Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 741 Catherineâs eyebrows twitched. âDid Shaun come in just now?â
âYeah, scummy dad said he was cold, so I opened the door and let him come in to take a blanket, â
Suzie said drowsily.
Catherine looked at the distance from the doorway to the chaise longue. It was definitely enough for Shaun to see what was happening in the bathroom, and the door was only half-closed earlier.
At the thought of that scene, she instantly wanted t o kill herself from the shame and anger.
She pulled Suzieâs ear and snapped, â Since you call him your scummy dad, why do you care about him? If heâs cold, then just let him be. Why did you let him come in? Didnât you know I was showering?â
âWhat about it?â Suzie blinked in confusion.
Catherine explained in exasperation, âMommy taught you that you canât let strangers see your body. Itâs the same reason why Shaun canât see me taking a shower. Do you understand?â
âOh, so scummy dad saw Mommyâs body earlier. Is that it?â Suzie said, only half-understanding.
Catherineâs whole face turned red.
âMommy, your face is really red, â Suzie said in concern.
âShut up.â Catherine suddenly found herself unable to converse with Suzie.
âMommy, you havenât told me what will happen if scummy dad sees you. â Suzie frowned and asked curiously, âDid he do a bad thing? Should he be arrested? Do we have to call the police?â
â In short⦠In short, itâs not good. Itâs very bad. â Annoyed, Catherine changed the topic. âRight, you havenât fessed up. How did you get hurt today? Tell me the truth quickly.â
âItâs because I⦠let that bad stepmother give me a bath. During that time, I deliberately tortured her, and she pushed me to the ground, â Suzie said happily. âMommy, you didnât see how angry scummy dad was. That wicked stepmotherâs face was super ugly when scummy dad scolded herâ¦â
Halfway through speaking, Suzie suddenly realized Catherineâs unpleasant expression. âMommy, whatâs wrong?â
âWhat do you think?â Catherine suddenly raised her bum and spanked her a few times. âDo I need you to teach Sarah a lesson for me? How old are you?â
âMommyâ¦â Suzie cried in aggrievance.
Catherine glared at her with reddened eyes. âSusan Jones, youâre too naive. You could give Sarah a lesson today because she still doesnât know who you are. The horror and malice of adults are beyond the understanding of children like you. You should b e glad that she only pushed you today. What if you never see Mommy again?â
Suzie was petrified.
Catherine took her into her arms. âMommy doesnât want you to injure yourself avenging me. Mommy has her own plans. All I want is for you to grow up healthily. Donât go to Shaunâs villa anymore. From now on, you should stay in the manor obediently. Why donât you go to kindergarten with Lucas in a few days? Donât you miss Lucas?â
âYeah, I miss him.â Suzie choked and said hoarsely, âIâm sorry, Mommy. I made you worry.â
âMommy doesnât want you to get hurt because Mommy loves you very much, so you must love yourself too. Understand? â Catherine said gently.
âYes.â
Suzie soon fell asleep in her motherâs arms.
On the sofa outside.
With only a blanket, Shaun was no longer cold anymore. In fact, his body felt as hot as a volcano.
As soon as he closed his eyes, his mind filled with images of Catherine bathing.
He gulped.
It was a strange yet familiar feeling.
In the past, no matter how seductively dressed Sarah was, he had never felt like this before. Yet just one look at Catherine was enough to make his body burn.
This was not his first time seeing her like this, but n o matter whether it was before or after the divorce, he had a strong attraction to that woman.
In the end, he had no choice but to take a cold shower.
After the cold shower, he lay back on the sofa.
However, the blanket was so thin that he barely slept through the night. The next day, he woke up with a sore throat and a mild fever.
