Let me go, Mr. Hill By Shallow South
After a long time, Mr. Lynch spoke up as the head of the family. “We’ll talk about it after her confinement
period ends in a month. We’ll see how you perform.”
“Dad…” Freya pursed her lips.
Although Rodney’s attitude of admitting his mistakes was very good, his act of buying the mall surprised
her. Seeing him kneeling on the washboard was very satisfying, but she still could not forget how much
she suffered when he made her angry.
Mrs. Lynch sighed. “What? If you get a divorce now, he can be completely indifferent to the child’s affairs.
You’ll have to stay up all night to nurse the baby while he sleeps comfortably at home. Are you willing?”
Freya was speechless. No, she was not. “Knock knock…”
A series of knocks suddenly sounded from the door.
Everyone turned around only to see Shaun standing at the door with his prominent features, and a thin
smile hung on the corners of his mouth.
“Shaun, why are you here?” Rodney was so shocked that he tried to get up from the washing board.
However, as soon as he moved, he felt a sharp pain in his knee and fell down miserably again.
Shaun looked at Rodney, and his smile twitched. Then, he averted his gaze and looked at Catherine
instead. “I’m here to pick you up.”
He looked straight at her, and Catherine felt her cheeks heat up inexplicably.
Mrs. Lynch smiled. “Go back, Catherine. We’re here, so I’ll keep watch tonight. Besides…”
After a pause, she glanced at Rodney. “Since a certain someone said that he wants to take care of the
mother and child at night, I have to let him perform well.”
“Mother-in-law is right. Hurry up and leave with Shaun.”
Rodney gestured with his hand.
“Alright.” Catherine smiled and said goodbye to Freya before preparing to leave with Shaun.
“Hold on.” Shaun took out a gift and put it beside the baby.
Rodney glanced at it and said, “Dude, your gift is too expensive. I didn’t expect you to be so generous.”
Shaun glanced at him and smirked. “She’s Cathy’s best friend’s daughter. It’s only natural that I buy
something expensive.”
Rodney was speechless.
It implied that this gift from his brother had nothing to do with him.
“Pfft.”
Freya looked at Rodney’s defeated expression and could not help but laugh. This was what it looked like
when one flattered himself too much.
When Rodney saw her laugh, he relaxed.
Thank God. She finally smiled.
If he had known earlier, he would tell Shaun to humiliate him more.
“Let’s go.” Shaun wrapped a hand around Catherine’s shoulder, and they both left.
In the quiet corridor, Catherine asked, “Why are you here? Where’s Suzie and Lucas?”
“They’re asleep, ” Shaun said. “Don’t worry. They sleep like little piggies. They won’t wake up at all. I
came here after Chester told me that you’re here accompanying Freya.”
“Since you know I want to accompany her, why did you come and get me?” Catherine snapped at him.
Shaun caressed her hair with his gentle eyes. “Since you’ve helped Rodney, it means that you don’t want
them to get a divorce. In that case, why stay here and be the third wheel? You should give Rodney a
chance to perform.”
Catherine thought about it and found some sense in his words. She was initially planning on leaving after
the Lynch family arrived anyway.
After getting into the car, she suddenly smelled a fragrance.
