Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 646
Just as Catherine finished speaking, she saw a shadow looming over her.
Shaun was glaring at her with a hard expression, and his eyes were blazing.
“Who are you on the phone with? Joseph?”
She even said the word ‘darling’ and gave a kiss to that person on the other end of the phone.
When he thought about her being so intimate with a guy, he had the urge to strangle her.
Catherine was shocked. She was talking to Suzie and Lucas. She could never let Shaun discover their existence.
“What does it have to do with you?”
Catherine took off her earphones in a hurry and wanted to hang up the call. However, she did not know that her frantic actions only made Shaun feel like she was trying to hide something. He snatched her phone angrily and put the call on speaker. “Joseph?”
“Shaun…” Catherine’s heart was about to leap out of her throat. She hoped that Suzie and Lucas were quick-witted.
“Uncle, who’s Joseph?” A naive, childish voice was heard from the phone.
Shaun was taken aback. He never expected that it would be a little girl’s voice. Furthermore, that voice was speaking in baby talk. It could make people’s hearts go soft.
However, why was Catherine so close with a kid?
“I got the wrong person. Who are you? What is your relationship with Catherine?” Shaun tried to soften his voice to avoid scaring the little girl.
“Uncle, why are you talking to me as if you’re interrogating a criminal?” Suzie said unhappily.
“…” Shaun had a headache. He had lived up till now but did not know how to communicate with kids at all.
“Shaun, give my phone back to me.” Catherine stretched her hand to snatch it. Shaun immediately held the phone with his other hand and lifted it high.
