Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 101

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 101
Shaun pinched the cigarette between his fingers and took a hard drag. Smoke lingered as he exhaled.

He put out the cigarette butt in the trash can beside him and walked toward her with long strides.

“Come with me.”

He dragged her to the other side of the restaurant.

Catherine was pulled by him behind a hallway of wine cabinets.

The light inside was dim, and the man’s face exuded an invisible sense of danger as he looked at her from above.

“What are you doing?” Catherine pushed his chest but could not get him to budge.

“You took the words right out of my mouth.” Shaun grabbed her hand, his face dark. “Are you having a good time with Wesley Lyons? Did you forget that you’re married? It’s no wonder you keep trying to divorce me. You’ve already found your next target, haven’t you?”

“Shaun Hill, watch your words.” Catherine trembled in anger at the humiliation. “There’s nothing going on between Wesley and me—”

“Would he send you flowers if there’s nothing going on between you? Would he bring you to a high-end restaurant? Would you smile so happily at him?!” Shaun’s anger grew as he spoke. He gripped her face and forced her to face him.

Catherine was annoyed and upset. “How can I blame him for liking me when I’m so talented and beautiful? It’s not my fault I’m so charming.”

Shaun laughed in anger and was just about to speak when Catherine interrupted him.

“I know you look down on me. I’m worthless and shameless in your eyes, but that doesn’t mean that I took the initiative to seduce another person into liking me. I want to divorce you because I feel that I can’t go on with you any longer. It has nothing to do with anyone else.”

“You can’t go on with me?” Shaun sneered bitterly. “You climbed into my bed one moment and say you can’t go on with this relationship the next moment. How am I supposed to believe you?”

At the mention of that incident, Catherine could not help but feel bitter about it. She wanted nothing more than to absolve their relationship immediately.

“That’s right, don’t you despise me because I climb into men’s beds? Did you forget how you humiliated me those days? You said that I’m cheap, dirty, and just looking at me disgusts you. Shaun Hill, I’m a human being, not a saint. I’ll feel upset too.”
