Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
Shaun had just finished speaking when his phone rang.
When he took it out to see, Catherine saw the word ‘Grandmother’ on the screen.
Shaun went out with the phone. “Grandma, did something happen?”
“Can’t I call you if nothing happened? What are you busy with all day long? You haven’t been back to the
old residence for several days. Your mother is back, so you can sleep at the manor at night.”
Shaun glanced at the bedroom door and refused. “I’m not free.”
“You weren’t free for the company meeting, and you weren’t free when Melanie asked you out on a date.
What the hell are you doing?” Old Madam Hill said angrily, “You must come back. The whole family will
have a meal together.”
Shaun sneered, “Is it really just a meal? Or do you want to force me to bring Liam back?”
Old Madam Hill sighed. “Shaun, these years, it was because your grandfather and I kept applying
pressure that we’ve kept your mother from managing the company’s affairs, letting you and Liam be in
the company. Everyone knows that Liam isn’t your opponent at all, and we’re all helping you. If you
provoke Lea, however, you won’t have it as easy in the future when she returns to the company.”
“…”
Shaun sneered. “Fine, I’ll let him come back.”
“That’s good.” Old Madam Hill was very pleased. “When will you come back to have dinner with me?”
“I’m not free for now.”
Old Madam Hill was angry. “You’re not even willing to accompany me for dinner. Are you sleeping with a
woman out there? Don’t think I’m senile. I heard that you took a woman to Oasis International and stayed
the night.”
Shaun laughed coldly. It must have been Melanie who snitched. Only she saw it that day, and everyone
around him knew how to keep their mouths shut. “Isn’t that normal behavior for men?”
“Don’t you still have Melanie?”
“I’m not interested in her. I’m hanging up now.”
Shaun ended the call.
The next morning when Catherine went downstairs, she saw an additional person in the mansion. It was
Aunty Yasmine, whom she had met in Hill Manor before.
Aunty Yasmine smiled kindly. “Eldest Young Master Hill transferred me here from the old residence to
take care of you.”
“Thank you, Aunty Yasmine.” Catherine was slightly awkward and embarrassed. After all, Aunty Yasmine
knew her identity and might look down on her in her heart.
Aunty Yasmine could read her thoughts and said naturally, “I practically raised Eldest Young Master Hill.
I’m the person he trusts the most in the old residence, so he must think highly and care for you a lot if
he’s asked me to take care of you.”
Catherine smiled wryly to herself. She was just a shameful mistress.
Soon, Shaun changed his clothes and came out. They sat together for breakfast.
Aunty Yasmine’s breakfast was delicious and Catherine liked it a lot, but Shaun did not eat much.
Aunty Yasmine sighed. “Eldest Young Master Hill, you can’t eat so little all day. You should eat more, or
your body will give out.”
Catherine paused.
He was not eating? He could clearly eat two or three bowls of rice per meal, but he did seem to have lost
a lot of weight after returning to Canberra.
“Aunty Yasmine, I’m not hungry.”
Shaun had just finished speaking when his phone rang again. This time, he answered it and suddenly
jolted up, his expression shifting. “Okay, I’ll go back to the company right away.”
“Aunty Yasmine, make her more delicious food at noon to nourish her body.” Shaun walked to Catherine
to touch her head before turning to leave.
Catherine did not know what happened and only saw that he was in a hurry.
After breakfast, a piece of news popped up on her phone. The second young master of the Hill family
encountered danger in Country F and was currently missing.
News about the Hill family was always the most talked about in the country.
