Marriage Without Love: Sir, Please Stop novel Chapter 56

Chapter 56 Bennett Is Considerate

The next morning.

Bennett was roused by a clear laugh.

He got up, changed his clothes, and went out.

Outside the door, the golden morning light shone in, making the entire living room particularly bright.

Since Bennett had just woken up, he couldn't adapt to the strong light outside and subconsciously blocked it out with his hand.

After a few seconds, he slowly moved his hand away.

Within his sight, a girl, barefoot and with her pant legs rolled up, was treading on the sheets soaking in a large wooden basin.

White foam hopped around her fair feet, making her ten toes more crystal and delicate.

Catalina was basking in the golden sunlight, and her laughter rang out clearly.

For a moment, Bennett thought he was still in a dream.

"Good morning, Bennett."

Maggie's voice suddenly rang out beside him.

Bennett slowly came back to his senses and nodded politely to Maggie. "Good morning, Grandma."

At the door, Catalina, who was helping Keira wash the quilt, subconsciously turned around at the sound to take a look.

She happened to meet Bennett's deep amber eyes. She panicked and thought of last night when they had hugged and slept together. Her face flushed, and she immediately turned her head back.

For a moment, she felt very shy.

Her heart was beating wildly.

"Let's go to breakfast, Bennett."

Maggie asked Bennett to sit down at the table. "Knowing that you're here, I specially made some ravioli for you!"

"Thank you, Grandma."

Bennett quickly thanked her.

His eyes, however, would always stray to the lively figure in the sunlight.

It was as if her laughter had an inexplicable infectious force that even his cold heart was sprinkled with sunlight at the moment.

He felt warm and comfortable.

Just as he was lost in thought, suddenly, Bennett caught a glimpse of a small blood stain on Catalina's light-colored pants.

He frowned.

Then he suddenly felt slightly unwell.

Bennett stood up, took off his windbreaker, and strode out.

While Catalina was still treading merrily on the sheets, she suddenly felt a heavy weight on her shoulders and then was tightly wrapped in a thick men's windbreaker.

Catalina was stunned.

She looked dazedly at Bennett and blinked in bewilderment. "I'm not cold..."

She thought Bennett was afraid that she might catch a cold.

With a black face, Bennett pinched his eyebrows and said, "You're on your period."

"What?"

Catalina quickly lifted the windbreaker and turned to look at her pants.

Then she realized that Bennett was right.

She felt very embarrassed.

The reason was that she didn't even feel it at all.

"As a woman, can't you even remember your own period?"

Catalina said, "...Who knows that it'll come in advance?"

After taking a glance at Bennett, who was not looking well, Catalina felt a little guilty and said, "Are you okay?"

She knew that he had always been afraid of seeing blood.

Therefore, she would be very guilty if he passed out because of her menstrual blood.

Bennett didn't answer her question but said, "I'm going out for a while."

After saying that, he left her there and strode out of the door.

"Hey! Where are you going?"

Catalina came out of the wooden basin and craned her neck to shout, "You haven't had your ravioli yet!"

"To get some fresh air."

With that, he left.

Catalina was a bit embarrassed and a bit guilty.

She thought, "Obviously, he was really scared by the blood on my pants.

Will he hate me even more in the future?"
