Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
He refused to sleep in separate rooms. He could not stand it even if it was just for a day.
Catherine originally wanted to explain herself, but her heart was slightly moved at Old Madam Hill’s
words. She nodded in agreement. “I’m willing to move into the manor. Grandma is an experienced
person and has given birth to several children, so I think Grandma is right.”
“That’s right.” Old Madam Hill gave her an approving look.
For the first time, she was slightly satisfied with Catherine.
Shaun’s heavy eyes rested on her little face.
He knew what she was thinking. She wanted to avoid him and did not want to sleep with him.
“I disapprove.”
“It’s useless for you to disapprove,” Old Master Hill ordered, “In any case, the first twins of the Hill family
must be born healthily.”
Shaun, “…”
Damn it! He should not have told these two about the pregnancy.
When the two elders left, he glared unhappily at Catherine. “You did that on purpose.”
“Yeah.” Catherine looked up and said righteously, “Shaun Hill, your memory isn’t good, but I won’t forget
how the fetuses were injured. Maybe it’s safest for me to live in the manor now. At least I won’t have to
tolerate your friend’s warning, lest your illness deteriorates and it becomes my fault.”
A ray of cold light flashed in Shaun’s clear eyes.
He instantly understood that Chester and Rodney must have said something to her. Shaun had talked to
them before, but they had been friends for more than a decade, so they only wanted the best for him.
“I’m sorry…”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about. I just don’t think that I’m worth it. If your heart was full of me, I’d
shoulder all the responsibility. But you’re hiding so many people around you, and your relationship with
Shelley Langley is ambiguous. Why do I have to take responsibility for the condition of your illness? I
have to endure it even if I’m unhappy.”
Catherine vented and lay on the bed, not wanting to pay attention to him anymore.
She had truly gotten angry when Chester used Joel to threaten her.
…
The next morning.
The manor sent a driver to pick Catherine up.
The housekeeper arranged for her to stay in Shaun’s old room.
She had been in this room before, but it was quite deserted at that time. However, the floor was covered
with a cashmere carpet now, and there was also a TV and two chaise lounge chairs. The room was also
decorated with nice-smelling flowers.
“Why does this look different from when I stayed in it?” Shaun voiced his doubts.
“The old madam said that the previous room was too cold and isn’t suitable for pregnant women, so the
designer added a few things overnight.”
The housekeeper said, “Eldest Young Master Hill, your room is in the next building.”
“Why am I in the next building? I can just live next door,” Shaun gritted his teeth and said.
“No, the old madam said that she’s afraid you’ll sneak in in the middle of the night.”
“…”
Shaun was so angry he almost wanted to vomit blood. “Enough. I’ll sleep next door. This is my biggest
concession. Otherwise, I’ll bring her away directly.”
“…Very well.” The housekeeper was silent for a moment before agreeing helplessly.
In the afternoon, Catherine napped until 4:00 p.m.
Aunty Yasmine brought up a bowl of yogurt. After she finished eating it, she went for a walk in the
courtyard.
She had to admit that Hill Manor was huge, and the air here was very fresh.
She had not walked for long when she saw Valerie and Queenie coming back to the manor.
“Catherine Jones, how dare you show your face here?” Valerie blew up all of a sudden after seeing her.
