Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
“Also, you must not spend time with Sarah alone except when you go for treatment. I know Rodney and
Chester are on friendly terms with her, so they’ll often meet each other. If the four of you meet up next
time, you can bring me along.”
Catherine buried her face in Shaun’s chest with an endearing look.
It had been a long while since she behaved meekly in front of him. He became soft-hearted and
confused in an instant. “But Rodney and Chester—”
“I know they dislike me, but that’s okay. I can bear with it as long as I get to prevent my husband from
being snatched away by another woman.”
Catherine lifted her head and blinked her charming large eyes. “It’s because you’re too handsome. I love
you.”
“Babe, I’ll listen to you.” Shaun’s eyes lit up. He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
He sighed deep down as he was completely dominated by the woman. In this case, how could anything
possibly happen between Sarah and him? Anyway, it did not matter as long as she was happy. If she
wanted to come along, so be it.
…
8:40 a.m.
Shaun walked to the dining room with his hand around Catherine’s waist.
Catherine’s mouth was slightly swollen, and her cheeks were scarlet.
Having experienced such things herself, Old Madam Hill was under no illusion about what had happened
to them this morning. She was both relieved and concerned. “This is how the two of you should behave
as a couple. Having said that, you should watch out. The doctor said that three months prior—”
“We didn’t, Granny. You don’t have to keep reminding me. I’m not a child.” Shaun’s face darkened after
he heard those words, while Catherine wished the ground would swallow her up.
Deep down, Liam was expressing his disapproval while having his breakfast. Shaun and Catherine were
just having a blazing row yesterday, yet they were on good terms today like two peas in a pod.
Liam wondered if Shaun was an expert at calming women or if Catherine was an expert at dealing with
men. Anyhow, this couple were experts.
“By the way, I heard the three of you came back together last night,” Old Master Hill suddenly said.
“Cough, cough.” Liam nearly choked on his sandwich.
Shaun glanced at him nonchalantly. “Cathy missed me, so Liam brought her over to visit me yesterday.
We had supper together before returning home.”
With that, Catherine stepped on his foot.
Missed him? Ha! How shameless he was to tell such a lie. In truth, she had gone to check if he was in
bed with Sarah.
Shaun glanced at her with an aggrieved look. However, Catherine looked away and ignored him.
Old Master Hill did not see through them and nodded with a sense of relief. “I didn’t expect that you’d go
for supper with Liam.”
Liam snorted. “It was Sister-in-law who requested it, or I wouldn’t have had supper with him.”
Old Madam Hill squinted her eyes. She was pleased that Catherine had managed to reconcile the
brothers. “That’s great. As brothers, you guys should unite at this point. Fate has tied you guys by blood,
so you should cherish your bond forever.”
Shaun and Liam both pulled long faces. They did not cherish their bond at all.
After breakfast, Catherine said, “Granny, Shaun’s psychologist will be coming to the manor to treat him
these days. Where do you think the treatment should be done? By the way, I think you know the
psychologist as well. She’s Sarah Langley Neeson.”
Bang.
The spoon in Old Madam Hill’s hand dropped into the bowl. She asked in agitation, “Isn’t she dead?”
“No, she’s back. We were mistaken before this,” Shaun explained impassively.
