Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 730 âYeah.â Suzie quickly nodded and blinked hard, causing tears to fall. âEvery time I eat your food, Aunty, I think of Mommy. Just now, I thought of you as my mommy.â
Then, she suddenly jumped into Catherineâs arms. â Aunty, can you be my mommy?â
The little drama queenâs performance was moving too fast. Even Catherine, a self-proclaimed acting genius, could not keep up with her daughterâs rhythm.
It was a pity that this girl was not an actress. She could definitely debut as a child star.
âNo.â Before she could answer, Shaunâs face changed and he said in a low voice.
Suzie looked at him and was so scared that she buried herself in Catherineâs arms. She started to cry.
âUncle is so scary.â
âWhy are you being so fierce to a child?â Catherine glared at him angrily.
Shaun did not mean to scare Suzie, but just the thought of Catherine marrying Liam made his body involuntarily let out a cold aura.
â Suzie, Iâm sorry.â He quickly apologized in a low voice. âBut youâre still young, so there are some things you donât understand. Aunty Cathy canât marry your dad.â
âWhy not? I donât understand.â Suzie feigned ignorance. âDaddy isnât married, and Aunty Cathy isnât married either. Theyâre a good match.â
âHow are they a good match? â Shaun gritted his teeth and completely disagreed. âAunty Cathy is my ex-wife. Itâll be a mess if she marries your dad.
Your great-grandparents wonât agree.â
âOh.â Suzie thought about it seriously. âThen why donât you marry Aunty Cathy, Uncle? That way, Aunty Cathy will also become my family member.â
After her words fell, the living room became strangely quiet.
Shaun subconsciously looked at Catherine. She lowered her head and tucked a lock of hair behind her ears, exposing her beautiful and gentle profile.
âWe canât,â she said gently. âWe were married before, but we divorced because we arenât suited for each other. Your uncle is going to get married soon too. Heâll have a beloved wife, so you have to accept that.â
âOh, I remember now. It was that aunty in the morning. â Suzie suddenly gave Shaun a gloating look.
âUncle, youâre so miserable. Your future wifeâs food isnât good, but I can come to Aunty Cathy anytime I want to eat delicious food.â
Shaun felt like he was paralyzed again, and the words made him⦠very uncomfortable.
He had not thought so before, but after today, he found that he preferred to spend time with Catherine instead.
The two of them had gotten along when they brought Suzie to the supermarket. If they were a family of three, they could eat delicious meals cooked by Catherine and occasionally go to the playground together. That sounded really good.
However, he understood that he had already decided to marry Sarah. There was no going back on many things.
âAlright, you should go back. Iâve already called Liam. Heâll come and pick Suzie up later.â Catherine chased him out. âIt wasnât easy to finish the renovation in this house. I donât want Thomas Neeson to get someone to trash this place again if the Neeson family finds out that youâre here.â
Shaun became upset. âNo need, Iâll bring Suzie with me. You donât know how to take care of children at all, so I donât trust you to take care of our Hill familyâs little treasure.â
âI donât know how to take care of children?â Catherine thought she had heard a joke.
She was single-handedly raising two kids. He knew nothing.
âDid I say anything wrong?â Shaun raised his eyebrows.
âFine, everything you say is right. Go.â Catherine chased them away. âI have something to do later.â
âAunty Cathy, Iâll tell Daddy to bring me to you again tomorrow. â Suzie waved. Although she did not want to leave her mommyâs side, if she insisted on staying longer, her scummy daddy would get suspicious.
Shaun carried Suzie downstairs and squatted down, saying seriously to her, âSuzie, you canât keep telling your daddy to bring you to Aunty Cathy.â
âWhy not?â Suzie immediately became upset. â Uncle, if I had known earlier, I wouldnât have asked you to bring me to Aunty. I like her a lot, but you wonât let me meet her.â
