Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 405
Old Master Hill let out a long sigh after the others left.
Old Madam Hill poured him a glass of water. “Well, at this age, you might as well give up all power. To be honest, none of the younger ones is more capable than Shaun. It isn’t worth losing our title as the most affluent family for this.”

Hotel parking lot.
Upon entering the car, Catherine could not help stealing glances at the man sitting next to her as she fastened the seat belt.
He drove the limited edition sports car today. The cool, high-tech driver’s seat enveloped his sturdy figure. She had to admit that this man was too attractive, especially the way he spoke at the engagement ceremony earlier… How charming!

“Look at me all you want. There’s nothing wrong with appreciating your husband’s good looks. I won’t comment on anything.”

“I wasn’t looking at you. I was just stretching my neck. It feels rather stiff.” She looked out of the window casually after saying that.
He pinched her palm playfully as a burst of joyous laughter escaped his mouth. “Were you enchanted by your husband’s charm just now?”
“You’re making things up…” Before her voice trailed off, he grabbed her by the chin and locked his lips with hers.
This man… Would he ever stop?
