Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 247
Catherine fetched a basin of hot water. She took off his coat, unbuttoned the collar of his shirt, and wiped his exquisitely handsome face with a towel.
“Sarah…” The man suddenly grabbed her hand, and a low murmur escaped his thin lips.
Catherine froze as if a bucket of cold water was dumped on her.
Sarah?
Who was that? Was it his ex-girlfriend?
A woman’s heart was always sharper than anyone else’s
Catherine pulled her hand away from his grip forcefully. The man’s hand grabbed the air, and he called out to Sarah again.
She turned around and sat on the edge of the bed. Her eyes reddened, and her heart was pricked as if it was being stabbed. It hurt.
…
The next morning.
Shaun woke up with a hangover. His head hurt, and his stomach felt uncomfortable too.
He looked at the surroundings and realized that it was his bedroom in the villa.
Why did Chase send him back here? He really did not want to face Catherine now.
However, he had drunk too much last night and was feeling very uncomfortable now.
Looking around, he suddenly saw a cup of warm water and two stomach pills sitting by the edge of the nightstand. His dark eyes widened.
Aunty Linda would never be so attentive, and she did not know what medicine he usually took either. Only that woman…
Catherine’s face suddenly paled. After a long time, she blinked her eyes that were about to overflow with tears. “Since you think I’m dirty, why don’t I leave?”
He had called out another woman’s name when he slept, anyway.
In fact, maybe he did not love her that much.
Shaun froze when he heard her. His bloodshot eyes suddenly glared into her. “You want to leave? Are you going to Wesley Lyons to stay with him now? Everyone on the internet is telling you two to be together. You’re the most compatible pair in the business world.”
“No.” Catherine had not been able to sleep all night as she felt powerless. “I’m leaving because you don’t want to see me.”
“Even if you disgust me, you need to stay in this house,” Shaun yelled in anger, “As long as I’m around, you can only dream of being with Wesley. Let me tell you, Catherine Jones, since you’ve provoked me, don’t even think of getting away from me intact!”
Then, he left.
Catherine smiled bitterly. How was she still intact? She had already lost her heart.
