Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1214 âI can divorce him if I want, but⦠not now.â Catherine gazed out of the window as soon as she finished speaking.
It would be fine with Shaun if she trusted Wesley, but what annoyed Shaun was that she refused to divorce Wesley despite suspecting him. She did not seem to care about her life at all. âCatherine Jones, why wonât you listen to me?â
âWhy must I listen to you?â Catherine asked him nonchalantly. âAll you have to do is look after the kids.
You donât have to bother about my affairs.â
âYouâre the woman I love. Whoâs going to care about you if I donât?â
Shaun instantly stopped the car at the roadside. Then, he moved her body closer to his and caressed her snowy-white face straight away. He made no pretense of hiding the domineering concern in his eyes. âYou just donât know how hypocritical and terrifying Wesley is. Are you assuming he wonât harm you just because he loves you? Youâre wrong. Since he could bring himself to kill the kids, thereâs nothing in the world that heâs afraid of doing.â
âAnyway⦠I canât leave him at this point.â Catherine could not resist averting her eyes away from his handsome face that was inches away from hers.
At the sight of her obstinate expression, Shaun was so furious that his heart ached. âCatherine, if you donât cherish your life and something happens to you, Iâm going to marry a wicked woman. By then, donât blame me if she abuses Suzie and Lucas.â
âYouâ¦â
Catherine could not help glowering at him indignantly. Despite knowing that he was provoking her on purpose, she was still terrified by his words.
âCathy, you can choose not to be with me, but I hope youâll be safe and sound.â
Pressing his forehead against hers, Shaun said in a gentle tone as if he was begging her, âForgive me for forcing you this way. I donât wish the kids to lose their mom, and I canât afford to lose you too.â
The manâs scent wafted past the tip of her nose.
With the windows shut tight, Catherine suddenly felt that the car was poorly ventilated. She could not resist extending her hands to push his shoulders away without looking at his long and black lashes.
âCathy, are you listening to me?â Shaun tightened his grasp on her head without letting her go. â Iâm serious.â
âShaunâ¦â His scent made Catherineâs face flush. âDo you need to talk to me at such a close distance?â
âYeah.â
Shaun fixed his eyes on her lashes that fluttered like a feather. His throat moved before he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
âShaun, Iâm currently not in the moodâ¦â
Catherine immediately pushed him away. The sight of the manâs burning eyes left her completely speechless. âSuzie and Lucas almost died, yet youâre aroused.â
âIâm not aroused. I just feel like kissing the woman I love.â
Shaun laughed in a self-righteous manner. âYouâre not in the mood for it now, but when you feel like doing it, just let me know. Iâm at your beck and call.â
âCan you behave yourself? If youâre involved with me, Suzie and Lucas wouldnât have encountered that kind of incident,â Catherine said in annoyance.
âYouâre wrong. If I werenât involved with you, you mightâve been leading a peaceful married life with Wesley and gotten cheated on even more. â Shaun added firmly, âSuch a hypocritical man might not truly be as in love with you as he said.â
Catherine was at a loss for words. Shaun seemed to have a brilliant mind, but he was an idiot back then, was he not?
âUnlike me.â Shaun gave an evil smile all of a sudden. âWhen I love someone, I show my love. When Iâm bad, I behave badly. Iâll never hide nor pretend.â
âSo, should I reward you?â Catherine snorted. â After all, everyone in Australia knows that youâre a n utter sc*mbag.â
ââ¦Ahem. Letâs go to the police station.â Shaun clenched his fist and coughed embarrassedly. After that, he started the car to divert her attention.
Catherine had a lot of things to think through, so she did not bother arguing with him.
During the journey, all she thought about was Luciferâs death.
