“She’s my biological niece. I’ll definitely treat her well.” Liam waved his hand.“... Alright.” Catherine nodded as she understood her daughter’s intention. “I’ll get you some good food tomorrow.”When Catherine left with Lucas, she saw Liam entertaining Suzie who looked delighted.She could not help but recall the time when Suzie was just born. Suzie had always cried and disliked anyone else carrying her except for Catherine.However, when Liam came back to visit Suzie and carried her, she would stop crying. She also enjoyed clinging to Liam in particular. Perhaps this was the exemplification of the saying ‘blood is thicker than water’, or perhaps, it was because Liam bore a passing resemblance to Shaun. The child could actually feel it.…When Suzie was in Liam's arms at night, she suddenly whispered to him, “Uncle Liam, is my scummy dad friendly like you when he deals with kids?” Liam was stunned. At the sight of the cute child whose face was pale because of her injuries,
Suzie had grown up in a foreign country from a young age and was only surrounded by two family members, namely Catherine and Lucas. Other people had grandparents, yet she did not have any.An idea popped up in her mind all of a sudden.She nodded before she wrapped her arms around Liam’s neck, calling out, “Daddy.”Liam jerked.“Look, she’s calling you Daddy and you’re still denying it? Kids won’t lie.” Old Madam Hill poked his temple violently. Liam felt helpless. When did he have a daughter who was soon turning three?“Hi, Great-grandma,” Suzie greeted Old Madam Hill sweetly.“Aww, what a sweetheart you are. You’re so obedient, polite, and clever. You can already recognize me as your great-grandma in an instant. How did you find out?” Old Madam Hill’s heart melted.Old Madam Hill had a lot of children and grandchildren, but they often made her blood boil after they grew up—especially her grandsons.Willie was a playboy, whereas Shaun had caused his children’s death. Liam, o
“No. Drive here and pick me up. Let’s go there together.”...At the hospital.Old Madam Hill had already informed everyone in the family.Liam hurriedly sent a message to Catherine in secret, telling her not to bring Lucas along later.His grandmother was ecstatic that she now had a granddaughter. If there turned out to be a grandson as well, they would be done for.Catherine, who was on the way to the hospital, felt that it was absurd. Her good daughter was gone in a night and had become Liam’s daughter now.Liam was totally unreliable.In less than an hour, Old Master Hill, Lea, Mason, Valerie, and Spencer arrived.They all had doubts at first. However, when they saw Suzie’s face, they did not dare to have any more doubts.She looked very much like Lea when she was young.Lea was smitten with Suzie at first glance. She was a career-oriented woman, so she had never thought of having many children and grandchildren. Nevertheless, when she saw such an adorable granddaughte
“Mom, stop mentioning the past. Maybe things were just not meant to be with Catherine.” Valerie was quite happy about it, but she could not show it.“Okay, I don’t think this hospital’s environment is good. Let’s go back to the Hill family’s manor. Get a medical team to come over so that Suzie doesn’t need to go to the trouble of staying in the hospital,” Old Master Hill ordered.Suzie was the Hill family’s first great-granddaughter. She had to be raised with care.When the Hill family left the hospital together with Suzie, Catherine walked out from the corner of a wall while holding Lucas’ hand.It was a lie to say that she was not angry nor sad.However, when she saw Suzie happily in Lea’s arms, she felt uncomfortable in her heart too.Although Suzie had never said it aloud, Catherine knew that Suzie was envious of other kids who had grandparents.Maybe… this was for the better. If Suzie returned to the Hill family as Liam’s daughter, the Hill family members would cherish her.
Suzie, who was still excited, simply said, “My name is Susan Jones.”“Your last name is Jones?” Everyone was stunned as their gazes turned strange.Valerie kept batting her eyes. “Could it be that her mother’s last name is Jones…”Liam’s calves spasmed. He said hastily, “It’s quite a coincidence, but there are many people with Jones as their last name right?”“That’s enough. It doesn’t matter what last name Suzie has. She’ll have to change it to Hill anyway,” Old Master Hill said sternly.“I don’t want to have Hill as my last name.” When Suzie heard him, she was so surprised that she was about to pout and cry. “I don’t want to change my last name.”“Alright, we won’t change it if you don’t want to. It’s not an urgent matter.” Old Madam Hill glared at Old Master Hill. “She just lost her mother and you’re already forcing her to change her last name? Take it slow. Why are you being so hasty?”Old Master Hill was dejected from being scolded.When they reached the kids’ room, Suzie
“You noticed it too?”Lea laughed bitterly. “Liam, what kind of person do you think your dad is?”Liam opened his mouth for a second, but he remained silent in the end.Three years ago, everyone had suspected him when the pictures of Shaun in the mental hospital were leaked. Only Liam himself knew that he was innocent. When he learned that the news originated from the Campos family, he had more or less guessed that it was Mason who did it.His dad may appear gentlemanly and uninterested in everything, but what was seen on the outside might not be real.Unfortunately, no matter how much he asked, Mason would never reply to his questions directly.All those years, Liam had felt suffocated working in Hill Corporation. However, Mason had never mentioned anything about helping him at all. The time Mason spent with him was not even as much as the time Mason spent with Charlie.Whenever Liam went to the Campos family, the people there would be friendly to him on the surface. There wa
Old Madam Hill reminded Shaun, “By the way, Suzie’s a little over two years old but not three years old yet. When you’re buying presents, buy them according to her age. Also, let me inform you that I’m letting Suzie use the room that was prepared for the twins previously. You won’t be using it now anyway.”She hung up the call after she finished speaking.Shaun held his phone and remained in the same position for a long time.A little over two years old.If Catherine’s children were alive, they would have been around that age too.At that moment, his phone rang again.It was Sarah who called. “Shaunic, do you still have to work extra hours today? Didn’t we agree to pick a wedding shoot package together later?”“I don’t have time today. I have to go to the manor after I finish my work, so I won’t be going home,” Shaun explained.Sarah bit her lip. “Are you still angry at me because my brother got someone to destroy Catherine’s house? Shaunic, I really didn’t know about it. I war
Hadley blinked. “She’s the youngest member of the Hill family. I heard that Old Madam Hill is very delighted. The Hill family hasn’t been this lively in so long, so I bought more gifts.”Shaun harrumphed. “That’s not my child anyway.”“...”In fact, that was really his child....Shaun walked up the stairs.Just as he stepped into the villa, a little girl with her hair tied into two braids ran toward him.She had her head turned as she ran and said, “The kitty ran out. I’m going after it.”“Don’t go, your wound hasn’t recovered yet.”Lea had just finished talking when Suzie rammed into Shaun’s calves and fell on the ground.“Little brat, look in front of you when you’re walking.” Shaun bent over and helped her up.Suzie looked up and saw Shaun’s face up close. It was a face that had refined and perfectly sculpted features. He had a pair of attractive double eyelids.Suzie had seen this face before. A few days ago, Lucas had found a picture on the internet and showed it to h
