Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 745
Sarah was shocked, but she tried to maintain a smile on her face. “Of course I do. Children are innocent and lovely, just like little angels. I like them very much.”
Shaun pursed his lips.
Sarah held his hand and lowered her eyes. “Shaun, I know my mistake last night made you very upset, but it was my first time handling a child, so I was at a loss. I promise I won’t do it again in the future. You can bring Suzie over more often to play next time, and I can practice more on how to take care of children.”
If Suzie dared to tell Shaun about what happened yesterday, she had a thousand ways to teach Suzie without her knowing it.
Even if Suzie died, Sarah could make it so that she had nothing to do with it.
“Practice?” Shaun frowned. “She’s just a little child. Just a little carelessness will get her injured. Even a fishbone or a fruit core might kill her.”
With a pale face, Sarah quickly explained, “That’s not what I meant. I’ll be really, really careful. I won’t let something like that happen…”
“Sarah, I don’t think you’re suitable to have a child for now.” Shaun suddenly interrupted her.
“Why? Just because I didn’t take good care of Suzie yesterday?” Sarah was so anxious that she almost cried. “Shaun, don’t you think you’ve been too biased lately? She’s Liam’s child, not yours. Yes, I admit that I didn’t do a good job, but you can’t take away my right to be a mother. I’m sure I’ll be very attentive to my own child.”
“Sarah, why did you threaten a child about destroying my relationship with you?” Shaun was already not feeling well, so when she started crying, he cracked. “Just because she’s not mine, you told her that her uncle and father don’t get along and that she’s just my niece. You said that if she ruins our relationship, you’ll make me dislike her when I have a child in the future.”
Sarah was dumbfounded.
She thought that Suzie’s frightened silence yesterday after she threatened Suzie meant that her threat was successful.
After all, Suzie was still so young. The speaking skills of most children at that age would not have fully developed yet.
