Let me go, Mr. Hill By Shallow South Chapter 1922 âTry to persuade her. Iâll come over laterâ¦â
Just as he finished speaking, he heard the housekeeperâs voice. âMiss Neeson, donât move⦠Ah, letâs get up⦠Young Master Snow, I canât talk to you right now. Sheâs drunk and she fell.â
The call ended with a beep. Rodney became anxious.
However, the movie still had an hour remaining.
He looked at the time and went downstairs immediately.
In the cinema, a phone buzzed with a notification.
Freya lowered her head and took a look. Rodney had sent her a Whatsapp message. [Freya, something happened in a company thatâs under my name. Iâm going over first, so I wonât be watching the movie with you. Iâve already informed the driver to pick you up. You can contact the driver after youâre done watching the movie.]
After remaining silent for a long time, Freya could only process the information after gazing at the message again.
She had been abandoned halfway through the movie.
What urgent company matters had occurred that made him be in such a hurry?
Freya turned on the tracking device on her phone. She saw that Rodneyâs location was moving quickly.
It seemed that he was really in a rush.
Half an hour later, Freya confirmed that Rodney was not going to the company. Instead, he was heading to an unfamiliar place. It was a property that was developed a few years ago.
After the movie ended, she got in the driverâs car. She saw that Rodneyâs location was stationary at that place.
Upon checking it on her phone, that place seemed to be a high-class condominium.
Technology had become so advanced that she could simply search it up on her phone without going to the exact location.
âWhen Rodney got to the condominium, Sarah was already lying on the bed. Her face was flushed red from being drunk. The housekeeper was afraid that he would blame her, so she quickly explained, âI just managed to help her onto the bed. She kept saying that she still wants to drink.â
âWhy did she suddenly want to drink wine?â Rodney asked puzzledly.
The housekeeper thought about it for a moment. â She was already quite unhappy as she was staying home every day. She was playing on her phone this evening. Then, she went back to her room. After that, I accidentally saw her cryingâ¦â
Phone?
Rodney frowned. Could Sarah have seen the trending news that he and Freya were about to get married?
He had a feeling of helplessness in his heart. He rubbed his brows and said, âYou can go out first. â
After the housekeeper left, Rodney walked to the bedside.
Sarah looked at him with reddened eyes. Her gaze seemed unfocused. âGive me some wine. Let me be drunk. Living is just too tiring.â
â Sarah, donâ t be like this.â Rodney did not know how to console her.
âRodney, is that you?â Sarah cocked her head to the side. âAm I dreaming? Haha. How can you possibly be here? You should be accompanying your wife and child.â
Tears flowed as she spoke, âActually, Iâm really envious. Iâm jealous of Freya and Catherine. Which part of me isnât good enough compared to them? I just want to have simple happiness too. When I was young, my mom passed away. My dad married my stepmother soon after that. I know that she liked Charity more, so⦠I tried hard to be obedient and lived cautiously. I clearly knew that my brother wasnât reliable. I clearly understood that⦠He did many unforgivable things. But I had no choice. I only have my brother. I donât have anybody elseâ¦
âUhhh⦠I just want a man who loves me. I want a family. Why is it so hardâ¦
âIâm like a mouse that can only hide in the corner forever. I feel disgusted with myself.â
Sarah slapped herself hard. Rodneyâs throat felt bitter.
âSarah, donât be like this. â He quickly pulled her hand. âListen to me. Iâll protect you.â
â Iâm so, so tired. Sometimes, I feel like itâs better to die rather than continue living.â Sarah flung herself into Rodneyâs embrace and started wailing.
Facing Sarah, who was crying, Rodney could not push her away at all.
