Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 523 Half an hour into the film, Shaunâs phone rang out of the blue.
He retrieved it from the pocket. Catherine stole a glance at it and noticed someone named Nyasia was calling him.
âIâll take this outside.â
He walked out of the room and answered the call in a low voice. âIs something wrong?â
âCan I not call you just because?â Sarahâs disappointed voice sounded from the speaker.
âItâs not that⦠Iâ¦â
The woman on the other end chuckled. âI was messing with you. I did some research into your case during the day and came up with a treatment plan. Letâs start the treatment tonight.â
âTonight?â He was surprised.
âUh-huh. I came up with 30 treatment plans for now and theyâre to be carried out at different times of the day. The condition gets more repressed at night and I think the human body is the most relaxed at this time, so itâd be easier for you to connect with your true feelings. Besides, itâs harder to treat your condition the longer we drag it on. Tonightâs the best time.â
He frowned and said after a brief hesitation, âSorry but Iâm occupied at the momentâ¦â
âI see. Are you accompanying your wife? Sorry about thatâ¦â Sarah sounded flustered. âI almost forgot that youâre a married man now.â
âItâs fine. What about tomorrow night?â he replied.
âSure.â She smiled bitterly. âIâm quite jealous of your wife.â
This took him by surprise. A complicated emotion materialized in his heart. If things had gone according to plans, Sarah would be his wife now.
Just as he was thinking about what to say to that, the person on the other end of the phone had already said goodbye and hung up.
He stood there for a few seconds before reentering the theater room.
Catherine lifted her eyes to look at him. âYou guys found the psychologist Nyasia?â
âYup. It seems like thereâs a chance I can recover fully.â He hugged the woman.
âIs it a man or woman?â she questioned after a brief hesitation.
âYouâre jealous again?â He raised his brows. âBabe, you must trust that I only care about you and the children now.â
Without giving her a chance to reply, he pressed his lips against hers.
She wanted to refuse but it had been too long since they kissed passionately. For a few seconds, her mind went completely blank.
Finally, he pulled her into his arms when she was almost out of breath.
When the film ended, he carried her upstairs to the bedroom. He sat on the bed as he read childrenâs books to the babies in her belly.
His magnetic voice was soothing to the ears. Eventually, she fell asleep listening to it.
She had been suffering from insomnia lately. It had been a long time since she had a good sleep.
The following morning.
Shaun received a phone call from Rodney after he woke up. âShaun, Sarah got drunk last night and I sent her home.â
âOkayâ¦â
âI think she went out drinking because of you,â the other man said in frustration, âShe kept mumbling about missing the chance and even cried.â
Shaun rubbed his temples. He had sensed her unusual tone during their conversation last night.
âRodney, Iâm married. Actually⦠If you like her, you should be with her instead of giving her up to someone else.â
This took Rodney by surprise. He could taste the bitterness in his mouth. âShe has always treated me like a friend.â
âHow would you know if you donât give it a try? Iâm going to be a father soon. This is not fair to her too,â
Shaun advised.
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.
Shaun got dressed before going to check on Catherine.
Morning.
He accompanied her throughout breakfast before leaving the villa for work.
