SWNOVELS Chapter 49 Special Care
Chapter 49 Special Care
Catalina didn't want to follow his words. But so many people were here, she didn't want to make him look no good. In addition, it was boring for her to sit here. She thought she could do it for killing time! She took the opener, and carefully shelled it one by one.
Darnell looked at Catalina, and then turned to Bennett, who was sitting next to her with an indifferent face.
He knew it all.
Ben was a real liar!
He said he had no interest in this little girl.
"Ben, how about the trip to Gilburgh?"
While saying so, Darnell threw out a card.
Catalina's heart tightened, and she couldn't help glancing at the man beside her.
"Not bad."
Bennett gave him an official answer without looking up.
"Is it settled?"
"Yeah."
Bennett remained expressionless.
Catalina couldn't know his mood.
"My turn."
Darnell threw out a card and asked again, "Is that one still angry with you?"
Catalina stopped suddenly.
Angry?
So, Bennett went to Gilburgh this time to coax his girlfriend?
"I won."
Bennett showed others his cards.
Darnell was stunned.
Then he complained, "Ben, are you serious? Why did you catch me? He's your left opponent. You should catch him, but not me! I'm your cousin anyway. How can you do that to me?" Bennett said, "Because you're so noisy."
Darnell felt grieved.
They shuffled the cards.
This time, Darnell kept the lesson in his mind. He didn't follow his left opponent, but followed Bennett.
"Club 7."
Bennett threw out his card without expression.
Darnell was very proud and raised his hand. "Me too. Club 7! How about it? Ben, what can you do to me this time?"
"I won."
Bennett showed his cards, "Seven pairs and big numbers. Eight times."
Darnell was dumbfounded.
A few seconds later, he responded, "Shit! Did you do it on purpose? You don't want the card you got by yourself but just waited for me?"
"There is no rule that I can't do this."
Bennett shuffled the cards calmly.
But Darnell couldn't calm down. "Shit! Ben, are you the devil?"
Obviously, he didn't want money or win others. He aimed at Darnell!
What's more, he attacked Darnell but didn't care about how many he would lose at all.
Darnell couldn't go on the game.
"Come on, Ben, how did I offend you today?"
"No."
Bennett didn't admit.
Darnell glanced at Catalina, who sat quietly beside with walnuts, and said, "Did I bully you?"
"No."
Catalina was confused and she shook her head fast.
She didn't understand why involved her in.
"See! Ben, I didn't bully your little Catalina."
Darnell looked innocent.
He had no idea about when he offended Bennett.
He was still in fear about Ben's maltreatment last time after being beaten!
Bennett looked cold and did not say anything.
Darnell said, "Is it because that one in Gilburgh refused to come back with you? Then you're so angry and that's why you made fun of me?" Bennett looked up at Darnell.
"Do you think there is someone that would refuse me?"
"Yeah, you are the top negotiator."
Darnell began to flutter Bennett and showed him a thumbs up.
In fact, they were talking about a Saytonese physics scientist in Gilburgh.
That was a high-tech top talent.
But Catalina didn't know that.
"Oh."
Catalina was distracted and her finger was caught by the opener.
It hurt so much!
She almost burst into tears with pain.
Catalina put her finger into her mouth immediately.
But somehow, her finger did not hurt, but her heart did.
What the hell!
Hearing her exclaim, Bennett just glanced at her quietly.
She put her injured finger in her mouth and sucked it. Because of the pain, her little face was crumpled.
Her eyes were wet and she looked so pitiful.
Bennett frowned subconsciously.
He had no interest in playing cards suddenly.
How could there be such a stupid woman in the world?
"I'll leave."
Bennett got up.
"Ben, you've just played sever rounds!" Darnell was a little disappointed.
"You wanna lose more?" Bennett glanced at him.
Darnell choked, then he followed Bennett, bowed his head respectfully, raised his hands and said, "OK, take care, Ben."
Bennett ignored him. He looked down at Catalina, who was still sitting there.
Seeing his eyes, Catalina was still a little nervous.
She bounced up from the chair and handed the peeled walnut to him, "...what you want."
She was so timid and cute, like a rabbit meeting a lion.
Bennett didn't look at the walnuts in her hand, but focused on her pinched finger.
The finger was swollen and there was black blood in it. It looked terrible.
Bennett frowned.
Was she an idiot? How could she hurt herself with a walnut?
Bennett pressed down his anger and left.
Catalina noticed the anger in his eyes.
What was the matter?
Did he think her walnuts were dirty?
It might be so!
He was quite a clean person.
Catalina said nothing. She put a walnut into her mouth and followed Bennett.
When she came out, Bennett was already in the car.
"Mrs. Shaffer, please."
Vincent stood beside the car and waited for her respectfully.
"Thank you."
Catalina hadn't seen Vincent for a month. When seeing him again, she felt familiar somehow. She smiled and nodded at him, then she got on the car.
The atmosphere in the car was inexplicably strange.
Catalina didn't speak.
Bennett didn't speak too.
Catalina looked out of the window.
Bennett looked out of the window too.
There was thick embarrassment in the car.
Vincent, in the passenger seat, mustered his courage to break the awkward and strange situation several times. But at last, he gave up when he saw Ben's face.
So scary!
It was better to be careful not to get involved.
Catalina looked outside. She looked calm but actually, her heart beat fast.
She put a walnut to her mouth from time to time to calm herself down.
Bennett was back.
She was obviously happier. She even couldn't help putting up a smile.
She just couldn't hold it.
But on the other hand, she was a little upset.
Because, his talk with Darnell today had confirmed her guess.
Bennett went to Gilburgh to meet his beloved girl.
Catalina sighed with depression.
She wondered when she could be free from the torment.
While she was thinking about it, something small flew over and fell on her leg.
She was a little shocked and then looked at it.
She found that what on her leg was an ointment.
It seemed to be bought from abroad, because it was all foreign language on it. She couldn't understand a word.
Catalina looked at Bennett in amazement.
Bennett said with a cold face, "I remember that there is still an ointment for blood stasis in the car. It'll expire."
Catalina was speechless.
So, he gave her the ointment because it was going to expire?
Vincent in the passenger seat was a little speechless.
It was the ointment he bought in Gilburgh several days ago. It hadn't been used once. How could it expire?
Why was his boss so stubborn?
