Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 519
“Shaun, I’ve been tolerating you for a long time as well. Cathy is pregnant with your children. Can’t you treat her better? Must you simply abandon her in the manor alone every day? She needs someone she can depend on,” Freya shouted angrily, “Can you stop being so moody and petulant? She’s a person with limits too.”
“Shut up! You have no right to meddle in our affairs.” Shaun pushed her away and lifted Catherine up into the car.
Catherine closed her eyes.
Honestly, she was furious at how rude he was being to her friend.
Of course, perhaps he had always thought they were too inferior to be on his level.
“What’s the matter? You can’t even be bothered to look at me now?”
He pinched her chin as a shadow veiled over his features. “Open your eyes.”
Catherine felt lethargy spread across her body. His elegant face appeared the second she opened her eyes again. It was still that same face, but her heart ached at the unfamiliarity. “Shaun, Freya is right. Can you stop being so moody and petulant? It feels like you could give me the stars when you’re in a good mood but you’ll lock me up in the freezer when you’re in a bad temper. I’m tired of living like this.”
“Do you think I want to do that? Why can’t you be a good wife? You know that I hate Charity but you threatened me with the babies just to meet her.”
His eyes were overflowing with rage. “Are our children less important to you than Charity that you’re willing to use them against me?”
She scoffed. “Do you think I had another option? I’m a human being too but you’re locking me up in a cage like a bird. I’ve lost all my freedom. I would rather not have your children if I had known this would be my life after marrying you.”
His body trembled.
A long time later, his hateful eyes were filled with disappointment. “Catherine, you don’t deserve to be a mother.” He scoffed.
She felt as if something had snapped inside her and she screamed at him hysterically, “Divorce me if you don’t think I deserve to be a mother! Go get yourself someone who can be a match for you!”
He clenched his fists into balls as he felt his temples throbbing. “Hadley, send her back to the manor.”
“No, I’m not going back to that cage.”
