Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 863 âCatherine Jonesâ¦â Shaun interrupted Catherine with gritted teeth. His handsome face flushed with shame. âStop tying this back to Sarah and me, okay?â
âNo, I insist on doing so. I care about it.â Catherine wrapped her arms around his neck. âAm I more charming, or is she more charming? If you donât give me an answer today, you wonât hear the end of it from me.â
Shaunâs head hurt. As much as he felt like flying into a temper, the woman looked so lovely even when she was being unreasonable. How could he possibly be harsh with her?
âIs it so difficult to answer? I know, Iâm sure youâve slept with Sarah a lot. Iâm going to ignore you now.â
She pretended to be angry and pushed him away. Then, she rose to her feet and was about to leave.
In a state of panic, Shaun swiftly hugged her from behind. âBabe, Iâll answer you, alright? Actuallyâ¦
Actually, Iâve never done it with Sarah.â
Catherine froze. She turned around and glanced at him in disbelief. âStop deceiving me. Since you loved her so much previously, how could you possibly not have done it with her? Shaun, this is such a blatant lie.â
âIâm not lying.â Shaun gave a bitter laugh. â Whenever I tried sleeping with her, Iâd have an upset stomach. Iâve even vomited a few times. When I lost control and looked for you the other day, I didnât get framed. In truth, Sarah tried to do something to me but she failed. I ended up vomiting.â
Catherine was dazed. She had just wanted to sound him out. She did not expect what Yael said to be true.
âYou spotted me visiting the andrology unit before this, didnât you?â Shaun gripped her hand helplessly.
âI thought there was something wrong with me, but when I was with you later⦠I could function normally. I thought I just couldnât deal with Sarah, so I tried it with a few other women. In the end, they also made me feel like vomiting.â
âYou even tried it with other womenâ¦?â Catherine widened her eyes.
âI did that for the sake of understanding my condition. Anyway, I was never planning to do it with them.
Donât get me wrong. In fact, my private life is very decent,â Shaun quickly explained.
âBut why didnât you let me know earlier?â Catherine shrank away from his grip. âYou decided to be with me just because I can satisfy your needs, huh?â
âThis is exactly why I didnât tell you. I was afraid youâd have such a thought.â
Shaun said softly, âI want to be with you simply because I love you. It feels like home when Iâm with you. When Iâm alone, I keep thinking about you. Even during meetings, I canât help checking my phone frequently. Iâm afraid I wonât get to reply to your message immediately. Iâve never changed because of anyone. If not love, what is this?â
Catherineâs heart jerked in spite of herself.
Despite being clear about her ulterior motive for approaching him, she could not help but get swayed by him.
âCathy, stop overthinking, okay? Thereâs no doubt that I love you.â
Shaun turned her face gently and kissed her affectionately.
âBy the way, Sarah went to the hospital to undergo i n-vitro fertilization recently. Did youâ â
âNo. I only accompanied her twice for a medical check-up. I didnât approve of it. She wonât be having a child,â Shaun responded vaguely.
Catherine then hugged him without saying anything else.
Just like that, they would continue staying together for as long as they could. Even though she had a hidden agenda, she thought of putting it aside until some time later.
At this moment, Shaunâs phone rang all of a sudden.
He did not answer the call. When the incessant calls did not stop, he got up and answered it grumpily. â
Rodney Snow, are you asking for death?â
âYouâre the one asking for death, Shaun. Youâre actually in the mood to go on a f*cking trip with Catherine when Sarah is in trouble!â Rodney roared, âShe has been kidnapped! â Shaunâs red eyes darkened. âWhat happened?â
