Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
Catherine glared at Shaun for a while, but in the end, she still followed him upstairs.
He put Suzie on the big bed in the master bedroom. “You can rest next door. I won’t sleep. I’ll stay here
with her.”
“Forget it. If I leave you here, you won’t know what to do if she has a fever again.”
Catherine rolled her eyes at him. “Leave me the thermometer. You sleep next door.”
“… Okay.”
Shaun nodded and turned to go out.
This was his bedroom, so Catherine did not dare to sleep on the bed. She stayed on the sofa at the side
and sent a text message to Wesley: [I have to work overtime at the company until early morning and
won’t go back tonight. I’m sorry.]
After sending it, her cheeks burned with guilt. She felt like a woman cheating on her husband.
However, when she saw Suzie’s innocent little face, she could not help it.
She sat for a long time until fatigue slowly hit her. She leaned back on the sofa and drifted to sleep.
Before she completely fell asleep, she heard the sound of the room door gently opening. She
immediately woke up but did not open her eyes.
She would not know what to say to Shaun if she woke up now, and secondly, she did not know what
Shaun was planning to do.
Then, the sound of footsteps stopped in front of her and a pair of arms held her up.
She quickly opened her eyes and stared at Shaun nervously and warily. “What are you doing? Put me
down.”
“I just wanted to carry you to the bed. It’s late. You need to rest.”
Shaun’s deep and dark eyes were firmly locked on her snowy little face.
“No need. Also… I’m not going to sleep on your bed, ” Catherine said with determination.
“How many times have you lied down on my bed already?” Shaun raised a sharp eyebrow. Even though
he tried to control it, when facing her, his face still instinctively revealed a hint of ambiguity.
Catherine’s face instantly heated up and she snapped at him, “That was before. I have a husband now.”
“What’s different? After you married him, weren’t you still on my bed on your wedding night?”
Shaun saw how her fair face was slowly turning red under the lights. Her breathtaking appearance made
him subconsciously blurt out these words.
“Shaun Hill, are you done?”
Catherine was extremely embarrassed, but there was a child in the room and she was afraid of waking
Suzie up. Even if she was angry, she had to lower her voice. “Why are you acting like this when you
already can’t do it? Can’t you behave?”
She suddenly targeted his weak spot. Shaun’s handsome face instantly paled.
Catherine bit her lip and suddenly became chagrined. It seemed she was too blunt. For a man, that was
his dignity, but she ended up attacking him where it hurt most.
“Since you know I can’t do it anymore, then you shouldn’t have anything to worry about. Even if I wanted
to… eat, I wouldn’t be able to eat you.” Shaun said weakly after a long time.
His words were too straightforward, and in the dead of night, Catherine still felt like she had been
sexually assaulted. “But you’re still a man—”
“I’m no longer a man.” Shaun interrupted her.
Catherine could not talk all of a sudden.
She looked up at him and blinked. Looking at the man’s despondent and stoic appearance, she suddenly
did not know what to say.
