Shaun shuddered.
If someone else said those words, he would not believe it. However, Suzie was just an innocent two-year-old child. She was at an age where she would not lie, so it must be true.
He never thought that Sarah would say such a thing.
Did she blame it on Suzie just because he reprimanded her a little during dinner?
He was unfamiliar with this side of Sarah.
All along, the Sarah he knew was a gentle, considerate, kind, and lively woman.
He thought that they would have children in the future, so Sarah would definitely be very patient toward children. However, after bringing Suzie here today, he realized that Sarah had no patience with children at all.
That was fine, but how could she say such cruel words to a child who had just lost her mother?
Did Sarah change, or had he never truly understood her?
"Suzie, tell Uncle. How did you fall in the bathroom just now?" Shaun asked in a low voice.
Suzie bit her small mouth, and fear flashed across her eyes.
"You have to tell the truth. Uncle likes honest children." Shaun’s eyes were serious, i
"Well... I was really cold when I came out of the bathtub, so I wanted Aunty to hug me. But Aunty probably minded that I got her clothes wet, so she pushed me down to the floor.”
Near the end, Suzie's tears streamed down her face again. "Uncle, please don't blame Aunty. She’ll dislike me even more. I... I miss Aunty Cathy. She really likes me. I don't like it here.”
"Okay, I’ll bring you to Aunty Cathy. Don’t cry.”
Shaun picked her up and headed out.
