Marriage Without Love: Sir, Please Stop

Chapter 153

However, she didn't expect him to suddenly run away before she could hide, and he disappeared in a

few seconds.

Catalina felt ashamed.

She thought that he must have been scared away by seeing her ugly face.

Bennett let out his breath in a long sigh and looked at Catalina, "It would have been nice if I didn't run

away that day but went up to talk to you..."

In fact, he was there to give her the ring that day.

He wanted to make a last attempt and tried to give the ring to her.

But in the end, he backed off.

Catalina tilted her head and looked at Bennett with her watery eyes, "If I had been a little braver that

day and taken the initiative to go after you, would the result between us have been different?"

Would there not have been so many misunderstandings between them? And would they not have

wasted so many years?

But...

No one could know.

Catalina suddenly felt weak and got into Bennett's arms like a little fluffy kitten to hug him.

"In fact, that engagement was a misunderstanding..."

"Hmm?"

Catalina pressed her lips and said with some embarrassment, "At that time, when my father told me

that the Shaffer family had made a marriage proposal, I first thought of you without knowing why. So, I

mistakenly thought that you were the one who would get engaged to me. I was really stupid at that

time. I didn't think too much about it and I didn't dare to ask you about it, but I just agreed."

When Catalina said she was stupid, she even knocked on her head in remorse.

Bennett hurriedly took her hands down to put them in his own hands and grasped them tightly, "A couth

person uses his mouth instead of his fist. Speak calmly."

Catalina was amused by him and continued while leaning on his arms, "By the time I realized that I was

engaged to Warren, it was already too late. You know your mother well. She didn't accept our family's

refusal, and I also protested seriously with my father at the time, but no one cared about my thoughts at

all. After all, if I could marry into the Shaffer family, it would be a gift from heaven in anyone's eyes, and

it was a chance that others couldn't even pray for. Then I thought that it was really whimsical for me to

be with you. I was probably disheartened, so I just let it be..."

"You actually let it be!"

Bennett was a little annoyed.

Certainly, he was in fact jealous.

He leaned over, lowered his head, held her head in his hand, and turned all the jealousy in his heart

into a deep kiss.

Catalina stretched out her hand to twine around his neck in response to his kiss with passion.

If the young boy and girl that year had taken one more step forward bravely, would their end have been

different?

But no one could be sure that it would be a good thing for them to meet each other earlier when they

were young.

If they didn't know how to love and met each other earlier, they would just hurt each other and drift

apart later.

Only meeting the right person at the right time...

Only in this way would everything be just right!

At last, the ring was not thrown away.

Catalina could not give it up.

Even if this ring had been worn by Claire, it seemed to her that those were no longer important.

For her, the most important thing was the naive and arrogant young man of that year.

An arrogant nobleman like him actually made a ring for an ordinary girl like her, and he also engraved

the names of the two of them on the ring foolishly.

These were the most precious to Catalina, and they had nothing to do with anything else.

Catalina took the necklace off Bennett's neck, crossed it through the ring, and then wore it around her

neck very naturally.

Finally...

The thing was returned to its original owner.

She patted her chest and felt sorrowful.

Bennett kissed the back of her hand and said, "As long as we confirm our feelings for each other, I will

do the rest for you. There will be nothing that can be an obstacle between us."

He could clearly see every tiny pore and every tiny fuzz on her skin.

At that time, just the same as right now, every part of her, whether it was her pores, the fuzz on her

face, or her skin, was glowing in his eyes...

It was as if she was the most dazzling one in the world.

At that time, Bennett didn't understand why it was so yet.

But now, he understood.

Because he liked her. Because he loved her so much that no matter what she looked like, no matter

what was in her, she was glowing, beautiful, and attractive in his eyes and in his mind.

So...

"Let's get married!"

Catalina was shocked.

Catalina was so shocked that she widened her eyes.

She looked at the man in front of her incredulously as if she was startled.

The expression on her face also froze instantly.

Looking at her gently with a smile, Bennett twined his hands around her waist and asked her again,

"Let's get married, shall we? Let's get a marriage license. I want to tell everyone that you are my wife."

When Catalina heard it again, her heart was beating fast as if it was going to pop out of her atria in the

next second.

She even breathed fast.

She asked with all her nervousness and panic were showed in her eyes, "Are... Are you serious?"

Bennett shook his head seriously, "I don't joke about things that matter for a lifetime."

"I..." Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

She felt a mix of feelings.

But what she sensed more than anything else was surprise, joy, unexpectedness, helplessness, and

disbelief...

Did he really want to do so?

Before, she always thought that he was joking.

"Is it that you think this marriage proposal is too perfunctory? I came in a hurry, and it was an

impromptu decision, so I didn't prepare something like a ceremony. But it's okay. I'll make up for it when

I come back."

"You know that I don't care about such things as ceremonies."

Catalina leaned on his arms and was thinking about another thing.

She was wondering whether Carolyn would agree if she and Bennett got married.

Unexpectedly, Bennett had thought about it before she did.

"Don't worry. Since I have made a promise to you, I will inevitably fulfill it. I know what you're worried

about. Don't be afraid. I'm here."

Hearing that, Catalina felt a warmth in her heart.

Both of them slept well all night.

Catalina went to work as usual the next day.

But Bennett went specially to her and asked for leave, saying mysteriously that he was going to do

something.

She didn't ask him any questions and just let him go.

It was not until three days later in the afternoon that she received a call from Bennett for a dinner date.

It was an invitation for her to come home for dinner.

On the phone, Catalina seemed to be flattered, "Bennett, you are finally willing to show up. If you still

don't show up, I'll think you've broken up with me."

"Nonsense!"

When Bennett heard the words 'break up', his eyebrows twitched and he looked a bit displeased, "Don't

mention these two words too often in case you will frequently say in this way in the future as you have

gotten used to mentioning them."

Catalina was amused.

Although he didn't specify which two words he was talking about, she certainly understood what he

meant.

"Okay."

Catalina responded obediently.

"Get home early."

"Well... Okay!"

Catalina hung up.

She was suddenly in a good mood. She couldn't help humming while writing her manuscript.

Compared to Catalina's good mood, Emery, who was in the next cubicle, looked dispirited.
