Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
Catherine’s words made Shaun feel at ease all of a sudden.
Despite knowing that he had a change of heart, he had still felt swamped by guilt all because of his
promise from back then. After Sarah returned, she managed to cure his illness, but he could not bring
himself to do it with her.
Nevertheless, Catherine was right.
Shaun and Sarah were merely in a relationship and they had never slept together. Previously, Shaun
sincerely wished to marry Sarah. If it were not for Lucifer’s appearance, he would have ended up
marrying Sarah.
He admitted that Sarah was pitiful, but he was not the one who contributed to her heartbreaking past.
Catherine then continued, “I’m not an unreasonable person anyway. If there were no one by Sarah’s
side, it’d be fine with me if you wanted to go and help her since you’re her ex-boyfriend. But someone’s
with her now and Sarah’s brother is in Canberra. If you plan to go there, I won’t give you a second
chance.”
With that, she opened the car door and directly got out while carrying Suzie.
“Fine, I’m not going there.”
Upon noticing that she was leaving, Shaun quickly undid his seat belt and went after her. He took Suzie
from her arms with a sparkle in his eyes. “So can you give me another chance tonight?”
Shaun began to push his luck. “After all, you were trying to control me just now.”
“When did I control you? I was just telling the truth.” Catherine started to lose her temper. If she had not
spent a long time lecturing Shaun, he would have gone to look for Sarah. How dare he ask such a
question.
“Are you mad? Are you jealous?”
Shaun’s mouth curved into a mischievous smile.
Even though she maintained an impassive face, he knew that she was concerned about him deep down.
“You’re overthinking it. I just don’t want things to b e like before when you kicked me to the curb and
divorced me immediately after we slept together. Shaun, all I want is a sense of security. I don’t want t o
always be the one who will be dumped at any moment.”
As soon as Catherine finished speaking, she walked forward without looking back.
At the sight of her black hair being blown by the night breeze and her fine curves, Shaun’s heart
somehow ached.
Shaun went after her and entered the house. Then, h e placed Suzie on the bed in her bedroom.
“Tomorrow, I’ll send Suzie to preschool. You don’t have to come and pick her up. ” Catherine tucked
Suzie in bed.
“Oh. ” Shaun’s eyes swept over the house. He raised his brows with a sense of wickedness. “I think I
might as well sleep here tonight. I can just sleep on the couch.”
“Are you dreaming?” After rolling her eyes, Catherine pushed him out of the bedroom harshly. “ Freya will
be back tonight. It’ll be awkward if you sleep here.”
“In that case, I… I can sleep on the couch in your bedroom.” Shaun threatened her with a low voice, “
Aren’t you afraid that I’ll go to the hospital and look for Sarah if you let me go?”
He did not expect this sentence to offend Catherine.
“If you want to look for her, that’s your business. It’s not like I’ve tied your legs together anyway.”
This time, she directly pushed him out of the main door and slammed it.
Shaun ruffled his short black hair in annoyance.
He blamed himself for offending her with his stupid remark.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Freya walking out of the elevator while humming a tune.
When their eyes met, Freya was taken aback. “ S- Shaun, why are you here again?”
What did she mean by ‘again’?
Shaun disliked the sight of Freya as she had ruined his opportunity to stay with Catherine.
“Isn’t your office in the States? When are you leaving?” Shaun asked nonchalantly.
“Leave?” Freya was stunned. “I’m not planning to leave. I’ll be staying in Canberra to work.”
Shaun’s head hurt at the thought of this third wheel who would continue to stay here.
He pulled a long face and asked, “Are you going to keep staying with Catherine?”
”Of course. We’re best friends, and we depend on each other…”
