Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1192 âDad, I didnât marry Wesley because I loved him. I might have liked him a little, but it was more so because I was moved. He had done so much for me, so I wanted to give him happiness. I thought he was worthy of my dependence.â
Catherine bowed her head bitterly. âOnly recently did I realize that I might not understand him very well.
I often feel tired and stressed when Iâm with him. Of course, itâs also because I have great responsibilities.â
Joel sighed deeply. He had also married a woman he did not love, so he understood her feelings well.
âFine, do what you want. Iâm willing to support you unconditionally. Even if you remain unmarried and stay at home for life, I wonât dislike you. Besides, a man who would raise a hand against a woman is not a good man.â
Joel was the protective kind. He used to like Wesley before, but since Wesley had hit his daughter, he no longer liked him.
He did not care if his daughter had done something wrong. In any case, his daughter should be treated like a treasure. No one could bully her.
âThank you, Dad.â Catherine was sincerely grateful. â But I hope that you wonâ t intervene in this matter.
Iâll slowly solve it with Wesley.â
âAlright, I promise.â
The two little children hiding in front of the door immediately sneaked back into the playroom when they heard footsteps walking out.
Their eyes were wide open. Lucasâ eyes were filled with endless anger and disbelief. âI didnât expect that Mommyâs cheek was swollen because Uncle Wesley hit her.â
âBah, he doesnât deserve to be called âUncleâ at all.â Suzie was furious. âHe hit Mommy. I donât like him anymore. I hate him.â
âMe too.â Lucas clenched his small fists. Although he used to respect Wesley very much, his Mommy was the one person who should not be touched. For the first time, he deeply hated himself for being weak and unable to protect Mommy.
When he thought of how he set up Mommy and Wesley before, he felt upset.
Someone like Wesley was not worthy of Mommy at all.
Shaun was also unworthy.
He had to quickly grow up and protect Mommy.
âWe have to avenge Mommy, â Suzie said indignantly, âIâm gonna tell our scummy dad about this.â
She hurriedly took out her phone to call Shaun. Lucas did not stop her.
Suzie soon got through to Shaun. âSuzie, do you miss Daddy?â
Hearing Shaunâs voice, Suzie suddenly became choked up.
âWhy are you crying, baby? Who bullied you?â
Shaunimmediately became anxious.
âI was bullied, and Mommy was bullied, â Suzie said in an aggrieved tone. âMommyâs face was beaten by Wesley until it became swollen.â
âWesley hit your mom?â Shaun suddenly remembered that Catherine was wearing a mask when he saw her at noon. It turned out she was hiding her injury.
His heart seized up viciously while his hatred for Wesley reached another level.
âYeah, Mommy is really sad. She even said she wants to divorce Wesleyâ¦â
âSuzie, thatâs enough.â Lucas quickly ended the call.
Suzie glared at him angrily. âWhat was that for?â
âDonât tell him what Mommy said, or heâll think that his opportunity has come. Mommy is still married, so itâs not good for her to have contact with him.â
Lucas said seriously, âBesides, I donât want Mommy to get out of the frying pan that is Wesley only to jump back into the same fire again.â
âThat⦠makes sense.â
