Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
Shaun hissed in pain, but his eyes and tone were bitter. “You praised another man.”
Catherine was speechless. “Did I say anything wrong? I used to think that Rodney was useless except
for his looks, but it turns out he has strong points too.”
“He has scolded you before…” Shaun gritted his teeth and reminded her. What was more depressing
than to wake up and hear the woman he liked praise another man?
“Have you scolded me any less?” Catherine reminded him. “You better not say that others are bad, or I’ll
bring up old scores again.”
Shaun silently buried her handsome face in her neck. “Babe, I’m hungry.”
Catherine chuckled. “What a coincidence. I’m hungry, too. I didn’t eat breakfast, and now my body is all
weak.”
“…I’ll cook for you.”
Shaun resigned himself and rubbed her little face. “
But it may not be as good as yours. Don’t shun it.”
“ If you really can’t, then just cook eggs. I’ll teach you.” Catherine sighed helplessly.
Under Catherine’s guidance, they had a simple breakfast. However, since she was too hungry, she felt
that Shaun’s trash-like cooking could barely fill their stomachs.
After they had eaten, Hadley called to ask about the company, to which Shaun said, “Bring some of my
clothes to Hackett Institute. I’ll be sleeping here in the future.”
Hadley replied, “Ahem. Okay.”
Catherine, however, snatched the phone away. “No need.”
Then, she hung up the call.
“Catherine Jones…” Shaun gritted his teeth.
“ I don’t want to live together for now. ” Catherine got up. “If there’s a need to spend the night, I’ll go to
your place. By the way, remember to hire a nanny. I don’t want to be your housekeeper.”
Shaun’s face darkened, and Catherine grinned. “Did I say anything wrong? My place is small, and
there’s no space for a nanny to live. If you move here, I’ll have to handle all your meals and clothes.
I’m sorry, but my status is much more valuable now, so I definitely won’t do anything that’ll hurt m y
delicate fingers. By the way, I have to enjoy whatever grand treatment Sarah used to enjoy.”
Shaun’s expression was grim, and just as he was about to open his mouth, Catherine pressed her
slender fingers on his lips. “Don’t talk to me about sacrificing for love. I can love you, but I want to love
myself more.”
“Okay. We’ll do whatever you say.” Shaun did not know whether to laugh or cry. He had never intended
to treat her badly. “ I’ll hire a nanny and a maid. I’ll call Aunty Yasmine over, so why don’t you come to my
place and stay?”
“No. There should be some occasional distance between two people. We’ll get tired if we’re always
together.”
Catherine shook her head resolutely.
“Babe, I won’t get tired of you, ” Shaun coaxed softly.
Catherine looked at him weirdly. “No, I’ m saying I’ll get tired of you.”
Shaun was at a loss for words.
What did she say? She would get tired of him?
Were her feelings not supposed to grow stronger the more she was with him?
Shaun took a deep breath. Having dealt a blow, his handsome face now looked extremely unpleasant,
and he gritted his teeth. “Catherine Jones, I’ll give you one chance to rephrase your words.”
“I didn’t say anything wrong… Ah…”
Before Catherine could finish her sentence, she was turned around by Shaun and spanked on her butt
twice.
Although it was not heavy, she was still furious. “ Shaun Hill, how dare you hit me.”
