Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1176
After the cake was cut, Hannah gave the first slice of cake to Catherine. “Madam Lyons, our family servant was
quite thoughtless just now. Please
don’t be offended.”
She deliberately said ‘Madam Lyons’ loudly and used polite words, which made Catherine sound very old.
Everyone could sense it.
However, Catherine accepted the cake while smiling without any care. “I never took it to heart in the first place.
Thank you, Miss Mead. You and your friend are so polite. Your friend even called me ‘Aunty’ just now.”
Camilla, who was brought up all of a sudden, was stunned.
A trace of glee flashed across Shaun’s eyes. He raised his eyebrows and continued where Catherine left off. “You’re
my ex-wife and we’re of the same seniority. Won’t Miss Mead and Miss Cross have to call me ‘Uncle’ then?”
Catherine looked at Shaun approvingly. He was doing a decent job of cooperating with her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShaun saw Catherine’s dark eyes sweeping across him charmingly, which was rare. He was in such a good mood
that he smiled with delight.
Hannah almost threw the cake seeing them agreeing with each other. However, she held back and behaved in a
spoiled manner with Shaun. “Okay then, I’ll call you ‘Uncle’ from now on. Speaking of this, aren’t there many
romance dramas from Country H about younger women having sweet relationships with older men?”
Shaun said indifferently, “Unfortunately, I’m not a citizen of Country H.”
“It’s alright. We still have plenty of time.”
Some things had already been exposed, so Hannah did not bother hiding anymore.
She grew particularly attentive to Shaun afterward. That made many young masters throw jealous looks at Shaun.
“Uncle, let me give you a toast.” Hannah came over bringing a glass of red wine. “Thank you for joining my
birthday party today. This is the happiest birthday of my life.”
Everyone was looking at them both.
It was not good for Shaun to reject her, so he clinked glasses with Hannah lightly and took a sip.
When he put down his glass, he saw that Catherine, who had turned around at some point, was leaving. Her slice of
cake was left aside. It was untouched.
He wanted to go after her, but a bunch of Hannah’s friends stopped him. When he finally managed to squeeze
through those people, Catherine was already gone.
When Catherine returned to the banquet hall, she could not find Wesley even after looking around. She saw Freya
first.
“Are you looking for Wesley? He went to play poker with Senator Mead and a few other politicians.”
Freya said with mixed feelings, “Things don’t look so simple. Look, quite a few big shots in the business world are
here tonight, but only Wesley is playing on the same table as Senator Mead and the politicians.”
“Mm,” Catherine replied to Freya half-heartedly. “What are you thinking about? ” Freya gave her a sidelong glance.
She chuckled and said, “Are you jealous of Shaun and Hannah?”
“You’re crazy.”
Catherine scolded Freya. She admitted that she was indeed a bit angry when she saw Shaun being pestered by
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHannah just now. However, that had nothing to do with her being jealous at all. “ I just don’t want Hannah to be the
stepmother of my children.”
“Sarah can’t be their stepmother. Hannah is no good either. Then who do you want their stepmother to be?” Freya
said while laughing.
“I think Hannah is quite cunning. She’s not a kind person despite her young age. She even wanted to have a servant
push me into the pool to teach me a lesson. Luckily, I had my guard up,” Catherine said angrily.
Freya’s expression changed. “Such arrogance! You’re my friend, which means she’s disrespecting me. I’ll have a
chat with her mother…”
“Forget it.” Catherine stopped her. “In the end, I’m just your friend. The Mead family and the Snow family are
business partners. No one wants any conflicts to occur at this moment.”
“This kind of woman can’t be Suzie and Lucas’
stepmother.” Freya wholeheartedly agreed too. “So you must keep a close eye on Shaun. Don’t let him be snatched
away by Hannah.”
Strangely, Catherine felt exhausted.
