Chapter 16 The Brutal Child
In Susie’s room, Alex shrunk in Susie’s arms while Susie was in Alana’s
arms.
The parrot that just arrived at the new place was almost choked to death so it had a bit of a stress reaction, and Susie was sad that she didn’t protect Alex.
Seeing Susie gradually calm down, Alana said, “Is Susie feeling better? This is indeed Lulu’s fault. Susie did the right thing.”
Craig also said, “Yes. Susie is great and a very good kid.”
Alana followed up with, “Susie is Grandma’s good girl.”
The two old ones’ praises were like a baton race. Susie, embarrassed to be complimented like this for the first time, grabbed Alex’s wings and said, “Grandparents are good babies too.”
The two old men were stunned and burst out laughing.
Martin had just been in a meeting in the study and came out at that moment to know about Susie and Lulu’s fight and couldn’t help but frown.
He stood in the doorway without saying a word as he watched Susie, his heart slightly aching.
When he saw David approaching, he whispered, “David, you have to settle this matter as soon as possible.”
When Mara first married in, the two didn’t have much of a relationship, but because they already had a son, Zion, they were not bad.
It wasn’t until Lulu was born that the Murray family learned the truth David wanted a divorce, but the Warner family refused.
Because their sister Clara disappeared, everyone was exhausted to find her, so the matter had been delayed until now.
David muffled, “I know, but now that the two kids are not big, I’m worried about how the divorce will affect them.” And they were also his children. Although he usually did not spend time getting along with them, he could not part with them.
Martin nodded his head. Every family had its problems, and he couldn’t make decisions for David’s life.
He said, “Take care of it yourself.”
The two looked inside Susie’s room, where the little girl had gotten rid of the bad mood and was discussing her name with Alana.
The little girl’s voice was lovely, but her little face was earnest, feeling like she had memorized what her mother said word for word.
Alana’s nose was sour and she nodded, “Susie’s name is so well. Your mom’s name is Clara Murray, and Susie’s last name is also Murray, okay?”
Susie nodded happily.
Craig laughed, “What’s good about her first name?”
Susie raised her little hand and grabbed the answer, “Susie Murray.”
The crowd couldn’t help but puff out a laugh.
Martin walked in and said, “Call Susu.”
Alana shook her head, “No good.”
The crowd was momentarily confused. So they decided to have a meeting and collect names together as a family.
Alana asked again, “Susie is three and a half years old, isn’t she?”
Susie thought for a moment, “Yes, Mom says Susie popped out on the fifteenth of March.”
The crowd paused. The fifteenth of March? That’s a week later.
In a week, Susie would turn four years old.
Alana said, “Great, let’s have a birthday party for Susie and buy Susie a super big cake, okay? Then Susie can make a wish with the cake.”
Susie’s eyes lit up with joy and she said, “Really?” She could have a big cake too.
