Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 281
“I thought you were worried that I’d take the Yule family’s inheritance.” Catherine smiled faintly.
“You’re just a country bumpkin.” Melanie looked like she heard a joke. She turned to Shaun and said, “Eldest Young Master Hill, don’t you think she’s too indulgent in her fantasies? I’ve never attached any importance to her. Not only is she uneducated, but she’s also just a country bumpkin who has no idea what the world is like.”
Shaun gave her a sideways glance. If he did not know Catherine, he would have agreed with Melanie’s words, but Catherine was clearly a graduate from one of the finest institutes abroad. She even won awards in architecture and interior design. She was much better than Melanie, the precious daughter of the Yule family who had wasted her parents’ money by studying abroad.
However, Melanie had not realized that compared to Catherine, she simply appeared short-sighted and stupid. Catherine was dressed in an ordinary light purple down jacket today. With her bright eyes, white teeth, and pure features, Shaun felt that he must have been blind before to compare Melanie to Catherine.
“Yes, I’m just a country bumpkin, while you’re the bright moon hanging in the sky. I wouldn’t dare compare to you.” Catherine’s smile was calm and indifferent, like a white lily.
“It’s good that you know.” Melanie smiled with an arrogant expression.
“Enough, go in…”
Shaun only felt embarrassed and turned to enter.
Melanie hurried after him.
Only then did Catherine leave and get into the car.
…
In the dining hall, there was a table full of delicious foods.
Melanie attentively placed food on Shaun’s plate, but the more Shaun looked at her, the more unsightly she seemed. He got up and said, “I have no appetite. I’m leaving.”
“Eldest Young Master…” Melanie was at a loss. “Did I do something wrong?”
“What do you think? Don’t follow me,” Shaun sneered sarcastically and turned away without looking back.
Melanie watched his tall and upright figure leave. She was so anxious that tears fell from her eyes.
