Let Me Go Mr Hill novel Chapter 169

“…”

Shaun’s handsome face froze imperceptibly for a moment.

“By the way, what were you going to say?” Catherine asked when she remembered.

Shaun snorted in a teasing manner. “I wanted to ask why you weren’t choked to death.”

Catherine was at a loss for words, wondering why the man was speaking so cruelly. What piqued her curiosity more was what happened last night.

His masculine voice that conveyed a hint of sarcasm sounded, “Forget about it. He doesn’t care about the miserable amount.”

Catherine did not mind. “Well, let me treat him to a meal as a token of my appreciation then…”
