Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1041 âYou want to look for her? Itâs been so long. Wait a moment.â
Chase made a phone call to the housekeeping agency and checked for a while before reaching Aunty Linda. âAunty Linda is working as a nanny in this villa.â
Chase gave him an address. âIâll send you there.â âNo need.â Shaun took the address. âThank you.â
âDonâ t mention it. Iâm not used to you behaving like this.â Chase threw the car keys at him. âYou can drive my car over. Weâll have dinner together later.â
âThatâs rare.â Shaun glanced at him. âYou rarely contact the three of us now. How many times have you gone to Canberra and not invited us out for a meal? Youâre quite comfortable staying in Melbourne alone.â
For some reason, he suddenly envied Chase.
Although Melbourne was small, Chase was basically the overlord here. Life here was not as insufferable as Canberra.
Chase smiled awkwardly. âI didnât mean to lose contact with you guys, but you three always brought Tracy and Sarah around. I really didnât like them. I felt likeâ¦â
He suddenly closed his mouth. âForget it.â
âSay it,â Shaun ordered sharply. Even if he was dressed very ordinarily now, the aura in his eyes was still there. âChase, weâve been friends for more than ten years. Some things are better said clearly.â
âFine. I just⦠felt like you were a scumbag to Rin. Iâm not too familiar with Sarah either, so maybe I wasnât used to seeing Sarah replace Rin, whom you always brought along when I was around. Also, I really didnât understand why Chester got together with Tracy. Sheâs not a good woman at all. As for Rodney, his eyes were always on Sarah. He would listen to whatever she said. It was like his brain was muddled by love, and that was fine too. But I was very uncomfortable with you bringing them along to all of our gatherings. That was why I saw you guys less.â
Chase said honestly, âI often find it difficult to talk to you guys, especially in recent years.â
Shaun was silent. In fact, he had also realized that Chase did not like Sarah and Tracy. However, he really hated Catherine at that time, so he turned a blind eye. After all, it was normal for good friends to be estranged.
âDid I⦠love Catherine a lot before?â he asked casually out of the blue.
âI used to think that you liked her a lot, so I couldnât understand why you did all that afterward. Maybe she was just a pastime for you when Sarah wasnât around.â Chaseâs lips twitched.
âIs that so? Then tell me, what made you misunderstand that I liked her?â Shaun asked expressionlessly.
Chase looked at him speechlessly. âIf you didnât like her, why would you gift her the Queenâs Necklace?
That diamond necklace was worth tens of billions. If you didnât like her, why would you sacrifice sleep and rush over overnight to save her when you learned that she was locked up in the old Jones residence? Also, when the stone fell from a building on the construction, you ended up hurting your back to save her. You almost lost your life that time. Then, there was the time where you ate hotpot with her. How can you eat hotpot with that stomach of yours? The stomachache you got after was excruciatingâ¦â
After saying all that, Chase suddenly stopped. â Forget it. No matter how much you liked her, it canât compare with Sarah.â
âWho said⦠it canât?â Shaun suddenly smiled, but there was indescribable sadness in that smile.
âHuh?â Chase was a little confused.
â Iâll call you out for a drink later. â Shaun took the car keys and turned away.
When he got into the car, he realized that his eyes were slightly red.
He had no memory of what Chase said.
However, he knew that since Chase could answer so quickly to his sudden question, it meant that it was not a lie.
Those were things that had once truly happened between Catherine and him.
