Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 63

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 63
Could Catherine get drunk before Shaun did?

Amid her distress, Shaun gave her a call. “Where are you?”

“In the office.”

“Send me your address. I’ll pick you up downstairs in 20 minutes. You’ll accompany me to a birthday banquet.”

Here came the opportunity.

Catherine’s eyes sparkled, but she was subsequently filled with dissatisfaction. “You didn’t want to attend my grandma’s birthday banquet, so why should I accompany you this time?”

“If you’re not willing to come with me, that’s fine. I’ll look for someone else…”

Just as Shaun was about to hang up, Catherine gave in and saved the situation. “I’m coming, I’m coming. In the love arena, it’s always the person who falls in love first who loses. I’m doomed to completely lose my heart to you. How brilliant you are.”

With that, she took the thermos flask and sipped on her coffee. Even she was impressed by her own flirting skills.

A few seconds later, Shaun’s voice came from the other end. “My phone is connected to the car via Bluetooth, and Chase is seated beside me.”

Splat! Catherine spat out the coffee in her mouth onto the computer screen.

Chase’s voice subsequently sounded, “Not bad, Sister-in-law. I couldn’t tell that you can flirt so well. No wonder Shaun—”

“I’m coming.”

The call was hung up straight away.

Catherine lay on the table, feeling embarrassed to death.

She dawdled when packing her things and went downstairs afterward. At that time, she received a call from Freya.

“How did things go? Did you manage to progress things with your husband to a point of no return last night?”

“No, but he asked me to accompany him to a birthday banquet tonight. I think this is the chance. Having said that, when he goes out for social activities at night, I’ve never seen him get drunk…”

Catherine sighed, knowing that Shaun was a very sensible person.
