Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
Lea was momentarily stunned, but after some hesitation, she nodded. Given that her sons were not on
friendly terms, she hoped that Suzie would act as a bridge between them. “Alright, then.”
At the preschool entrance.
By the time Shaun arrived, the kids had not yet been dismissed. He was dressed in a blue shirt and a
pair of creaseless, white casual pants. Seeing his tall and elegant figure, the security guard at the gate
subconsciously showed his respect.
While most of the kids in this preschool had wealthy parents, it was rare to see a parent like him who
exuded a strong sense of authority.
“Sir, may I know which kid you’re here for?”
“I’m here for Susan Jones, ” Shaun replied nonchalantly.
“She’s in the nursery class. The nursery class is having an outdoor activity now.”
The security guard courteously led him into the compound. In less than a minute, they arrived at
the place where the outdoor activity was being carried out.
A group of kids was playing happily in the spacious compound.
Shaun caught sight of Suzie within seconds due to her striking pink outfit, and she was the cutest and
prettiest one among those girls.
When he was about to approach Suzie, he suddenly saw her jumping off the slide and holding the hand
of a little boy in a white uniform.
Suzie forcefully pulled the little boy’s hand and stomped her feet coquettishly. “Lucas, do you want to go
on the seesaw with me?”
“No, I don’t like it.” The boy looked cool and innocent from the back.
“No way. I just want you to play with me.” Suzie pulled the boy’s hand without intending to let it go.
Shaun’s handsome face darkened. He could already tell that Suzie was the kind who easily fell for
people with good looks. He was previously worried that she would get into a relationship at an early age.
However, he did not expect that she would hold a boy’s hand coquettishly in the first few days of
preschool.
He turned around, planning to teach her that it was improper for boys and girls to have physical contact
with each other.
“Suzie.” He strode toward her.
Suzie and Lucas were both taken aback.
“Uncle Shaun.” Suzie promptly ran toward Shaun and blocked his way.
Lucas seized the opportunity to flee. In the blink of an eye, he had sneaked into the slide tunnel.
Shaun frowned. “Is he your new friend here? Why did he run away the moment he saw me?”
“He doesn’t know you, so why should he stay here and say hi to you?” Suzie tilted her head. “What’s
more, you probably scared him away with your authoritative voice just now. Uncle Shaun, why is it you
who came to pick me up today?”
“Your dad is away on a business trip, so I came to pick you up. Let’s go.” Shaun extended his hand
toward her.
“Alright. I’ll let my teacher know and take my bag.”
Suzie jumped around and held Shaun’s hand as they headed to the classroom to take her bag.
When the teacher handed Suzie to Shaun, her heart raced at the sight of Shaun’s attractive looks.
“Miss, how is Suzie’s performance?” Shaun suddenly asked. He thought that Liam was irresponsible, so
he felt the need to find out more about Suzie of his own accord.
“Great. Suzie is a bubbly girl. She has already made some good friends on her first day here, and she
has a particularly close relationship with Lucas,” the teacher responded with a grin.
“Lucas?” Shaun frowned, wondering why Lucas’s parents would give him such a name.
“Let’s leave now, Uncle Shaun.” Feeling uneasy, Suzie immediately pulled him away for fear that he
would catch sight of Lucas.
“Mm. ” Only after Shaun carried Suzie and left did she heave a sigh of relief. “ Suzie, was Lucas the one
you were holding hands with just now?” Shaun asked all of a sudden.
