Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1703 Catherine was so embarrassed that she wished she was struck by lightning.
She just wanted to explode.
This guy was developing at rocket speed.
That was right. She had thought that way at that time, but her mind had changed in the past few days.
Furthermore⦠His words made it seem like she was a lewd person.
What did he mean by becoming his woman? He spoke as if he was in high demand.
He, a man whose brain had been messed with constantly? Tsk. Even she was a little disgusted by him.
âYou think too much, â Catherine said stiffly and glared at him. âSo youâre not going to listen to me, huh?â
âCathy, if you took the initiative to kiss me before but didnât want to be my woman, then you would be a pervert.â Shaun braced himself and said, â According to Australiaâs criminal legislation, youâll bear criminal responsibility if the person hasnât come of age yet. Moreover, the current law states that, in this regard, men have the same rights as women.â
âYou know criminal law?â Catherine glanced at him grimly.
âThere were many books about the subject in the study, so I read a few of them, â Shaun said somewhat smugly.
Catherine raised her brows. She had been with him for so long, yet she knew nothing about it. âIf you want to talk about the law, fine. Let me ask you. Did you resist when it happened? Were you unconscious? No. On the contrary, if you enjoyed it, itâs not illegal.â
âBut I only had a mental age of two at that time. Thereâs also a doctorâs report about that. I didnât resist, but your behavior can constitute as deceiving an ignorant child.â Shaun retorted swiftly.
Catherine was rendered speechless.
She had to admit that even though he had lost his memory, he was still much better at applying the law than her.
However, when she saw his smug face, she could not help but become furious. âFine. If you feel like Iâve committed a crime, then go ahead and call the cops.â
Shaun froze when he realized that she was angry. Then, he quickly lowered his head and tried to please her. âThatâs not what I meant. I just donât want to sleep separately from you. Donât think that I donât know. Rodney said that we were in a relationship before my accident and that Suzie and Lucas are our children. Seeing how Suzie and Lucas are used to it, itâs clear that we didnât start sleeping together after my accident.â
Catherine pursed her pink lips. She did not tell Rodney to hide it, and she did not plan on hiding it from Shaun either. There were some things that he would find out sooner or later.
âCathy⦠â Shaun held her hand and said nervously, âLet me take care of you as I did beforeâ¦â
âDo you love me?â Catherine suddenly looked up at him.
Shaun was stunned.
Love? What was love? He still did not know. âCathy, I really want to be with you. Iâ¦â
âShaunny, the truth is that when you were first diagnosed with the mental age of a two-year-old, I thought I might continue to be with you if you stayed like this forever. I donât know how long I can hold on for â maybe a few years, a few decades, or even my entire life. But then, Iâve noticed that your intelligence has been slowly growing, and youâll soon grow into an exceptional person. You donâ t remember the past, our love, or all the gratitude and grievances weâve had for each other. Your memory started over with a clean slate, like you just came out of your motherâs womb. So you must not remember about⦠loving me.â
Catherine stopped as she felt a lump in her throat. â Shaun, do you know that this isnât the first time youâve forgotten?â Shaun was stunned. âIâve lost my memory before?â
