Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1094
“I was the one who slept with her. I was deep in sleep…” Shaun’s face was chagrined. Sure enough, he could not be too casual in finding excuses. He ended up burning himself in the end.
“Shaun Hill… ” Catherine glared at him angrily. “ You really aren’t a good…”
The word ‘father’ was stuck in her throat. She almost let it slip.
“Yes, I know I’m not a good uncle.” Shaun did not think much about it and sincerely admitted his mistake. “I’m trying hard to be Suzie’s new father.”
“New father?” Catherine’s heart quivered.
“Yeah, Liam isn’t around anymore, so I’ ll be her father in the future. I’ll pick her up and drop her off at kindergarten, I’ll sleep with her at night, I’ll also accompany her to read books and play with toys…”
Shaun spoke for a long time before realizing that he was rambling. He immediately stopped his mouth.
“Yes, you can stay with her more. ” Catherine did not think much about it. After all, many biological
fathers did not do those things. Suzie was different from Lucas. Although she called her dad scummy, she needed fatherly love.
After a pause, she lectured again, “But since you’ve decided to take up this responsibility, take better care of her. Which parent would dare to fall into such deep sleep? She’s still small, so it’s natural that she’ll kick off the blanket.”
Shaun was stunned. “How do you know so much? It’s like you had children before…”
Catherine’s heart trembled as she quickly said, “ I did have children before. I don’t need you to remind me.”
Shaun froze and realized that he had said the wrong thing. “I’m sorry…”
“I’ve accompanied Suzie many times now. She used to sleep with me before, so I know children very well.”
Catherine said calmly, “Raising a child is not as simple as spending money on them. You have to be responsible for her.”
“Yeah, I know.”
If possible, he wanted to continue this life with her. It did not matter even if he suffered in hell for the second half of his life.
Unfortunately… he may never be qualified to have that.
Before long, the car stopped at the neighborhood of his private bungalow.
Catherine was stunned. “You brought her here? Aren’t you staying with your grandparents?”
“That’s too far away and it’s in the suburbs too. It’s too late today, so I won’t go there.”
Shaun parked the car and opened the back door. She took Suzie from Catherine’s hands. “I’ll take her. She’s too heavy.”
Catherine frowned. “ Since she’s asleep, I’ll go back first.”
She was determined to start a new life with Wesley, so it would not be good for her to stay here with Shaun alone. “But the doctor said her fever might come back tonight,” Shaun called out to her. “What should I do?”
