Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 355
“Did I wake you?” Shaun tucked her under the covers. “Go to sleep, it’s late. Let’s talk about it tomorrow.”
“How’s your grandmother?” Catherine sat straight up, revealing her silk nightgown.
“She’s fine. She just passed out from anger and will be fine after a few days of rest.” Shaun stroked her long hair.
Catherine lowered her long eyelashes and spoke in a weak voice, “Shaunny, let me go.”
Shaunny…
She had not called him that for a long time.
When the two were in love in the past, she had always sweetly called him that.
Shaun was lost in thought for a moment, and Catherine got up to kneel on the ground. She looked up at him with eyes overflowing with tears.
“Let me go and let yourself go, okay? You saw what happened tonight. Your family won’t allow you to be with me. I really can’t stand this kind of life. So many people rushed in and pointed at me. Shaun, I’m also a human. I’m really tired!”
She burst into tears as she spoke.
Since her childhood, although she could not be compared to him, she was brought up by her grandmother. She had her dignity and pride. She could not be the third party in a relationship. She could not bear the disdain of others.
However, everything was ruined now.
She came to Canberra, but not only did she fail to avenge Sheryl, she even completely humiliated Sheryl’s name.
She just wanted to go back to Melbourne. She did not want to investigate Sheryl’s case anymore.
She was too tired. What happened today had broken through her last line of defense.
Shaun was in a trance. This was the second time today she knelt before him.
