Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 1449

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1449

“ I’m on the way back to the villa. What about you? Are you with the children?” Shaun’s hoarse voice came through from the other end.

“I’m out eating fondue with a friend. ” Catherine rubbed her nose.

“Who?” Shaun asked overbearingly, “Freya?”

“No, a colleague in the company. You go and accompany the children. I’ll go back once I’m done.” Catherine nodded vaguely. She did not mean to lie. Shaun’s jealousy was just too strong.

“What colleague? Male or female?”

“Shaun Hill, are you done?” Catherine pretended to be angry and said, “Why are you asking so much? Don’t you trust me?”

“Is it that difficult to answer my question of whether it’s a guy or girl?” Shaun asked coldly.

“So what if it’s a guy? It’s none of your business. I’m just eating with a friend.” Catherine hung up the phone without a second thought.

Opposite her, Matthew looked at her playfully. “I’m your colleague?”

Catherine explained awkwardly, “I can’t help it. If my boyfriend finds out that I’m eating with a handsome hunk who’s younger than him, he’ll definitely get jealous. He’s a very domineering person.”

“Then… Have you eaten with other young and handsome hunks before? ” A dim light flashed in Matthew’s deep eyes.

“No, ” Catherine told the truth. “I don’t have many guy friends. You’re the first. I feel… a sense of familiarity with you. If I had a younger brother, he’d probably be like you.”

Matthew froze.

Catherine smiled. “ I don’t have a younger brother, so don’t misunderstand. My parents only gave birth to me.”
