As Suzie and Lucas were his grandchildren, Brennan deemed it necessary to look after them.
However, he was not obliged to do the same for the other members of the Hills. He came here today
for the sake of his son.
“Dad…” Valerie leaped to her feet with a hint of dissatisfaction
“Enough. You guys have enjoyed more than half of your lives. Money lost can still be earned again.
What matters is that you’re still alive, ” Old Master Hill responded with a deep sigh.
After some time, Valerie, who was in the main hall, muttered, “I wonder who the powerful enemy that
the Hill family has offended is.”
Catherine’s eyes narrowed. She could not help but tighten his grip on Shaun’s hands.
Catherine remained silent throughout her journey back to the villa with Shaun at night.
“Cathy, don’t take my aunty’s words to heart.”
Shaun suddenly stopped and caressed her tender, smooth face.
Overwhelmed with guilt, Catherine said, “How can I not take her words to heart? If I hadn’t looked for
you in Melbourne and married you back then, things would’ve been fine, and you wouldn’t have
offended Rebecca.”
“In that case, I’m at fault too. When I caught her previously, I should’ve killed her straight away and not
let her escape.” Shaun let out a sigh. “I was also taken advantage of by Mason.”
“Anyway, if you hadn’t met me, you and Rebecca wouldn’t have been hostile toward each other, ”
Catherine argued.
“No. If I were given a second chance, I’d still choose to meet you again.” Shaun lowered his head and
fixed his eyes on her elegant, pretty face. “As I said, money lost can still be earned again. Cathy, those
days of being taunted and looked down on were nothing to me. I don’t mind the highs or lows of my life
as long as I’m with you. Rebecca can target Hill Corporation, but I’ll never let her kill me. If worse
comes to worst, I’ll send you and the kids away from Australia. But in that case, you might need to give
up on Hudson.”
“Do I look like the kind who’s concerned about wealth?” After listening to him, Catherine wrapped her
hands around his waist with a smile. “I have brains. If we lose the money, we can still earn it back since
we’re still young. But I’m… afraid that Rebecca will do something to other members of the Hills.”
“Don’t worry. I’ve discussed this matter with Uncle Nathan. He said once he becomes the prime
minister, he’ll guarantee the Hill family’s safety. If that’s not possible, we’ll bring the rest over after we’ve
settled down there. ” Shaun tilted his head down and kissed her lips. “Trust me.”
“Mm. ” Catherine lifted her head, her lips shining alluringly under the moonlight.
It occurred to Shaun that it had been a while since he had kissed her passionately. At this moment, his
eyes darkened, and he lowered his head to plant a kiss on her.
Only after she began to lose her breath did he let her go. Suddenly, they heard Suzie tease.
“Not only are you guys home so late, but you’re now making out outside. Both of you are shameless.”
Catherine was so shocked that her heart almost leaped out of her chest. When she turned around and
caught sight of the two kids’ disdainful gazes, her face burned. She had no idea how long they had
been staring at her and Shaun.
“When did you guys… come over?” Deeply embarrassed, Catherine wished she could dig a hole and
bury herself in it.
“Too long ago. I don’t remember, ” Lucas answered her question impassively.
Catherine was speechless.
It was just a kiss. How long could it have been? These two kids really drove her mad.
