Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 850 Shaun hissed in pain, but his eyes and tone were bitter. âYou praised another man.â
Catherine was speechless. âDid I say anything wrong? I used to think that Rodney was useless except for his looks, but it turns out he has strong points too.â
âHe has scolded you beforeâ¦â Shaun gritted his teeth and reminded her. What was more depressing than to wake up and hear the woman he liked praise another man?
âHave you scolded me any less?â Catherine reminded him. âYou better not say that others are bad, or Iâll bring up old scores again.â
Shaun silently buried her handsome face in her neck. âBabe, Iâm hungry.â
Catherine chuckled. âWhat a coincidence. Iâm hungry, too. I didnât eat breakfast, and now my body is all weak.â
ââ¦Iâll cook for you.â
Shaun resigned himself and rubbed her little face. â
But it may not be as good as yours. Donât shun it.â
â If you really canât, then just cook eggs. Iâll teach you.â Catherine sighed helplessly.
Under Catherineâs guidance, they had a simple breakfast. However, since she was too hungry, she felt that Shaunâs trash-like cooking could barely fill their stomachs.
After they had eaten, Hadley called to ask about the company, to which Shaun said, âBring some of my clothes to Hackett Institute. Iâll be sleeping here in the future.â
Hadley replied, âAhem. Okay.â
Catherine, however, snatched the phone away. âNo need.â
Then, she hung up the call.
âCatherine Jonesâ¦â Shaun gritted his teeth.
â I donât want to live together for now. â Catherine got up. âIf thereâs a need to spend the night, Iâll go to your place. By the way, remember to hire a nanny. I donât want to be your housekeeper.â
Shaunâs face darkened, and Catherine grinned. âDid I say anything wrong? My place is small, and thereâs no space for a nanny to live. If you move here, Iâll have to handle all your meals and clothes.
Iâm sorry, but my status is much more valuable now, so I definitely wonât do anything thatâll hurt m y delicate fingers. By the way, I have to enjoy whatever grand treatment Sarah used to enjoy.â
Shaunâs expression was grim, and just as he was about to open his mouth, Catherine pressed her slender fingers on his lips. âDonât talk to me about sacrificing for love. I can love you, but I want to love myself more.â
âOkay. Weâll do whatever you say.â Shaun did not know whether to laugh or cry. He had never intended to treat her badly. â Iâll hire a nanny and a maid. Iâll call Aunty Yasmine over, so why donât you come to my place and stay?â
âNo. There should be some occasional distance between two people. Weâll get tired if weâre always together.â
Catherine shook her head resolutely.
âBabe, I wonât get tired of you, â Shaun coaxed softly.
Catherine looked at him weirdly. âNo, Iâ m saying Iâll get tired of you.â
Shaun was at a loss for words.
What did she say? She would get tired of him?
Were her feelings not supposed to grow stronger the more she was with him?
Shaun took a deep breath. Having dealt a blow, his handsome face now looked extremely unpleasant, and he gritted his teeth. âCatherine Jones, Iâll give you one chance to rephrase your words.â
âI didnât say anything wrong⦠Ahâ¦â
Before Catherine could finish her sentence, she was turned around by Shaun and spanked on her butt twice.
Although it was not heavy, she was still furious. â Shaun Hill, how dare you hit me.â
