Shaun’s eyes flashed with misery. He stretched out one hand to hold her hand and squeezed it gently.
“ I can take over the role of searching for evidence. I don’t want you to suffer so much.”
“Can you stop… groping me?” Catherine lifted her hand that was held in his palm, her eyes looking
helpless.
“Cathy, don’t get me wrong.” Shaun blinked innocently. “I was afraid that you were cold, so I just
wanted to warm your hand.”
His shameless behavior made the corners of Catherine’s mouth twitch. “ It’s 25 degrees Celsius today.”
“No, it’s freezing. If you don’t believe me, let’s see.” As Shaun was speaking, he turned on the air
conditioner in his car and set it at 16 degrees Celcius.
Since it was a superb car, the air conditioner immediately buzzed. The cool air blew on her, nearly
causing her to have goosebumps.
Catherine completely lost to him.
She swiftly turned off the air conditioner before glaring at him fiercely. “Childish.”
Shaun laughed, his thin lips curling into a sweet smile. There seemed to be stars shining in his deep-
set eyes. He emanated an attractive, charming aura that could make one melt.
Catherine’s heart skipped a beat, and she instantly looked away.
Deep down, she thought, ‘Damn it. It’s all this alluring man’s doing.’
It was Catherine’s first time officially stepping into the Hill household.
This house might not be as outstanding and luxurious as the previous Hill Manor, but the plants in this
courtyard were neatly trimmed. It was also filled with children’s laughter, which made it seem
harmonious.
The moment Catherine got out of the car, Suzie and Lucas happily ran to her.
“Mommy, I miss you so much! ” The two little kids hugged her and rubbed themselves against her
arms.
Catherine would be swelling with joy if Shaun was not a wet blanket who went over out of the blue…
“I miss you too, darlings.” Shaun wrapped his arms around the three of them from behind while resting
his chin on the top of Catherine’s head.
“Shaun, what are you doing?” He was hugging her in front of the children in the courtyard, which made
her face flush with anger.
After all, they were divorced. With so many people in the Hill household, it was going to be
embarrassing if someone spotted them like this.
“Didn’t you hear what I just said?” Shaun hugged the children with one hand on their backs and
wrapped his other hand around Catherine’s waist. “ I said I miss my darlings. Why can’t I hug my
darlings? You’re not the only one who can do this to them.”
“You can, but you’re supposed to wait until I finish hugging them first. Are you hugging them or… me?”
Catherine warned him with a sullen, hoarse voice.
“I’m hugging the three of you because all of you are my darlings.” Shaun grinned and kissed Catherine
on the forehead.
Catherine was at a loss for words.
“You’re shameless.” Lucas expressed what was on Catherine’s mind. “You’re just taking advantage of
Mommy.”
Suzie nodded. “Scummy dad, what happened to you? Are you still the fierce, indifferent, and silly
scummy dad I know?”
Catherine nodded as this was what she wanted to say too.
“You guys are overthinking things. Why would I need to take advantage of your mommy? I’ve hugged
her from head to toe,” Shaun responded confidently.
Suzie and Lucas were stunned at his words. Suzie blinked. “Mommy, does it mean that you’ve gotten
back together with scummy dad?”
