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 loved it a lot.
"Granny, I like it here very much. It’s full of my favorite dolls and the color pink. There’s even a slide. It'd be better if Lucas were here."
"Lucas?" Everyone was stunned once again.
Liam's heart trembled again. Then, he heard Suzie say, "He's my friend too."
"Oh." Everyone understood right away.
For most of the day, Liam felt as if his heart was in his mouth. He looked at Suzie as if he was looking at a little master.
Lea glanced at him. "Since you have a child now, come back and live in the manor. You should accompany her more and not just think about having fun outside."
