Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1412 In fact, when Matthew was in Neah Bay, there used to be a lot of exotically beautiful women pursuing him. Nevertheless, he was not interested in them at all.
âIâm Matthew Costner.â
âCostner?â Catherine was surprised. âYour last name is quite rare.â
âYeah. Itâs because my dad is not from Australia. â Matthew said, âI came to Australia this time to pay my respects to my grandparents on my momâs behalf.â
â It seems like youâre going to leave Australia very soon, â Rodney suddenly chipped in.
âNo. Iâm waiting for my mom to come. â Matthew smiled slightly. âWeâre planning to buy a house in Australia. My mom has been living abroad for years, so sheâs planning to return here for some time.
Sheâll be traveling back and forth.â
A sense of disgust overcame Rodney. Apparently, Shaunâs love rival was not going to leave anytime soon. D*mn it.
Then, the dishes were served one after another.
Seemingly, it was Matthewâs first time trying crayfish as he did not have the faintest idea how to eat it.
At the sight of his dazed look, Catherine taught him how to eat step by step. âYou just need to pull the claws apart before you eat the meat inside. As for its body, peel it straight from the top. It tastes really good.â
As she was speaking, she placed the crayfish that she had peeled onto Matthewâs plate.
Freyaâs and Rodneyâs jaws dropped at the same time.
âThank you. â Matthew began to eat the crayfish, which tasted particularly sweet.
After learning how to do it, he immediately peeled a crayfish for Catherine. âLook, I got it. This is for you since you peeled one for me just now.â
âYou can have it, â Catherine said.
âYou dislike it, huh?â Disappointed, Matthew blinked his azure eyes, and Catherineâs heart somehow melted.
âNo. Thank you, then. â She quickly took over the crayfish.
Rodney and Freya seemed like third wheels during the meal.
Once Matthew finished the crayfish, he went to the restroom on the second floor to wash his hands.
Freya was finally full of vigor. âF*ck. How did you get to know such a handsome, mixed-race man? God is unfair. Why are you always surrounded by attractive men? Iâm really jealous.â
As Freyaâs husband, Rodney was so exasperated that he tightened his grip on his fork.
What the f*ck. Was she treating him like a dead man? Why was Freya jealous? That guy was good-
looking, but did that guy look better than him?
âWhen I went to buy some stuff this morning, I saw him getting robbed by a few hooligans, so I lent him a hand,â Catherine explained.
âOh, God. You ran into a wonderful man just like that. If I had known this earlier, I wouldâve accompanied you this morning. Although Iâm pregnant, I should be able to beat up a few hooligans.â A miserable look crossed Freyaâs face.
Rodney closed his eyes and nearly broke the fork in his hand.
All of a sudden, Catherine glanced at Rodney sympathetically and coughed lightly. âLetâs eat.â
âYouâd better keep a distance from that guy. You already have Shaun.â Rodney could not help but remind Catherine. â Shaun canât afford to endure the pain of losing you again.â
Catherine was momentarily stunned before she replied with a smile, âYouâre overthinking it. I treat him just like a brother. Somehow, I feel a sense of familiarity in him.â
Freya and Rodney exchanged glances, which was rare.
D*mn. Shaun would be in danger this time.
Relationships that got out of hand all began from a sense of affability and familiarity, right?
