Chapter 55 A Short Moment of Intimacy
"No."
Bennett quickly stood up.
"Here, this is your cousin's nightgown. It's clean."
Keira handed the nightgown to Catalina.
"Thank you, Keira."
"Thank you."
Catalina and Bennett said in unison.
"You're welcome. I'll go to bed now. You guys should also rest early!"
As she spoke, Keira went out and closed the door for them.
Catalina handed the nightgown to Bennett and said, "If you don't mind, you can wear it!"
Bennett looked at the nightgown in her arms and frowned uncomfortably.
Catalina just wanted him to refuse.
Unexpectedly, he reached out and took the nightgown over. "Where is the bathroom?"
Catalina was stunned.
She did not expect Bennett to actually accept it.
She glanced up at him.
His deep amber eyes were stained with the blood of weariness.
It seemed that he was really tired.
Catalina couldn't bear to embarrass him anymore. "Go out and turn right, but the bathroom in this house is connected to the toilet. Can you accept that?"
She was very suspicious.
As she had expected, Bennett instantly pursed his thin lips.
Even so, he still walked out of the door with the nightgown in his arms.
Catalina was a little worried and quickly followed up.
Bennett walked into the bathroom.
Catalina turned on the light behind him.
He frowned uncomfortably when he saw the squat toilet.
"Towel."
"There's no new towel at home."
Catalina was telling the truth.
Bennett turned his head back and gave her a very dissatisfied glance.
Catalina calmly said, "Nobody expected you to come."
"Yours."
"What?"
"Towel!"
Bennett's impatience was already obvious.
Catalina finally reacted. "Do you want to use my towel?"
"Or what? Are you going to let me use your brother's?"
Apparently, Bennett had reached the limit of his endurance.
Catalina was silent for a moment.
She flushed slightly and said, "Then wait a moment. I hung it on the balcony."
Catalina quickly went to the balcony to get her towel.
At the thought that Bennett was about to take a shower with her towel, Catalina couldn't help but blush.
She handed the towel to Bennett and said, "Well...It's been washed."
Bennett took it without expression.
Then he took out a bottle of disinfectant from his pocket and sprayed it on her towel for a while.
From front to back, inside and outside, he did not miss any part of it.
Catalina was speechless.
She couldn't help but think, "Am I poisonous?"
Catalina turned around in anger and left.
She decided to leave Bennett alone.
Seeing Catalina leave, Bennett put the disinfection spray back in his pocket.
Looking at Catalina's pink towel in his hand, he slightly frowned.
He thought, "It's so strange. When was my cleanliness mania cured in front of this woman without any treatment?
It took me all my endurance to accept her cousin's nightgown, but I actually accepted the towel she had used so easily.
What the hell!"
...
Catalina was lying on the bed under a quilt, nervously.
She still didn't know how the two of them should sleep when Bennett came back.
She thought, "It's so cold, and there is no sofa in my room. I can't sleep on the floor, can I?
Of course, I would never dare ask Bennett to sleep on the floor.
Moreover, there is no extra quilt in my room.
