Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 446 Catherine stared at Shaunâs name, her heart racing madly. When she answered the call, a manâs charming voice sounded. âWhy arenât you here yet?â
âIâll be there in a minute.â
âAlright.â
Once the man ended the call, Catherine calmed down and tried hard not to overthink. It was probably the server who misunderstood the situation. Considering that she had gone through so much with Shaun, she should have more faith in him.
Three minutes later, she spotted Shaun waiting on the field.
There were four people altogether â three men and one woman.
Shelley, who did not stand out in the crowd previously, was now wearing a set of Fendi clothes from the latest spring line. She looked decent and elegant, as if she had transformed from a peasant into a princess.
Shelley and Shaun were standing in front of the barbecue grill side by side while Rodney chatted happily around them. On the other hand, Chester was holding a wine glass with a smile.
What a harmonious scene.
All of a sudden, Catherine was rooted to the spot. Although Shaun was her husband and she was quite close with Chase, she had never gotten along so well with his friends.
As a wife who loved her husband deeply, she wished she could mingle with her husbandâs friends.
However, Shelley appeared to have adjusted to mingling with his friends even sooner than she could.
Who was Shelley? She was merely a carer who had been here for half a month.
Then, Catherine felt as if something was poking her eyes, and it made her feel very uncomfortable.
âCatherineâ¦â As the first one among them who noticed her, Chester waved at her.
Shaun turned his head around and waved at Catherine too.
Forcing a smile, Catherine walked to Shaun and held his hand. âWhy did you think of having a barbecue tonight?â
âDo you like it?â Shaun casually asked with a smile.
âWill you change it if I say no?â Catherine squinted her eyes and looked at him. She seemed to be joking, but a part of her looked serious.
Shaun had just changed the French cuisine into a barbecue. If he were to change it againâ¦
He rubbed his brows in pain. Before he could respond, Rodney said, âWeâve already prepared all the ingredients. Itâll be too troublesome to change them again.â
âIf you want something, just inform the chef. Heâll prepare it for youâ Shaun pinched her finger and said in a doting tone, âRodney hired one of the Top 10 chefs in the world. He can cook anything.â
âI was kidding.â
Catherine shrugged. âI donât mind barbecue. What do you want to eat? Are shrimps okay? Shrimps are your favorite.â
Shaun hesitated for a moment, but just as he was about to answer, Rodney said, âItâs fine. Shelley has prepared more than ten pits of shrimps for Shaun.â
Catherine shifted her eyes to Shelley, who was holding pits of shrimps and beef. Those were Shaunâs favorites.
Her expression froze in spite of herself.
A look of panic washed over Shelleyâs face. She was at her witsâ end. âSorry, Young Madam. I didnât know when you were going to arrive. Iâll let you do this, then.â
Rodney was discontented with Shelleyâs inhibited demeanor. âItâs not a big deal. Itâs just some pits of shrimps, right? Youâre in charge of looking after Shaun anyway. Thereâs no need to be upset about it.â
âWhen was I upset?â Catherine fixed Rodney a cold gaze. She had always disliked him, but she was especially fed up with him now.
Her gaze made Rodney annoyed. âYouâve been pulling a long face, and it gave Shelley a fright.â
âNo, Young Master Snow,â Shelley immediately said in a gentle manner. âYoung Madam usually treats me well.â
Rodney snorted, âWhy are you so afraid of her, then?â
âIâm not,â Shelley added cautiously. âIâm showing my respect to her.â
âRespect? Youâre a carer, and youâre paid to perform your duties.â Rodney kept speaking up for Shelley.
Catherine flew into a rage. âYoung Master Snow, your words make me seem as if I put myself above everyone else in the house. Iâve never treated Shelley poorly at home, please.â
âYoung Madam, Young Master Snow, you guysâ¦â
