Chapter 809 The House of The Qu Family (1/2)

Once Carla was back in her room, she called Terence and listened to the phone ring. After all these years, she still felt the same anticipation she felt when they'd first started going out.

Terence was quite considerate to her these days. Usually he wouldn't inform her about his whereabouts or ask her much about her own day...but he was now changing and being kinder and sweeter to her.

The next day, Sean had come home last night. It was a little late when he came back and everyone was already asleep, so he didn't disturb them.

In the morning, Sally got up quite early. Carla served breakfast for her before telling her Sean was back. She knew she wouldn't finish it and directly run to him if she told her. When she was almost done with her bowl of fruit loops, Carla quietly spoke, ”By the way, Sally...Sean is here.””He is?” Sally asked instantly, jumping out of her chair.

Before Carla could say anything more, Sally had already sprinted to his room. He was still sleeping as he had gotten back quite late.

Half-asleep, he felt something creep up his quilt. The moment he opened his eyes, he was met with Sally's big, watery eyes, blinking quickly and looking at him with the most innocent adoration.

”Uncle Sean, why do you have a beard?”

That was the first thing Sally asked him. She knew her father had a beard and hence thought only fathers could have beards. Sean didn't have any facial hair before and now that he did...Sally found it fascinating.

Sean's mouth broke into a smile at the little one's curiosity. He got up and pulled her up in his arms, placing her on his lap. ”Because I am a man and men grow beards when they grow up.”

”So does it mean only when you have a beard are you a man, uncle?”

Sally giggled and rolled over in his arms. Her ponytail, that had been tied perfectly by one of the house helps, was now completely disheveled.

”Not really...don't you like it? When I grow a little older I will be able to protect you and your mother...maybe in three to five years,” said Sean, gently pinching her chubby cheeks, smiling at her lovingly.

”Really? What else will you do when you grow up?” Sally asked, her eyes wide with curiosi

eshold.
