Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 499 âGo ahead. Grandma would have turned off her phone at this hour to sleep.â Shaun domineeringly took her into his arms, and his left hand strayed toward her stomach. âLet me see if our two little babies have grown a little today.â
âTheyâre only a month old now. There wonât be any changes.â Catherine pushed his hand away speechlessly. âGo away. I want to sleep.â
âYou havenât answered my question.â Shaun stared intently at her. âWho wants to be the childrenâs godmother? If itâs Freya Lynch, I disagree because her IQ is worrying. If itâs Charity Neeson, I disagree even moreâ¦â
âShaun Hill, did you come over in the middle of the night to argue with me?â Catherine grew angry and hit him with the pillow. âThe children are mine. Itâs my decision on who gets to be their godmother. If you donât stop nagging, I wonât give birth to them.â
âWhat did you say?â Shaunâs face suddenly darkened. âCatherine Jones, think before you speak. Donât think that the children wonât understand what youâre saying just because theyâre little fetuses now. Have you thought about their feelings?â
Catherine was pregnant, so her emotions were easily agitated. With just a few admonishments, her eyes turned red with grievances. âYouâre the one who aggravated me. Iâm telling you, if you want to get back together with me, you have to accept my friends too.â
Shaun panicked when she started crying. âOkay, donât cry.â
Not only did Catherine not stop, but her tears also came streaming down and she yelled even louder.
âWhatâs more, how dare you look down on my friends?! Is Rodney Snow that smart? I think heâs dumber than a pig. As for Chester Jewell, heâs just a playboy. Theyâre all useless.â
ââ¦â
Shaun was suddenly a little dumbfounded at her criticisms.
Logically speaking, he should be angry that she was scolding his friends.
However, when he saw her tears, his heart hurt like it was about to melt from the pain. âDonât cry.
Crying isnât good for the children.â
âI want to cry. Itâs your fault for disturbing me at night. I just want to have a good nightâs rest but you donât even allow me that much.â
The pain she had been bottling up in her heart these days suddenly came bursting out.
Catherine could not control it at all.
Even Aunty Zara, who was keeping watch in the small room next door, was startled by the noise and came in.
âEldest Young Master Hill, how did you come in?â Aunty Zara immediately tore Shaun away. âThe old madam told me to keep an eye on you. The young madam is now going through an important period, so you two canât sleep together. What a good job youâve done! You sneaked over and even caused her to cry. Hurry up and get out.â
It was fine if she were just an ordinary servant, but Aunty Zara had been with the old madam for decades. Although Shaun did not dare to do anything, he still felt very aggrieved. âI just came over to tell the baby a story.â
Catherine rubbed her eyes and became choked with anger. âYou came over⦠to anger me. Leave!â
âEldest Young Master Hill, please leave quickly.â Aunty Zara hurriedly threw him out.
It was not until everyone left that Catherine slowly stopped her tears, but her heart was still upset.
When she got up the next day, she had dark circles under her eyes.
During breakfast, the two elders found out about last nightâs incident and Old Master Hill lost his temper on the spot. âDo you even want your children? How old are you now? Youâre not sensible at all!â
Old Madam Hill was also angry. âThe balcony will be sealed in the future. Donât let him have the opportunity to sneak in again. You undisciplined hoodlum!â
Shaun, whose face fell at their scoldings, gently rubbed Catherineâs calf with his foot. âDearâ¦â
Catherine looked away and totally ignored him.
â¦
Two days later.
In a hospital in Melbourne.
Freya received a call from the hospital and immediately rushed over.
It was a Monday and the hospital was crowded. She circled the parking lot for more than ten minutes before finally finding an empty spot. However, while reversing, a red sports car quickly slotted in and almost hit her car. It scared her so much that her heart skipped a beat.
âAre you insane?!â
Freya screamed in anger and opened the door, rushing out. âDo you have any morals? Didnât you see that I was reverse parking? You almost hit my car!â
