Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 335
“I’ll do it.” Shaun took off his jacket and rolled up his sleeves.
Catherine was astonished. After knowing him for so long, she had never seen him so much as hold a spatula. How would he cook?
Shaun really did not know how to cook, but he could learn. There were many tutorials on his phone, so he believed that it could not be that hard.
After spending an hour, he finally cooked two dishes and a soup. The fish fillet, caramelized eggplant, and chicken soup looked barely presentable.
Catherine glanced at the back of his hand which had turned red because it was splashed with hot oil. If he did not apply some ointment to it immediately, he would definitely get blisters tomorrow.
Her lips moved, but she did not speak. He deserved it, so she would not be soft-hearted.
“Eat up.” Shaun scooped a bowl of chicken soup for her.
The chicken was badly chopped by him, and it was clear that his knife work was mediocre. However, the ingredients of the chicken soup itself were good and the taste was decent. As for the caramelized eggplant, Catherine felt that the taste was not something that could be described with just a few words.
Shaun tasted it and found that it did not taste good. He then cut a big piece of the fish fillet for her. “Eat this.”
Catherine, “…”
Fish was a food that injured people could not eat, but it was clear that he did not realize that at all.
However, she still obediently ate the fish and the eggplant, not being picky at all.
Shaun did not notice at first, but he later tried the fillet and found the fishy taste overbearing. In annoyance, he tossed away the eggplant and fish fillet. “That’s enough, stop eating. It clearly tastes bad. Why didn’t you say anything?”
His voice was raised in annoyance, and Catherine’s hands shook. Her large eyes were filled with anxiety and panic.
Shaun’s heart ached. He took her directly into his arms, his tone vexed and domineering when he spoke, “Catherine Jones, I’ll let you get along with me like you did before in Melbourne…”
Catherine was dumbfounded and stared at him with her head tilted. Her eyes trembled. “You want me to try hard to please you?”
Their time in Melbourne was different from how it was now. In order to woo him, she had obeyed him no matter what he said, forced herself to get rid of her temper, and given up all the things she liked to do.
