Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 131
“Stand right there.” Shaun cast a bunch of keys and a card on the desk. “I’ve moved to Riverside Mansion. These are the keys to the villa’s main gate. That’s the same card you used before to spend for household expenses.”
This took Catherine by surprise. “Why did you move all of a sudden?”
“Fudge has three kittens now and the old place isn’t spacious enough. They need a garden to sunbathe,” he replied flatly.
“…”
She was speechless. Why was she not a cat instead? It was too tiring to be a human.
A cat did not have to cook and enjoyed the privilege of staying in a renovated luxurious villa.
“Don’t be jealous. Stay by my side loyally and you can live like that too.” The man twitched his thin lips slightly. As long as she stopped messing with other men and behaved well around him, he could let her be Mrs. Hill forever.
Anyhow, he had to remarry again if they ever divorced. That was too troublesome for him.
“Oh.” She pouted softly. She did not want to be his personal chef forever. Her goal was to keep earning money so she could repay the 400 million dollars debt as soon as possible. “I’ll move in two days later.”
“No, do it right now. I want to see you there when I go home later.” He frowned. “Your case is a tough one. I might lose if I don’t eat and sleep well.”
“Um… Sure. I’ll move in right away.” She tried her best to force a smile.
…
After leaving Jennings Solicitors, Catherine headed back to Freya’s place to pack her belongings.
They had lunch together as well. Before finally leaving, Freya placed a small box in her hand while smiling mischievously. “Remember to protect yourself. Don’t get pregnant.”
Catherine threw the thing away as if it was a piece of burning coal. Her cheeks were the color of ripe tomatoes. “Stop being so silly.”
“Well, I thought of using it myself. Patrick came to stay over that night. I thought something would happen then but he suddenly had to leave.” Freya shrugged nonchalantly. “You don’t have to use it, but don’t blame me for not warning you when you get pregnant.”
