Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 19

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 19
Kneeling down…

Catherine was extremely aggrieved. “Why don’t you ask Rebecca what she did to me? She—”

“Your sister is kind-hearted, unlike you. All you’ve done is have a falling-out with Janet. The Campbell family is one of the wealthiest families. Your sister deliberately established a rapport with Janet to ensure that the Jones and Campbell families would get along well.

“What about you? You did so many evil things and even hurt your sister. How did I end up raising such an ill-bred daughter like you?”

“I won’t go back.” Catherine gritted her teeth.

Sally roared, “Don’t ever come back, then. I won’t treat you as my daughter anymore!”

Catherine inhaled deeply. “Have you ever been concerned about me? Before she returned, you always thought that I wasn’t as good as others no matter how hard I worked. You wouldn’t talk to me apart from telling me off. Am I really your daughter?”

After she howled in pain, her tears gushed out.

Indeed, she was overwhelmed by frustration. She did not feel like returning to that home anymore.

She then pulled herself together and headed to a pet shop to ask about matters related to soothing a cat’s stomach.

It was the first time that the owner who reared a cat heard about soothing a cat’s stomach. He eventually handed her a book entitled ‘Food Recipes for Pregnant Cats’.

“Anyway, the recipes in here incorporate all the nutrients that a pregnant cat needs. There shouldn’t be any problem if you prepare food for your cat based on this book.”

After some thought, Catherine bought the book and headed to the supermarket to buy some ingredients.

…

At 4 P.M., she returned to Jadeite Bay.

When Fudge noticed her return, she meowed sluggishly and snuggled in her corner without moving.

The sight made Catherine even more heartbroken. With that, she decided to go the extra mile for Fudge to make things up to her.

Considering that the cat needed to take light food, she prepared a few salmon balls and included carrots and steamed vegetables in them.

In addition, she made the cat a few puddings as a snack.

Shaun got off from work and returned home in the evening.

Through the glass door of the kitchen, he saw Catherine busy cooking vegetables. One minute she was cutting vegetables and the next minute she was cooking them.

The delicious smell of the vegetables wafted through the crack of the glass door and stimulated his stomach. He was slightly hungry all of a sudden.

As Shaun glanced sideways at the table, he noticed the puddings, which were shaped like Hello Kitty, on a white porcelain platter. With their bright colors, the puddings looked quite appetizing.

He casually took a spoon to eat some pudding. It tasted quite different from the puddings he had eaten overseas in a Western restaurant back then.

The taste was strange. It appeared that the pudding contained chicken and some unknown ingredients, yet it was not too greasy. It was probably fine to have a few more mouthfuls of the pudding.

He had long since known that Catherine was good at making breakfast. However, little did he know that she could make creative desserts as well.

“You’re back, Shaunny.”

When Catherine slid open the door to come out of the kitchen with a platter filled with freshly cooked food, she was astonished to see Shaun who had almost finished the pudding that he was holding.

Gosh, that was cat food!

Her stare made Shaun feel a little uncomfortable. He reckoned that she was inwardly elated to see him eating the dessert she made.

At this thought, he coughed lightly and cleared his throat. “The dessert you made… tastes quite great.”

“…”

Catherine quivered, seriously wondering whether he would kill himself after she told him that the dessert was meant for the cat.

After flipping between her conscience and life for some time, she eventually forced a smile. “I purposely made it for you. Good to know that you find it delicious.”

Shaun glanced at her arrogantly. “You just need to focus on Fudge.”
