Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
“Let me… think it over.” Catherine’s mind was in a mess. Actually, Wesley had a point there.
If she wanted to tell others that Lucas was her son, she had to find a legal father for him. With Shuan’s
personality, she would not be able to steer clear of him her whole life if he found out that Lucas was his
son.
“What’s there to consider about this?”
Disappointment clouded Wesley’s face. “Lucas is a very nice and sensible child. Although he doesn’t
say it, I know he feels upset whenever he can’t freely be with his mom like the other kids. He just
doesn’t say it out loud because he doesn’t want to put pressure on you.”
Catherine tightened her grip on the fork.
She knew what kind of child Lucas was, and his sensibility made her heart ache.
“Unless… you’re still undecided on being together with me, ” Wesley said suddenly.
Catherine was stunned.
Was she still undecided? Had she not moved over already?
She was even mentally prepared to have sex with him, but he was the one who chose to live apart all
along. Moreover, Shaun had been frequently appearing in her world these days. It made her very
annoyed.
“Wesley, you said it yourself that Lucas is sensible, so I have to ask Lucas for his opinion on this.”
Catherine found an excuse.
“Okay.” Wesley had no words to say. “Do you need me to go shopping with you in the evening? Do you
have anything you want to buy? You’ve been married to me for so long, yet I haven’t spent any money
on you.”
“No need. I have an important meeting to attend in the evening. ” What Catherine said was the truth.
“Alright, then. I’ll just go back to my company and work extra hours too. My wife is a workaholic
anyway.”
Wesley had said that to tease her, but Catherine felt increasingly guilty at those words.
That guilt overwhelmed her when she returned to her office and noticed Shaun was sleeping in her
bedroom.
“Shaun, who allowed you to fall asleep here? Go back.” Catherine pulled up Shaun angrily, but he did
not budge. It was as if there was a pillar rooted behind his tall figure.
Shaun opened his eyes in a blur. “Cathy, let me sleep for a while. I didn’t have enough rest last night.”
“You can return to your own home if you didn’t have enough rest. Why do you have to be here?”
Catherine said while gritting her teeth.
“Your bed has your scent. It helps me sleep peacefully.”
Shaun even buried his head in her pillow and sniffed it as he spoke. “It smells good.”
Catherine’s face flushed out of disgust at his shameless face. “Shaun, I’m begging you. I’m a married
woman. Your actions are causing great inconvenience to my marriage.”
“How did I inconvenience you? I even hid in the cupboard for your sake when Wesley came in just now.
” Shaun looked toward her with dimmed eyes
and said, “You know I was often locked in the cupboard by my sitter when I was young. I have a trauma
of cupboards…”
Catherine was taken aback. What he said was a fact.
For someone who was hurt in the cupboard before, entering the cupboard again required a lot of
courage indeed.
However, looking at his annoying, handsome face, she did not want to give in to him. “You were the
one who came and looked for me? You brought it upon yourself.”
“You’re right. For your sake, I’m willing to bring anything upon myself.”
Shaun suddenly sat up and started unbuttoning his shirt with one hand.
Seeing his chest getting exposed inch by inch, Catherine’s scalp tingled. “Shaun, you pervert. What are
you trying to do?”
