Looking at Shaun's handsome face, Catherine was too hesitant to tell him that she was about to go out again.
"Come down and play with me." Shaun extended his hand to pull her through the window.
"Uh... Shaunny, I just received a call and I have to go out again," Catherine said reluctantly, "It's quite important."
Against all her expectations, Shaun did not kick up a fuss. He just blinked his eyes in despair. "More important than me?"
His voice was hoarse, and his eyes were red. It felt as though he would be in tears if Catherine said yes.
Speechless, Catherine replied with a gentle tone, "Of course, you're more important, but I can’t stay by your side all the time. Look, there are so many people in our family. I need to make money to support our family and also buy sweets for you."
"You can ask for money from my mommy. She gave birth to me, so it's right to spend her money. I don't want to spend your money," Shaun said seriously after some thought.
Deep down, Catherine took pity on Lea. Feeling
amused, she responded, "But I need to make money to pay for Lucas and Suzie’s school fees.”
"You can ask their daddy to pay." Shaun snorted. "Why must you shoulder the burden alone?"
Catherine choked.
'Dude, you’re Suzie and Lucas's daddy.’
Speaking of this, how did he learn that parents had to share their responsibilities together when she had only been away for a while?
"Where did you learn this from?" Catherine was baffled as she remembered that she did not teach him this.
"I learned it from the TV when I watched it with Granny just now."
