Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 450 Only the sound of the burning charcoal could be heard amid the silence.
A while later, Shaun took his coat and then put his hand around Catherineâs waist. âI donât feel like eating anymore. Itâs boring. Letâs go to my room.â
âI feel like going home,â Catherine said all of a sudden.
Rodney was very glum. âShaun, didnât you promise to go fishing in the sea tomorrow morning? You can ask Hadley to send her home. Itâs rare that all of us are free to get together and have fun.â
âSuit yourselves.â Catherine broke free from Shaunâs grasp and walked forward.
âIâm not joining tomorrow.â Shaun went after Catherine with big strides.
Shelley hurriedly took some stuff and went after them as well.
Rodney was so annoyed that he kicked the barbecue grill down.
â¦
On their way home.
Hadley drove Catherine and Shaun, who were seated in the backseats, as well as Shelley, who was seated in the passenger seat.
After some time, Shelley cautiously handed a slice of cake to Catherine and Shaun. âEldest Young Master Hill, Young Madam, have this slice of cake to fill your tummies since you guys didnât eat anything for dinner.â
Catherine remained still and stared Shelley down until her face became increasingly pale.
With a frown, Shaun stretched out his hand to take the cake. Then, he put it in front of Catherine. âItâll take at least another hour for us to get home. Just eat it.â
âNo need. I donât feel like eating.â Catherine lowered her head and played with her phone.
The atmosphere on their way back to the seaside villa was tense.
When Shelley got out of the car, her eyes were all red.
Catherine turned her head around and glanced at her. âWhatâs wrong? I donât think I did anything to you during the journey.â
âYoung Madamâ¦â Shelley was at her witsâ end. It seemed as if the tears in her eyes were going to trickle down her cheeks at any time. âSorry.â
âSorry for what?â Catherine kept an impassive face. âStop acting like youâre aggrieved and intimidated.
It might make other people think that I bullied you.â
Shaun furrowed his brows. âCathyâ¦â
âIâm just saying whatâs on my mind.â After throwing him a glance, Catherine walked into the villa right away.
Shelley bit her lip. âEldest Young Master Hill, Young Madam doesnât seem too fond of me. I really have no idea what to do.â
âJust go and rest for now.â
Shaun sighed. He turned around and followed Catherine into the bedroom. âNow that youâve vented your anger, do you feel better?â
âNo. If I insist on being friends with Charity, are you going to divorce me?â Catherine lifted her head and watched the manâs handsome face darken.
âStop it. You really took Charityâs words seriously.â
âCan you answer my question?â Catherine looked at him firmly.
A trace of impatience flashed across Shaunâs brow. âI wonât divorce you, but I wonât allow you to be friends with her either. You donât know Charity. Sheâs a wicked woman.â
âWhat are the unforgivably wicked things she has done? Can you give me an example?â Catherine asked out of curiosity.
ââ¦â
Shaunâs eyes darkened, then he looked away. âShe has done too many wicked things in the past.
Anyhow, Iâm doing this for your own good.â
