Marriage Without Love: Sir, Please Stop novel Chapter 51

Chapter 51 Bennett's Tenderness 

Just as Bennett was thinking about it, the girl on the sofa suddenly sat up in a daze while rubbing her eyes and said, "Well, why am I here?" 

She blinked drowsily and looked puzzled at Bennett in the doorway. "Why am I sleeping here? Oh, I remember it. I fell asleep while writing my news manuscript..." 

Catalina's words darkened Bennett's originally soft expression. 

He thought, "So, I flattered myself, and this woman is not waiting for me at all? 

She just fell asleep here accidentally, right?" 

Catalina got up from the sofa and deliberately glanced with drowsy eyes at Bennett at the door. "Did you just come back?" 

Bennett ignored her. 

With a cold face, he put on his slipper and entered the room. 

Catalina put on her slippers and left the sofa. When she walked past Bennett, she inadvertently reminded him, "You'd better come back earlier in the future! After all, it's really tiring for Ralph to wait for you every day." 

Bennett's cold face darkened even more. 

He thought, "Well, look how considerate she is to others! 

I'm surer that I was flattering myself just now. 

Damn it! 

There was no such thing that the house became warm and lively just because she was here . That was nothing but a delusion. It was just that the heating in the room was turned up too much." 

Of course Catalina did not know what Bennett was thinking, but she could tell that he seemed to be in a bad mood. 

However, she had seldom seen him in a good mood. 

Therefore, Catalina didn't take it to heart. "I'm going back to my room. You should rest earlier, too!" 

Catalina yawned and was about to return to her room. 

She was already very sleepy, and after seeing Bennett back, she could finally have a sound sleep. 

Bennett pursed his lips tightly and did not speak. He followed her without expression, intending to return to the Lake Compound. 

Catalina walked to the door and was about to step onto the bridge. Unexpectedly, a flash of lightning tore through the night sky. 

She turned pale with fear and ran back with her head in her arms. 

Unexpectedly, with a bang, she suddenly bumped straight into the strong chest of Bennett, who was behind her. 

"Ouch!" 

Apparently, it hurt. 

After all, she had just banged her head on Bennett's chest. 

Bennett was caught off guard by the softness of the sudden bump in his arms. 

His strong body suddenly froze. 

The next moment, he came back to his senses, frowned, and threw Catalina in his arms onto the bridge like carrying a chick. "Why did you throw yourself at me? Behave yourself!" 

Bennett's voice was deep and cold. 

"I'm afraid of thunder!" 

Outside, the lightning was still striking. 

Unfortunately, the door was completely blocked by Bennett's tall body. 

Catalina covered her head with both hands and curled herself up. "Let me in..." 

Before Catalina had finished speaking, a thunder suddenly burst in the sky, as if to tear the chaotic world apart. 

"Help!" 

Catalina screamed in horror and wanted to escape at once. 

Catalina believed that those who were not afraid of thunder would never understand the fears of those who were. 

She thought that Bennett was probably one of them. 

To her surprise, before the second thunder had struck, she was suddenly caught by a strong hand and pulled into a robust chest. 

Bennett kept her firmly under guard. 

Catalina's heart suddenly beat violently. 

She looked up at him in surprise. 

She felt it was unbelievable. 

Bennett's chin tightened, and he lowered his eyes and glanced coldly at her. "What are you looking at?" 

Just at that moment, another deafening thunder struck. 

Catalina was so frightened that she immediately covered her ears firmly and got into his arms to hide herself. 

Bennett lowered his eyes slightly and quietly looked at the girl in his arms. 

She was like a frightened little wildcat huddling in his arms, frightened and helpless. This made his heart uncontrollably soften slightly with tenderness. 

Realizing that, Bennett was stunned for a moment. 

He could not believe that he had actually felt tenderness for Catalina.
