SWNOVELS Chapter 45 I Don't Love Him
Chapter 45 I Don't Love Him
Catalina gave Bennett a shy kiss lightly.
However, it was like a trigger in Bennett's heart.
Just a slight temptation could make every cell in his body boil.
He could not help but hold the back of Catalina's head and press it against himself, enjoying the kiss impatiently.
Catalina, who was intoxicated, responded his movements somewhat shakily.
The temperature inside the car was rising steadily...
A charming atmosphere was constantly fermenting inside the car.
Vincent, who was sitting in the front, turned his head and looked out the window as if nothing had happened, but his ears and face already reddened.
Goodness!
What did he see?
This was such an extremely rare occasion!
He was about to shed the tears of a worried mother.
Tonight, he was super jealous of Bennett.
Bennett's kiss was domineering, strong, and aggressive.
Within ten minutes, Catalina was out of breath.
Sensing her discomfort, Bennett had to move back half an inch from her red lips.
He looked down at her in his arms.
His eyes were burning and they almost scalded Catalina. His seductive Adam's apple moved and he asked, "Do you know what you just said?"
The drunken Catalina blinked and nodded.
Bennett felt a wave of heat rushing to the top of his head. "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"
His voice was completely hoarse.
Tears suddenly welled in Catalina's eyes and she grabbed his shirt collar with her small hands while looking aggrieved. "I always thought that the person I was going to marry was you, and that was the happiest time ever in my life. I felt like I was dreaming and every day, I looked forward to the day I put on a wedding dress for you, but why..."
Catalina sobbed and tears streamed down her face. "But why did my groom suddenly change? I don't love him at all, I've never loved him, but I have to marry him..."
Catalina's words made the expression on Bennett's face turn icy at a speed visible to the naked eye.
There was a frightening chill in his eyes which made everyone in the car shudder.
His hands on Catalina's shoulders were cold and stiff like iron tongs.
Inch by inch, he tightened his strength as if he was wishing to crush her shoulder blades in his palm.
So, did all her heartfelt confession and the words "I like you" from just now have nothing to do with him, Bennett Shaffer?
This woman just took him for Aaron!
The man she liked was Aaron.
The man she always wanted to marry was also Aaron!
However, Bennett, the stumbling block, stopped her.
She did not love him, let alone wanted to marry him!
There was a bloodthirsty sneer between Bennett's cold thin lips. His big hand suddenly clasped her jaw and he tightened his strength. After that, he approached her with a dangerous look on his face. "Catalina I am glad that I've made you live in such pain! In the future, the pain will only double, and I will never show any mercy to you again!"
After speaking, he coldly pushed Catalina away from his arms.
When he saw that the back of Catalina's head was about to hit the back of the chair, he leaned over reflexively, stretched out his hand, and firmly protected her head.
After he realized his contradictory action, Bennett's face turned cold and threw her away coldly. He stopped caring about her anymore.
After being 'thrown around' twice, Catalina became dizzy. Then, she collapsed on the seat and fell asleep unconsciously.
In front seats, the driver and Vincent felt as if they were in hell.
They were clearly in the tropics just now, but how did they come to a glacier in the polar region in the blink of an eye?
Vincent sneaked a peek at Bennett in the rear seat from the rearview mirror.
It would be fine if he did not, but when he did, he was shocked.
His heart trembled.
Goodness gracious!
Mr. Shaffer kept a straight face, as if he was the king of evils.
He shook his head silently.
"Oh no, everyone in the company will be doomed tomorrow!"
Early morning the next day.
Catalina woke up with a splitting headache. She felt as if her brain was about to explode.
"Mrs. Shaffer, you finally woke up. Do you have a headache? How much did you drink yesterday?"
As Wendy asked that, she handed over a hot towel and motioned for Catalina to apply it to her forehead.
"What time is it?"
Catalina was still a little confused but she obediently covered her forehead with a towel before closing her eyes again.
She would rest a little longer.
"It's still early for work. It's only half past seven."
"Okay..."
Catalina responded and asked, "How did I come back yesterday?"
"You came back with Mr. Shaffer!"
"Who?"
Catalina flipped over and sat up immediately.
The hot towel fell off her forehead to the quilt.
"Why are you reacting that way? Have you forgotten all about last night?"
"...No, no, I didn't forget..."
It was precisely she did not forget it, so that was why Catalina was frightened.
Right after Wendy said that, Catalina suddenly remembered everything from last night.
If...
If she was not dreaming, then last night...
She confessed her feelings to Bennett!
She said...
She liked him! And she had always liked him!
Moreover, at that time she even took the initiative to kiss him...
"It's over, it's over!"
Catalina clutched her head and bit her thumb furiously. Then, she muttered in despair, "I'm crazy! I'm really crazy"
God!
What did she do while she was drunk?
What about her promise of carrying her love for that man into the coffin?
Catalina wanted to pull out her own tongue. Moreover, she wanted to kill herself by slamming her head against the wall and that would be the end of it all. "Mrs. Shaffer, what's wrong with you?"
Wendy was confused when she saw Catalina suddenly hugging her head and howling.
She guessed, "Could it be that you... did something crazy in front of Mr. Shaffer last night?"
"... Yes, I got drunk and acted crazy."
Catalina felt a little helpless.
However, she still remembered that after she finished her confession, Bennett said something back to her.
He said, "Catalina, I am glad that I've made you live in such pain! In the future, the pain will only double, and I will never show any mercy to you again!"
Catalina felt a stab in her heart.
What did he mean by that?
The implication was that not only did he not care about her feelings, but he would humiliate her even more and trample her even more in the future?
Indeed...
Just as she thought.
Catalina's love was just a huge joke to him.
From then on, she, Catalina Grant, would be like a clown who took off her clothes and performed in front of him!
Catalina lowered her head. She was biting her thumb tightly until it turned white, but she did not feel any pain at all.
It was because the barren land in her heart hurt even more!
After a while, Catalina finished washing up and recomposed herself before going out to the dining room for breakfast.
Unexpectedly, Bennett was there too.
Catalina reflexively wanted to run away.
Yet, in the next second, she retracted her leg that stepped forward.
Why was she running away?
She should have taken this opportunity to speak to Bennett.
Catalina took a deep breath without showing any signs. Then, she turned around and re-entered the dining room while pretending to be calm.
