Marriage Without Love: Sir, Please Stop

Chapter 53 Bennett's Sudden Visit

Chapter 53 Bennett's Sudden Visit

"Why are you hesitating about this?"

Keira, as a person who had the experience, earnestly persuaded Catalina, "Look at me and your uncle.

We are so poor, but we have also raised your younger brother so well, right? Not to mention the fact

that you both have such solid financial footing. You can even have someone look after your baby in the

future. Therefore, you don't have to worry about it at all."

"Yes, your aunt is right," Maggie echoed and then reminded Catalina, "Discuss this matter with Bennett,

okay?"

Catalina didn't speak.

She lowered her head and dared not say anything, but mechanically thrust food into her mouth.

Meanwhile, she thought, "Discussing having a baby with Bennett?

What a joke!

Bennett would probably scold me for wishful thinking!

The two of us can't even count as real husband and wife, so how can we have a baby?"

"Lina, I don't agree with your grandmother and aunt."

Harold Duffy, Catalina's uncle, had been silent. As the sole support of the family, he finally spoke.

"What do you think?" Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Catalina, feeling that she had an ally, immediately looked up.

Maggie and Keira also looked over at Harold.

Harold glanced at them, and finally, his gaze rested on Catalina's face. Suddenly, he asked, "Did

Bennett mention when the wedding would be held? Besides, should not his parents meet us?

Moreover, what happened between you and Warren a few years ago..."

As soon as Harold mentioned this, Keira quickly reached out and patted his arm, signaling him to stop

talking further.

In fact, everyone remembered the absurd marriage between Catalina and Warren four years ago, but

no one dared to mention it in front of Catalina.

Maggie's face suddenly darkened a lot.

Meanwhile, Catalina's face turned slightly pale.

"I know you guys probably don't want to hear anyone mention this again, but it's something that has

already happened and become a fact, even if you don't mention it. I know Lina well. She must have

been set up four years ago. I'm just worried that Lina will be bullied after marrying Bennett. After all, the

Shaffer family did not even give her a wedding. Who knows what Bennett is planning to do?"

Catalina lowered her head again and silently continued eating.

She couldn't answer a word of Harold's concerns.

It was not just the wedding. In fact, she had never even seen their marriage license.

Keira glared at her husband angrily, complaining that he had completely ruined the good atmosphere.

However, Harold had no intention of changing the topic.

He continued, "Lina, we all believe that you didn't voluntarily do that four years ago, but I just don't

understand. Since you were forced to do that, then why are you still protecting the bastard who took

your virginity four years ago?"

At this, Catalina lowered her head even more.

Instantly, tears filled her eyes.

Maggie looked at Catalina with distress, but in the end, she hardened her heart and echoed, "Harold's

right! Lina, why have you been protecting that person for so many years? You know that as long as you

turn this person in, the Shaffer family won't embarrass you anymore. Why do you have to endure it

alone?"

"I'm sorry..."

With her head down, Catalina burst into tears, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry..."

She did not know what to say except these three words.

Bitter tears trickled down her face and fell on her plate.

Over the years, the Duffy family had been mocked by others because of the absurd farce four years

ago, but even so, they had never complained about Catalina.

They had always given her the greatest trust.

However, she could not tell them what had really happened four years ago.

Maggie's eyes were red, and she sighed with distress, "What a silly girl! Do you know how much you

will have to suffer in the future if you continue like this?"

Hearing this, Catalina thought, "I know!

I will suffer a lot for the rest of my life.

However, for the sake of the person I want to protect, I'm willing to suffer all this."

Compared to herself, Catalina was more afraid that anyone besides her knew that the person who had

taken her virginity that night was Warren's younger brother, Bennett.

She was also more afraid of Bennett knowing this truth.

She couldn't imagine how Bennett would react if he knew that he had personally pushed his beloved

brother into the current abyss.

Catalina never wanted to see that happen.

Therefore, she chose to keep the secret to herself forever, until she died.

...

In the middle of the night, as Catalina slept soundly, her mobile phone beside her pillow rang suddenly.

"My master, you have a phone call coming in. Please answer it..."

Catalina was suddenly roused from her dream.

"My master, you have a phone call coming in. Please answer it..."

For the first time, Catalina felt the sound of the call reminder so annoying.

She opened her drowsy eyes and reached for her mobile phone.

She wondered who was calling her this late at night.

She grabbed her mobile phone and drowsily glanced at the caller ID. When she saw the name on the

phone screen, she abruptly gave a start and was completely awake.

It was Bennett's call.

Catalina immediately sat up.

After a few seconds of hesitation, she nervously answered the call.

Meanwhile, she thought, "Is he calling to ask me to go back and serve him?

That is definitely something Bennett would do."

As Catalina had pressed the answering key and was about to speak, Bennett ordered in a deep voice

on the other end of the phone, "Open the door."

"What?"

Catalina was slightly taken aback.

As she was about to ask something, she heard the beep of the phone hanging up.

Catalina couldn't believe that Bennett had actually hung up.

She was stunned.

She couldn't help but think, "Open the door?

What does he mean by that?

I'm not at home! He knows this, doesn't he?"

Catalina looked down at her mobile phone again and thought, "Was it a dream?

It must be."

With this thought, Catalina fell backward and lay back on the bed.

However, she was no longer sleepy.

She said to herself in her heart, "Open the door...

Can it be that Bennett has already arrived outside Grandma's house?

That's impossible!

He didn't even agree to have dinner with Grandma, so how would he come here this late at night?"

Catalina thought so, but she still lifted the quilt and got out of bed, bearing the cold outside the quilt.

She said to herself, "Since I'm already awake, why not go outside for some water and then take a look

at the door by the way? Anyway, it just takes a few more steps."

Catalina walked quickly out of the room.

She did not go for water after that. Instead, she walked straight to the door.

After opening the door, she leaned over and peered out.

Then she was stunned.

Outside the door, the night was deep.

There was a man in a long black trench coat, and his tall figure almost merged into the darkness of the

night.

He put one hand in his pocket and held a long lighted cigarette in the other.

As the smoke diffused, he looked very charming in the haze.

The light from the cigarette butt flickered slightly. His handsome face flickered along with the twinkling

spark, making it look mysterious.

It was just a simple act of smoking, but with his interpretation, it became noble and enchanting, as if

even his fingers were shining.

Even the light in the house was momentarily dimmed by him.
