Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 396
11:00 a.m.
Shaun came home from work to pick Catherine up.
She stepped forward to grab his hand, and her eyes sparkled like the stars in the night sky. “I really like this evening gown.”
“That’s what matters.”
He said with raised eyebrows. As long as she was pleased, it was worth him spending all night stealing this evening gown from Melanie.
On the way to the hotel, the car came to a halt at the intersection, waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
Catherine suddenly noticed something outside the window and felt her heart flutter. “Pull up at the front of the road. I want to get something from the pharmacy.”
“What do you need? I’ll go.” Shaun looked her in the eye.
“Um… birth control pills,” she replied unnaturally.
“Actually, we can think about having kids,” he said with a serious look, “I’ll be a good father.”
“…” She had no words to reply to him. Their relationship was too unstable for having kids.
Besides, she still had to take care of many problems.
“I don’t want kids now. I’m still a kid myself at this age,” she said, turning her face away. Her voice reeked of determination.
“Alright. I’ll get you the pills.”
The car pulled up at the roadside. Shaun entered the pharmacy alone. “I’d like some Vitamin C tablets and birth control pills.”
The salesperson at the pharmacy got him what he requested.
Right there and then, he swapped the contents of the bottles in front of the salesperson.
