“Alright.” Sarah gritted her teeth. She was under no illusion that there would be no turning back once she embarked on this journey. Nevertheless, it was an immense relief to know that Lucifer, who had been a thorn in her side, had been killed.
Shortly after, the sound of a car engine came from outside.
She immediately walked downstairs. “Shaunic, you came back at the right time. The wedding planner sent me the floor plan today, and this is how our wedding venue will be decorated. Is this okay?”
Shaun only threw a casual glance at it when she handed him her phone. “As long as you like it, it’s fine. I’m going to take a bath now.”
Sarah watched his back and suddenly stomped her feet with frustration. “Shaun, to be honest, are you not ready to marry me? Ever since we decided to get married, you haven’t been bothered about anything related to our wedding. We haven’t even gotten a marriage certificate yet, and our wedding is next week. Do you still remember that?”
Shaun turned his head around. The second he met her miserable gaze, his heart sank.
All this while, he thought that getting married to Sarah was a joy. However, this matter felt like a huge weight on his mind recently.
Sarah could not help but tear up. “I know what happened to Suzie the other day was my fault, but I’ve reflected on myself. You don’t want me to get pregnant, so I haven’t been taking any shots. What else do you want from me? Is it because you don’t love me anymore? Every day, you leave home early and come back late. You weren’t like this previously. Ever since Cate came back…”
“Enough.” Shaun interrupted her.
“I’m not done yet,” Sarah could not help but shout at him. She cried like she was on the verge of breaking down. “I know I can’t satisfy you, and you find it disgusting to touch me. But you were the one who insisted on being with me, Shaunic. I didn’t want to ruin your marriage with Cate either. I’ve stayed by your side for three years, and the whole world knows that we’re getting married. If you decide to dump me now, what am I going to do with my life? Are you trying to drive me to my death? When we met at the mental hospital at a young age, you said that you’d protect me forever once we were out. Have you forgotten about it? I love you, and my love for you has never changed. But what about you?”
The scenes in the mental hospital flashed across his mind.
When Shaun heard her cry, his heart was once again overwhelmed with guilt and self-blame.
Regardless of what kind of person she had turned into, Chester was right in saying that there was no turning back.
Given that this woman had spent most of her youth on him, he must not disappoint her.
“Sorry, I just have a lot on my plate recently. I’ll go t o the wedding venue with you tomorrow.”
Shaun said in a low voice.
He would not think about Cate anymore. This time, he would really get over her.
Their wedding day was drawing closer and closer.
After the meeting ended in the afternoon, Shaun rose to his feet and was about to leave. That was when a female director walked to Lea and said with a smile, “Where are you going? Let’s go for a facial later, okay?.”
“I can’t. Liam is away on a business trip in Perth, so I need to pick up my granddaughter later,” Lea replied with a grin.
“Wow, I can’t tell that you’re already a granny. You still look like a young lady.”
The female director and Lea began to chat happily. Shaun walked to them and said, “Both of you can go ahead, and I’ll pick Suzie up. I happen to have a dress for her. I need her to be my flower girl the day after tomorrow.”
Lea was momentarily stunned, but after some hesitation, she nodded. Given that her sons were not on friendly terms, she hoped that Suzie would act as a bridge between them. “Alright, then.”
At the preschool entrance.
By the time Shaun arrived, the kids had not yet been dismissed. He was dressed in a blue shirt and a pair of creaseless, white casual pants. Seeing his tall and elegant figure, the security guard at the gate subconsciously showed his respect.
While most of the kids in this preschool had wealthy parents, it was rare to see a parent like him who exuded a strong sense of authority.
“Sir, may I know which kid you’re here for?”
“I’m here for Susan Cox, ” Shaun replied nonchalantly.
“She’s in the nursery class. The nursery class is having an outdoor activity now.”
The security guard courteously led him into the compound. In less than a minute, they arrived at
the place where the outdoor activity was being carried out.
A group of kids was playing happily in the spacious compound.
Shaun caught sight of Suzie within seconds due to her striking pink outfit, and she was the cutest and prettiest one among those girls.
When he was about to approach Suzie, he suddenly saw her jumping off the slide and holding the hand of a little boy in a white uniform.
Suzie forcefully pulled the little boy’s hand and stomped her feet coquettishly. “Lucas, do you want to go on the seesaw with me?”
“No, I don’t like it.” The boy looked cool and innocent from the back.
“No way. I just want you to play with me.” Suzie pulled the boy’s hand without intending to let it go.
Shaun’s handsome face darkened. He could already tell that Suzie was the kind who easily fell for people with good looks. He was previously worried that she would get into a relationship at an early age. However, he did not expect that she would hold a boy’s hand coquettishly in the first few days of preschool.
He turned around, planning to teach her that it was improper for boys and girls to have physical contact with each other.
“Suzie.” He strode toward her.
Suzie and Lucas were both taken aback.
“Uncle Shaun.” Suzie promptly ran toward Shaun and blocked his way.
Lucas seized the opportunity to flee. In the blink of an eye, he had sneaked into the slide tunnel.
Shaun frowned. “Is he your new friend here? Why did he run away the moment he saw me?”
“He doesn’t know you, so why should he stay here and say hi to you?” Suzie tilted her head. “What’s more, you probably scared him away with your authoritative voice just now. Uncle Shaun, why is it you who came to pick me up today?”
“Your dad is away on a business trip, so I came to pick you up. Let’s go.” Shaun extended his hand toward her.
“Alright. I’ll let my teacher know and take my bag.”
Suzie jumped around and held Shaun’s hand as they headed to the classroom to take her bag.
When the teacher handed Suzie to Shaun, her heart raced at the sight of Shaun’s attractive looks.
“Miss, how is Suzie’s performance?” Shaun suddenly asked. He thought that Liam was irresponsible, so he felt the need to find out more about Suzie of his own accord.
“Great. Suzie is a bubbly girl. She has already made some good friends on her first day here, and she has a particularly close relationship with Lucas,” the teacher responded with a grin.
“Lucas?” Shaun frowned, wondering why Lucas’s parents would give him such a name.
“Let’s leave now, Uncle Shaun.” Feeling uneasy, Suzie immediately pulled him away for fear that he would catch sight of Lucas.
“Mm. ” Only after Shaun carried Suzie and left did she heave a sigh of relief. “ Suzie, was Lucas the one you were holding hands with just now?” Shaun asked all of a sudden.
“…Yeah,” Suzie answered nervously. “Suzie.” Shaun suddenly bent down and said
earnestly, “The two of you are still young, so it’s okay. As you grow older, you need to understand that you can’t simply hold a boy’s hand.”
“Oh.” Suzie nodded. She would never grab a boy’s hand randomly. However, since Lucas was her brother, it did not matter.
