Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1347 Freya took a couple of deep breaths, and Catherine hurriedly said, âLet her try one. One slice is okay.â
âAlright. Only one.â Rodney gave her the smallest slice.
âItâs none of your goddamn business. â Freya really wanted to explode.
âOf course itâs my business. I care about my child.â Rodney said carefully, âAlthough you donât acknowledge me, you canât stop me from caring for the child.â
Freya could not be bothered with him and simply washed the sashimi he gave her with cold water again.
Rodneyâs expression darkened. âIâm not sick.â
âI donât know about that. Youâve stayed with Sarah for so long. Maybe youâre infected with something.â
Rodneyâs face went red with anger. After a long time, a voice squeezed out of his throat. âI didnât do anything with Sarah, okay?â
âAhem.â Shaun and the others coughed.
Chester gave him an odd look. âYou canât do it too?â
âOf course I can.â Rodney bristled. âIâm not the kind of person who messes around with other women. I believe in sex after marriage.â
After a pause, he turned to Freya. âWhat happened to us was an accident.â
Freya, who was suddenly mentioned, flushed with embarrassment.
âAre you implying Shaun and I mess around with other women?â Chester suddenly said.
ââ¦No.â
Rodney hurriedly lowered his head and ate in silence.
He regretted it. If he had known earlier, he would not have come for this meal. It was exhausting.
âLetâs stop talking about the past. Cheers.â Catherine raised her glass.
Rodney picked it up, thought about it, and put it down again. âIâm not well enough to drink yet.â
âIâm driving,â Eliza said. Shaun. âIâm also driving.â
Catherine was speechless. In the end, the only ones who could drink were Chester and her.
âYoung Master Jewell, congratulations on your wedding.â Catherine raised her glass. âI hope youâll have a child soon.â
Chester was at a loss for words.
Could he not drink this toast? He did not want that blessing.
Then, fearing that these people would argue again, Shaun changed the subject and talked about some affairs in the business world.
Catherine ate for a while and suddenly looked at Eliza. âOh, do you like herring too? I had a friend who loved herring.â
âYeah, Cha⦠â Freya said two syllables before she immediately choked.
However, the three men knew who she was talking about.
Chester froze and was lost in thought for two seconds.
Elizaâs grip on her chopsticks paused as well, and then she smiled faintly. âI think herring is delicious.
Too much salmon makes me sick.â
âYeah, but I think⦠too much herring will also make me sick.â Chester took a slice of herring and raised his brows.
Eliza looked up and met with the manâs deep gaze. She could catch a hint of vileness in his eyes, and she chuckled. âYoung Master Jewell can even get sick of having too many women, let alone a fish.â
âYou sure know me well.â Chester smiled charmingly.
People who were not in the know would think that they were flirting.
â I canât help it. Iâve seen many people like you in the entertainment circle. â Eliza ignored his gaze.
âIâve also seen many women like you.â Chester swirled his glass. âTrying to attract my attention, just likeâ¦â
His eyes darkened, and he suddenly fell silent.
