Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
“Dad, I didn’t marry Wesley because I loved him. I might have liked him a little, but it was more so
because I was moved. He had done so much for me, so I wanted to give him happiness. I thought he
was worthy of my dependence.”
Catherine bowed her head bitterly. “Only recently did I realize that I might not understand him very well. I
often feel tired and stressed when I’m with him. Of course, it’s also because I have great responsibilities.”
Joel sighed deeply. He had also married a woman he did not love, so he understood her feelings well.
“Fine, do what you want. I’m willing to support you unconditionally. Even if you remain unmarried and
stay at home for life, I won’t dislike you. Besides, a man who would raise a hand against a woman is not
a good man.”
Joel was the protective kind. He used to like Wesley before, but since Wesley had hit his daughter, he no
longer liked him.
He did not care if his daughter had done something wrong. In any case, his daughter should be treated
like a treasure. No one could bully her.
“Thank you, Dad.” Catherine was sincerely grateful. “ But I hope that you won’ t intervene in this matter.
I’ll slowly solve it with Wesley.”
“Alright, I promise.”
The two little children hiding in front of the door immediately sneaked back into the playroom when they
heard footsteps walking out.
Their eyes were wide open. Lucas’ eyes were filled with endless anger and disbelief. “I didn’t expect that
Mommy’s cheek was swollen because Uncle Wesley hit her.”
“Bah, he doesn’t deserve to be called ‘Uncle’ at all.” Suzie was furious. “He hit Mommy. I don’t like him
anymore. I hate him.”
“Me too.” Lucas clenched his small fists. Although he used to respect Wesley very much, his Mommy
was the one person who should not be touched. For the first time, he deeply hated himself for being
weak and unable to protect Mommy.
When he thought of how he set up Mommy and Wesley before, he felt upset.
Someone like Wesley was not worthy of Mommy at all.
Shaun was also unworthy.
He had to quickly grow up and protect Mommy.
“We have to avenge Mommy, ” Suzie said indignantly, “I’m gonna tell our scummy dad about this.”
She hurriedly took out her phone to call Shaun. Lucas did not stop her.
Suzie soon got through to Shaun. “Suzie, do you miss Daddy?”
Hearing Shaun’s voice, Suzie suddenly became choked up.
“Why are you crying, baby? Who bullied you?”
Shaunimmediately became anxious.
“I was bullied, and Mommy was bullied, ” Suzie said in an aggrieved tone. “Mommy’s face was beaten by
Wesley until it became swollen.”
“Wesley hit your mom?” Shaun suddenly remembered that Catherine was wearing a mask when he saw
her at noon. It turned out she was hiding her injury.
His heart seized up viciously while his hatred for Wesley reached another level.
“Yeah, Mommy is really sad. She even said she wants to divorce Wesley…”
“Suzie, that’s enough.” Lucas quickly ended the call.
Suzie glared at him angrily. “What was that for?”
“Don’t tell him what Mommy said, or he’ll think that his opportunity has come. Mommy is still married, so
it’s not good for her to have contact with him.”
Lucas said seriously, “Besides, I don’t want Mommy to get out of the frying pan that is Wesley only to
jump back into the same fire again.”
“That… makes sense.”
