Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South]
“No, strictly speaking, it was 11:28 p.m. last night, ” Shaun corrected.
Catherine was exasperated.
Brennan looked at them bicker childishly as a complex smile flashed in his eyes.
Once upon a time, Lea and he were like that too. However, they were young back then and did not know
how to cherish each other.
After living half their lives, they were still alone. “Wait here.”
Brennan suddenly got up and went upstairs.
Three minutes later, he came back downstairs with an envelope and handed it to Catherine.
Catherine took it and saw that it was the title deed and real estate certificate to Hill Manor, as well as a
bunch of keys.
She was taken aback. “So it turns out that the mysterious buyer of Hill Manor was you.”
“This is the first time we’re meeting, so I’ll give you this manor. ” Brennan smiled. “Think of it as a
birthday present for my grandchildren.”
Catherine was shocked. “That’s too much. I can’t accept this.”
“ I’m giving it to Suzie and Lucas.” Brennan waved his hand. “Take it. I bought it back then to help the Hill
family tide over their difficulties, not because I wanted to live in it. To be honest, I don’t have any good
memories there, but it’s different for the Hill family—especially the two elders who have lived there for
decades.”
Shaun instantly understood. “Dad, you mean…”
“Hill Manor is a good place. There’s an orchard and a horse racing track. It’s very suitable for children to
live in. I believe the children will like it very
much, ” Brennan said, “It’ll be a waste for me to keep the manor but leave it empty.”
“But…”
“Take it, Cathy,” Shaun said, “This is a present from my dad to the kids. He didn’t raise me when I was
young, so it’s appropriate for him to show some responsibility for my children.”
“That’s right.” Brennan agreed.
“Then… I’ll thank you on behalf of the children. ” Catherine did argue anymore.
At 9:00 p.m., the two of them left the villa.
Behind them, Brennan stood alone in the courtyard with his hands in his pockets.
Catherine could not help but ask, “Your dad didn’t remarry?”
“No.” Shaun shook his head.
“I feel that he’s quite lonely all by himself. Is it because he can’t forget your mom? They’re both single
right now…”
“Forget it. It’s different. My dad hates my mom. ” Shaun sighed. “The misunderstanding between them
isn’t like ours. It also involves my grandmother. My grandmother was killed by Mason. If Dad hadn’t
gotten entangled with my mom and Mason, all this wouldn’t have happened. ”
Catherine was slightly surprised. “ I didn’t expect that…”
“My mom already knows that my dad is back but she hasn’t gone to see him. She just doesn’t have the
guts to see him, ” Shaun said. “My mom really
made too many mistakes back then.”
