Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 196

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 196
At that moment, Catherine was so shocked that she sobered up. She quickly said, “That’s… Can you even walk? I’ll send you up.”

“No, I’m not drunk. I’ll never get drunk.” Freya waved her hand unsteadily and staggered into the neighborhood.

“Uncle?” Shaun raised his eyebrows in confusion.

Catherine jumped in fright. “It’s because you look a little like her uncle, so she calls you ‘Uncle’ in private.”

“Tell her not to call me that. I’m not related to her.”

Shaun started the car, and Catherine sighed in relief. Thankfully, he did not suspect anything.

On the way back, the alcohol and sleepiness got to Catherine. She blearily fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, someone picked her up gently.

She opened her eyes in a daze and clearly saw a handsome face. Thinking she was dreaming, she pouted her plump lips and draped her hands around his neck. “Shaunny, don’t be angry, okay? I really miss you these days. I’m so tired. So many things happened recently and I really want someone to talk to. I only have you now. You’ll always stay by my side, right?”

Then, she suddenly cried as she hugged him. Her tears slipped down her cheek and flowed down his neck.

Shaun was stunned. She was probably confused after waking up and thought he had not come back yet.

His heart overflowed with a trace of pain.

She must have been very stressed these days. After all, she was still a woman. So many things happened, yet he was not by her side.

“Yeah, I’ll always stay by your side,” he murmured softly in her ear.

The man’s gentle voice was like a tranquilizer, gradually calming Catherine down. She closed her eyes and fell asleep on his shoulder.

Shaun carried her upstairs and placed her on the bed gently. Looking at her soft cheeks, he sighed. He was completely whipped this time.

These days when she was not around, he had not slept well at all. Just as he was about to take a shower, someone knocked softly on the door outside.
