Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 744 â I know, but Uncle is about to get married. Aunty Cathy said that Aunty Sarah would be unhappy if you accompany me every day. I donât want her to dislike me,â Suzie said innocently.
Shaun glared at Catherine with annoyance.
âDid I say anything wrong?â Catherineâs beautiful eyes challenged him. âOr do you think that Sarah wonât mind at all?â
If it were in the past, Shaun would bet that Sarah was not that kind of person, but now, he was unsure.
He gritted his teeth at Catherineâs snub.
âHurry up and leave, so you donât infect Suzie.â Catherine once again chased him away.
Shaun could only resign himself to leaving.
Once he was in the car, he gave the order. âGo to the company. Iâve already taken some medicine. I donât need to go to the hospital.â
Hadley looked at him and did not say anything else.
After all, putting aside some mental illness, his president was usually quite healthy. He had never gotten a cold all year round, and today was an exception.
âOh right. Make a call and tell Liam to come to the company immediately. Then, arrange something urgent for him,â Shaun said again. He did not want to see the loving image of Liam, Catherine, and Suzie together.
Hadley was speechless. He could more or less guess the Eldest Young Masterâs intentions.
âAlsoâ¦â Shaun added again, âGo investigate Isaac Stringer.â
Hadley could not help but say, âEldest Young Master, as far as I know, the Stringer family is a literary family. Isaac Stringer is polite, talented, well-behavedâ¦â
âEnough.â Shaun interrupted with a cold face. âI want his shortcomings. Everyone has shortcomings, like being unfaithful, scummy, or having bad habits.â
Hadley was exasperated. âI heard he doesnât have any. Isaac is prim and proper, and he basically doesnât go out to fool aroundâ¦â
âI donât want what you heard. What you heard might not be true.â Shaun reminded him. âFor example, his feet smell, or his breath smells. Maybe heâs impotent, or he likes men. Any of that will do.â 3 ââ¦Very well.â
Hadley flushed with shame. He understood that Shaun was just trying to shove a wedge between Isaac and Catherine.
Hadley really did not know what Shaun wanted. He was about to get married soon, yet he was still controlling his ex-wife.
9:00 a.m.
By the time he entered the office, Sarah had been waiting on the sofa for a long time.
When she saw him, she immediately asked anxiously, âWhereâs Suzie? Is she okay?â
Shaun lifted his eyes to look at her. Now that he was not feeling well, all he wanted was some peace and quiet. However, Sarahâs appearance had made his temples hurt.
âSarah, tell me. How did Suzie fall last night?â Shaun suddenly asked.
Sarahâs heart quivered, and she felt uneasy when she saw Shaunâs deadpan face. She did not know if Suzie had told him about what happened last night.
Seeing her silence, Shaunâs handsome face grew darker and darker. âIs it that hard to answer a question?â
âYou misunderstood. I just⦠felt that I was responsible for her fall. â Sarah bit her lips and said vaguely, âItâs my fault. If I had been more careful and patient, she probably wouldnât have fallen. Iâm sorry.â
Shaun stared at her.
If it were in the past, he might have chosen to comfort her unconditionally.
However, Suzieâs cries last night made him sensible enough to realize that although Sarah took the blame, her reasons why Suzie fell were vague. 1 It was as if⦠Suzie did not fall because Sarah was careless. It was because Sarah was worried about getting her clothes wet, so she pushed Suzie down.
âSarah, do you not like children?â
He suddenly asked.
