Marriage Without Love: Sir, Please Stop novel Chapter 46

Chapter 46 He's Our Husband

"Mrs. Shaffer, good morning."

Ralph, who was waiting beside Bennett, greeted Catalina earnestly.

"Good morning, Ralph."

Catalina responded with a smile as if nothing had happened.

Her eyes fell on Bennett inadvertently, observing him calmly.

At this moment, he indifferently flipped through the financial morning paper in his hand.

His eyes were lowered slightly so Catalina could not see the emotion in his eyes clearly.

Yet even so, she could still clearly feel the cold light emanating from his body.

It seemed that even his fingers were ice cold.

His unapproachable aura was even more frightening.

He was in a terrible mood.

Catalina felt it.

Catalina figured the reason must be due to her sudden confession yesterday.

After all, she breached the agreement.

He said that she was not allowed to fall in love with him, and they even signed an agreement back then.

And now, she said she liked him.

This was all beyond his control, so how would he be happy?

After Catalina guessed all his thoughts, she pretended to be calm and sat down on Bennett's left.

Soon, the maids came forward to serve her meals.

Bennett never even looked at her. He was treating her like transparent air.

"Bennett."

Finally, Catalina mustered up the courage to speak.

Bennett finally lifted his eyelids from the newspaper and glanced at her.

He just glanced at her and did nothing more.

The more he did that, the more nervous Catalina became.

It was because she could not figure out what he was thinking.

She kept rubbing her small hands against her legs. She felt like she did not know where to put them.

Her palms were full of sweat due to tension.

"Um... I'm sorry. I drank too much last night and I have a low alcohol tolerance, so I will start blabbering. Don't take what I said after drinking to heart, I... Those things I said were not directed to you actually..."

Catalina had a flash of inspiration and made up a huge lie. "Yes, they're not directed to you so please don't misunderstand."

Catalina felt that she was amazing at lying.

She even wanted to praise herself.

However, she had no idea whether Bennett believed her or not. He was just staring at her coldly.

Those eyes were chilly, icy, and fierce, as aggressive as sharp knives out of their sheath.

Catalina's psychological defense almost collapsed after he stared at her like this. "W-What's wrong?"

She asked.

She was tongue-tied.

She then pretended to touch her face with her hand and asked guiltily, "Is there something on my face?"

Bennett withdrew his gaze coldly and did not answer. After that, he continued to treat her like air again and asked Ralph behind him, "Have you arranged the itinerary?"

Ralph respectfully reported, "Yes, I've arranged the flight to Gilburgh and you can take off whenever you want."

"The flight to Gilburgh?"

Catalina was taken aback.

"He's going to Gilburgh again?"

"Why?

"Is he going to work, or..." She wondered.

"Are you going to Gilburgh again? How long will you be gone this time?"

Catalina almost blurted out.

Bennett's eyes flickered behind the newspaper, and his hands holding the newspaper tightened unconsciously.

Shortly after, he regained his composure.

He put down the newspaper in his hand.

He crossed his long legs and looked at Catalina coldly. His posture was like that of an aloof monarch and his eyes were full of irony. "Do I need to tell you where I'm going or what I'm doing? Who do you think you are? You're just a toy at the end of the day! Are you even qualified to ask about my itinerary?"

After he finished speaking indifferently, he got up and strode out.

Catalina sat at the dining table, her small face was already pale.
