Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 532
“You can check my body to see if there are any marks. I’m innocent.” Shaun stretched out his arms and turned around in front of Catherine.
Catherine could not bring herself to look at him. She rose to her feet and pushed him away. Then, she walked to the bathroom. “Get in now, you hoodlum.”
“Stop crying, my dear. I’ll only behave like a hoodlum in front of you.” Shaun seized the opportunity to pull her into his arms and planted a kiss on her face. After that, he said shamelessly, “I just feel like behaving like a hoodlum in front of you.”
“Shaun, I hate this behavior of yours.”
Catherine raised her hands and pounded him. She did not feel better. Instead, she felt increasingly aggrieved and wept more bitterly. “You always criticize me without getting your facts right and begin rewarding me afterward. I disallow from meeting Sarah.”
“That’s not possible, babe.” A bitter smile flashed across Shaun’s face. “I’m afraid only she’s capable of treating my illness. Do you want me to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease at such a young age and forget about you and our children?”
Catherine bit her lip in agony. “I can’t stand you guys spending so much time together all the time. Otherwise… ask her to treat you in the manor, and I’ll watch from outside.”
Shaun pinched her cheeks lightly. “What a domineering wife you are. I didn’t realize that earlier.”
Catherine glared at him. “Shaun, you need to understand that I wouldn’t care about you if it weren’t for the children.”
“What do you mean?” Shaun’s eyes narrowed. “So you’re staying by my side only because of the children?”
“Think about what you’ve done. At first, you kept Shelley by your side, and now you have Sarah with you. I feel worn out. I don’t know how long my love for you will last,” Catherine said bitterly and frankly.
Shaun felt sorry deep down.
He had not expected that Sarah would turn out to be his psychologist either.
Having said that, he really had no intention of getting back together with Sarah. “I’ll listen to you, babe.”
By the time Shaun came out of the bathroom, Catherine was already lying on the bed. She kept tossing and turning, having difficulty falling asleep.
