Aunty Yasmine had prepared many dishes by noon, yet Shaun did not return.
"Is Young Master... not planning to come back for lunch?" Aunty Yasmine stole a glance at Catherine.
Catherine turned her eyes to Lea. "Aunty Lea, since something so serious happened in the company today, would Shaun take it too hard..."
"Let me call him." Worried, Lea took out her phone to call Shaun.
Shortly after, Shaun's deep voice sounded. "Mom, what's the matter?"
“Shaun, I've heard what happened in the company. Where have you been after you left the office this morning? Aren’t you coming home for lunch?" Lea said softly, "Don’t stress yourself out. Your grandpa, granny, I have gotten over it. We can sit pretty even without Hill Corporation.”
"Mom, you're overthinking it. Since I've lost my memory, I don't feel very strongly about Hill Corporation. I've failed despite having done my best, but there’s nothing else I can do. Don’t think too much. I'm just having lunch outside with a friend."
Shaun's relaxed voice made Lea heave a sigh of relief.
As she was about to speak, a woman's tender voice suddenly sounded from the other end of the phone." Young Master Hill, try this dish. It's delicious."
Lea's expression froze.
"Mom, I'm still having lunch. I’m going to hang up now."
After the call ended, Lea looked at Catherine opposite her and instantly felt awkward.
She never thought that Shaun would have lunch with another woman at noon.
Did he not know that Catherine would be concerned about him?
Even so... What if he knew it? Having forgotten most of his past, Shaun was just like a growing kid.
