However… Suzie was Liam’s daughter. The daughter of Liam, who Shaun despised the most since he was young. If his children were still alive, they would have been this adorable too, right?Shaun took a black card from his wallet and put it in Suzie’s hands. “This is pocket money for you.”Lea’s eyes almost fell to the ground from shock.She never expected Shaun to be so friendly to Liam’s daughter. Besides, Shaun treated everyone coldly. Suzie was probably the only one who ever got special treatment from him.“What’s this? Great-grandfather gave me a card too. The one Great-grandfather gave me is enough.” Suzie returned the card to Shaun. “I can’t take this.”Shaun was glad. It looked like her mom had taught her well. “It’s okay. That card was given to you by your great-grandfather, while this one is given to you by me. It has a different meaning.”“Suzie, keep the card. Your uncle has a lot of money anyway. Don’t lose it,” Lea reminded her.Suzie tilted her head and gave it som
“...”Shaun was speechless.He knew that Suzie was talking about the safe box. Catherine had stayed in this room three years ago. She was the one who set the password as well.After Catherine left, a lot of her belongings in the room were cleared, except for the safe box. Nobody opened it because they did not know the password.Before this, he had paid no mind to it at all and never even thought of opening it.He did not expect that the little brat would open it by accident.“It’s… a necklace,” Shaun said with a hoarse voice.“Is it yours, Uncle Shaun?” Suzie asked out of curiosity.“I’m not too sure either.” Shaun could not recall anything. “But I think I know who it belongs to. I’ll return it to her.”“Okay.” Suzie put the necklace in his hands and went to wash her face....During breakfast, Liam walked over and picked Suzie up. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, “Suzie, if your mom finds out that you’re sticking so closely to Shaun, will she be very angry?”“
Fortunately, it was already past the hour where employees were coming to work. Otherwise, Catherine could imagine every female employee in the company staying back to admire his good looks.“Why are you here again?” Catherine walked over in her high heels. She tapped on his car with her fair fingers. “President Hill, you can’t park here.”Shaun glanced down at her. She was utterly bare-faced and did not wear any makeup that day. However, that did not affect her beauty in the slightest. Instead, it made her little face look clean and soft. Her features looked even tidier and exquisite when she was not wearing makeup.He unbuttoned one of the buttons of his shirt where his chest area was. His mouth felt dry.“This… is yours.”He retrieved a velvet box from his car. He opened it and revealed The Queen’s Necklace that was inside it.Catherine was taken aback.The Queen’s Necklace had been bought by him for her in Melbourne at the price of three billion dollars. It was also evidence
Sarah’s heart that just felt relieved received another shock. Just how exactly did she look like an employee?“No, she’s my fiancée,” Shaun explained.“Hello, Aunty,” Suzie greeted Sarah sweetly.“Hi.” Sarah smiled sheepishly. “Shaunic, I never knew you liked kids. Looks like we should quickly have one of our own.”“Yes,” Shaun replied calmly, “Maybe it’s because this child looks a lot like me.”“It’s okay. Our future child will look even more like you.” Sarah smiled with her hands covering her mouth.Suzie’s eyes were downcast. She showed a disappointed look and grabbed Shaun’s sleeve tightly. “Uncle Shaun, will you not love Suzie anymore when you have your own child in the future?”Her dark eyes were filled with fear and disappointment. Her face was pale, and her forehead was still wrapped in bandages.Shaun felt a pinch in his heart. He coaxed her in a low voice, saying, “I won’t. Even if I have a child in the future, I’ll still like you, Suzie.”“Thank you, Uncle Shaun.” S
Soon, the famous chefs of Hill Corporation’s restaurants were summoned to cook Suzie’s favorite dishes.However, Suzie only took a few bites before sobbing again. “I don’t like it. It’s not as good as Mommy’s cooking. Mommy’s food tastes fresh and fragrant, and there are many sesame seeds sprinkled on top. Actually, I already know… that I can never eat Mommy’s cooking again.”As she spoke, two streams of tears came flowing out of her eyes. However, she did not make a sound.She did not know that when she cried like that, it only intensified Shaun’s heartache. This little child was too sensible.He also knew that kind of pain. When he was young, although he had a mother, it was as if he did not.“Suzie, let’s go find your Daddy, okay?” Shaun really had no choice.“Okay, tell Daddy to bring me to Aunty Cathy. Aunty Cathy’s cooking is also delicious. It tastes like my mommy’s cooking.” Suzie sniffled.“Aunty Cathy?” Shaun paused. “You mean Catherine Jones?”That damned Liam Hill!
“Yes, yes.”Shaun’s intimidating force made the managers all too scared to breathe. They hurriedly vacated the place and left.In an instant, the office was quiet.Suzie hugged Catherine’s neck and said, “I suddenly miss Mommy’s cooking. Daddy brought me to try your food a while ago and it was delicious. It tastes like Mommy’s cooking, so I asked Uncle to bring me to you.”Then, she secretly winked at Catherine.“...”Catherine felt her scalp go numb.She went from being a mom to being an aunty. If Shaun were not around, she would have spanked her already.What was this all about?However, she could only play along with Suzie now.When Catherine did not answer, Shaun’s handsome face sank and he said, “Did you hear what Suzie said? The girl wants to eat your cooking.”“No, but why are you two together?” Catherine rubbed her brows, telling herself to calm down and be rational. “Isn’t she… Liam’s daughter?”“So you already know that Liam has a daughter?” Shaun’s tone carried a
Shaun swiftly started the car. Through the rear-view mirror, he saw Suzie snuggling up in Catherine’s arms.For a moment, he felt like the three of them were a family and he was bringing his wife and child out to go shopping.That feeling did not annoy him. On the contrary, he felt that his chest was filled to the brim.In the backseat, Catherine whispered into Suzie’s ear, “You little rascal. Aren’t you afraid of being exposed?”“I won’t be, Mommy. They all believe that I’m Uncle Liam’s daughter,” Suzie said softly, “That vicious woman went to the company to find my scummy dad in the morning. I don’t like her so I tricked him into coming out. Mommy, I’m helping you get payback.”“...”Catherine did not know whether to laugh or cry, but there was a sweetness in her heart.Her quick-witted daughter was really smart. “Fine. Stay away from that woman. You’re still small, so you don’t know how scary people can be. Mommy doesn’t want to lose you.”“It’s okay. Scummy dad likes me a l
Shaun’s gaze suddenly became complicated.He thought that even if Thomas did not compensate them, Sarah would, since she was a kind person. After all, she always acted guilty and innocent in front of him.Catherine ignored him and brought the groceries to the kitchen to cook.Suzie sat on the sofa and watched TV. Soon, the aroma wafted over from the kitchen.Shaun had not eaten lunch, so his stomach rumbled at the smell.40 minutes later, Catherine brought the dishes out.Shaun looked at the braised pork and sweet and sour ribs on the table, finding them inexplicably familiar.Catherine gave Suzie a portion. Shaun did not expect her to serve him a portion, so he went to get himself a plate. However, when he came, there was nothing left.“Catherine, you didn’t cook my portion?” His eyes widened.“You didn’t say you wanted to eat. Plus, I only agreed to cook for Suzie, not you. What? It’s already 3:00 p.m. Haven’t you eaten, Eldest Young Master Hill?”Shaun gritted his teeth. “
