Shaun pretended not to hear her as he continued to walk over and hug her.
However, Catherine kept pushing, and both of them continued to shove each other in the dark.
In the end, the man was still stronger. As soon as Shaun pulled her into his embrace, he lowered his head and kissed her deeply.
"Mm... Shaun, I'm not... joking." Catherine kept avoiding him. Finally, with much difficulty, she blocked his face with her hand.
"Cathy, if I don't stay behind to finish off Rebecca and the person behind her, do you think Rebecca won’t chase after you once you’ve escaped overseas with the children?"
Shaun said with a hoarse voice, "I've discussed this with Nathan a few days ago. The force behind
Rebecca isn't too influential in Australia. However, we're stepping into their territory if we go overseas. Even with my dad protecting you guys, squashing all o f you will be as easy as squashing an ant for them.
That's why I must eliminate them in Australia. Do you understand?"
Catherine was taken aback.
She understood.
Was that why Shaun wanted to use himself in exchange for her and the children's safety?
"Then I’ll stay behind. You leave." Catherine choked softly, "I won't help you to take care of your grandparents and parents. I've been taking care of the children alone for the past few years. You haven't even fulfilled your responsibilities as a father..."
"Cathy, listen to me. Compared to me, the children need you more." Shaun cupped her small face.
Catherine could not see him clearly at all as her eyes were filled with tears. "Your aunt is right. I shouldn't have come to the Hill family. You shouldn't have met me too..."
"Don’t say that, Cathy. Regarding Rebecca, I’ve never once regretted doing those things I did. From the start, she was the one hurting you. She hurt your granny and Charity. People like that deserve it for the sins they have done." Shaun interrupted her firmly.
Catherine was about to break down. "Why is this world so unfair? She’s so evil, yet someone is still helping her like a lunatic. What exactly did we do wrong?" 4
