Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
However, Shaun did not give up.
Instead, he hugged her, tightly holding her delicate body in his arms.
The evening breeze blew her silk nightgown. “Cathy, divorce him. Wesley doesn’t deserve you.”
Catherine was stunned for a moment before returning to her senses. She pushed him away. “Let me go.
If people see us alone in the middle of the night, I won’t be able to wash my name clean even if I jump
into the river. Do you want me to get beaten again?”
Shaun’s heart ached when he heard her words and he let go of her.
Although he wanted to hold her like this forever, he was even more afraid that she would get hurt
because of him.
“ Shaun, even if I divorce him one day, it won’t be because of you. Don’t flatter yourself. ” Catherine
cooled her expression and deliberately said in a harsh tone.
“Cathy, you know best if I’m flattering myself or not. ” Shaun looked at her and smiled. “ If it were another
man, would you have helped him like you helped me that night?”
At the thought of what had happened that night, Catherine blushed in shame.
She glared at him fiercely. “I did it because of Suzie and Lucas. I don’t want them to lose their father. ”
“Yes, I understand. Thank you, mother of my children.” Shaun looked at her with a burning gaze a s
though he wanted to set her on fire.
Catherine could not stay any longer and turned back to his car. “ I can’t be bothered with you. I’m going
back to sleep. Don’t cause trouble for Wesley, or I really won’t be able to clear my name anymore.”
“It can’t be cleared anyway.” Shaun grinned.
“Shut your mouth.” Catherine could not stop herself from yelling.
However, as soon as her facial muscles were pulled, she felt a burning pain on her face and hissed.
Shaun panicked. He had left the ointment at the Yule villa’s door. This was the first time he was
encountering such a situation, so he did not know what to do. He could only act like he was coaxing
Suzie. “Does it hurt? I’ll blow it for you.”
He leaned over and gently blew on her face.
Catherine was speechless. He really was treating her like a child. “That’s enough, stop blowing. Just
don’t make me angry.”
“When did I make you angry? I’m telling the truth. You don’ t have to persuade me about Wesley. He hurt
my beloved woman. If I give up, what kind of man would I be?”
Hearing this, Catherine glanced at his lower body and said with a vague smile, “Are you sure you’re still
a man? Don’t pretend I haven’t seen it before. ”
Shaun’s handsome face suddenly darkened when he was severely humiliated by her. What was more
embarrassing to be humiliated by his beloved woman? “This is only temporary. I’m already in the middle
of treatment. I’ll let you witness my true ability soon.”
“Hoodlum.” Catherine rolled her eyes at him. “You started it.”
Shaun’s expression was innocent. “Cathy, you don’t want me to go to Wesley because you want to
protect me, right? I’m powerless and pitiful now. Anyone is able to step on me, so you’re afraid that
Wesley will retaliate against me.”
“You’re delusional, Shaun. I don’t want you to go to my husband and make my marriage more
complicated,” Catherine snapped at him and refuted.
“I don’t believe you.” Shaun’s gaze fell on her chest. “ I can see that you were really anxious when you
rushed down to chase after me.”
Catherine froze and looked down at herself. She realized that in her haste, she had not worn underwear
when she came out.
Her face turned red again.
She ignored him and got into the car before swiftly driving away.
After the car drove some distance away, she glanced through the rear-view mirror and saw the figure
standing in the night. Her heart involuntarily skipped a beat.
She then remembered Ethan’s sudden death.
