Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 400
“Alright, let’s have a seat.” Shaun led Catherine to the table in a calm and casual manner.
A variety of fruits and nuts were already placed on the table.
She shelled a couple of pine nuts but gave up quickly afterward as it was too much work.
Upon noticing that, he did the work and placed a couple of unshelled pine nuts in front of her.
She was touched by this sweet and thoughtful gesture.
“Cathy…”
Wesley’s gentle voice suddenly rang in her ears.
She lifted her gaze to the source of the voice. Wesley looked elegant in his blue suit and white pants. His eyes twinkled with shock and pity when he looked at her.
He took a step forward and lifted his hand subconsciously to caress her face.
Another hand grabbed his hand in mid-air. Shaun raised his eyebrows and hugged Catherine closer to him. “What’s the matter? Are you planning to harass my wife in public? That’s not a good move.”
“Shaun Hill, you’re no longer who you were before and I’ll win Catherine over in no time. You don’t deserve her.” After the warning, he turned to her and said gently. “Give me some more time.”
“Wesley, I didn’t expect to see you here today.” Catherine, who was stuck in the middle of two men, tried to steer the topic of conversation.
“I’ve been working together with Campos Corporation recently.”
As his voice trailed off, Charlie’s secretary came over and greeted him enthusiastically, “President Lyons, we’ve arranged a seat for you in the front. Only people who don’t matter get the seats at the back.”
“Is that so? But this is Eldest Young Master Hill…” Wesley, who had always despised Shaun, finally found a chance to ridicule the man.
“Eldest Young Master Hill? He’s not even qualified to be Young Master Campos’ servant.” The secretary snorted before leading Wesley away.
“Cathy, do you want to come with me?” Wesley suddenly extended a hand to the woman.
This caught Catherine by surprise.
She understood that Wesley hated Shaun, but after hearing that…
In fact, Wesley did seem like a different man today.
She even saw a little bit of President Thompson in him.
Shaun turned around to pat her on the head. “My dear, some men are really good liars. Look, I never try to hide that I’m a mean person, unlike others who portray themselves as good men but are secretly treacherous.”
“That’s enough, Shaun Hill! Do you think I could speak to you calmly after you stole my fiancée?” His face was now overcast. “Catherine, come with me. I have the ability to take care of you now.”
“Um, sorry, Wesley… I think I’ll stay here.”
She looked at him with a sorry look on her face. “Please go. I’m not a good match for you with my horrendous appearance.”
