Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 472 âSo you want to bring Shelley over and have two women serve the same husband?â Catherine mocked, âItâs not like it hasnât happened before among Canberraâs influential upper class where the legal wife and the mistress coexist in the same house.â
Shaun stood up immediately after hearing her sarcastic words. His slender figure was like a modelâs, but his eyes were bloodshot. âI had Shelley leave already. Aunty Yasmine told me that you hit me that night because I was lying on the bed and holding Shelleyâs hand. Iâm sorry that I misunderstood you. Iâll apologize to you.
âThe thing about Sarah Wonderland happened a long time ago. I didnât know the fireworks event at 9.20 p.m. every Friday was still ongoing. It had always been the theme parkâs general manager who managed the event. He said that the fireworks had become a tourist attraction, but I told him to cancel it.
âI hadnât met you yet when I named Shaunarah Corporation. However, Iâll make it so that Hill Corporation Electronics and Shaunarah Corporation merge as soon as possible. After that, thereâll be no more Shaunarah Corporation in Australia.â
Shaun moved toward Catherine step by step, his gaze filled with affection. âCathy, come back. I canât be without you.â
He lowered his head and kissed her lips affectionately.
Catherine became absent-minded at that moment.
There was no doubt that this manâs looks, status, and pleasant voice could easily charm a woman.
However, when his breath came near, Catherine returned to her senses and took a few steps back.
She looked at him cautiously. âYouâve heard of the story âThe Boy Who Cried Wolfâ right? Youâve said many nice words to me before as well, but how did you treat me? When Shelley looked aggrieved, you thought I was bullying her. All of your friends think of me as a bad person whoâs jealous and green with envy. Iâve had enough.
âThere was the incident with Thomas too. You knew he was rotten to the core, yet you helped him again and again. In the end, Hugh came to hurt me with a knife. That caused Wesley to lose a kidney and I had to shoulder the guilt. Why should I?â
Shaun squinted his eyes. âSo you think that things are unfair for Wesley?â
âShouldnât I?â Catherine laughed. âIf it werenât for Wesley, Iâd be dead. I wouldâve died because of your ex-girlfriendâs brother.â
She said coldly and went upstairs.
Infuriated by him, she locked the door and went into the shower to bathe.
After coming out of the shower, she saw the man who was supposed to be outside lying on her bed. He was sleeping soundly while hugging her pillow and covering himself with her blanket.
She was about to go crazy. How on earth did that man manage to come in?
âShaun, get the hell out of here.â Catherine lifted the blanket away.
When she saw that Shaun was not wearing a shirt nor pants under the blanket, her face turned red from anger and embarrassment.
âWhy arenât you wearing anything?â
Looking at Catherineâs blushing face, Shaunâs sexy thin lips curved into a smirk. âI had to take them off to sleep, of course. You didnât prepare any nightwear for me either.â
ââ¦â
He was shameless enough to barge into other peopleâs homes, and now, he was blaming her for not preparing nightwear for him?
Why had she not realized he was so shameless before?
âBe good and donât disturb me. I can fall asleep just by taking in your scent. I havenât slept in two days.â
Shaun retrieved the blanket and covered himself.
Catherine was infuriated to the point that her insides were in pain. She felt powerless. âShaun, what do you want? Donât you have Shelley now? Why are you still clinging to me?â
âIâve already made her leave.â
Shaun pressed his lips together and said, âIf you hate me for locking you in the cellar for a night, you can lock me up in the closet too.â
Catherine blurted, âWhy should I lock you up? Iâm not sick like you.â
Sickâ¦
That word echoed in the bedroom.
Shaunâs face paled instantly. He looked as if he were a child.
Catherine bit her lip. She did not want to be soft-hearted and feel a single bit of sympathy for him anymore.
Shaun did not say anything. He got up and walked barefoot into the closet before closing the doors.
Catherine could not care less about him and let him continue being pretentious.
