Marriage Without Love: Sir, Please Stop novel Chapter 147

Chapter 147

Bennett had never felt so exhausted before, but after being so tired, he strangely felt at ease.

He slumped on the sofa, closed his eyes to rest, and asked Catalina, "What should we have for dinner? I'll ask Ralph to send someone over to cook."

"Are you hungry?"

"Uh... Huh."

His stomach had been growling loudly for a while now.

Catalina glanced at the time and realized it was indeed getting late.

She had planned to cook a nice meal for him, but it seemed like there wasn't enough time now.

Besides, she didn't want to rush and cook for him.

Sometimes, the sense of ceremony was also important.

"That's fine. Please ask Ralph to arrange it!"

"Okay."

After responding to her, Bennett got up and made a phone call to Ralph.

Catalina sat on the floor with her legs crossed and she was dismantling some small items. She heard the discussion between Bennett and Ralph on the dinner arrangements. He also asked Ralph to pack some of his belongings and move them over.

Clearly, he really intended to stay with her there.

In Catalina's heart, she felt nervous, excited, and somewhat apprehensive.

After Bennett finished the call, Catalina pointed upstairs to the rooms. She was too shy to look at him and she said, "You can pick a room first! After you decide, I'll pick mine."

Bennett squatted down beside her and asked, "Which room are you going to choose?"

"Why do you ask that?"

Catalina's cheeks blushed slightly.

Bennett moved a new carpet that had just been put in and placed it on the floor before sitting down. He replied, "I want to stay with you."

He said it matter-of-factly.

"Stay in the same room? No, I can't!"

Catalina nervously raised her voice and continued, "How can we stay in the same room? This... This... This is impossible! I can't do it. I..."

"I mean, stay in the adjacent room. We can stay next to each other. What are you thinking?"

"Uh..."

Catalina blushed and added, "You should have made that clear from the beginning..."

"Do you really not want to live in the same room with me that badly?"

"No, staying in the adjacent room is fine. I didn't mean that I don't want to!"

"I was asking, do you not want to stay in the same room as me?"

Catalina was speechless.

Her face turned red, and she hesitated to continue her sentence.

"Alright, I got it."

Bennett interrupted her before she could finish her sentence.

Catalina was bewildered.

Surprisingly, Bennett's ears had also turned slightly red, and said, "But I never thought about using the same room with you."

"After all, for me, that would be playing with fire!"

In the end, the one who would be tormented the most would be himself.

Bennett licked his dry lips, got up, and returned to the couch.

Catalina didn't know how to respond.

Her heart was pounding heavily.

She couldn't help but glance at the man on the couch a few times.

It all felt like a dream to her.

Bennett and she...

She was with the man she had always looked up to...

Now, they were living under the same roof.

And it wasn't like before, where they were forced into this situation, and he no longer treated her with cold sarcasm.

They naturally drew closer to each other...

Catalina couldn't help but feel that moment was too unbelievable!

Unbelievable to the point that she found it hard to believe.

Yet, that was reality.
