Suzanne Yates and Austin Hall novel Chapter 396

Emma pointed at her leg and then at her foot. "Here, and here—"

She couldn't even finish her sentence. In the end, the cherry even fell out of her mouth and onto the floor.

This made Felicia burst out laughing.

Emma stared at the cherry that rolled onto the floor, dumbfounded. She turned behind to look at Yasmine. Pouting miserably, she said, "Mommy, my fruit fell."

Yasmine had no choice but to go up and give her another cherry. "I told you not to lie. Look, even the fruit didn't want to be eaten by a child who lies."

As such, Emma put her feet together instantly. With a cherry in her hand, she looked at Felicia and said meekly, "Grandma, my leg is alright now."

This made everyone burst out in laughter.

The first thing Austin heard after stepping into the house was their laughter.

Seeing that Austin was home, Emma darted toward him immediately with her arms open wide. Enthusiastically, she greeted, "Uncle Austin, carry me."

Austin bent forward and picked Emma up. Nuzzling her face against his shoulder, she remarked, "Uncle Austin, you smell really nice."

Austin gave Emma a tap on her forehead. "Stop squirming about."

Nevertheless, Emma refused to listen to him. The more he asked her not to squirm about, the more she did so. She tugged at his necktie and then at his collar.

Yasmine stifled a laugh when she saw how gloomy Austin looked. Emma was probably the only one who was capable of keeping the frigid Austin in check.

Austin strode toward the couch. Right when he sat down with Emma, the smile on Timothy's face was replaced with a frosty expression.

Of all times, Emma tilted her head and asked Austin, "Uncle Austin, why didn't Aunt Suzanne come by with you?"

Timothy's expression turned even darker.

Yasmine felt a throbbing in between her brows. It was time to address the trickiest issue.

Timothy gave Yasmine a quick, sidelong glance. Pointing toward the dining room, he raised his voice. "Having a son like him, of course, I'd end up arguing with him. He still isn't getting married even at his age."

Timothy was disregarding Suzanne completely.

Knitting her brows together, Yasmine fixed her eyes on Timothy. "Dad, who is Suzanne to you, then?"

Austin was clearly already married. Yet Timothy wasn't willing to acknowledge Suzanne.

Truth be told, Yasmine used to be on the same page as Timothy previously. However, her perception of Suzanne had now changed entirely. A woman like Suzanne was too good for their family.

Staring at Yasmine, Timothy flew off the handle. "She's not good enough for the Hall family. What right does she have to be Austin's wife? Austin is meant to take over all of the Hall family's businesses, so the woman he marries has to be capable of helping him out."

Yasmine used to be against Suzanne in the past. Now, however, she viewed Suzanne differently.

As such, Timothy became even more displeased about Suzanne. He couldn't understand how Suzanne ended up bewitching Austin, Yasmine, and even the youngest in the family, Emma.
