Marriage Without Love: Sir, Please Stop

Chapter 152



Chapter 152

That look on her face waiting to be complimented made her look like a pet begging for attention.

She looked like a puppy.

Bennett laughed and couldn't help teasing her, "Are you as pretty as Claire? Is your temper as good as

Hana's? As for your virtues, you can't even find them yourself and you still expect other people to find

them?"

Hearing Bennett's words, Catalina instantly felt defeated.

She looked frustrated with her shoulders dropped, "Then you'll definitely love me for only a short period

of time, and you'll regret it sooner or later."

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about?"

"I have nothing to compare with the women around you. As time goes by, you'll naturally realize it."

"Who are the other women around me?"

Bennett was not willing to be blamed for this unfounded accusation.

"But this is not the point!" Catalina was in such a hurry that she raised her voice.

Bennett laughed out loud, "I didn't say anything, and you're getting antsy. Is this the good temper that

you said?"

"Bennett..."

"Alright! You're not as good-looking as those women, and it seems that your temper and personality

aren't that good either. But so what? Even if that's the case, it doesn't stop me from fancying you! If you

want to say that I will love you for only a short period of time, I would say that it's been eight years

since I fell in love with you when I was in my teens. Although it hasn't been enough for ten years, it's

been eight years, hasn't it? How many decades or eight years are there in life? Since I've already told

you, I won't just like you for a short period of time. So, do you understand?"

"Really?"

There was finally a sparkle in Catalina's eyes.

"Mrs. Shaffer, can't you be a little more confident in yourself as you've at least been called Mrs. Shaffer

for half a year now? Yes, I'm excellent, but you aren't that inferior either!"

Catalina was amused by Bennett's words and laughed out loud, "Can you not be so narcissistic when

you're comforting people?"

"If I wasn't that narcissistic, would you laugh out loud?"

It seemed so!

Catalina buried her head into his arms and held his lean waist tightly, "Then, from now on, I'll cling to

you, and you'll never be able to get rid of me."

Somehow, Catalina suddenly felt bitter when she said this, and her eyes turned red again.

Bennett held her tightly in his arms with one arm and said, "Then you'd better cling to me tightly, and

you can't let go for a moment!"

They were all naive at this moment and believed that they would be together for a lifetime with this vow.

However, the reality was cruel.

What they had thought was a lifetime was actually just a short period of time in the end.

Leaning on Bennett's chest, Catalina fiddled with the ring amusedly and said, "Bennett, when exactly

did you fall in love with me?"

"I forgot it."

"Humph."

Catalina pouted and added, "I haven't forgotten it."

"Then tell me. When did you fall in love with me?"

"That day... It was exactly May. Acacia flowers bloomed all over the branches, and there was a

teenager with a branch in his mouth. Acacia flowers fell all over his shoulders, and his bangs were

messed up as the wind blew..." This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Thinking of this, Catalina laughed out loud, "This was the day!"

"This was the day!"

Bennett snorted and said nonchalantly, "It was the day that a black and ugly girl with two daggy braids,

carrying a tattered school bag and wearing a light blue school uniform, stood under that acacia tree and

drooled over me like a lecher, wasn't it?"

Catalina was exasperated by his words, "I was not black and daggy, okay? And when did I drool over

you?"

"Did you just admit to yourself that you had a crush on me at first sight? It's weird. I was popular among

all students in the school, but why did I fall in love with such an ugly girl like you at that time? This is not

logical. Is it possible that I have a fetish for ugliness?"

"You're shameless!"

"Yeah, I'm shameless. I'm the most shameless, okay? What are you going to do with this ring? How

about throwing it away?"

"Throw it away?"

Catalina grasped the ring tightly in her hand and asked, "Why do you want to throw it away?"

Bennett lifted his eyebrows and said, "You don't want to throw it away?"

"I..."

Catalina frowned and deliberated seriously for a while.

The ring was still engraved with her and Bennett's names, and it was the first gift that the youthful

teenager had made for her back then. Honestly, she was reluctant to throw it away.

But...

This ring was after all worn by someone else, and she...

"Well, throw it away. Throw it away!"

It seemed like Bennett had seen through Catalina and he said, "What do you think? This ring has been

worn by other people. It is not the same as before. If you like it, I'll make you a new one, and it will be a

hundred times better than this one!"

With that, Bennett was about to snatch the ring from Catalina's hands.

"No!"

Catalina hurriedly snatched the ring back from him and said, "Isn't it for me? It should certainly be me

to make the decision. Besides, can the one you make now be the same as the one you made before?"

"Why are they different? If you like this kind of style, I promise to make you another one that is exactly

the same as the previous one."

"No! The intentions to make the ring are different. Anyway, this is the one you made for me back then,

and I won't throw it away."

Catalina made up her mind and shook her head.

"Are you sure? I'm afraid you may feel bad while wearing it..."

After all, this ring was once worn by Claire.

Honestly, Bennett was quite worried that Catalina would dredge it up with him in the future.

"Well, now tell me why the ring that was given to me became the ring for the engagement of you and

Claire in the end?"

Getting out of his arms, Catalina sat in front of him on her knees again and interrogated him.

"That was all your fault!"

Bennett pouted, "Think about who was the one following behind me but soon accepting other people's

marriage proposal without any explanation in the next moment. What could I do? I gave the ring to

someone else in a fit of anger."

At that time, Bennett was young and aggressive.

When he learned that Catalina and Warren were engaged, what he first felt was that he had been

betrayed.

Bennett put his hands on the back of his head, thought back to the days, and said, "At that time, I

always treated you like one of my own without knowing why. However, one day, you didn't even say

anything to me and got engaged with other people. I was so angry that I soaked in cold water for the

whole night, and nobody could stop me. The next day when the sun came out, I ran out of the door and

went straight to your front door. I remember that I came up with countless excuses to meet you, such

as borrowing a book, borrowing a pen, and asking you to do my homework. In fact, I just didn't want to

give up and tried to give you the ring. However, before I could figure out what to say, you walked out of

the door. I still remember that you were wearing the pajamas that your stepmother had abandoned that

morning. It was very big and creased, and the color was old-fashioned. With it on your body, you

looked skinny. As you had just gotten up, your hair was messy, and your eyes were a little swollen. You

were holding a basin in your hand and were about to wash your hair. At that time, I thought you should

have seen me..."

"I saw it."

Catalina froze in place at that time, and she was in a state of embarrassment for a long time.

Because she did not expect that he had seen her in such a grubby state.

She was so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole in the ground to hide herself in.
