Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 724
Fortunately, it was already past the hour where employees were coming to work. Otherwise, Catherine could imagine every female employee in the company staying back to admire his good looks.
“Why are you here again?” Catherine walked over i n her high heels. She tapped on his car with her fair fingers. “President Hill, you can’t park here.”
Shaun glanced down at her. She was utterly bare – faced and did not wear any makeup that day.
However, that did not affect her beauty in the slightest. Instead, it made her little face look clean and soft. Her features looked even tidier and exquisite when she was not wearing makeup.
He unbuttoned one of the buttons of his shirt where his chest area was. His mouth felt dry.
“This… is yours.”
He retrieved a velvet box from his car. He opened it and revealed The Queen’s Necklace that was inside it. Catherine was taken aback.
The Queen’s Necklace had been bought by him for her in Melbourne at the price of three billion dollars. It was also evidence of their love.
She had been carefully keeping it until three years ago when she fell into despair. She ended up forgetting about it and leaving it behind.
“It used to be mine, but it’s no longer mine now.” Catherine smirked, but her eyes were downcast. She hid the complicated feelings in her eyes.
“What do you mean?” Shaun frowned.
“You gave it to me as a gift before, but maybe you don’t remember, ” Catherine said calmly.
Shaun’s eyes darkened. “It must’ve been you who insistently begged me to buy it for you.”
Catherine laughed. “Think what you what, but we’re divorced now. You can give it to Sarah.”
She walked past him after she spoke.
Shaun grabbed her wrist instinctively. He put the box in her hands. “ Sarah will not want something that you’ve worn before. Take it.”
