Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 747 Shortly after Catherine left, Suzie stuffed a card into Lucasâs hand. âThis is from our scummy dad. Take i t and spend it whenever you want. I have one too. Great-grandpa gave it to me.â
âI donât want it.â Lucas tossed it back to Suzie and reminded her, â Susan Jones, are you hoping that our scummy dad will get back together with Mommy?â
A guilty look flashed across Suzieâs eyes. âActually ⦠Our scummy dad is more attractive in real life than in photos. Weâll be honored if we go out with himâ¦â
Lucas was at a loss for words. He knew that his sister was unreliable, considering that she admired people with good looks. âDonât forget that heâs going to marry another woman. Heâs a scumbag. If it werenât for Mommy, who protected us back then, we might not have survived.â
Suzie instantly kept quiet.
âAlso, donât forget how well Uncle Wesley treats us,â Lucas reminded her bluntly. âAll this while, Uncle Wesley has been waiting for Mommy.â âFine. Iâm not going to matchmake them.â Suzie dropped her head.
Today, the preschool teacher talked about an important topic called âYou Canât Touch Meâ.
The teacher said earnestly, âChildren, if a stranger wants to touch your face, backside, or chest, you must not allow them to, alright? Also, donât take off your pants or shirt in front of a stranger. Our body i s private and must not be exposed to others.â
Upon hearing that, Suzie furrowed her caterpillar- like brows. In the end, she raised her hand and asked, âTeacher, what happens if someone sees my naked body?â
âIf itâs a stranger, you can call the police, â the teacher responded seriously.
âWhat if itâs not a stranger?â Suzie pondered in distress. âUncle saw Auntyâs bodyâ¦â
The teacher was speechless.
âAhem. Ahem.â It took the teacher a while before she regained her senses and answered reluctantly, â
Then, the man has to take the responsibility. If a boy sees a girlâs body, he must be responsible to the girl by marrying her. Otherwise, heâs considered a scumbag.â
Suzie did not seem to grasp the teacherâs message.
No wonder her Mommy lost her temper last night. I t turned out that Uncle Shaun was a scumbag.
After recess, Suzie borrowed the teacherâs phone to call Shaun. âUncle Shaun, Iâm in school.â
âMm. Have you settled in?â Shaun asked gently.
âYeah, I like it. Uncle Shaun, my teacher taught me something today. She says if a boy sees a girlâs body, he has to be responsible to the girl by marrying her, â Suzie said solemnly. âYou saw Aunty Cathyâs body last night.â
Shaun could not find the words to reply to her.
âDonât think I donât know what happened. Aunty Cathy told me last night. My teacher said you must b e responsible to the girl. Or else, youâre a scumbag.â
After that, Suzie hung up the call.
When Shaun heard those words in the office, his handsome face turned grim.
He could not believe that a brat was teaching him a lesson.
As he was spinning his phone, the scene last night flashed across his mind. Suddenly, his heart tingled, and he wanted to hear that womanâs voice.
After hesitating for a moment, Shaun found Catherineâs number and dialed it.
âYes, President Hill?â The womanâs solemn voice sounded.
Somehow, he was annoyed. âWhat medicine did you let me take this morning? I feel much better. â
âKeflex and some cold medicine.â
âOh.â
