Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 780
Catherine quickly picked the little girl up. When she saw Suzie’s tears, she glared at Shaun with anger.“ We’re not the ones who provoked you, why are you raising your voice at us? Go to Sarah if you dare. You only know how to yell at me every time. Get lost. I’ll accompany Suzie. Your company isn’t needed.”
Then, she carried Suzie into the amusement park.
Shaun, who was left behind, clenched his fists in annoyance. When he watched the two of them walk farther and farther away, his long legs quickly chased after them. “ Suzie is my niece. Even if she wants to play, she’ll play with me.”
“Uncle, I don’t want you. You’re too fierce.” Suzie refused without mercy.
Shaun shrank back and could only say in a soft voice, “Suzie, I didn’t mean it just now…”
“Uncle, you shouldn’t apologize to me but to Aunty Cathy,” Suzie said seriously.
Shaun glanced at Catherine but only saw her continuing to walk forward. She did not pay attention to him at all. He felt depressed.
Suzie looked at him encouragingly. “My teacher said that a true man apologizes when he knows he’s wrong.”
Shaun, “ ”
When facing the child’s innocent eyes, he felt as though he would not be a man if he did not apologize.
He silently sighed and grabbed Catherine’s arm. Lowering his voice, he said, “Sorry. I’ve been in a bad mood recently and spoke too loudly just now. Don’t take it personally.”
Catherine turned around in annoyance to glare at him, but Suzie said, “Aunty Cathy, just forgive him. Uncle is pretty pitiful too. He’s already so old but he just broke up. My daddy is younger than him but he already has such a big daughter like me.”
