Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
Catherine was resting in the garden. Aunty Yasmine had left to get a blanket for her.
The place she was sitting gave her the perfect view of Sherman Mountain.
The faint fragrance of summer engulfed her as the night breeze blew.
“Congratulations on your pregnancy.” Liam slowly approached her.
She did not even look at him.
“Hey, are you still mad at me? You’re the wife of Australia’s richest man.” He sat down next to her. “You
should be grateful to me. You would still be an underground lover if not for me.”
She glared at him, speechless. She had never met anyone more shameless than him.
Actually, she was no longer upset at him for setting her up last time. Too many things had happened
lately and there were too many people she was infuriated with.
He felt sorry upon seeing the scars on her face. “Um… I came to remind you to keep an eye out.”
“Huh?”
“On Shaun. I heard that men are easily seduced by other women when their wife is pregnant so you
have to keep an eye on him, haha,” he said half-jokingly.
“…”
“Um… I should leave soon. It’s quite windy here. You shouldn’t stay here for too long either.” He waved
his hand and turned around to leave.
She frowned. Liam came all the way out here to tell her that?
He was the second person today who reminded her to watch out.
Charity had said the same too, but who was she supposed to be careful of?
“What did he say to you?” Shaun noticed Liam’s receding silhouette when he walked over with a scarf.
His brows furrowed.
“Nothing.” She looked the other way.
“Don’t trust a word he says. I bet he’s still not happy about losing the position of president. He knows
you’re my weakness so he’ll try to sow discord between us.”
Then, he carried her into his arms. “You’ve been here long enough. Let’s go back inside to watch a
movie.”
“No.” She lowered her head, feeling torn. She did not want to stay in the bedroom all alone yet she also
could not forgive him for treating her with indifference lately.
“Women always say the opposite of what they want.”
He carried her into the theater room.
She had stayed here for a while now but this was the first time they were watching a movie here
together. Thinking about this made her sad. “Eldest Young Master Hill, you must’ve watched many
movies here with your blind dates or girlfriends.”
“I haven’t…” He was about to deny it but remembered that he had watched a movie with Melanie the first
time Catherine visited the villa.
The woman was jealous.
The corners of his lips twitched into a cheeky smile before he leaned in to give her a peck on the lips.
“Silly, I didn’t watch a movie with Melanie here last time. I was on my phone throughout and had no idea
what the movie was about.”
“I wasn’t being jealous. Leave me alone.” She suddenly felt embarrassed at the sight of his smug smile.
“I’m not going anywhere. Pick a film you like. I’ve prepared some walnuts for you. They’re good for the
children’s brain development.” So they would not be as gullible as their mother.
He did not say the last sentence out loud.
She looked at him and then the walnuts before nodding in agreement. “I think so too.”
It would be a disaster if the babies were as slow-witted as their father.
In the end, she chose a sci-fi film, which turned out to be pretty good.
Shaun fed her the tasty walnuts occasionally throughout the film. Catherine did not have an appetite
earlier but ended up consuming about eight of them.
