Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 728
Shaun swiftly started the car. Through the rear- view mirror, he saw Suzie snuggling up in Catherine’s arms.
For a moment, he felt like the three of them were a family and he was bringing his wife and child out to go shopping.
That feeling did not annoy him. On the contrary, he felt that his chest was filled to the brim.
In the backseat, Catherine whispered into Suzie’s ear, “You little rascal. Aren’t you afraid of being exposed?”
“I won’t be, Mommy. They all believe that I’m Uncle Liam’s daughter, ” Suzie said softly, “That vicious woman went to the company to find my scummy dad in the morning. I don’t like her so I tricked him into coming out. Mommy, I’m helping you get payback.”
Catherine did not know whether to laugh or cry, but there was a sweetness in her heart.
Her quick-witted daughter was really smart. “Fine. Stay away from that woman. You’re still small, so you don’t know how scary people can be. Mommy doesn’t want to lose you.”
“It’s okay. Scummy dad likes me a lot. I’ll definitely make him like me more than that bad woman,” Suzie said confidently.
Catherine looked at her seriously. “Suzie, do you like Shaun?”
“He’s okay. He’s handsome, so he’s not an eyesore.”
Suzie’s eyes were sparkling when she spoke. It was clear that she liked him.
Catherine, “….”
Well, it was clear her daughter had taken after her when it came to her taste in men. She only cared about a man’s face and nothing else. She would have to educate Suzie later.
At the supermarket, Catherine took a trolley and carried Suzie to let her sit in it.
However, Suzie was too heavy and she could not lift her high enough. Then, Shaun came over and reached out to hold Suzie firmly, easily placing her i n the trolley.
She glanced at his arm, and Shaun smiled slightly when he noticed her gaze. “Men are stronger.”
Catherine smiled. “Yes, you’re stronger than me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been pushed down by you.”
