He was not at all disturbed and quite liked being pestered by Suzie.
If she went to preschool, he would definitely see her less. “Suzie, you’re not disturbing me,” Shaun said earnestly.
“ I know, but Uncle is about to get married. Aunty Cate said that Aunty Sarah would be unhappy if you accompany me every day. I don’t want her to dislike me,” Suzie said innocently.
Shaun glared at Cate with annoyance.
“Did I say anything wrong?” Cate’s beautiful eyes challenged him. “Or do you think that Sarah won’t mind at all?”
If it were in the past, Shaun would bet that Sarah was not that kind of person, but now, he was unsure.
He gritted his teeth at Cate’s snub.
“Hurry up and leave, so you don’t infect Suzie.” Cate once again chased him away.
Shaun could only resign himself to leaving.
Once he was in the car, he gave the order. “Go to the company. I’ve already taken some medicine. I don’t need to go to the hospital.”
Hadley looked at him and did not say anything else.
After all, putting aside some mental illness, his president was usually quite healthy. He had never gotten a cold all year round, and today was an exception.
“Oh right. Make a call and tell Liam to come to the company immediately. Then, arrange something urgent for him,” Shaun said again. He did not want to see the loving image of Liam, Cate, and Suzie together.
Hadley was speechless. He could more or less guess the Eldest Young Master’s intentions.
“Also…” Shaun added again, “Go investigate Isaac Stringer.”
Hadley could not help but say, “Eldest Young Master, as far as I know, the Stringer family is a literary family. Isaac Stringer is polite, talented, well-behaved…”
“Enough.” Shaun interrupted with a cold face. “I want his shortcomings. Everyone has shortcomings, like being unfaithful, scummy, or having bad habits.”
Hadley was exasperated. “I heard he doesn’t have any. Isaac is prim and proper, and he basically doesn’t go out to fool around…”
“I don’t want what you heard. What you heard might not be true.” Shaun reminded him. “For example, his feet smell, or his breath smells. Maybe he’s impotent, or he likes men. Any of that will do.” 3 “…Very well.”
Hadley flushed with shame. He understood that Shaun was just trying to shove a wedge between Isaac and Cate.
Hadley really did not know what Shaun wanted. He was about to get married soon, yet he was still controlling his ex-wife.
9:00 a.m.
By the time he entered the office, Sarah had been waiting on the sofa for a long time.
When she saw him, she immediately asked anxiously, “Where’s Suzie? Is she okay?”
Shaun lifted his eyes to look at her. Now that he was not feeling well, all he wanted was some peace and quiet. However, Sarah’s appearance had made his temples hurt.
“Sarah, tell me. How did Suzie fall last night?” Shaun suddenly asked.
Sarah’s heart quivered, and she felt uneasy when she saw Shaun’s deadpan face. She did not know if Suzie had told him about what happened last night.
Seeing her silence, Shaun’s handsome face grew darker and darker. “Is it that hard to answer a question?”
“You misunderstood. I just… felt that I was responsible for her fall. ” Sarah bit her lips and said vaguely, “It’s my fault. If I had been more careful and patient, she probably wouldn’t have fallen. I’m sorry.”
Shaun stared at her.
If it were in the past, he might have chosen to comfort her unconditionally.
However, Suzie’s cries last night made him sensible enough to realize that although Sarah took the blame, her reasons why Suzie fell were vague. 1
It was as if… Suzie did not fall because Sarah was careless. It was because Sarah was worried about getting her clothes wet, so she pushed Suzie down.
“Sarah, do you not like children?”
He suddenly asked.
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.
Yet, that wretched brat actually turned around and told Shaun.
Shaun accused her, “You pushed her to the ground just because she got your clothes wet. The entire time, she was bathing alone while you played with your phone. Sarah, you’re not impatient. You just don’t like children at all. You have no love.”
Unlike Cate, who would cook nutritious breakfast and dessert for the child, as well as comb her hair and brush her teeth.
She did not even dare to close the door when she was showering because she was worried about the child.
The more he compared, the more he felt like Cate was better.
Back then, he even wanted to let Sarah take care of Cate’s twins, thinking Sarah would take good care of them.
However, the fact was that she threatened a child that was only two years old. What about younger children then?
He did not dare to think about it.
Sarah’s lips quivered.
In the three years that she had been with him, this was the first time Shaun looked at her with such disappointment and anger in his eyes.
A wave of uneasiness washed over her.
She burst into tears of guilt. “ I’m sorry. I couldn’t help it, and I didn’t mean it. Yesterday, when I was bathing Suzie, one moment she said she was cold, and the next said she was hot. I felt that the water temperature was fine, so I became impatient with her. That was why I said those words to threaten her. But that’s only because I saw that some of my colleagues disciplined their children like that. I didn’t mean any harm. I just felt like Suzie didn’t like me.”
“But you have to remember that Suzie just lost her mother.”
Shaun could not be bothered to argue with her any longer. “In any case, children aren’t dogs or cats. If you decide to give birth to them, you have to take good care of them. Many things must be done by yourself. You can’t count on the nanny for everything. After all, the nanny didn’t give birth to the child. How would you know if the nanny will be good to her?”
Just like him. He used to be abused by his nanny.
Hence, Shaun wanted to make sure that his children grew up surrounded by parental love.
“I will. I’ll take good care of them,” Sarah said while tears fell from her eyes.
“ Sarah, I can’t trust you. I think we’re still young. Let’s talk about having children sometime later. ”
Shaun then looked away. “You can go back now. I still have a lot of things to deal with. By the way, you don’t have to prepare my lunch and bring it over anymore. I want you to have your own career rather than let your life revolve around me.”
Once he finished speaking, he sat on the office chair and began working.
Sarah was so angry that she nearly went mad.
However, all she could do was fake an aggrieved look while she walked out of the Lyons Corporation’s office.
She had never expected that the image she had worked so hard to build would end up tarnished by a child instead of Cate.
At this very moment, Lucifer called Sarah.
“Transfer me 1oo million dollars now. I’m strapped for cash.”
Sarah flew into a fury. “I’ve just given you 1oo million dollars not long ago. Are you treating me as a money-printing machine? Do you know how hard it is to earn 1oo million dollars?”
“ It’s hard to earn that amount, but isn’t it an easy task for Shaun?” Lucifer said unconcernedly, “ You’re going to marry the wealthiest man in Australia soon. Half of his wealth will belong to you anyway.”
