Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1307 âNo, strictly speaking, it was 11:28 p.m. last night, â Shaun corrected.
Catherine was exasperated.
Brennan looked at them bicker childishly as a complex smile flashed in his eyes.
Once upon a time, Lea and he were like that too. However, they were young back then and did not know how to cherish each other.
After living half their lives, they were still alone. âWait here.â
Brennan suddenly got up and went upstairs.
Three minutes later, he came back downstairs with an envelope and handed it to Catherine.
Catherine took it and saw that it was the title deed and real estate certificate to Hill Manor, as well as a bunch of keys.
She was taken aback. âSo it turns out that the mysterious buyer of Hill Manor was you.â
âThis is the first time weâre meeting, so Iâll give you this manor. â Brennan smiled. âThink of it as a birthday present for my grandchildren.â
Catherine was shocked. âThatâs too much. I canât accept this.â
â Iâm giving it to Suzie and Lucas.â Brennan waved his hand. âTake it. I bought it back then to help the Hill family tide over their difficulties, not because I wanted to live in it. To be honest, I donât have any good memories there, but itâs different for the Hill familyâespecially the two elders who have lived there for decades.â
Shaun instantly understood. âDad, you meanâ¦â
âHill Manor is a good place. Thereâs an orchard and a horse racing track. Itâs very suitable for children to live in. I believe the children will like it very much, â Brennan said, âItâll be a waste for me to keep the manor but leave it empty.â
âButâ¦â
âTake it, Cathy,â Shaun said, âThis is a present from my dad to the kids. He didnât raise me when I was young, so itâs appropriate for him to show some responsibility for my children.â
âThatâs right.â Brennan agreed.
âThen⦠Iâll thank you on behalf of the children. â Catherine did argue anymore.
At 9:00 p.m., the two of them left the villa.
Behind them, Brennan stood alone in the courtyard with his hands in his pockets.
Catherine could not help but ask, âYour dad didnât remarry?â
âNo.â Shaun shook his head.
âI feel that heâs quite lonely all by himself. Is it because he canât forget your mom? Theyâre both single right nowâ¦â
âForget it. Itâs different. My dad hates my mom. â Shaun sighed. âThe misunderstanding between them isnât like ours. It also involves my grandmother. My grandmother was killed by Mason. If Dad hadnât gotten entangled with my mom and Mason, all this wouldnât have happened. â
Catherine was slightly surprised. â I didnât expect thatâ¦â
âMy mom already knows that my dad is back but she hasnât gone to see him. She just doesnât have the guts to see him, â Shaun said. âMy mom really made too many mistakes back then.â
