Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 270

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 270
“No. I’ve never had the intention of gaining anything from the Yule family.” Catherine’s voice was filled with weariness. “Anyway, I have to head to Canberra this time. I…”

“Go ahead.” Wesley gently placed his hand above the back of her hand. “Don’t worry about me. The caregiver will be looking after me.”

“Thank you.” In fact, Catherine was very touched. Wesley and Shaun were very different. Wesley was always gentle and tolerant of her.

In contrast, Shaun was overbearing and arrogant. She often had to tolerate his behavior. Whenever she wanted to do something, she had to pull out all the stops to persuade him in order to get his approval.

She found it tiring to get along with Shaun before this. She also disliked the fact that he had even gotten someone to keep a watchful eye on her.

Nevertheless, she somehow had difficulty getting used to the current circumstances.

“What’s on your mind?”

The woman standing in front of him suddenly spaced out. Wesley’s eyes flashed with gloominess, and he tightened his grip on her hand.

Catherine regained her senses at that moment, wondering what reminded her of Shaun again. “I was thinking that the Yule family is large, and it’s possibly a dangerous place to be…”

Wesley smiled faintly. “Don’t be scared. I’ll keep you company in Canberra later. You won’t be alone in that case. Actually, I just got back from overseas last year and have been planning to develop my business in Canberra. When a new economic zone was developed there two years ago, I had already purchased a piece of land to expand the factory.”

Catherine was dumbfounded and full of admiration for him. “I didn’t expect that you’re such a forward thinker.”

“The best is having the foresight to fall for you.” Wesley chuckled while pinching the tip of her nose.

Catherine froze. Shaun used to pinch her this way, but being pinched by Wesley made her feel uncomfortable and even a little resistant.

“It’s already quite late. I’m going back to my room first.” A slight smile flitted across her face. “Rest early after you take your medicine.”

She turned around, only to discover that he had yet to let go of her hand.
