Chapter 44 I Like You
Aaron was taken aback.
He immediately stepped on the brakes. With a "crack", the tires rubbed on the ground, left some marks, and the car finally stopped.
His head almost hit the steering wheel. His right hand subconsciously protected Catalina, who was in the passenger seat as he was worried that she would have flown out. Fortunately, she had her seat belt on.
Catalina frowned slightly in discomfort, but she didn't wake up.
On the other hand, Emery, who was left alone in the rear seat wasn't that lucky.
That sudden break directly threw her out. With a "bang", she hit hardly onto the back of the seat in front which caused her to howl in pain.
Aaron was about to get out of the car and talked with the other car.
But he saw that someone from the opposite car had already stepped out of their car.
That was Vincent.
He got out of the car and respectfully opened the rear door.
Bennett strode out.
His aura was strong.
Aaron was shocked.
He couldn't believe what he had seen.
Wasn't that Bennett who came out of the car?
What was he trying to do?
Aaron was holding the steering wheel with his hand and he couldn't help but broke into a cold sweat.
The next second, he pushed the door open and got out of the car.
When he was about to step forward, Vincent came over unexpectedly to block his way.
Bennett turned a blind eye to him.
With a gloomy face, he strode towards Catalina, who was in the passenger seat.
He bent down, unbuckled her seat belt, and wanted to carry her away.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stretched out his hands, she suddenly woke up.
"Don't touch me!"
Catalina pushed the man in front of her drowsily and said, "I won't go with you. Let me go. I won't go with you..."
At that moment, Catalina, who was so drunk mistakenly thought that the man who wanted to take her away was Aaron.
Bennett suddenly froze from the movement of leaning over to carry Catalina.
He had a frightening frosty look as if it was about to freeze everything around him.
"Aaron..."
"Aaron Roach!!"
Catalina patted the man in front of her irritably.
Bennett's sturdy body was as stiff as a stone sculpture.
He was holding onto her arms and unconsciously tightened his strength as if he wished to crush her into his arms.
Outside the car, Aaron was happy when he heard Catalina calling his name. He got back into the car immediately and pressed on Catalina's shoulder, "Bennett, didn't your revenge last time enough to appease her? Let her go!"
Bennett looked at Aaron's hand which was on Catalina's shoulder furiously. Then, he looked up and said, "Let go!"
Those words sounded hellacious.
It was as if the most precious thing of Bennett had been contaminated by Aaron.
Aaron immediately withdrew his hand.
Bennett carried Catalina into his arms and strode away.
"Bennett!"
Aaron followed at their back with a resigned look and asked, "Where are you taking her to?"
Vincent immediately stepped forward and stopped him. He said, "Mr. Roach, please stay away from Mrs. Shaffer in the future. Today's incident is not going to happen again!"
After Vincent finished the warning, he turned and left.
Aaron looked lost and stood still for some time before he came to his senses.
Mrs. Shaffer?
That was what Vincent called Catalina just now, right?
How could that be? Could it be that Catalina and Bennett are married?
When did that happen?
"That is impossible!"
"It's impossible..."
"Why would Bennett marry Catalina?"
"It's so obvious that he hates her so much! That is impossible!"
Aaron couldn't believe it at all.
Inside the car.
Bennett was hugging Catalina without any expression and let her sit in his arms.
His body was tense and stiff as an ice sculpture without temperature.
His beautiful face looked gloomy and scary.
Inside the car, the ambiance was extremely awkward.
In the front seats, Vincent and the driver didn't even dare to breathe.
Catalina, who was leaning in Bennett's arms opened her eyes in a daze.
What caught her eye was Bennett's handsome and awe-inspiring face.
His lips were drawn tight. He was staring at her with his cold eyes without blinking.
Those sharp gazes were like the sharp sword out of its sheath. They were aggressive as if they wished to pierce her through.
As soon as Catalina met his gaze, her eyes got wet.
She thought that she must be dreaming again.
The man who was carrying her just now was Aaron and how come it suddenly became Bennett?
She thought to herself that would be great if it was Bennett.
Catalina's tears welled up in her eyes
She stretched out her hand and couldn't help to caress his tense face.
Bennett was shocked.
His heart skipped a beat.
Suddenly, he heard her saying in a low voice while burying herself in his chest, "Do you know how much I like you?"
Bennett's breathing suddenly stopped.
His nostrils expanded rapidly and then slowly retracted.
The frosty look on his face melted in an instant.
The temperature inside the car rose rapidly.
Even Vincent, who was sitting in the front seat could feel the change of ambiance in the car.
Bennett swallowed hard and said, "What did you say? Say it again..."
His voice was hoarse.
"I like you! I have been liking you for a long time..."
Catalina boldly confessed her love.
Her eyes were teary.
Under the influence of alcohol, she stretched her neck, and carefully brought her lips toward his.
When the four lips met each other, Bennett's pupils dilated and the arms he was holding onto her got tightened little by little.
His chest was heaving violently and his breathing was chaotic.
