Shaun drove back to the Hill family's manor after sending Chester back to the villa.
They both lived on the same mountain, so the drive took only six to seven minutes.
It was a Saturday.
Catherine accompanied and played with the children at home. When she saw Shaun returning, she glanced at him lazily. "You went out at 3:00 a m. in the morning. Was it because a beauty had asked you out?"
Shaun did not say a word. He simply walked over and hugged her tightly. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her red lips.
"Wow, Mom and Dad are doing embarrassing things." Suzie, who was playing with wooden blocks at the side, covered her eyes.
"What are you doing?” Catherine pushed Shaun away while blushing. She scolded in a low voice, "It's improper doing this in front of the children."
"I couldn't resist it." Shaun embraced her and rested his chin on her forehead."
Cathy, thank you for being able to forgive me back then. If not... I might get drunk in a bar every day and be in a living hell."
"What’s wrong with you?" Catherine looked at him puzzledly.
"Chester was sent to the hospital because he drank until his stomach bled last night." Shaun sighed. "His subordinate called me. Ever since Rodney's incident, the only person he can confide in is me. Although he treats women badly, he has always treated me, his friend—" "Alright." Catherine interrupted him. “I'm not interested in the bromance between you two. Why did Chester drink so much?"
Shaun's gaze was complicated. “Because of Eliza. He said he's fallen in love with Eliza, but they can never be together. The grudge between the two involves human life. I don’t understand how human life is separating them, though. Cathy, are you guys keeping something from me?”
