Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1656 As they headed inside and walked for a while, they suddenly realized that one person was missing.
They turned around and saw Shaun was still standing where he was. His lips were pulled in a deep pout and he wore an expression that seemed to say âIâve been abandoned, poor meâ.
Catherine and the others felt their hearts go numb at the sight as if they had suddenly become sinners for neglecting a little darling.
As his mother, Lea was feeling even guiltier and said gently, âShaunny, come over. Iâll have someone bake you a cake.â
Shaun ignored her and looked at Catherine sulkily. â
Iâm angry now. You ignored me.â
ââ¦I wasnât ignoring you. I thought youâd follow.â Catherine quickly took his hand and added, âI was thinking about Suzie and Lucas.â
Shaun looked at Suzie and Lucas before whining, â You already have me. Why are you still thinking about them?â
Lucas frowned and Suzie suddenly burst in anger. â Youâre too much. Sheâs our Mommy. How could you steal our mommy from us?â
Shaun froze. No matter how stupid he was, he still knew how important a mommy and daddy were for every child.
His lips quivered, and he bit his sexy lips and suddenly cried. âI donât have a mommy. I donât have oneâ¦â
Catherine was completely flabbergasted.
Suzie was dumbfounded. She felt like she had done something heinous.
Just then, Lea stood out stiffly and said gently, â Shaunny, donât cry. Iâm your mommy. This is your daddy.â
âYeah, Iâm your daddy.â Brennan was a little overwhelmed.
They were both powerful figures in the business world and were absent during Shaunâs childhood, so they did not know how to face such a childish Shaun now.
Shaun looked at them and then at Catherineâs little face, and cried even harder. âI donât want you. My daddy and mommy⦠are so old.â
The âoldâ Brennan and Lea felt as if their hearts were stabbed by millions of arrows.
They were not that old. They were only fifty, and since they had maintained their health very well, they looked around forty at most.
Lea muttered, âWeâre not old. Itâs you whoâs old. â
Brennan nodded in agreement. Although the doctor said not to provoke his son, he was still a little irritated at being called old.
âI canât hear you, I canât hear you. â Shaun covered his ears while exclaiming in denial. â Iâm only two years old.â
Catherine felt dizzy. In normal circumstances, she could compromise, but when it came to his parentsâ¦
âStop crying,â she said solemnly as she tugged Shaunâs hand.
âCathy.â Shaun stopped crying immediately when he saw her serious expression. However, he could not help but sniffle. His handsome face was wet from his tears which tugged at the heartstrings of those who saw him.
âShaunny, listen to me,â Catherine said as she wiped his tears away. âYour daddy and mommy are determined by God. Aunty Lea is your mommy.
How can you call her old? Do you know how hard she worked to give birth to you? Also, Uncle Brennan is your daddy. Children should respect their mommy and daddy. You canât look down on them. If you do, then youâre not a good boy.â
âIâm a good boy,â Shaun said seriously even though he was slightly flustered.
âThen you have to be nice to your daddy and mommy, â Catherine continued.
âOh, okay.â Shaun looked at Lea and Brennan obediently, and said softly, âDaddy, Mommy, Iâm sorry.â
â Itâs okay. â Leaâs heart almost melted as her eyes welled up. She missed out on Shaunâs childhood, so she never expected her son to treat her with such respect one day.
Brennan felt the same. However, he was a man, so no matter how much his eyes stung, he could not shed a tear.
He did not fulfill his duty as a father and missed out on Liam and Shaunâs childhoods. Now, God was giving him a chance to get along with his son again.â
Itâs okay.â He waved his hand. âGo in with cathy. Iâm going to have a smoke.â
