Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 455 However, Wesley lowered his head and stared into Catherineâs eyes. His gaze was filled with affection.
âItâs been a while since we met.â
âYup. I caught sight of you when I got off from work just now, so I couldnât help but follow you here,â
Wesley responded sadly. âHow have you been? I noticed you didnât look too happy just nowâ¦â
âNo. I was just thinking about something,â Catherine denied categorically.
âRight. Now that youâre with the man you love, you should be pleased.â Wesley laughed in a self-
deprecating manner.
âSorry, Wesleyâ¦â Catherine was overwhelmed with guilt.
âBut thatâs not what Iâm here for this time, to say that it doesnât matter.â A bitter smile spread across Wesleyâs face. He took the ice cream from the server and then handed one to her.
âS-something came up. Goodbye.â Catherine made an embarrassing excuse as she did not dare to face him.
âYou donât even want to sit with me for a moment? Catherine, donât be so cruel to me.â An imploring look washed over Wesleyâs face.
Catherine could not bring herself to be cruel toward him.
After the two of them were seated, she listened to Wesley talk about his life and matters related to his company.
Little did they realize that someone opposite was secretly taking photos of them.
Half an hour later, Catherine made an excuse to leave.
âHold onâ¦â Wesley grabbed her hand all of a sudden.
Catherine subconsciously shrank away from his touch.
âAre you that afraid of my touch?â Wesleyâs eyes darkened. Her reaction came as a blow to him. âWell, you didnât like it when I touched you back then too.â
âWesley, I have to admit that I owe you too much. I did think about spending the rest of my life with you to make up for it, but I realized that relationships canât be forced. I⦠I can remove my kidney and give it to you,â Catherine said determinedly.
Wesley was dumbfounded. A moment later, a sullen look appeared on his handsome face. âCatherine, what kind of person do you think I am? Itâs true that Iâm mad at you, and Iâm dissatisfied, but I love you.
I donât need you to make it up to me like this.â
He slowly got up and took out a photograph from his pocket.
Catherine subconsciously received it.
The yellowish photograph featured a girl aged between 17 and 18. She had a tiny, oval-shaped face and fair skin. Her smile was sweet, and there were two dimples on her face. Despite her ordinary uniform, she radiated an aura of innocence and purity.
Such a girl would easily become the belle of the ball in any school.
To Catherineâs shock, the girl had a passing resemblance to Shelley.
However, Shelleyâs eyes were not as pretty and exquisite as the girlâs.
âThis isâ¦â
âShaunâs ex-girlfriend, who was also his first love.â
Catherineâs pretty face paled.
Although she had somewhat guessed the answer, she refused to believe it.
Even so, Wesleyâs words had exposed the truth, and it made her heart clench so tightly that she nearly suffocated.
No wonder Charity said that the three men had been tricking and lying to her. No wonder Charity looked at her sympathetically.
It turned out that Shaun had kept a carer, who resembled his ex-girlfriend, by his side.
Ha. How did he feel seeing Shelley every day? Did he miss his ex-girlfriend?
Who was Shelley to him, then?
This was what Shaun meant by unchanging love.
âWhy are you showing it to me?â Catherine gave Wesley a cold stare.
âIt doesnât matter how you perceive me, but I did put quite a lot of effort in getting this photograph.â
Wesley added bluntly, âA lot of wealthy families in Canberra know about Shaunâs ex. Back then, he pampered her like a princess and brought her wherever he went. He even insisted on marrying her despite the Hill familyâs objection. Since she was the eldest daughter in the Neeson family, Shaun came to the Neeson familyâs assistance at all costs. She was fond of amusement parks, so he spent a fortune building Sarah Wonderland for her.â
