Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1415 âCathyâ¦â
Amid Catherineâs confusion, Shaun walked up to her and wrapped her around his arms. He then stretched out this hand to press her long, frizzy hair.
Only when she caught a whiff of his uniquely crisp scent did it dawn on her that Shaun had actually come to Melbourne.
âYoung Master Hill was already at the gate at 6:3o in the morning.â Mr. Lynch explained with a smile, â
He probably flew here overnight. He really⦠canât bear to part with you even for a day.â
With an elder staring her this way, Catherine blushed and promptly pushed Shaun away.
Shaunâs face turned cold.
They had just met each other, yet she could not wait to push him away. Was it because she felt that he was not as good as that handsome young guy?
âWhy are you here all of a sudden?â Catherine raised her head. When she saw the bags under his eyes, she frowned. âLook at your dark circles. You didnât sleep last night, huh?â
Shaunâs brows sank. He did not notice the dark circles under his eyes, but her words shattered him. As such, he pulled a long face and kept quiet.
âYou guys can have a chat. Iâm going out for a jog.â With his hands behind his back, Mr. Lynch left the house to avoid being the third wheel.
âMiss Jones, would you like to have breakfast?â the housekeeper asked with a smile.
âSure. Thank you.â Catherine nodded.
Soon, the housekeeper served them some breakfast, such as millet porridge, sweetcorn fritters, eggs, carrots, and salad.
Catherine handed Shaun a fork and spoon before she said, âFreyaâs parents have weak stomachs and high cholesterol, so her family usually has a bland diet. However, this is good too since itâs nutritious and healthy.â
Shaun remained still without taking over the fork and spoon.
âWhatâs wrong?â Catherine finally realized that something was wrong with him.
Shaun furrowed his eyebrows deeply. âAre you looking down on me because of my old age?â
A dazed look flashed across Catherineâs face.
Shaunâs dark gaze was filled with resentment. âAs soon as you saw me, you said that I have bags under my eyes. You were trying to imply that Iâm not as handsome as I was before, right? Now, you keep reminding me to be health-conscious. Iâm indeed older than you by many years. My stomach often aches, and my body is weak. Itâs about time to be health-conscious. After all, Iâm not that young anymore.â
At a loss for words again, Catherine gazed at his handsome face. When he made such remarks, had he considered the feelings of the young people who looked older than their age?
âWhy are you⦠so badâtempered?â she asked after some time.
âNow⦠Youâre looking down on me because of my moodiness, huh?â Shaun clenched his fists.
Catherine took a deep breath. If she were not at the Lynch household right now, she would have taught him a lesson. However, considering that it was someone elseâs place, she explained calmly, âI donât know why youâre so mad. I talked about your dark circles because I took pity on you for staying up last night. I talked about being health-conscious because they donât serve Western breakfast here. I was afraid that you wouldnât like the food, so I kindly reminded you that at least the breakfast is nutritious and healthy even though itâs bland.â
âThat is all? â Shaun was stunned, and his brows furrowed.
