Joel lost his temper in the villa. "As I said earlier, Catherine shouldn't have gotten back together with Shaun. I'd rather she stayed single forever than be hurt by him time and time again.”
The housekeeper sighed. "Miss Jones is just a little unlucky when it comes to relationships.”
With a lump in her throat, Catherine knocked on the door.
When Joel caught sight of Catherine, his face stiffened for a moment before he walked up to her with a smile. "Cathy, you're back. Why didn't you let m e know? Wow. You even carried your suitcase back. That’s great. I feel bored staying here alone anyway."
He did not mention the matter between Shaun and Hannah at all, and it filled Catherine with warmth.
She knew Joel was worried that she would be embarrassed and upset.
"Dad, I heard everything you just said. In fact, I've made it clear to Shaun a few days ago, telling him that he can try to be with another woman. He has forgotten me and might not be able to remember the past, so I shouldn't force him to stay by my side for the sake of the kids.”
Pretending to appear nonchalant, she said, "What's more... I don’t like the current Shaun."
"Cathy, you..." Joel sighed. "You're still speaking up for him even at this point in time. I know you too well. Forget it, and drop the subject. It's great that you're back. If you continue staying in the Hills' house, other people will gossip about you. After all, there are still other men in the world."
"Thanks for being understanding, Dad.” Catherine grinned and hooked her arm through his.
