?Chapter 612:


    “Gathering details on Nancy Chase was quite easy,” Sean continued. “I’ve heard from T that the people at the orphanage are quite fond of her; they wouldn’t have supported her learning various skills otherwise.”


    Phillip felt sympathy for Nancy’s challenging background. He might have viewed her more favorably if she didn’t cry so often. In fact, he found himself feeling more empathy toward Susanna.


    “Mr. Scott, you’ll be traveling to Silverdale soon. May I stay behind?” Phillip asked anxiously, gripping the steering wheel while waiting at the traffic light.


    Sean nced up. “Why do you want to stay?”


    Phillip replied, “I’d like to look after Susanna.”


    “My parents will be looking after her. You are my personal assistant, Phillip.”


    Was this a denial? Disappointment was evident on Phillip’s face. It seemed unlikely that Sean would agree to let him stay. He was responsible for managing Sean’s schedule, and they were seldom apart.


    “Understood,” Phillip replied, his voice calm and controlled, hiding his unwillingness.


    Sean was correct. Susanna’s parents were perfectly capable of taking care of her. Phillip reminded himself there was no real need for him to stay. But before Susanna’s parents returned, he had believed that he didn’t need to care for her. Yet, upon seeing Nancy, his concern for Susanna escted.


    Susanna could truly receive the peaceful care she needed under those circumstances. Phillip wasn’t sure, so he suggested staying to look after her. However, Sean had coldly turned him down.


    After some time, Sean spoke up. “Phillip, could you find another assistant to apany me to Silverdale? I’m going there not just for Norah, but also to handle some business.”

    Phillip was slightly puzzled. “Mr. Scott, are you suggesting that I could stay?”


    Seanughed softly. “Yes, find anotherpetent assistant toe with me to Silverdale. You may stay.” He paused for a moment before continuing, “I’m still concerned about leaving Susanna alone in Glophia.” He felt that someone needed to be there for Susanna, especially with Nancy present, as he now saw his mother as unreliable.


    Ka seemed unable to recognize her own daughter’s distress, performing even worse than a stranger would. Knowing Phillip would be there gave Sean some peace of mind.


    Phillip and Susanna had grown up together since childhood. Phillip would certainly take excellent care of her.
