Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 53

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 53
Catherine refused, as she was still annoyed from before. “Sorry, I’m the sitter for your cat, not you.”

She emphasized the last two words. Shaun appeared nonchalant. The corners of his lips twitched into an enigmatic smile. “This is the love you proclaim you have for me?”

‘What I love is the position of being Ethan’s aunt! Get that clear!’

Frustrated, she opened the fridge to retrieve the baked sweet dumplings she had made last night.

He, who kept his eyes on her silhouette behind the glass sliding door, was exasperated too.

Nothing apart from the food she prepared piqued his appetite anymore. Perhaps she had drugged the food he had been eating all this while.

Shaun had just put on the cuff links, ready to head out when he noticed Catherine had changed into a beige windbreaker.

Beneath it was a dark pink shirt and a checkered maxi dress with tights. She looked effortlessly like a capable businesswoman, yet the outfit also highlighted her curves.

Moreover, she had put on a little bit of makeup. Pearl earrings hung below her earlobes. He found it rather difficult to peel his eyes away from the beautiful woman.

However, in the next second, he realized she was heading out. She had not dressed up for him.

“You’re going out dating again?” His voice was low, evidently revealing his displeasure.

“No, I’m going to work. I found a new job yesterday. I’ll be home to prepare dinner and also walk Fudge after that.”

He found no words to argue with that. Despite that, he was not bothered about her job.

“Giving out leaflets again?”
