me?”

Sunny leans back on the passenger seat listlessly, saying, “You go.”

Kevin helplessly looks at Sunny and gets out of the car by himself. “Okay. Wait for me here.”

Sunny watches as Kevin leaves the car and enters the kindergarten. He greets the headmaster and holds Macie’s hand.

Sunny sighs.

She looks at them and feels that this is how it is going to be.

The disturbing emotions from earlier slowly disappear.

Sunny looks up at the clouds. When she is young, her favorite thing is to hold her mother’s hand and describe the shapes of the clouds in the sky.

Although she no longer enjoys doing that, she still finds surprises by looking at them. For example, this one seems to be smiling at her.

“What are you looking up at?”

Kevin opens the back door of the car and places Macie on the children’s seat. When he looks up, he sees Sunny counting the clouds.

“The clouds.”
