“Isaac Stringer.” Cate said faintly.
Shaun’s handsome face clouded over. He really wanted to scold her, but they were already divorced, so he had no reason to accuse her. “Come back right now. Suzie is injured. I’m at your door.”
“What?” Cate’s nervous voice sounded. “How did she get injured? Where’s Liam?”
“ I don’t know. Liam is an irresponsible guy. Come quickly. Suzie is crying and says she wants you.” Shaun actually did not expect much when he said that. After all, Suzie was not Cate’s daughter.
To his surprise, Cate said, “Okay, I’ll come back now.”
After hanging up the phone, Shaun lowered his head and looked at Suzie beside him. He did not expect that Cate would be so concerned about Suzie. It was as if Suzie was her daughter.
On the other end, Cate hung up the phone and immediately said to Issac, “Sorry, something came up at home. I need to go.”
“I’ll send you back.” Issac got up.
“No need, I’ll just drive back by myself.”
Cate hurriedly left the scene. Once she got into the car, she quickly called Liam. “Why is Suzie with Shaun? Do You know that she got injured? Liam Lyons, although Suzie isn’t your daughter, she’s still your niece. Can you be a little more concerned about her?”
“She’s injured? Liam was shocked. “Wait, I’m not at fault. It was your little princes who wanted to go to Shaun’s villa. She even told me to play along as an irresponsible father. Do you think I have it easy?”
“….”
Cate suddenly felt a headache. “What does she plan to do?”
“She said she wanted to help you teach that wicked stepmother a lesson.”
Cate rubbed her temples. “Okey, I’m sorry. I was wrong about you. Shaun brought Suzie over to my place now, so I have to hurry over. “
“It seems like Suzie is quite capable. Since she tricked Shaun over to your place at this time of the night, I’m guessing she wants to matchmake you with Shaun again.” Liam laughed with mirth.
“Hah. I’m not interested in a piece of dog sh*t like Shaun Lyons.”
After Cate hung up the phone, she was not as worried anymore.
She figured that Suzie’s injury might not be serious. That weird girl must have done it on purpose.
– At g 30 p.m., she walked out of the elevator to see Shaun leaning against her door with Suzie sitting o n his shoulders. Both her hands were on his head as she watched cartoons with Shaun’s phone. The scene made Cate’s heart stutter.
When she was pregnant with the twins, she was full of expectations. She had imagined this image before.
Since Shaun was so tall, she thought their future daughter could definitely sit on his shoulders and play.
Now that she had given up hope, the scene came true.
However, it was only for a moment. She snapped back to her senses and subconsciously became strict. “Shaun Lyons, you let her play with your phone?”
Suzie was so startled that the phone fell from Shaun’s head with a ‘barn’. It fell to the ground with the screen facing down.
The corridor was eerily quiet for a while. Shaun then bent to lower Suzie down and picked up the phone. The whole screen was shattered.
Suzie’s eyes flashed with panic. “Uncle, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it.”
“It’s okay, it’s just a phone. I’ll get a new one.” Shaun gently appeased her.
Suzie’s guilty heart gradually calmed down.
Cate was shocked when she saw this. In her memory, Shaun was irascible, cold, and mean. She never expected that there would be a warm side to him. Was it because they were related by blood? Nevertheless, she quickly frowned again. “Your method of education is wrong.”
Having been accused, Shaun glared at her with dissatisfaction. “You have a lot of nerve to say that. I f you didn’t scold her so suddenly, would she have been startled and dropped my phone? You’re the one at fault.”
“Shaun Lyons, do you not understand at all? She’s still young, and her eyes are not fully developed yet, so she can’t play with mobile phones. ” Cate walked up to Suzie very seriously. “Were you right or wrong?”
Shaun thought Suzie would be afraid and start to cry. Just as he was about to scold Cate, Suzie nodded obediently. “I was wrong. I won’t play with mobile phones anymore.”
“If you want to watch cartoons, you can turn on the TV and watch for a while. But you can’t watch them on mobile phones.” Cate’s tone changed to a very gentle one again.
Suzie nodded obediently and even extended her hands towards Cate for a hug.
Cate picked her up, and Suzie immediately buried her face in Cate’s arms.
Those who did not know would think that they were mother and daughter.
Shaun was very surprised.
Before he could ponder about it, Cate turned and said to him, “Don’t just use mobile phones to solve the problem. Mobile phones are addictive.
You’ll harm her for a lifetime. Since your phone broke, you should take it as a lesson.”
Shaun was speechless.
Not only did he lose a phone, but it seemed he also deserved to have it broken.
He said in annoyance, “ If you didn’t come back so late, I wouldn’t have let Suzie play with the phone because I was afraid she’d be bored. You only came back forty minutes after I called you. Were you so reluctant to part with Isaac Stringer?”
“Yeah. I actually wanted to bring Isaac back tonight. If you hadn’t suddenly brought Suzie here, I wouldn’t have let him go back alone. ” Cate took out the keys and glanced at him with disgust.
“You’ve only known Isaac for such a short time, yet you want to bring him back for the night?
Cate, you’re too fickle.”
Shaun was irritated. He could not picture Isaac and Cate in bed. If he did, it would make him feel like killing someone.
Sensing his gaze, Suzie shrunk in Cate’s arms i n fear. “Uncle, you’re scary.”
Shaun froze. Was he that scary?
“You’re insane. How am I fickle? We’re already divorced, so it’s normal if I have contact with other men. There’s nothing unusual about letting things g o their natural course.”
Cate opened the door as she spoke.
Shaun’s face darkened as he listened, and his fists clenched until they cracked.
However, Cate seemed not to notice. She carried Suzie to the sofa instead and asked gently, “ Where does it hurt?”
“My arm.” Suzie raised her arm.
Cate rolled up Suzie’s sleeve, and when she saw that her elbow was bruised, she frowned. “How did you get hurt?”
Suzie silently looked at Shaun, and Shaun looked away awkwardly. “She fell.”
“It’s okay. You’ll be fine after applying some ointment.”
Cate took out the ointment and applied some on Suzie.
Ever since she had children, she had made it a habit to keep ointment for falling injuries at home because it was common for children to stumble.
“Aunty Cate, I’m hungry,” Suzie suddenly said.
“Didn’t you eat dinner?” Shaun was confused. “ Was it not enough?”
“Uncle, can I tell the truth?” Suzie pouted. “Go ahead.”
“Aunty Zara’s food isn’t as delicious as Aunty Cate’s, ” Suzie said and quickly lowered her head. “ The chef at the manor also doesn’t cook as well as Aunty Cate. Aunty Cate’s cooking has a motherly taste.”
Shaun did not know what to say.
Fine. Although he thought so too, he had not tasted the motherly taste of Cate’s dishes yet. Maybe Cate’s cooking tasted very similar to Suzie’s mother.
“Well, it’s normal for children to get hungry at this time. I’ll make you… a souffle.”
Cate rubbed Suzie’s head and turned to the kitchen.
Suzie immediately followed at her heels like a kitten eager to be fed.
Shaun had never eaten souffle before, but he had heard Sarah mention that it was a dessert.
“It’s not good for a child to eat dessert so late at night. ” Shaun criticized her with a frown. He did not forget her blaming him for giving the cell phone to Suzie earlier, and she was no better.
Cate ignored him and took out three eggs from the fridge. Then, she separated the yolk from the whites.
The bright egg yolks made her fingers look slender, and her clean, white wrists gave him an urge to hold her.
Shaun was lost in thought for a while until Suzie answered him, “The souffle Aunty Cate makes isn’t that sweet.”
“Suzie, you seem to know everything. It’s as if you know her very well.” Shaun was doubtful.
Cate answered without raising her head, “It’s because Liam has often asked me to take care of her, especially… just after her mother left.”
