Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 276
Catherine’s face slowly turned pale.
She experienced a tight feeling in her chest, which caused her some pain. If possible, she wished she would never have to see him again in her life.
“You’re here, Young Master Hill!” Melanie coquettishly approached Shaun and hooked her arm through his as if they were a couple in the first flush of love.
“Yeah.” Shaun frowned almost imperceptibly, wondering what was wrong with the woman. They had only danced together yesterday, but she acted intimately toward him as if they had been in a relationship for a long time.
Just when he was about to break free from her grasp, Joel and Nicola approached him.
“Hello, Young Master Hill.” Joel gently shook Shaun’s hand.
“Hello, Uncle Joel. It’s my first time visiting you. Sorry to bother you.”
When it came to interacting with Joel, Shaun treated him with courtesy and respect.
“Of course not. It’s our honor to have you here,” Nicola hurriedly replied while full of smiles.
Joel glanced at his wife helplessly. Then, he politely said, “Come in and take a seat. It’s cold outside.”
Joel and Nicola made way for him.
Before Catherine could move away, Shaun came over to her and their eyes met. The second she met his gaze, she quickly looked away. She was worried that the longer she gazed at him, the more pain she would feel.
What was more, her mind was in a chaotic state right now.
Shaun’s dark eyes narrowed as soon as he caught sight of her. At that instant, a surge of emotions overwhelmed him from deep down.
However, he hid it so well that nobody realized it. Everyone only saw him staring at Catherine intently while being frozen to the spot.
Upon noticing that, Melanie was gripped with jealousy deep down. She immediately clutched Shaun’s arm and said with a pout, “Young Master Hill, what are you looking at? This is my dad’s illegitimate daughter with whom he has just reunited, but we don’t share the same mom.”
