Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 1678

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1678

“ I’m not mad. ” Catherine shook her head. “I was just thinking about the relationship between us.

Shaunny, who am I to you?”

Feeling dazed, Shaun thought it over for a while before he stammered, “You’re my aunt… The person I love…”

Catherine forced a smile. “Shaun, I’m not your aunt. Fine, you won’t understand even if I explain to you. Let’s sleep.”

She tilted her body to face the window.

Deep down, she grumbled at herself for asking that question. She clearly knew that he was just a child who could not possibly love her. At most, he only liked her.

At the sight of her slender silhouette, Shaun felt as though something was clenching his heart and causing him pain. At the same time, he felt anxious.

Somehow, he felt that Catherine was feeling bitter. Was it because he had said something wrong?

Shaun found himself losing sleep for the first time.

When he woke up the next morning, he seemed listless with two dark circles under his eyes.

After Catherine was done helping Lucas and Suzie wash up, he silently came to her. “Cathy, help me too.”

“Brush your teeth on your own.” Catherine kindly squeezed the toothpaste for him before saying with a somber voice, “You can’t possibly rely on me forever. You need to learn to do it yourself.”

At the sight of her grave expression, Shaun reluctantly took the toothbrush from her.

After Lucas and Suzie finished their breakfasts, they headed to preschool. Shaun looked glum while clumsily eating the food in his bowl.

Catherine said, “ I’ve hired three teachers to teach you. After you finish your breakfast, you’ll learn some vocabulary and attend an English class. Then, you’ll learn about financial management in the afternoon.”
