Shaun, who was snubbed again, could not find the words to reply.
He felt sullen, really sullen.
However, Catherine had already ignored him. When she walked out, Suzie had finished eating and burped. "It’s delicious. I feel like sleeping now."
"You little piggy. You have to brush your teeth first." Catherine took out a brand-new children's toothbrush and toothpaste from her bag. 1
Shaun was shocked. "Why do you have that in your bag?"
"I bought it downstairs earlier. Since you brought Suzie here so late, I guessed she would be sleeping here."
Catherine then led Suzie to the bathroom.
"Wait, where’s my toothbrush?" Shaun said, "I don’t feel comfortable leaving Suzie here alone. I'm staying too."
"Sorry, but I don't allow men to stay overnight, and I don't want the Neeson siblings to destroy my home again," Catherine said bluntly.
"Sarah... doesn't know I'm here," Shaun said vaguely."
I'll sleep in the guest room. In any case, I can’t leave Suzie behind."
"Aunty, just let Uncle sleep here," Suzie pleaded softly. "I want him to stay too."
Catherine secretly glared at her, and Suzie lowered her head and stuck her tongue out.
"Fine. If you want to sleep here, you can sleep on the sofa. Next door is Freya's room. She has gone back to Melbourne, but all her stuff is on the bed, so I don’t think you’ll want to sleep there."
After that, Catherine took Suzie into her room and closed the door.
Shaun pushed open the door of the second bedroom and gave up at a glance. He never thought a woman who looked so neat would sleep on such a messy bed. I t looked like a dog's kennel.
In the end, he chose to nest on the sofa.
