Chapter 42 Do You Like Me
Bennett stared at her steadfastly, "Put it down. I am not that patient."
Catalina shook her head and moved her head back a little. Her eyes turned red with the grievance,
"Why do you insist on kissing me? Do you like me?"
Bennett pursed his lips tightly and he didn't speak a word. His gaze fixed on her firmly.
Catalina looked serious and said, "Don't you know that kissing is something to do between lovers?
Bennett, I don't like kissing a man that I don't like. Please respect me!"
As soon as Catalina finished talking, Bennett's amber-colored eyes under the glasses looked frosty.
He moved away Catalina's arm which was in front of his lips rudely. Then, he grabbed her chin with the
other hand, bent down, and kissed her lips forcefully.
He didn't give her any room to escape.
"Ugh...Ugh...Ugh..."
That wasn't a kiss.
He was biting and gnawing her lips. It seemed to be a punishment!
That was painful!
Catalina's eyes filled with tears due to pain and she started to struggle in his arms.
But the more she struggled, the more ferocious he became.
His chest heaved violently with rage.
Bennett slowly backed away from Catalina's lips until he heard her sobbing in his arms.
There were some blood drops on their lips.
There were tears in her eyes. She was so aggrieved.
Was it really that uncomfortable to be kissed by him?
Was it that uncomfortable till she had to cry?
Bennett wiped away the blood on his lips and sneered, "It turns out that two people who aren't in love
can kiss too. Do you know why? It's physiology! So, next time, don't ask me such a stupid question as
whether I like you or not. The only answer for it will be it is impossible for this life!"
After Bennett finished speaking, he pushed Catalina in his arms away without any mercy. He got up
and left indifferently.
Leaving Catalina sitting on the ground, full of grievances.
And, the bowl of ravioli on the table.
Tears poured out of her eyes involuntarily, she quickly wiped them away, sniffed, and stood up.
"Bastard!" she cursed.
Looking at the steaming bowl of ravioli, the grievance became even stronger, "He was the one who
asked for it. But he doesn't eat it at all..."
She was sobbing while sitting down at the table.
She took the spoon from the bowl and didn't care whether Bennett had used it just now. Then, she took
one bite at a time and started to cry while she was eating.
The soup soaked into the wound and she was shivering in pain.
Asshole!
He gained pleasure in bullying her!
But he didn't know that kind of bullying would only make her sink deeper and deeper into the wrong
perception...
Catalina, no!
That man was something you would never be able to play up to.
Furthermore, he just said that he would never fall in love with you in this life. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
That was only your wishful thinking!
Catalina stuffed two big ravioli into her mouth in one gulp.
She thought that eating could make her feel happy.
But why were there more and more tears gathering in her eyes?
...
Since then, Catalina and Bennett had become strangers.
Even though they lived under the same roof, they were like two parallel lines with no intersecting point.
That was good.
Catalina felt that keeping a distance like that was more conducive to her protecting herself.
Just endured it!
She wanted to stay quiet until the day he came to ask her to sign the divorce agreement.
Catalina went to work every day as usual.
One day.
When Catalina arrived at the office, she saw Emery lying in her cubicle, looking down and listless.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Catalina put down her backpack, unwrapped the candy, and put it into her mouth. She asked Emery
who was next to her.
Emery raised her head, with a sad expression on her face, and said "Lina, my husband cheated..."
"Huh?"
Catalina was taken aback and unable to react.
Her husband? Wasn't that...
"Him!"
Emery pointed to the cover of the magazine in her hand.
As expected, there was Bennett's handsome and perfect face on the cover.
That was Catalina's husband.
But just now Emery said...
He cheated?
Catalina blinked and forced herself to calm down, "What's going on?"
She pretended to be calm and asked.
"Bennett has a girlfriend."
Catalina didn't know what to say.
She already knew that.
But, her heart still trembled for no reason.
She pretended to be nonchalant and opened the file in front of her, "Then what?"
"He admitted it in the interview."
"Oh."
"This is a big deal!"
Catalina was confused.
"Think about it. Who is Bennett? He is such a cold turkey. He never mentioned it when the reporters
asked about his other half before. But this time he actually said it. Do you know what that means?"
"What?"
Catalina said calmly and looked at Emery, who was emotional.
"It means that he is planning to get married!"
Catalina's eyelashes trembled slightly and she didn't reply.
"He must have the intention of making her the one, and he must have received the approval and
blessing of his family. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made it publicly."
Was that right?
Was he really going to open up about his relationship with that girl?
Had the girl already been approved by his parents?
They must have agreed!
A girl who could make Bennett miss her so badly must be someone outstanding! Besides, Darnell had
been telling so many good things about that girl.
If they really made their relationship public in front of the media, what about Cataline?
How would she react?
Cataline smiled wryly.
Thinking that her husband didn't love her. Her in-laws were unhappy with her. What was the difference
it made of her carrying the title of Mrs. Shaffer?
It was just awkward and embarrassing.
"Lina, let's have a drink after work! I need you to keep me company, okay?"
"Okay."
Cataline said yes without hesitation.
Emery was surprised. She opened her mouth widely and asked, "You said yes?"
That was the first time Catalina said yes to going for a drink!
"Yes."
"That's great! I love you!"
Emery was getting closer to Catalina's face and was about to kiss her.
Catalina hastily covered her lips with her hand and said, "Let me tell you something first. I can't behave
after I am drunk."
"Don't worry. Me too."
"Let's get to work."
"Okay!"
Emery let go of Catalina after that.
When Emery thought of someone who would drink with her at night, she suddenly became energetic.
The feeling of being betrayed just now had long dissipated.
...
Emery was a heavy drinker and she had a high tolerance for alcohol.
After a few glasses of alcohol, she still looked normal.
On the other hand, Catalina had already revealed her true colors only after two glasses.
"Bennett is a big-time bastard!"
She lay on the bar counter and cursed vaguely.
"Yes! He is a bastard!"
Emery raised her hands and echoed her words.
While she was speaking, she chugged down another glass of cocktail.
Catalina also took a big sip, burped, and continued to curse, "Even though he already had a wife, he is
still messing around outside!"
"There he is! Messing around!"
When Emery was cursing, she suddenly smiled and hugged Catalina's shoulders. With a moved
expression on her face, she said, "Lina, you are so kind. You are not only taking Bennett as my
husband but also daydreaming with me."
"Bennett is not your husband!"
Catalina denied Emery's words, pointed to her nose, and said drunkenly, "He is my husband! He is my
legitimate husband!"
