Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 181 âNot tonight. But letâs do it some other day.â
Shaun hesitated briefly before agreeing. He should say yes since Catherine liked it.
â¦
5:00 p.m.
Catherine went downstairs and got into a white car.
Shaun was reading work documents inside. His profile clearly showed his long and curly eyelashes.
Even his fingers that held the papers were slender and clean. He was impeccable like a statue no matter from which angle one looked at.
She had always been shallow, in the sense that she cared significantly about a personâs appearance.
Otherwise, she would not have gotten together with Ethan in the past. He was among the most attractive-looking men in Melbourne. However, he was incomparable when put next to Shaun.
No wonder she no longer found Ethan interesting. She also could not be bothered with Wesley.
âShaunny, why arenât you looking at me? Donât you miss me?â She leaned into him and hugged his arm.
âIâm looking at a case.â He threw her a quick glance. The woman took off her coat upon entering the car, revealing the tight-fitting shirt she was wearing underneath that accentuated her curvy figure. His eyes darkened. He was too distracted at the moment to continue working.
âOh, sorry to disturb you. Go on then.â She sat up straight all of a sudden.
ââ¦â
How could he go on working after what she did?
He put the documents away and lifted her up to his lap. However, she was a tall woman at 167cm, thus her head hit the roof of the car right away.
The car was too small.
He narrowed his eyes and said, âItâs time for a new car.â
Hadley enquired almost immediately, âYoung Master Hill, what type of car are you thinking of?â
âAnything with a spacious and tall backseat. Get it done tomorrow.â
ââ¦â
Catherine had no idea what to make of this conversation. She could not fathom the life of the super-
rich. The man immediately decided to change his car because the current one was inconvenient when he hugged his girlfriend in the backseat. She was falling more deeply for him.
âWhat do you want to eat tonight?â he asked.
âItâs getting cold lately. I want to eat hotpot, and I know a good place nearby.â She added upon seeing the displeasure that flashed across his face, âWe can try ordering the couple hotpot.â
He raised an eyebrow and gently pinched her nose. âYou naughty woman.â
Baffled, she blinked back blankly. Perhaps he had misunderstood something. âEvery hotpot restaurant provides a double-flavor hotpot broth option, with both spicy and non-spicy broth base. Donât you know that?â
ââ¦â
âOf course I do.â He threw her a sideways glance before answering diffidently.
âOh.â She believed him and nodded.
Hadley, who was in the front seat, was speechless. âYoung Master Hill, youâre surely getting better at lying.â
Upon arriving at the hotpot restaurant, Catherine invited Hadley to tag along but Shaun rejected right away. âHe can eat somewhere else.â
He finally had time for a date, so he surely would not allow a third party to interrupt.
Hadley nodded quickly. âItâs alright. I donât like hotpot anyway. Iâll find something else in the restaurant next door. Take your time and enjoy the food.â
Immediately, he walked out of the restaurant. Catherine threw him a pitiful glance.
Shaun took a seat first. She thought of sitting opposite him but he quickly said with displeasure, âCome and sit right next to me. I donât know how to do this.â
This took her by surprise. âBut you had it with me the last time?â
âYou have the cheek to mention that?â His handsome face fell. âDid you know my stomach hurt for three days after that? Tell me, why didnât you ask me how I was doing then? You cared about me a lot, huh?â
She almost choked on the drink. She had not asked because she did not care about him back then.
However, things were different now. âI was afraid that I would give in once I got close to you,â she replied innocently.
Pleased with the answer, he pulled her down to sit next to him. âCook for me later.â
Helpless, she turned to look at the couple sitting at the next table.
The man did not stop feeding his girlfriend. âDarling, what do you want to eat next?
âDarling, have some of this. Itâs delicious.
âDarling, try this too. Itâs really good.â
