Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 40
Catherine then added, “I need these spices in my cooking. Also, I bought some noodles so that I can cook for you when you return late from work. We’re running out of toilet paper and rags as well.”

At that instant, Shaun was under the delusion that this woman was his wife, given that she took great care of everything in the house.

“By the way…” Pointing to the tissue paper box, Catherine continued, “…this will be placed in your car. This way, you won’t always have to use the tissue paper provided at the gas station. This kind of soft tissue paper is quite economical.”

“Since when do I use the tissue paper provided at the gas station?”

“It’s in your car. It’s still there.” Afraid that he was concerned about saving his dignity, Catherine feigned admiration. “It doesn’t matter. I simply like your capable yet frugal personality. This is the first time I met a man who’s living his best life. You’re a model of a perfect man. How charming.”

Overwhelmed with the sudden compliments, Shaun lowered his head. The way she looked up and stared at him with bright eyes reminded him of the first time they met.

Compared to her dull expression two days ago, her shameless look right now made him feel better.

“You shouldn’t be working as a designer. You should be a brown noser.”

Catherine giggled. “I just want to be your brown noser.”

“Go and pay the bill now.”

As Shaun turned around and walked forward, Catherine did not catch sight of his curled lips.

An enthusiastic salesperson who was promoting some brand hurried to the check-out counter and stopped the two of them.

“Hello, sir and madam. Do you guys want to buy Durex? We’re having a promotion recently where you buy one and get one for free. It’s really economical.”

Catherine blushed at the sight of the little box in the salesperson’s hand.

“No… No need. We don’t need it.”

“Ohhh. Both of you are newlyweds, so are you guys planning to have a child?” the salesperson asked knowingly.

“Uh-huh.” Afraid that the salesperson would continue to pester her, Catherine muttered something and subsequently dragged Shaun forward.
