Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 72
“You’re just overthinking.”
With a bitter smile, Catherine described the incident to Freya who was then overwhelmed by a sense of guilt. “Sorry, Cathy. I probably didn’t think things through…”
“Since he’s not into me, I shouldn’t have forced it. What’s more, I got together with him for selfish reasons. Freya, do you think that I shouldn’t have gotten married to Shaun just for the sake of taking revenge on Ethan?”
Catherine was dazed at that moment.
Freya sighed. “You’ve already embarked on this path. What else can you do when you’ve already reached this point? Are you going to stop halfway and get a divorce?”
Catherine remained silent.
‘Right. I should get a divorce, shouldn’t I?’
She got up upon hanging up. With the door of the master bedroom left open, she noticed that Shaun had already left.
She let out a sigh. After the incident, he seemed to have changed into a totally different person, which caused her to feel very tense.
She casually cooked some noodles. After she finished her food, she received a call from Joseph. “Catherine, are you done rendering the sketch for President Lyons’ villa?”
“I’m done.”
“Alright. Bring the sketch to Golden Corporation and meet him. He has been urging for it.”
“Okay.”
She did not dare to slack off. She quickly got changed and made her way to Golden Corporation.
…
The office was situated in the newly-developed ecological zone in Melbourne and surrounded by towering buildings.
As Catherine had told the corporation’s receptionist about her background, the receptionist allowed her to go up straight away.
When she was waiting for the elevator, someone walked out of another elevator. From her back, she looked like Ethan’s mother, Sonya Lyons.
Sonya failed to notice her. She just headed toward the main door with her purse.
