Chapter 2745
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.

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?”
Catherine was stunned for a few seconds. She figured everything out in an instant. She muttered, “It looks like
Chester already knows.”
“Know what?” Shaun was confused.
“Eliza is my friend. This is her secret. I can’t tell you about it.” Catherine sighed while frowning. “However, Chester
should be clear about it. It’s true that he and Eliza can never be together.
Their situation is different from ours.”
“What other unforgivable things did Chester do?” Shaun’s brows were knitted together in a tight frown.
Catherine circled his neck lightly. “He might not have done some things consciously, but he’s a murderer who
indirectly harmed his victim’s important family members. What courage do you think is needed to get back
together with him? Even if you risk every thing for love, your conscience won’t be able to accept it.”
“No wonder Chester said he can only gain forgiveness if he dies,” Shaun murmured.

they don’t know each other. That’s the best outcome. It’s beneficial to everyone.” 1
Shaun frowned. “I’ve never seen Chester in that state. He usually seems cold-blooded, and that’s precisely why I
can’t imagine him staying away once he falls in love with someone. That’s unless Eliza doesn’t get married or get a
boyfriend her entire life. If Chester happens to see it, he’ll either go crazy or become a demon with his personality if
he suppresses himself for a long time.”
A hint of worry flashed across Catherine’s eyes. “Eliza is still so young. How can she possibly not get married or
have children her whole life?”
“If she wants to have children and get married in the future, it’s best to advise her to go overseas and leave
Canberra secretly.”
Shaun sighed. “Don’t let Chester find out or see it.”
Catherine was a little angry and annoyed.
Why did Eliza have to hide and keep a secret about getting married or meeting up with friends? 1
However, Catherine knew Chester’s character.
How could a person like him understand that the highest form of love was to let go and give his blessing?
