Marriage Without Love: Sir, Please Stop novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64 The Best Couple

Catalina arrived at Starham with the rest of the team by flight that day.

They then continued by bus to a very remote county.

Five hours of driving and another three hours on the bus brought them to Starham Mountain.

After a short walk from the bus stop, they reached the foot of the mountain.

Starham Mountain was a cliffside outcropping in a narrow gorge between two towering peaks.

It was difficult for people to enter the canyon, making it even more difficult for the car to enter.

Lucky for them, a villager had brought mules to help them with their luggage.

"Please be cautious as you walk. Stay on the wall and away from the cliff edge." The villager warned them.

"Catalina, I'm so scared."

Emery balanced herself by placing one hand on the wall and the other on Catalina's hand. Her legs were shaking from nervousness. "What on earth was the chief editor thinking? Why did he send us to such a dangerous place?"

Catalina was also the first time to set foot on such a steep mountain. She had never been in such a perilous location before, so it was natural for her to feel scared.

Catalina knew she couldn't show any fear because Emery was already terrified. To cheer up her friend, she could only say, "It's okay. This is what we should go through. If we succeed, we might even get a promotion when we return! Maybe everyone will be green with envy over us."

"Wow! What gives you cause for such hope? Is the camera on? When we come back, I must show the chief editor with evidence of our ordeal."

"Sure. It's on!"

The group walked for nearly four hours in the mountains while chattering. It was after dark when they finally made it to the Starham Mountain office.

As soon as dinner was over, everyone collapsed into bed from exhaustion.

Catalina checked her phone before going to sleep out of habit.

"You can put down your phone."

Emery removed her journal from her suitcase and placed it on her pillow. She got on the floor and said, "I've checked it before. Once we reached the mountainous region, the cell phone service virtually vanished. We cannot do anything, not just use the Internet, but even make a phone call."

"Fine."

Catalina put down her phone because she had no choice.

But she couldn't stop thinking about Bennett and whether he had seen the divorce papers she had left on the table.

She started to think about his reaction when he saw the paper, whether he'd be angry or relieved. She wondered if he would call and question her about what was happening.

Catalina couldn't help but glance at her phone again.

Her phone screen didn't light up, indicating that she had not missed any important calls or texts.

Emery was lying contentedly while reading her journal. "I can't live without the Internet! Thank God I brought my journal because otherwise, I'd be so bored."

Catalina only glanced at the journal absentmindedly but accidentally spotted a photo of Bennett and Claire.

She frowned and turned around immediately. She pretended to sleep by closing her eyes.

The expression on Catalina's face was telling, and Emery picked up on it. She felt remorse when she saw the photo in the journal.

"Catalina, I'm sorry. I..."

"It's okay. I don't care about that."

Catalina cut Emery off before she could finish her sentence.
