A Mysterious Man

Chapter 115 I’m with Daddy

But the people at the company still respects him. Once they see him coming, some touch up their

makeup, others straighten their attire. Over here, Kevin is able to recover some confidence. So at

times, he will turn a blind eye when they do not concentrate on their work.

“What are you all doing?”

Even if he doesn’t, someone else would reprimand for him.

Kevin is a little dazed when he sees the secretary who he employed. Somehow he forgets her name

and when she sees him staring at him, she thinks that she has attracted his attention and quickly

adjusts herself and then says shyly, “Mr. Quinn…”

Kevin sees that the way she dresses today resembles a 'pineapple'. So he secretly gave her a

nickname, 'Pineapple'.

'Pineapple' seems to have been startled by him and kept twisting her waist and her eyes kept blinking,

as if…

“Has something gotten into your eye?”

'Pineapple' ’s expression changed when she hears this. This Kevin hasn’t been to the office for a while

and she didn’t expect that his first words turned out to be these. She becomes very embarrassed.

“Mr. Quinn has a great sense of humor…” 'Pineapple' tries to laugh this off.

But her smile disappeared when she sees the little girl in Kevin’s arms.

“Mr. Quinn, who’s child came to the office to play?”

Kevin knows what 'pineapple' is thinking and is checking if the child is his.

So he nods and doesn’t want to mislead 'pineapple', “Yes, she’s mine. She’s here to play.”

…

At this moment, Macie whispers to Kevin, “Daddy, who is this? Why does she keep looking at you?”

Kevin answers with a regular voice, “Girl, be polite, quick, greet her.”

Macie is also smart, once she hears she quickly says, “Good day, Mrs. Pineapple.”

'Pineapple' rages until her face becomes red.

“This little kid really knows how to joke...”

On seeing her expression, some people around started to laugh mercilessly.

'Pineapple' ’s expression froze when she hears the laughter.

Kevin didn’t want to waste his time here, “Go and do your work.”

Once he orders, he carries Macie back to the office, “Honey, Dad has to work a while, can you play by

yourself for a moment?”

Macie didn’t expect that after getting excused from school she’ll end up in her father’s office watching

her father work. “Then will Daddy bring me out to play?”

“Of course, just give me the morning, when I finish my work I’ll take you… There is a Barbie doll and

some activity books. You can take your pick.”

Macie is a little girl after all and when she hears that there is a Barbie doll, she became more alert and

excited.

“Daddy, you are great, Macie loves you.” Once she finishes saying she runs to Kevin and kisses him on

the cheek and then goes to play on her own.

Kevin laughs when he sees Macie playing on her own and begins to sort out the documents that

require his attention.

At the office below, after Kevin carries Macie and leaves for the day, “Miss Pineapple” settles into an

uneasy feeling.

The people around her laugh at her, “Some people actually think that they can be the Cinderella, little

did she expect…”

“Didn’t expect Director to have a daughter already, oh no, not a chance now…”

It’s also because Miss 'Pineapple' tries to flaunt her position and becomes despised by many of her

colleagues. Now all these are out in the open.

But 'Pineapple' is not a pushover. She will glare at those who gossip about her until they hold their

tongue.

And for her, she continues to persevere. After she accepted the fact that Kevin has a daughter, she

grabs a pile of snacks and knocks on the door.

Kevin happens to be looking at a complex document and when he hears the door knock, he frowns and

hesitates, then he says, “Come in.”

Miss 'Pineapple' opens the door in a hurry and smiles, “Director, I’m afraid that the little kid may be

hungry and brought some snacks.”

Kevin raises his head and sees the snacks which were junk food, he frowns but didn’t say a word.

Instead, it is Macie who looks at the snacks and then says, “My mother doesn’t let me eat these.”

Miss 'Pineapple' is still dealing with the fact that Kevin has a daughter and now she receives another

blow.

“She has a mother…”

Kevin hears this strange remark and looks at her, “How do I have her without her mother?”

…

Miss 'Pineapple' now realizes that it is a mistake that she came in as she receives one blow after

another, becoming the joke of the moment.

It wasn’t easy for her to be at this position and she needs to capitalize on the opportunity and get on

the top.

“Sweety, what do you want to play at the amusement park?”

Macie rubs her chin as she looks at the scenery in front of the car and she says, “I want to go on the

roller coaster…”

Kevin sighs in relief, “Then can you play on your own?”

Macie pouts towards Kevin, “Daddy, can’t you accompany me?”

Kevin thinks of the ascending and descending feeling and his phobia starts to grip him. “Oh, okay.”

Kevin ponders and knows that he can’t show fear in front of his daughter. So he swallows his saliva

and agrees.

Macie looks at Kevin and reveals a slight smile.

When godfather knows that Kevin intends to take her to the amusement park, he encourages her to

bring Kevin to the roller coaster. “Why, godfather?”

Troy laughed mischievously at her, “You’ll know when you go.”

Macie is very curious and so she pulls Kevin and is eager to see her father’s reaction on a roller

coaster.

Kevin doesn’t know these and he is still trying to figure out an excuse to leave but he didn’t expect the

amusement park to be so near and before he could think of an excuse to leave, they have already

arrived.

“Daddy, we’re here.”

Kevin looks and finds a place to park the car. Then he carries Macie down from the car, “Daddy, go and

buy the tickets”.

“Then wait by my side, okay?”

Macie obediently nods and holds onto Kevin’s shirt and waits by his side.

After getting the tickets, he enters the park with Macie and Macie enthusiastically drags him to the roller

coaster.

…

Girl, you want me to die.

Kevin touches his forehead helplessly and then boards the roller coaster with Macie.

Macie is very nervous and holds Kevin’s hand and is surprised that Kevin’s hand is cold. “Daddy, why is

your hand so cold?”

“Daddy, don’t worry, Macie will protect you.”

Kevin composes himself and says confidently, “I’m fine, hold on tight, it’s about to start.”

When Sunny returns home that night, she sees both of them laying on the bed with faces pale as a

sheet of paper.

“Are you two alright? Have you eaten?”

Sunny just simply ask but both of them seem to hear something that made them nauseous and both

turned to the bedside and starts to retching.

…

“Kevin, where did you bring Macie?”

Kevin knows what he did but he can never say the truth at this point.

So he thinks of a reasonable excuse, “We went to eat something and it might have been off… right,

Macie?”

Before they went home, Macie was instructed by Kevin never to tell Mommy what they did today. So

when she heard Kevin say those, she obediently nods.

When she hears that they may have eaten something bad, Sunny becomes worried and squats,

“Macie, how do you feel now?”

Macie shakes her head, “Mommy, I’m fine, I feel much better now.”

Sunny listens and then heads to the kitchen to prepare some porridge for them.

“Have some porridge when you’re feeling better. Mommy needs to do some work at the study. Call me

if you need me, understand?”

Both of them nod but they can’t be too vigorous, otherwise, they’ll feel faint. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Once Sunny closes the door, Kevin struggles to sit on the bed, “Macie, why did you drag daddy to ride

the roller coaster, you also suffer from the motion sickness.

Macie hesitates for a moment and looks at her dad’s pale face, then she betrays godfather, “It’s

godfather. He heard that you are taking me to the amusement park and told me to take you on the

roller coaster.”

Kevin’s face turns green when he hears Macie’s words and stands up immediately from the bed.

“Daddy, where are you going?”

“I need to settle something. I’ll be back soon.”

Next door, Troy is preparing to take a shower and then settle into bed and suddenly he hears a knock

on the door.

“Who is it? Knocking at this hour?”

He looks at the door, “Did you do anything despicable recently?”

Troy recalls for a moment and then his expression changed, “You, you open the door.”

Baron looks at him but didn’t say a word but he opens the door obediently.

When the door was opened, it was Kevin and raises his eyebrow, “It’s you.”

Kevin doesn’t know the meaning of his remark and nods, “It’s me.”

“It’s so late, what’s the matter?”

“Where’s Troy? Call him out, I’m looking for him.”

Baron raised his eyebrow, “He’s asleep.”

Kevin crosses his arms and looks at Baron, “Who are you kidding?”

Baron laughs and steps aside, “He’s in the bedroom.”
