Marriage Without Love: Sir, Please Stop novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145

Catalina was perplexed by his behavior.

"You can wear conservative ones for going out and revealing ones at home."

Bennett answered with a matter-of-fact tone.

He might as well say that she could wear conservative ones around others and revealing ones just for him.

Catalina was left speechless!

Extremely speechless!!

Eventually, Bennett ignored her protest and paid for all the clothes she had tried on. Catalina took off that torn dress and changed into a white T-shirt and jeans.

She could easily buy these types of clothes within 2 hundred bucks, but now, here he was, spending 20 thousand dollars on two sets.

Were they made of gold?

Catalina thought it was a waste of money.

He might as well just give her the cash!

Rich people really knew how to flaunt their wealth.

With bags in hand, Bennett walked out of the store.

Catalina quickly caught up with him and said, "Let me help you."

"No need!"

Bennett waved his arm and turned her down.

Strictly speaking, this was Bennett's first time shopping.

Before, he had always been accompanied by a group of assistants. Rather than shopping, he merely chose from the clothes selected by the stylist. He didn't even need to pay for them by himself.

Let alone carrying these bags.

It was the first time he did it in his life.

This was a moment for him to show his masculinity. How would he let Catalina do it?

Just then, he saw a young couple ahead who were joking and teasing each other.

"Baby, can you carry this bag for me?"

The young man asked and passed something in his right hand to his girlfriend.

Pouting, she protested, "A gentleman should not make a girl carry bags."

Despite her protest, she still reached out and took the bag over.

The young man grinned and, with his now empty hand, he took his girlfriend's hand. He said, "I just wanted to hold hands with you. What if you left with someone else?"

Her face lit up with a radiant smile.

Bennett was silent.

Just as they walked down the street, they unexpectedly witnessed a couple showing affection in public.

It felt downright awkward.

Especially when...

He glanced down at his hands, which were now entirely occupied by shopping bags.

He turned back and glanced at Catalina.

Her mind was occupied with worries about whether she could return all these clothes, so she hadn't noticed the young couple up ahead.

Noticing that Bennett was staring at her, she raised an eyebrow and blinked her eyes in confusion, asking, "What's up?"

"Here you go!"

Bennett handed her the bags he had been carrying.

Catalina was even more puzzled and asked again, "But weren't you just telling me that you would carry these bags on your own?"

"Just do as I ask. Why are you asking so many questions?"

Bennett's otherwise composed and handsome face blushed.

Catalina found it strange, but she still took over the bags from him.

Bennett shot an awkward glance at her, and with one hand in his pocket, he continued walking ahead.

Holding hands with someone in a public place made him feel... somewhat embarrassed!

No, it was beyond that--it could embarrass him to death!

Within a few seconds, Catalina found he was several steps ahead.

She furrowed her brow as she watched him walk away.

What was wrong with this guy?

Why did she get the sense that he was... acting shy?

Shy?

What had just happened between them that would make him act all bashful?

Catalina was utterly baffled and had no idea why he was acting like this.

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, she heard the man in front of her asking, "Do you have short legs or something? Why are you walking so slowly? Come on."

Up ahead, Bennett still had his back turned to her.
