Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 401

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 401
“I…”

“Did you hear that? My wife wants you to leave. Are all male homewreckers shameless like you?” Shaun hugged Catherine closer and said gently, “My dear, take a seat. I’ll continue deshelling pine nuts for you.

Something flashed across Wesley’s eyes as he looked at the woman who was resting her head against the other man’s chest. A shadow veiled his tense features before he turned around to move along.

Catherine sighed internally as she lifted her gaze to look at the man’s receding silhouette.

She really wished Wesley could move on soon.

Since she had made the decision to return to Shaun’s side, she knew it was unlikely for them both to be together again.

It was even more impossible now that she was still married to Shaun.

“Eat your pine nuts and stop thinking about other men.” He turned her face around. “Wesley is more complicated than you think…”

“…”

“Not everyone can attend this engagement ceremony. He’s not a local in Canberra and doesn’t have many connections, yet he managed to show up here today. Not to mention he secured a seat at the front four tables. Do you think he’s that innocent?”

Catherine had no words to say.

Indeed, she felt like Wesley was behaving rather unusually today.

…

After the ceremony.

The Campos family invited their guests over to the garden for the ball that would follow this afternoon.

The group of people began walking toward the door. Catherine was just rising to her feet when she felt someone bumping into her forcefully.
