    Chapter 178


    The following day.


    After breakfast, Shaun was getting himself ready for work.


    All of a sudden, Catherin grabbed him by the arm. “I don’t feel like driving today. Can you give me a


    ride?”


    He frowned. The ce he was heading today was in the exact opposite direction of her workce.


    Besides, he had a meeting waiting at work this morning.


    This woman was so troublesome. It took her no time to take advantage of him.


    “But you have a car.”


    “I want to spend more time with you in the car.” She winked at him flirtatiously.


    “…”


    He threw her a nce as if to say she was annoying. “Let’s go.”


    Joy filled her heart.


    In actuality, she simply wanted to feel how it was like to not get thrown out of the car at the subway


    station. After all, she had spent a tremendous amount of effort to take down this man.


    Shaun’s hand was injured, hence Hadley had been driving him aroundtely.


    The morning traffic was terrible.


    It did not bother Hadley too much, though. He appeared calm inparison to Shaun who was


    wearing a sullen expression.


    He massaged the middle of his brows, feeling slightly regretful about going out of the way to give her a


    ride. He would have hired a taxi for her if he had known.


    “Don’t get impatient.” Catherine ced her left palm on the back of his hand. “The bad traffic means we


    can spend more time together.”


    She blinked yfully at him. He could see his own reflection in her eyes.


    All of a sudden, the frustration in his heart vanished.


    The frown on his charming face finally rxed. He snorted and looked away, but the corners of his lips


    curled upward faintly. “I really don’t know what to do with you.”


    The arrogance was evident in his tone.


    Hadley’s fingers quivered against the steering wheel. He had no idea that the serious and indifferent


    Young Master Hill would behave like a real person when in a rtionship.


    It also seemed that the rtionship between these two had improved tremendously.


    He felt like an unwanted third party in this scenario.


    8:40 a.m. The car pulled into thepany.


    Catherine was about to open the door when Shaun suddenly questioned, “Didn’t you say you went


    shoppingst night? Why aren’t you wearing the new clothes you bought?”


    “…”


    Well, the new clothes were in the mall, of course.


    She made up an excuse on the spot. “Nothing really caught my eyes. The ones that I like were too


    pricey. Freya spent a lot, on the other hand.”


    “Hmm, are you dropping hints that I should buy you more clothes?” He raised his eyebrows, teasing


    her.


    The woman screamed internally, ‘Brother, you’re overthinking again!’


    “I wasn’t…”


    “Alright, I’ll bring you shopping after work,” he interrupted.


    She had no idea what to say.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    The car sped into the distance after she alighted. The helpless woman headed toward thepany.


    Just when she was approaching the entrance, Ethan appeared in front of her, looking tired and weary.


    The pressure from the Lowe family and hisplicated personal romance had taken a huge toll on


    him. Coupled with the stubble that had grown around his lips, he also looked dispirited and depressed.


    The sight of him took Catherine by surprise. She almost did not recognize the man. “Why are you here


    again?”


    She did not expect to see Ethan again after Shaun had exposed her mercilessly the other day. She


    assumed he would look down on her after that.


    With his head lowered, Ethan pressed a card into her hand. “There’s 500 million dors in here. Give it


    to Shaun Hill. Think of it as the legal fees you owe him and stop getting in touch with him after this.”


    She was genuinely startled.
