Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1416 âSuit yourself. â After Catherine took a mouthful of porridge, her stomach felt better. Then, she said in annoyance, âI donât know what youâre so angry about. At this age, youâre supposed to be more mature.
Youâre not old either. Donât you realize a lot of women look back at you when I go out with you?â
Shaunâs eyes lit up, and the corners of his lips curled up a little. After smiling for two seconds, he tried to stifle it. âBut Iâm not a handsome young guy anymore. Iâve lost that youthful vigor. Iâm fuddy-duddy and boring, just like a sugar cane. The more itâs eaten, the less sweet it becomes.â
Catherine rubbed her forehead, speechless. âDid Rodney, that big mouth, say something to you?â
The grimness in Shaunâs eyes was apparent. âMiss Jones, did you have fun with the handsome young guy last night? Did you think about your beloved Mr. Hill?â
Catherine nearly spat out the porridge in her mouth. She hurriedly took a few pieces of tissue and covered her porridge-stained lips. She was laughing so hard that her shoulders shook.
âIs it funny?â Shaun silently fixed his eyes on her. â Have you forgotten what you said the night before?
That you were fed up with my face?â
âWhy are you so funny now?â Catherineâs belly hurt from laughing too much. After calming down, she approached Shaun, cupped his handsome face, and scanned it. âWow, what a handsome face. How can I possibly be fed up with it? Look at your sword- shaped brows and tall nose. Also, your thin lips⦠â
She purposely brushed her finger on it. âYouâre really captivating when you kiss me. How would I be interested in someone else? The handsome young guy is very childish compared to you. I prefer mature and masculine men like you. Your body shape is also my type, especially when you take off your clothes. Youâre not too muscular, but you look fitâ¦â
âDrop it.â
Despite his shamelessness, his face and ears were flushed red from her words.
This woman was so good at flirting. Not only was she a smooth talker, but her touch was also very flirty.
â So, are you still mad?â Catherine smiled gently.
âIâm not mad. I just feel insecure. When I face you, Iâm no longer as confident as I used to be. But if you give me a kiss right now, I might feel better.â
Once Shaun finished speaking, he pulled her onto his thighs before lowering his head, about to kiss her.
âDonât. This is the Lynch familyâs house.â Catherine was shocked. âMany people live here.â
âHey, isnât it too late to realize that many people live here?â Forrestâs voice suddenly rang from the side.
Embarrassed, Catherine promptly pushed Shaun away. She turned around, only to find Forrest standing at the foot of the stairs. âF-Forrest, when did you come down?â
âSome time ago. Iâve been here since you said, â Youâre really captivating when you kiss me.ââ Forrest calmly took a bowl of porridge and sat down. âAm I disturbing you guys?â
ââ¦Nope.â Catherine felt so embarrassed that she wanted to die. She had never felt like this in front of Forrest before.
She glowered at Shaun viciously, yet Shaun felt a lot better.
âI finally understand how you won over the wealthiest man in Australia back then.â Forrest let out a discreet smile. â Sadly, Freya hasnât learned any of your skills even though sheâs your best friend. You can teach her next time so that she wonât be deceived by men time and time again.â
âForrest, please stop.â Catherine used the bowl to block her face. âShaunny, let me introduce him to you. Heâs Freyaâs brother, Forrest Lynch.â
âHi.â Shaun nodded at Forrest. He had heard Chase mention Lynch Corporation before too. It was initially just an established company in Melbourne. However, Forrest took over the company afterward and expanded it until it became one of the top 1oo companies in Australia.
