Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 156
Shaun thought that he would have to waste his breath, but Catherine simply sat up and ate without hesitation. She finished every bite, just like a robot obeying its master’s words.
Shaun really did not know what to do.
He had too little experience in coaxing women.
He had already apologized. Now, he wanted her to return to her strange and bizarre self from before.
In the study at night, he started a video call with several of his friends.
Chester Jewell was wearing a bathrobe and held a glass of wine. He smiled elegantly and said, “What a surprise. You’re free enough to think of us today.”
Rodney Snow also chuckled. “Yeah, you never bother to contact us if we don’t contact you first.”
Chase Harrison laughed as well. “I’m guessing that you must have offended a woman and don’t know what to do.”
Shaun glared unhappily at Chase. That motormouth Hadley must have told him.
“If you ask me, this time, it’s really your fault,” Chase said, “I heard that Granny Jones has always been good to Catherine. The Jones family now is completely indifferent to Catherine, so you can say that Granny Jones is her only family.”
Shaun was silently frustrated and lit a cigarette.
Everyone looked at him with complicated gazes. Only good friends like themselves knew that Shaun never smoked unless he was particularly annoyed.
“What happened exactly?” Chester asked with a laugh. “Let us give you some ideas. I have experience in dealing with women.”
Chase said, “In short, Rin went to her grandmother’s funeral but was accused of cheating by Shaun and got severely humiliated.”
Rodney blushed with shame. “Isn’t that just adding insult to injury?”
