Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1094 âI was the one who slept with her. I was deep in sleepâ¦â Shaunâs face was chagrined. Sure enough, he could not be too casual in finding excuses. He ended up burning himself in the end.
âShaun Hill⦠â Catherine glared at him angrily. â You really arenât a goodâ¦â
The word âfatherâ was stuck in her throat. She almost let it slip.
âYes, I know Iâm not a good uncle.â Shaun did not think much about it and sincerely admitted his mistake. âIâm trying hard to be Suzieâs new father.â
âNew father?â Catherineâs heart quivered.
âYeah, Liam isnât around anymore, so Iâ ll be her father in the future. Iâll pick her up and drop her off at kindergarten, Iâll sleep with her at night, Iâll also accompany her to read books and play with toysâ¦â
Shaun spoke for a long time before realizing that he was rambling. He immediately stopped his mouth.
âYes, you can stay with her more. â Catherine did not think much about it. After all, many biological fathers did not do those things. Suzie was different from Lucas. Although she called her dad scummy, she needed fatherly love.
After a pause, she lectured again, âBut since youâve decided to take up this responsibility, take better care of her. Which parent would dare to fall into such deep sleep? Sheâs still small, so itâs natural that sheâll kick off the blanket.â
Shaun was stunned. âHow do you know so much? Itâs like you had children beforeâ¦â
Catherineâs heart trembled as she quickly said, â I did have children before. I donât need you to remind me.â
Shaun froze and realized that he had said the wrong thing. âIâm sorryâ¦â
âIâve accompanied Suzie many times now. She used to sleep with me before, so I know children very well.â
Catherine said calmly, âRaising a child is not as simple as spending money on them. You have to be responsible for her.â
âYeah, I know.â
Shaun nodded. His obedient appearance made Catherine feel complicated emotions brewing within her.
She never thought that one day, Shaun would be so well-behaved in front of her. It was like she was looking at a clever student.
âRight, does she need to stay in the hospital tonight?â
âShe can leave, but considering how she cried for you, I waited here for you. â Shaun asked, âCan you hold her? Iâll get the car.â
Catherine picked Suzie up without hesitation and felt her forehead. Everything was normal, so she was relieved.
However, the little girl was sleeping too soundly. She even started to snore.
Soon, Shaun drove the car to the hospitalâs entrance.
When he opened the door, Catherine carried Suzie in and got into the backseat.
Neon lights flashed through the window, and Shaun occasionally saw the scene of Catherine sleeping with Suzie in her arms from the rear-view mirror. She had her head lowered, and when he looked at Suzie, he found the scene very beautiful and quiet.
It made him want to freeze time at this moment forever.
If possible, he wanted to continue this life with her. It did not matter even if he suffered in hell for the second half of his life.
Unfortunately⦠he may never be qualified to have that.
Before long, the car stopped at the neighborhood of his private bungalow.
Catherine was stunned. âYou brought her here? Arenât you staying with your grandparents?â
âThatâs too far away and itâs in the suburbs too. Itâs too late today, so I wonât go there.â
Shaun parked the car and opened the back door. She took Suzie from Catherineâs hands. âIâll take her.
Sheâs too heavy.â
Catherine frowned. â Since sheâs asleep, Iâll go back first.â
She was determined to start a new life with Wesley, so it would not be good for her to stay here with Shaun alone. âBut the doctor said her fever might come back tonight,â Shaun called out to her. âWhat should I do?â
