Let Me Go Mr Hill novel Chapter 52

Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 52
Again?

A feeling of frustration rocked through Catherine. She had been staying home preparing meals in the past few days.

“I’m just going out for dinner with a friend I met while studying abroad.”

Shaun laughed sarcastically. “Oh, so it’s a friend from university this time. Don’t forget how you were abducted to the hotel by your high school friend last time.”

“Whatever. Bye.” She hung up on him impatiently.

A hint of disappointment flashed across Joseph’s eyes upon seeing her angry face. “New boyfriend? Or husband?”

She widened her eyes in shock. “No way. It’s just my… Housemate.”

Although Shaun was her legal husband, the man refused to acknowledge that. Therefore, their relationship was purely just for show.

The corners of Joseph’s lips twitched into a faint smile. “It sounded like you were speaking with a partner.”

“Um… Really?”

Catherine felt her heart skipping a beat. This was how she normally interacted with Shaun. Perhaps it only sounded like that because they were living in the same house.

It had been a long time since she met Joseph. The two of them enjoyed the evening together and the dinner lasted until 9 p.m. He gave her a lift and dropped her off at Jadeite Bay.

“Remember to report to me tomorrow morning. I’ve accepted a villa case in the Green Mountain area. You’ll go over to take the measurements tomorrow.”

“Sure.”

She waved him goodbye. Her eyes trailed the Porsche into the far distance before she turned around to head to the house.

Coincidentally, she discovered Shaun, dressed in casual loungewear, looking down on her coldly from the steps. Fudge was nestled in his arms, looking like she was about to fall asleep.

“Your friend is a man?”

The deep furrow between his brows could squeeze a fly to death.

He thought about how he had to endure the poorly-made store-bought food when she enjoyed the evening eating and laughing with another man. Anger surged through him like waves.
