Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1194 However, Shaun did not give up.
Instead, he hugged her, tightly holding her delicate body in his arms.
The evening breeze blew her silk nightgown. âCathy, divorce him. Wesley doesnât deserve you.â
Catherine was stunned for a moment before returning to her senses. She pushed him away. âLet me go. If people see us alone in the middle of the night, I wonât be able to wash my name clean even if I jump into the river. Do you want me to get beaten again?â
Shaunâs heart ached when he heard her words and he let go of her.
Although he wanted to hold her like this forever, he was even more afraid that she would get hurt because of him.
â Shaun, even if I divorce him one day, it wonât be because of you. Donât flatter yourself. â Catherine cooled her expression and deliberately said in a harsh tone.
âCathy, you know best if Iâm flattering myself or not. â Shaun looked at her and smiled. â If it were another man, would you have helped him like you helped me that night?â
At the thought of what had happened that night, Catherine blushed in shame.
She glared at him fiercely. âI did it because of Suzie and Lucas. I donât want them to lose their father. â
âYes, I understand. Thank you, mother of my children.â Shaun looked at her with a burning gaze a s though he wanted to set her on fire.
Catherine could not stay any longer and turned back to his car. â I canât be bothered with you. Iâm going back to sleep. Donât cause trouble for Wesley, or I really wonât be able to clear my name anymore.â
âIt canât be cleared anyway.â Shaun grinned.
âShut your mouth.â Catherine could not stop herself from yelling.
However, as soon as her facial muscles were pulled, she felt a burning pain on her face and hissed.
Shaun panicked. He had left the ointment at the Yule villaâs door. This was the first time he was encountering such a situation, so he did not know what to do. He could only act like he was coaxing Suzie. âDoes it hurt? Iâll blow it for you.â
He leaned over and gently blew on her face.
Catherine was speechless. He really was treating her like a child. âThatâs enough, stop blowing. Just donât make me angry.â
âWhen did I make you angry? Iâm telling the truth. You donâ t have to persuade me about Wesley. He hurt my beloved woman. If I give up, what kind of man would I be?â
Hearing this, Catherine glanced at his lower body and said with a vague smile, âAre you sure youâre still a man? Donât pretend I havenât seen it before. â
Shaunâs handsome face suddenly darkened when he was severely humiliated by her. What was more embarrassing to be humiliated by his beloved woman? âThis is only temporary. Iâm already in the middle of treatment. Iâll let you witness my true ability soon.â
âHoodlum.â Catherine rolled her eyes at him. âYou started it.â
Shaunâs expression was innocent. âCathy, you donât want me to go to Wesley because you want to protect me, right? Iâm powerless and pitiful now. Anyone is able to step on me, so youâre afraid that Wesley will retaliate against me.â
âYouâre delusional, Shaun. I donât want you to go to my husband and make my marriage more complicated,â Catherine snapped at him and refuted.
âI donât believe you.â Shaunâs gaze fell on her chest. â I can see that you were really anxious when you rushed down to chase after me.â
Catherine froze and looked down at herself. She realized that in her haste, she had not worn underwear when she came out.
Her face turned red again.
She ignored him and got into the car before swiftly driving away.
After the car drove some distance away, she glanced through the rear-view mirror and saw the figure standing in the night. Her heart involuntarily skipped a beat.
She then remembered Ethanâs sudden death.
