Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
“If you weren’t useful to me, I would’ve broken up with a pretentious woman like you a long time ago.”
Chester warned her sternly, “You better stay put from now on and shut your mouth. If not, don’t even
think about being cast in a movie and making a comeback.”
With a pale face, Cindy nodded her head obediently.
Catherine had utterly ruined her reputation the last time. Besides appearing in some variety shows in the
past few months, she had yet received a casting offer for a new movie. As such, she was counting on
Chester.
“Chester, I have something to say… But I don’t know whether I should say it or not…” She stammered.
“If you think you shouldn’t, then shut your mouth,” Chester scolded.
“No. I just find it puzzling.” Cindy gritted her teeth. She had to finish her sentence. “Young Master Hill had
hurt Catherine so cruelly in the past. He put her on house arrest and caused her to miscarry. He even
sent her to the mental hospital. If I were a woman, I wouldn’t forgive him at all. But why is she suddenly
… back together with him again? Doesn’t she feel uncomfortable?”
“What are you trying to say?” Chester’s eyes narrowed.
Cindy was startled. “I’m afraid that Catherine is now trying to take revenge on Young Master Hill. This is
just my instinct as a woman. I’m not trying t o frame her intentionally. I’m just scared that
Young Master Hill will get hurt once he falls too deep in the relationship.”
“Go and order some food.” Chester shot her an icy glance.
“Okay.” Cindy nodded and ran out in a hurry to call the waiter.
Chester took a drag on his cigarette. He found it quite weird as well after Cindy mentioned it.
9:00 p.m.
A sports car was parked at the parking lot of Hackett Institute.
Catherine undid her seat belt. Just as she was about to get down the car, Shaun suddenly grabbed her.
His throat moved, but he did not know what to say.
They were having a good time during the meal. However, they became silent after Cindy came and
messed things up.
“Cathy, I’m sorry…” Shaun was filled with regret. If he knew that he would fall in love with her, he would
never have been so ruthless back then.
“Do you still hate me?”
“It’d be a lie if I said I don’t hate you. ” Catherine’s eyes trembled. There was a hint of bitterness in her
eyes. “Whenever I think about those two children when I was overseas, I wanted to chew your meat off
desperately. When I came back, I was determined to make you guys suffer. But when you forced me to
get a divorce, I realized I was still powerless to go against you guys. And now you’re here, wooing me. I
feel conflicted and anxious.
Sometimes I want to get back together with you again, but sometimes I’m really scared…”
Shaun pulled her into his embrace before she could finish her sentence. He hugged her tightly. “It won’t
happen anymore. Trust me. I’ll never hurt you again. I screwed up last time, Cathy. Let’s have a pair of
twins again in the future, okay?”
Catherine chuckled with her eyes downcast. She sounded helpless. “Do you think it’s that easy to have
twins?”
“Then, we’ll have two kids. Our daughter will surely be as adorable as Suzie. ” Somehow, when Shaun
said that, he suddenly longed to have a child that belonged to them both.
“Suzie…”
Catherine found it hilarious. Suzie was his daughter from the start.
However, she would never let Shaun find out. A person like him did not deserve to be a child’s father.
“We’ll talk about this again next time.” She looked up. “You didn’t eat much tonight. Are you hungry? I
can go upstairs and make you some risotto.”
Shaun’s eyes lit up. He thought remembering the past would make her upset. He, too, was very anxious,
but he did not expect her to still care for his stomach.
Especially when she invited him up on a night like that, he did not feel like going back.
Once they were upstairs, Catherine used yesterday’s leftover rice and made risotto for Shaun. There
were also ham, corn, and vegetables in it.
The whole room was filled with the fragrance of the food. Shaun devoured the whole plate of risotto. He
used to complain that she made him risotto because she was too lazy to deal with him. However, he was
not picky at all that day. Having something to eat was good enough.
