Lucas said in a low voice, "You guys are deceiving us kids. I heard that when parents hug each other to sleep, they'll easily have a new baby.”
“You guys want a new baby?" Suzie was stunned for a moment before her eyes reddened. "Isn't having Lucas and me enough? You still want a new baby? I don’t approve of it."
Catherine and Shaun were awkward and speechless.
"Lucas, who did you hear that from? Your mom and I were just sleeping," Shaun explained while the
corners of his mouth twitched. "Having both of you as third wheelers is enough. We don't need another one."
"When did we become third wheelers?" Suzie was confused.
"It means we are always in their faces." Lucas said," We’re disturbing his and Mom’s alone time."
"That's too much." Suzie was furious. "We didn't even hate you for snatching our mom. Go away."
The little girl crawled over and pushed Shaun away, sitting in Catherine's embrace. "Mom, you guys have slept for a very long time. When are we going to the hospital to visit Granny?”
Catherine looked at the time. It was already 3:00 p.m."
Let’s go now."
When they were about to depart, Shaun received a call from the police station. "It seems like Mason has confessed to some new offenses, so the police have asked me to go over. You can go ahead with the children first. I’ll arrange for Hadley to escort you guys."
Catherine nodded.
Once Shaun arrived at the police station, the chief, who was in charge of the case, gave him a copy of Mason's statement.
After reading through it, Shaun remained silent for a long time.
