A Mysterious Man

Chapter 100 What are You Thinking?

“What are you thinking?”

“I’m thinking what kind of person Andrei is…”

“Him?” Kevin groans and says, “Wait until you meet him then you will see what a wolf in sheep’s

clothing looks like.”

“Seriously?”

Sunny has never heard someone use this kind of metaphor before and is unable to react so instead

follows Kevin into the car in a daze.

“He looks harmless and wears a pair of glasses, however is a truly harmless person really able to sit as

the head of the Hawkins family for so long and not have been swallowed up by the other family

members.”

Hearing about the other branches of the Hawkins’s family, Sunny suddenly sparks an interest in this,

“Tell me more, is the Hawkins family a large family?”

“Their family is indeed growing in numbers, just like our families did from before. This is because each

branch of the family has their own bloodline; however Andrei is rather unfortunate in that he only has

two daughters.””

Sunny replies rather disapprovingly, “What’s wrong with having daughters, why do you talk about them

as being a bad thing?”

Kevin helplessly looks at Sunny, “What are you thinking? I just meant that he has two daughters and

therefore has no one who can inherit his position in the family.”

“Really? So could it be they now need a son to be the heir of the family?”

“Yes, I heard that previously Andrei adopted a son from a relative. I don’t know if this is true or not but

when the time comes we shall see for ourselves.”

Sunny nods her head and then looks outside the window, she is starting to feel a little tired and thinks

she really did wake up too early this morning.

Kevin narrows his eyes at her and says, “If you are tired then sleep some more, it is still early. Andrei’s

home is in the outskirts so is a little far away.”

Sunny grumbles dissatisfiedly, "Do you rich people all like to buy houses in the suburbs?"

Kevin sneers when he hears this and says, “Me? The estate I have I inherited, but if I had the choice

then I wouldn’t buy one.”

“Really…?” Kevin turns on the air conditioning in the car; the warmth in October in the morning is able

to make people feel quite tired and hazy.

Therefore Sunny slowly closes her eyes in the warm fast-moving car.

After Kevin sees her sleeping he quietly stops the car and takes out a small blanket from the back of

the car and then puts it over Sunny.

Seeing that he didn’t disturb her sleep he continues to drive.

Sunny does not know how long she was sleeping for, but when she finally opens her eyes she sees the

sun is shining in the sky.

She uses her hand to block the sunlight and then asks Kevin who is sitting next to her, “What time is

it?”

“Oh, you are awake? It’s 10:30 now.”

“How long have I been sleeping? Why didn’t you wake me up?”

“Seeing you sleep so peacefully there was no way I could dare to disturb you.”

…

“Are we at the Hawkins’s family home yet?”

Sunny glances at the building in front of her and changes the subject wittily.

"Yes, this one..." Kevin gestures roughly with his hands, "Is all the Hawkins’s family property.”

“Having money really is a wonderful thing.”

“Come on, get out the car.”

Seeing her awake now, Kevin doesn’t be so polite with her anymore and makes her quickly get out the

car.

Then the two of them go to the gate of the Hawkins’s house together and ring the doorbell.

Not long after appears an old man who seems to be a housekeeper.

“Hello, who are you looking for?”

Kevin clears his throat and then appears to act as a completely different person, “Kasper, it’s me,

Kevin.”

There is no laughter in his voice, just a serious and sincere tone.

Sunny takes a look at Kevin and feels he is like a stranger the way he is being now.

The person who was called Kasper after hearing the visitor is Kevin, stands still and sizes Kevin up and

down for a short while. Sunny is impatient however Kevin seems to not mind. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

“Oh, Kevin, it really is you. When did you start not wearing a mask?”

“Kasper, I haven’t been wearing one for a long time now. How have you been recently?”

“I may be old but I am still just as healthy and robust as before. Wait for me and I will open the gate for

you.”

Kevin smiles and nods his head.

Sunny is unable to say what she feels about this man, however from the moment she arrived until now

he never once looked her way.

Am I really so transparent?

She cannot help but quietly ask herself this, however she quickly puts this thought to rest.

Because Kasper finally turns his attention towards her.

“Is this Jessie Reyes?”

Jessie? Sunny and Kevin quickly share a look at each other, isn’t she Sunny’s mother?

Kevin laughs and shakes his head, “Kasper, this is Jessie’s daughter, Sunny.”

After Kasper hears she is not Jessie, his expression suddenly withers down, “Oh yes I almost forgot

that Jessie has already…”

He suddenly pauses mid-sentence and then raises his head to look at Sunny, “However, you really do

look very similar to her.”

“So you have met my mother before?”

“Yes, she used to come here very often.”

Came here often? She came to the Hawkins’s residence?

Sunny cannot understand what kind of relation her mother had with the Hawkins’s family.

“However that was all in the past and now only I am able to remember these things. Both of you come

on in, who are you looking for again?”

“We are here to see Andrei, but we don’t know if he is here or not?”

“The master is at home today, so sit down here for a while and wait.”

After he says this and settles them both down, he then disappears.

Sunny looks at the back of him and quietly asks Kevin, “Where did he go?”

“He went to find Andrei; he’s just a mysterious man.”

“How is it possible that he more mysterious than you?”

Sunny suddenly remembers the moment they had just met; at that time she could only use the phone

to contact him.

“Trust me, he is much more mysterious than I am, you will soon see.”

Sure enough what Kevin said was correct, how long would it take for Kasper to find Andrei? It has been

more than 10 minutes now and there is still not sign of them.

“We’re not going to be stood up are we?”

Sunny suddenly feels a little restless, if Andrei doesn’t meet with them then what will they do.

“That won’t happen. Just sit here patiently, this man just likes to keep people waiting for as long as

possible.”

Sunny feels what he said is reasonable; however she suddenly thinks of something and feels unhappy,

“Did you and Bella meet with him before?”

“What are you thinking about? Bella and I were nothing so why would we go and meet with the head of

the family?”

Although Sunny knows that he is telling the truth, however she still feels a little uncomfortable about it

and therefore replies with an unhappy sound.

Then at this moment Kasper returns and says, “Sorry to make you all wait so long, the master was just

taking a bath and then getting dressed, therefore it took a long time. But now he’s ready, so if you could

now both please come with me.”

Taking a bath… Sunny’s mouth twitches; she has never met a man that pays so much attention to his

personal hygiene before.

Following Kevin, Sunny looks around at her surroundings and feels the estate is filled with enchanting

decorations and feels the scenery of the house is extremely picturesque.

This house is even built near the mountains surrounded by water.

Having seen the impressiveness of the Hawkins family’s residence before, Kevin’s small villa in the

western suburbs can really only be described as a small house.

“What are you thinking about?” Kevin turns around and notices a look of discontent in Sunny’s eyes

and suddenly feels unhappy.

“Nothing, I just feel that if I was living here then my life would certainly be better.”

Kevin feels he has just heard a joke and narrows his eyes and asks, “Are you sure about that?”

Sunny is still thinking about what problems there would be with this life and suddenly thinks about the

relationship between the people within this family and immediately can’t think of anything.

“I’m joking.”

Kasper who is leading the way seems to not be so interested in what they are discussing which makes

Sunny even more curious about him.

“Does he care about what talk about?”

Kevin looks at Kasper and nods his head.

After Sunny notices that Kevin nods his head to confirm this she is so frightened that she quickly

covers her mouth. She was just speaking nonsense but it seems to have been a mistake.

“What are you afraid of? We are talking about ourselves, not speaking anything bad.”

Kevin narrows his eyes at her, “Why are being such a coward?”

Sunny pushes him, “Who’s being a coward? I’m just afraid that if I say the wrong thing that when the

time comes there will be consequences and before I know it I’ll be dead!”

This time Kasper after hearing what she said turns around with a smile, “Miss, don’t think so much, the

master doesn’t mind for these childish words.”

Sunny sighs a breath of relief as she hears that he will not take offense to what she said, however

hearing her being referred to as childish, her heart sinks. Why after so long is she still seen as a child in

their eyes?

Andrei’s study seems to be a little far, even after walking so long they still haven’t arrived. However on

their journey they bump into someone.

After this person sees Kasper they stop walking and nod their head slightly at him, “Kasper, where are

you taking them to?”

Kasper is also very respectful and courteous to this person and says, “Hello Sir, I am taking these two

guests to meet with the master.”

Sunny and Kevin who are behind Kasper secretly measure up this person who was called Sir, could it

be that this is…

While they still haven’t fully understood who this person is yet, the conversation is already finished. She

doesn’t know if she got the wrong impression or not. Before this person walks away, Sunny feels that

the person takes many glances at her.

“Don’t think too much about it.”

She pats her head vigorously a few times to stop her thinking these wild thoughts.

“Don’t hit your head; you were never that bright in the first place.” Kevin says while smiling,

successfully winding Sunny up.

“Shut up.” Sunny narrows her eyes at Kevin, she wants to say something else but her mind is drawn

back to the person that just left. She doesn’t know why she feels she has encountered him before

somewhere.

“Hello? Are you still here? What’s wrong? What did you just say?”

Sunny looks at Kevin a little helplessly thinking that she has neglected something really important.

Kevin helplessly looks at her, he is about to say something else when he hears Kasper’s voice in front

of them, “Mr Quinn and Miss Ellen, we have arrived.”

Hearing this Sunny’s line of vision turns towards the place Kasper has led them to. Where they are is a

small garden and causes Sunny to be unable to believe this is the place they would meet Andrei,

“Here?”

Kasper raises himself slightly and says, “Yes, Miss Ellen, this is where you need to be. So I’ll be on my

way; you and the master can discuss your matters now.
