Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 136
Although Catherine had been in a relationship with Ethan before and the latter treated her well, the two of them had never shared a bed—not to mention massaging her belly gently when she was on her period.
She really did not expect the domineering Shaun to do something like this. Besides, he was extremely patient. In the end, she was the one embarrassed. “Alright, it doesn’t hurt that much anymore…”
“Keep quiet and go to sleep,” he ordered without stopping his hand.
She dared not comment further. Soon, because the pain had eased, she fell fast asleep.
The next morning at 6 a.m., he stirred in his sleep as she got out of bed to prepare breakfast.
“Where are you going?”
“Continue sleeping. I’m going to make breakfast…”
“You don’t have to do that since you’re not feeling well.” Once again, he pulled her back into his arms. He placed his palm on her stomach again out of instinct.
“It doesn’t hurt anymore.” She tried to stop him.
“Oh.” He closed his eyes again. She sneakily lifted her eyes to study his handsome features. Any woman would not be able to resist a man with his dashing looks, especially when he was being so gentle.
Something seemed to be pounding beneath her chest. Without a word, she silently lowered her head again.
…
The day had finally arrived.
On the day of the trial, Catherine, Shaun, and Hadley showed up at the court together.
