Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 803 Catherineâs words made Shaun feel at ease all of a sudden.
Despite knowing that he had a change of heart, he had still felt swamped by guilt all because of his promise from back then. After Sarah returned, she managed to cure his illness, but he could not bring himself to do it with her.
Nevertheless, Catherine was right.
Shaun and Sarah were merely in a relationship and they had never slept together. Previously, Shaun sincerely wished to marry Sarah. If it were not for Luciferâs appearance, he would have ended up marrying Sarah.
He admitted that Sarah was pitiful, but he was not the one who contributed to her heartbreaking past.
Catherine then continued, âIâm not an unreasonable person anyway. If there were no one by Sarahâs side, itâd be fine with me if you wanted to go and help her since youâre her ex-boyfriend. But someoneâs with her now and Sarahâs brother is in Canberra. If you plan to go there, I wonât give you a second chance.â
With that, she opened the car door and directly got out while carrying Suzie.
âFine, Iâm not going there.â
Upon noticing that she was leaving, Shaun quickly undid his seat belt and went after her. He took Suzie from her arms with a sparkle in his eyes. âSo can you give me another chance tonight?â
Shaun began to push his luck. âAfter all, you were trying to control me just now.â
âWhen did I control you? I was just telling the truth.â Catherine started to lose her temper. If she had not spent a long time lecturing Shaun, he would have gone to look for Sarah. How dare he ask such a question.
âAre you mad? Are you jealous?â
Shaunâs mouth curved into a mischievous smile.
Even though she maintained an impassive face, he knew that she was concerned about him deep down.
âYouâre overthinking it. I just donât want things to b e like before when you kicked me to the curb and divorced me immediately after we slept together. Shaun, all I want is a sense of security. I donât want t o always be the one who will be dumped at any moment.â
As soon as Catherine finished speaking, she walked forward without looking back.
At the sight of her black hair being blown by the night breeze and her fine curves, Shaunâs heart somehow ached.
Shaun went after her and entered the house. Then, h e placed Suzie on the bed in her bedroom.
âTomorrow, Iâll send Suzie to preschool. You donât have to come and pick her up. â Catherine tucked Suzie in bed.
âOh. â Shaunâs eyes swept over the house. He raised his brows with a sense of wickedness. âI think I might as well sleep here tonight. I can just sleep on the couch.â
âAre you dreaming?â After rolling her eyes, Catherine pushed him out of the bedroom harshly. â Freya will be back tonight. Itâll be awkward if you sleep here.â
âIn that case, I⦠I can sleep on the couch in your bedroom.â Shaun threatened her with a low voice, â
Arenât you afraid that Iâll go to the hospital and look for Sarah if you let me go?â
He did not expect this sentence to offend Catherine.
âIf you want to look for her, thatâs your business. Itâs not like Iâve tied your legs together anyway.â
This time, she directly pushed him out of the main door and slammed it.
Shaun ruffled his short black hair in annoyance.
He blamed himself for offending her with his stupid remark.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Freya walking out of the elevator while humming a tune.
When their eyes met, Freya was taken aback. â S- Shaun, why are you here again?â
What did she mean by âagainâ?
Shaun disliked the sight of Freya as she had ruined his opportunity to stay with Catherine.
âIsnât your office in the States? When are you leaving?â Shaun asked nonchalantly.
âLeave?â Freya was stunned. âIâm not planning to leave. Iâll be staying in Canberra to work.â
Shaunâs head hurt at the thought of this third wheel who would continue to stay here.
He pulled a long face and asked, âAre you going to keep staying with Catherine?â
âOf course. Weâre best friends, and we depend on each otherâ¦â
