Semua Bab Let Me Go, Mr. Hill!: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Slap!A resounding slap landed on Catherine Jones’ face.“You’ve really let me down. Your sister has had a rough time out there for more than 20 years, and here you are planning to snatch the man from her. That’s very shameless of you!” Covering the part of her face that was aching, Catherine looked at her mother incredulously. “Mom, Ethan is my boyfriend. How can you guys be so unreasonable?”Catherine had just come home after a business trip, only to see her long-lost elder sister, Rebecca Jones, sitting with her boyfriend, Ethan Lowe, on the couch. Her sister was holding Ethan’s arm and seemed intimate with him.Seated on the other side of the couch were both Rebecca and Ethan’s parents who were having a pleasant chat with each other.In fact, Ethan was Catherine’s childhood sweetheart!She could not help but come up to Rebecca to question her. However, she ended up being slapped by her mother in the face right there and then!“Mom, please stop hitting Cathy.” With an anxio

The plot twist happened so quickly that Catherine suspected she had drunk too much.Such a thought remained until Freya came to tap her on the shoulder. She said sympathetically, “Don’t get too upset. It’s not easy to capture the heart of a tall, wealthy, and handsome man. Keep it up—”“No. He told me to meet him at the entrance of the registry office tomorrow at 10 a.m.,” Catherine replied with a dazed look.“...”Freya remained uncannily quiet for a moment before she burst out laughing. “Congratulations on becoming Ethan’s aunt!”Catherine asked, “You believe it?”Freya forcefully pinched Catherine’s soft face.“Why not? Please. With your naturally pure look, you can easily beat those young ladies in the entertainment industry. If I were a man, I’d fall in love with you at first sight. Let’s go and have a drink to celebrate your marriage.” Catherine seriously wondered how much Freya had drunk while she was away.However, Catherine began to have a hangover after drinking alc

Shaun froze and remained silent.The cameraman was inwardly sympathetic toward him. It was a pity that a good-looking man like him was suffering from facial paralysis. After Shaun and Catherine were done taking pictures, they headed to the first floor to register their marriage.It was only when Shaun took out his citizenship certificate that Catherine finally learned his real name—Shaun Hill. However, Ethan’s mother’s surname was Lyons. In that case, his uncle’s surname was supposed to be Lyons as well.In a daze, Catherine asked, “Why is your surname Hill?”“Uh-huh.”As Shaun was lowering his head to sign the documents, he did not bother to know what she meant. He casually answered, “I adopted my mom’s surname.”“Oh.” Catherine finally understood. She had been filled with fear earlier, thinking that it was a case of mistaken identity.She flirted with him for the very reason that he was Ethan’s uncle. However, she felt that something was somehow not right.Ten minutes l

Shaun did not know what to reply. He massaged the space between his eyebrows and accepted the message request.[Hubby, will you be home for dinner?] Catherine sent another text within seconds.Shaun: [No. Don’t call me that.]Shaunerine: [Fine then, I’ll call you Shaunny. It’s a cute name.]He did not know what else to say.Was it too late to back out of the marriage arrangement?Later that night.The group of people was enjoying dinner in the interestingly designed courtyard-style restaurant. The bunch of lawyers exchanged their opinions on the new cases recently taken in by the law firm. Shaun listened absent-mindedly when he heard a notification alert on his phone again. Catherine sent him a picture. Under the illumination of the soft yellow lights, the chubby cat was indulging itself in a small treat of dried fish. Shaunerine: [Shaunny, don’t worry about us. I’m taking such good care of little Fudge.]Shaun sighed grudgingly. The greedy cat had been bribed effortles

Catherine felt as if someone had punched her in the chest. The intense pain was suffocating, especially when Ethan’s indifferent gaze swept past her without lingering for a second longer.James hurried toward Rebecca. “HQ has given the order to hand this project over to Rebecca.”A shudder passed through Catherine before she turned to face the other woman. “Cathy, don’t get upset.” Rebecca staggered backward as if she was utterly shocked. Fortunately, Ethan had his hand on the small of her back.This scene only aggravated the situation.“Rebecca, what more do you want? You’ve already stolen my man and now you’re trying to snatch away the project that I spent so much time and effort on. Are you really that envious of everything I have?”“How ridiculous! Since when was Young Master Lowe your man?” James scoffed. “You’re quite something, aren’t you? You’ve been pestering Young Master Lowe in the past, but he hasn’t shown any interest in you at all. Besides, do you think you could’v
