Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 46

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 46
“It’s good that you know that. I thought you’re just foolish.”

Shaun felt unreasonably irritated to see Catherine skinny like a bag of bones. Harsh words spat out of his mouth. “I’ve not had a day of peace since marrying you. I don’t want to be questioned by the police when you’re dead one day. Do you understand?”

“There will be no next time.” She bit her pale lip to stop tears from rolling down her cheeks.

A surge of frustration rocked through him. He did not want to keep lecturing her, but she needed to stop making foolish mistakes like this.

“Where’s the phone I bought for you? Why was it left behind at the Jones family’s house?”

“My mom tricked me into giving it to her.”

“You really are a pig.”

“You’re right. Please call me Piggy Jones from now on.”

“…”

The bubble of suppressed laughter escaped from Chase’s lips, softening the tense atmosphere in the hospital ward.

“Alright, Shaun, stop crushing her. No one would expect such cruelty from their birth parents.”

Catherine shuddered.

Upon seeing that, Shaun twitched his eyebrows into a deep frown. “Keep your distance with that family if you want to stay alive.”

“That’s right.” Chase nodded. “Just focus on preparing meals for my friend. Look how bad-tempered he has become after not being able to enjoy your home-cooked meals in the past few days…”

“Chase Harrison.” Shaun threw a dangerous glance in his direction.

Chase stopped speaking immediately. Catherine could not resist smiling. “I’ll get better soon and start cooking for you again.”

“Keep quiet and focus on recovering.”
