“Thank you, Mr. Costner, ” Cate said as she sobbed.
Titus’ heart felt uncomfortable hearing that. He exuded a dark and chilly aura.
He lowered his head and looked at the little girl in his arms, whose face was tear-streaked. Her small face was pink and round. She was wearing a pink princess dress. She was so cute that it could even make a cold man like him go soft-hearted.
However, there was someone who was cruel enough to harm this child.
That person even wanted to take her life. Moreover, that person was his wife.
Titus found it unbelievable. Why did Sheryl, who was so lovely in the past, become like this?
“Don’t cry, you’re okay now. I’ll bring you to where your mom is.” Titus patted Suzie’s head. He secretly placed his hand at the back of her head and plucked a few strands of hair.
“It hurts.” Suzie hugged her head.
“I’m sorry. Grandpa’s hand was caught in your hair.” Titus calmly put the hair into his pocket.
“Grandpa?” Suzie widened her eyes. She even forgot she was crying. “Uncle, you’re so handsome. You’re as handsome as my dad. Your eyes are blue too. Calling you ¡®Grandpa’ would make you seem too old.”
Titus was amused by her words. “According to seniority, you do have to call me ¡®Grandpa’.”
“Then I’ll call you ¡®Handsome Grandpa’,” Suzie said as she lifted her gaze.
“Okay.” Titus pinched her pinkish little face. He had never interacted with a little girl before. He unconsciously asked, “Do you want to have candy?” Suzie shuddered, her face turning pale. “No, no. I don’t dare to eat candy anymore. If I hadn’t wanted to eat candy, I wouldn’t have gotten kidnapped. I wouldn’t have been almost hit by a car last time either.”
“Hit by a car?” Titus narrowed his eyes.
“Mm.” When Suzie recalled that incident, fear flashed across her petite face. “It was also because… I wanted to have cake. Then… Then a car came flying … because someone hit it. Luckily, Dad was amazing. He saved Lucas and me…”
“Who hit the car?” Titus’ brows were knitted together in a tight frown.
“Lucas said it’s Meanie Wesley,” Suzie said angrily, “He’s a bad guy.”
“Meanie Wesley?” Titus raised his eyebrows.
“Mm.” Suzie nodded her head firmly. Her fists were flying around as she was outraged. “In the past… he was nice to us. But… It was all fake. Hmph, he’s a liar. He even beat Mom up. He also had an affair… Disgusting! “
“How does a little kid like you know so much?” Titus asked. “Your dad and mom told you these things?”
“Lucas told me.” Suzie pouted. “He’s just older than me by a few minutes, but… he knows just a little bit more than me…”
Titus finally understood.
Cate must have given birth to a pair of twins— a boy and a girl. Lucas must be her brother. “He knows quite a lot then.”
“Just so-so.” Suzie was not very convinced. “He’s also a little stupid sometimes. He was tricked badly by Meanie Wesley. He even… wanted him… to be our dad.”
Suzie was stammering, but Titus understood her words.
That Meanie Wesley she was talking about must be Wesley Sanderson.
Children would not lie. Moreover, Cate had not taught her children to say these things. It was also a pure coincidence that he rescued Suzie today. There was no way Cate and Shaun had planned to talk about these things in front of the children beforehand.
There was only one possibility—everything Suzie said was true.
“Suzie, where’s your dad?” Titus’ azure eyes looked gentle.
“Daddy…” Suzie’s eyes suddenly reddened. She sniffled and said, “He became stupid. He’s even calling me his sister now.”
Titus asked, “What happened?”
” I don’t know. ” Suzie lowered her head. She was clearly upset.
Titus rubbed her head and pressed his lips tightly together.
Half an hour later.
A car arrived at the gate of the Costner family’s villa.
The door of the sedan opened, and Suzie ran out of the car. She flung herself into Cate’s embrace while crying. “Mommy, I was so scared.”
“It’s okay, darling.” Cate hugged Suzie tightly, her heart throbbing in pain. “Mommy’s here. Let me have a good look at you.”
She let go of Suzie and checked her body nervously.
Luckily, aside from her dress that got slightly dirty, and her braids that were a little messy, Suzie was not hurt. However, the marks on her hands and legs showed she had been tied up with a rope.
“Tell me what happened. ” Cate’s voice could not help but waver slightly.
“Mommy, those bad guys…put me into a bag. It was so scary.” Suzie appeared terrified as she cried. “They said… they’d throw me into a pond.”
Cate’s heart trembled. She could not imagine what would have happened if Titus had been slightly late. Her child would have been thrown into a pond and drowned alive.
That image made her incomprehensibly angry. Had those people lost all of their humanity?
What made her more disappointed was knowing the person behind the scenes who gave the orders.
Cate desperately wanted Rosabella to die. She hated Sheryl too.
Although Sheryl was her biological mother, she still hated her.
It was okay for Sheryl not to like Cate. It was forgivable that she was deceived and instigated by Rosabella. However, if she condoned Rosabella kidnapping Cate’s child, Cate would never forgive her.
That was because it would mean that Sheryl was evil by nature.
“Suzie, I’m sorry. I didn’t protect you well. I’ll never let anything happen to you again in the future.” Cate looked at her daughter intently and added silently, ¡®Even if I have to risk going to jail, I must send Rosabella, Wesley, and Sarah to jail.’
That way, her children would be able to grow up safely.
Even if she had to lose her freedom for the rest of her life and be unable to stay by Shaun’s side, she had to protect her children.
Titus looked at the mother and daughter with complicated feelings.
He was someone who had walked on both the bright and dark paths before, especially in places like Neah Bay. He had taken many lives with his hands, but he would never hurt innocent women and children.
He had also taught his son that men should be magnanimous.
However, at that moment, he felt like he was a murderer.
Their appearance had caused Cate’s perfect family to be in distress every day.
“Thank you, Mr. Costner. ” Cate carried Suzie and looked at Titus, who had a large build.
“There’s no need to thank me,” Titus said as his indifferent glance swept across the security guards.
He had asked Nathan to send these people over to protect them. Initially, he was worried that the mastermind behind the scenes would harm Sheryl. He did not expect that these guards would become Rosabella’s shield instead.
Cate noticed Titus’ gaze. She took a deep breath and said, “You’re right. However, while I’m thankful, I’m curious how you got to know about this matter and was able to save my daughter in time.”
Titus’ dark gaze set on Cate.
Cate bit her lip and said, “I’m not suspecting you. I’m just wondering if it were the people on your side who did it?”
“Go back.” Titus did not reply to her and headed inside.
However, Cate blocked him. “Mr. Costner, I must go in today. Suzie might be okay now, but what about tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? I have two children, and the person I love has become a retard now. I’m the only one who can protect them. You have a family too. You should understand my feelings.”
Titus halted his steps. He lowered his head and gazed at the woman in front of him.
He was too tall, making Cate appear very short. Her frame was petite, and her beautiful, stunning face had become a lot more gaunt recently. However, she was standing upright, which reminded people of a sail. Even if she was weak, she would still send the people she loved to their destination.
Cate added, “Since you rescued Suzie, that means you believe in the words I said before. To be honest, I’m not sure how deeply you love your wife. Maybe you’re accepting of Rosabella because of Sheryl. However, love should not be used as a blade to side with evil.”
