Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 551 âYes, itâs her.â Madam Campos played a card. âMen, they need to be controlled. If not, theyâll hook up with someone else.â
âYou have a point there.â Catherine played her last card. âI win.â
ââ¦â
Madam Campos wrote a check with a dark expression. âDonât you understand what Iâm saying?â
âI understand,â Catherine said calmly, âBut nowadays, isnât it very normal for men to have an affair? I heard that Mr. Campos had an ambiguous relationship with his secretary previouslyâ¦â
Madam Campos felt humiliated. âThose are just rumors. Iâm talking about you now.â
âI told you, how many men wouldnât cheat on their wives? Furthermore, Shaun is the wealthiest man in Australia. There are countless women who want to have sex with him. I canât possibly care about all of them. I should mind my own business. When the twins Iâm carrying are born, I wonât even have to worry about my meals in the future.â
Catherine started shuffling the cards nonchalantly.
After she shuffled the cards, she noticed that the madams at her table were looking behind her with an odd expression.
She turned back to take a look. Shaun was standing behind her with a hardened expression. She did not know how much of the conversation he had heard.
Madam Campos burst out laughing. âEldest Young Master Hill, did you hear that? Your wife isnât concerned about you at all.â
âAunty Campos, you should mind your own business. I bet you caught your husband cheating many times ever since the Campos family became rich.â Shaun threw Madam Campos an icy glance. Her smile stiffened, and she felt as if she had fallen into an icy lake.
âStop playing. Letâs go.â
Shaun pulled Catherine up from the chair.
âHey, Shaun, what are you doing?â Old Madam Hill, who was at another table, stood up in dissatisfaction. âWeâve just been playing for an hour.â
âGranny, is one hour not long enough? How much longer do you want her to play? Are you hoping that my children will learn bridge for their prenatal education?â
After he snapped at Old Madam Hill, he grabbed Catherine and went to the car.
Both of them sat in the backseat. Shaunâs face was full of sarcasm. âMind your own business?â
âWhat else?â
Catherine yawned lazily. Her indifferent attitude made Shaun become filled with resentment. âIâm your man. You should place me first.â
âOh.â
Catherine nodded.
âWhat do you mean by âohâ? You never take my words to heart.â Shaun felt that his actions and words had no effect at all.
âWhat do you want me to do?â Catherine said annoyedly, âNag at you every day? Whenever I say something, you would think that I donât understand you. When I say something again, you would think that Iâm misunderstanding your childhood sweetheart and accuse me of not trusting you. I have no idea what youâre trying to do here.â
ââ¦â
Shaun could not find words to reply to Catherine.
He was filled with frustration.
When it became silent in the car, Catherine read a novel on her phone.
âThereâs radiation from the phone. Donât keep looking at it.â Shaun took her phone away.
Catherine simply looked out the window. She did not even have the energy to communicate with him.
âBabe, donât be like this. If thereâs anything that youâre unhappy with, just say it out. Thereâs no need to keep it inside your heart.â Shaun lowered his voice and tried to please her.
âIâm not unhappy. Iâm living quite a fulfilled life,â Catherine replied to him lazily.
ââ¦â
Shaun, who was completely shut out again, was aggrieved. âDidnât you tell me to bring you along if Iâm hanging out with Rodney and the others? Iâm hanging out with them tonight at the clubhouse. Come along with me.â
âIâm not going.â
Why did she have to ruin her mood by meeting Sarah?
âArenât you worried that Sarah will be there too?â
