Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 407
“But…”
“I’ll take care of this. Do you remember how Sheryl died?”
“Alright.” Nicola’s eyes flashed with anger. “He can’t blame me for being cruel if he’s being merciless too.”
“Okay.”
…
Morning.
Catherine was leaving for work after breakfast. The second she walked out of the door, she noticed Shaun trailing after her. The man was dressed in his beige loungewear and had both hands in his pockets casually. His wheatish skin color reflected the charm of a mature man.
The elevator leading to the penthouse was under safety examination today, thus she had to use the public elevator.
She glanced helplessly at the handsome face in front of her eyes. This man really looked effortlessly exceptional no matter what he wore.
“Why are you still following me? Don’t you have to get changed and get to work?”
“I’ll walk you to the car.”
Her heart skipped a beat upon hearing his low voice that was overflowing with affection.
It was the rush hour to get to work, hence it was busy inside the elevator. Young women, especially, frequented the elevator at this hour.
Catherine noticed that almost every woman who got into the elevator would steal glances at the man standing next to her. Some of the bolder ones even subtly leaned into Shaun when someone else stepped into the small space.
Her brows twitched into a slight frown. Honestly, given the man’s appearance, her younger self would also steal glances at him. It was completely normal.
However, it was crossing the limit to take advantage of a man like that.
“Wifey, my hands are cold.” He suddenly embraced her from behind and placed his hands inside her pockets. That affectionate look on his face made all the other women melt.
Nonetheless, they were shocked at the same time.
It was difficult to fathom how a disfigured woman could be with such a handsome man.
