Chapter 20 Mrs. Shaffer Fell into the Water

Chapter 20 Mrs. Shaffer Fell into the Water

In Sophora Villa.

On the antique bridge, Catalina leaned against the railing while holding the doll left by her mother in her

arms. She was talking on the phone with her grandmother in the hospital.

“Lina, did you fight with Aaron recently?”

Her grandmother asked worriedly on the phone.

Catalina was taken aback.

She knew that her grandmother was scrupulous and sensitive, so these days, she had been asking her

uncle and aunt to help hide her relationship with Aaron in order to avoid irritating her grandmother.

“No, Grandma, we're good!”

Catalina had to lie.

She thought that it would not be too late for her to tell her grandmother when her condition stabilized.

“Really?”

Her grandmother obviously did not believe her. “It’s been several weeks since I had the operation and

Aaron hasn’t come to see me. Every time you come over, you’re always alone. Lina, although I am old,

I am still sane, so you can’t fool me.”

“Grandma, how would I dare to fool you?”

Catalina pretended to be calm. “I’m telling the truth. Aaron and I have been doing well! I just talked to

Aaron just before I called you. He just happened to be busy with the company recently and was always

going on business trips. So, that’s why he doesn’t have time to see you. QA I'll tell him to come with me

next time, okay?”

“Alright, it’s good that you two are fine. I'm expecting you two have a baby soon! How’s it going, Lina?

Are you pregnant yet?”

For some reason, when her grandmother asked her that, the first thing that popped into Catalina’s mind

was the accidental kiss she had with Bennett that day. Catalina blushed instantly. “Grandma, we just

got married. How can we get a baby so quickly?”

“Right. I am too impatient. I’m just worried that my body…”

“Grandma, you’re starting to overthink again!”

Catalina hastily interrupted her grandmother’s words. “Don’t think about it. I promise you that I will have

a baby with Aaron as soon as possible.”

Catalina could only comforted her grandmother.

“That’s more like it.”

After hearing the promise, her grandmother finally got eased.

After hanging up the phone, Catalina let out a long sigh of relief. She looked at the doll in her arms and

sighed again, “Mom, do you know how much I wish you were here? Grandma and I miss you so

much.”

If her mother was still with her, she would not have been kicked out of the family.

If her stepmother did not embezzle her father’s money, maybe they would have the money for her

grandmother’s surgery.

That way, she would not have to sell herself to Bennett like a commodity.

Then she and Aaron...

Forget it!

Aaron was not a good man either.

After sighing, Catalina hugged the doll and prepared to leave.

However, when she turned around…

Thud!

Her head smashed into a solid wall of flesh.

“Ouch!”

Catalina howled in pain and rubbed her forehead.

"It hurts."

She looked up at the person in front of her.

She was stunned.

Bennett?

He was dressed in a black suit from head to toe. His face was gloomy and he looked like a devil from

hell who came here to take her life.

Catalina was startled, so she subconsciously grabbed the doll in her hand and took two hurried steps

back.

Gosh, who angered this devil again?

Meanwhile, Bennett spotted Catalina subtly holding onto the doll and he automatically translated it as

"caring".

His eyes darkened and he felt that it was an eyesore.

He thought to himself, "No wonder this girl takes this stupid doll with her everywhere she goes. It turns

out Aaron gave this to her."

Does she still want to have a baby with Aaron?

Does she still miss him?

Heh, old habits die hard.

“Um… I didn’t mean to run into you on purpose, I’m sorry...”

Catalina felt that the atmosphere was weird, so she immediately apologized, lowered her head, and

prepared to run away.

Unexpectedly, a long arm suddenly stretched out from behind her and snatched the doll from her

arms.

Catalina was caught off guard.

“Bennett, what are you doing?”

She panicked.

The doll was completely deformed by Bennett’s large hands.

He looked at the thing in his hand darkly. “Are you so concerned about this stupid thing?”

Catalina looked nervous. “Bennett, I don’t know how I provoked you again. If it’s because I ran into you

just now, then I apologize. I am sorry, but please don’t vent your anger on my doll because it is really

important to me!”

Catalina’s attitude was very sincere, and she was afraid that Bennett would destroy her doll.

However, the more she acted like that, the angrier Bennett was.

How dare she care so much about a stupid doll that another man gave her?

Does she want to keep it so she can continue to look at it and think about him?

Don't even think about it!

“Catalina, the more you care about something, the more I, Bennett Shaffer, want to destroy it!”

After saying that, Bennett just directly tore the doll in his hand into two pieces with a hiss.

Then, without hesitation, he threw it into the frozen lake.

The cotton wool flew out and landed on Catalina’s eyelashes. Tears almost fell from her eyes.

This was the last remnant her mother left her!

“Bennett, you scoundrel!”

With red eyes, Catalina rushed forward and pounded her fists on Bennett’s chest uncontrollably. “I hate

you, I hate you!!”

Bennett pushed away the crying Catalina indifferently and warned the servants guarding the lake.

“Anyone who dares to pick up the garbage from the lake for her will be sacked!”

All the servants shrunk their necks in fright, not daring to breathe.

Catalina’s face was wet with tears, but Bennett ignored her.

He turned around gloomily and strode away.

However, when he heard the sound of something entering the water behind him, he stopped in his

tracks. His complexion instantly became terribly gloomy and the air pressure around him plunged.

Catalina jumped into the water!

"This stupid woman even tried to give up her life for a stupid doll that Aaron gave her?" He thought.

Bennett clenched his fists.

The servants by the lake shouted in panic, “Mrs. Shaffer has fallen into the water! Hurry up! She can’t

swim!”

Catalina did not know how to swim.

Bennett stood on the shore, watching Catalina struggle in the bone-piercing cold water.

Because of this woman’s debauchery, she caused his most respected brother, Warren, to be in a coma

and bedridden with illness all year round.

Now, she was also half-hearted and refusing to change.

Even if she drowned in this body of water, she deserved it, let alone soaking in this biting ice water for a

while.

For the Shaffer family, Catalina’s death was not worthy of pity.

However, even if he felt this way, Bennett still jumped into the lake in the next second after seeing

Catalina sinking into the lake.

Catalina originally thought that she might die, but at that moment, she even thought that it would be

good if she did.

After she died, she could go meet her mother in heaven and she would no longer have to live with this

guilt.

“Cough cough cough cough!”

Catalina coughed violently. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

However, before she could breathe freely, she was pulled by a strong force. Then, with a thud, she hit

the shore of the lake behind her heavily.

"Ugh, it hurts!"

Catalina was knocked dizzy.

Bennett's burly body towered over her like a mountain. “Are you going to throw away your life for a

stupid doll?”
