He refused to sleep in separate rooms. He could not stand it even if it was just for a day.
Catherine originally wanted to explain herself, but her heart was slightly moved at Old Madam Hill's words. She nodded in agreement. "I'm willing to move into the manor. Grandma is an experienced person and has given birth to several children, so I think Grandma is right."
"That’s right." Old Madam Hill gave her an approving look.
For the first time, she was slightly satisfied with Catherine.
Shaun's heavy eyes rested on her little face.
He knew what she was thinking. She wanted to avoid him and did not want to sleep with him.
"I disapprove."
"It's useless for you to disapprove," Old Master Hill ordered, "In any case, the first twins of the Hill family must be born healthily.”
Shaun,
Damn it! He should not have told these two about the pregnancy.
When the two elders left, he glared unhappily at Catherine. "You did that on purpose.”
"Yeah." Catherine looked up and said righteously, " Shaun Hill, your memory isn't good, but I won't forget how the fetuses were injured. Maybe it's safest for me t o live in the manor now. At least I won't have to tolerate your friend's warning, lest your illness deteriorates and it becomes my fault."
A ray of cold light flashed in Shaun's clear eyes. 1
He instantly understood that Chester and Rodney must have said something to her. Shaun had talked to them before, but they had been friends for more than a decade, so they only wanted the best for him.
"I’m sorry..."
"There's nothing to be sorry about. I just don't think that I'm worth it. If your heart was full of me, I'd shoulder all the responsibility. But you’re hiding so many people around you, and your relationship with Shelley Langley is ambiguous. Why do I have to take responsibility for the condition of your illness? I have t o endure it even if I'm unhappy."
Catherine vented and lay on the bed, not wanting to pay attention to him anymore.
