Chapter 31 Catalina Is Angry

What happened to Catalina next was exactly what he had expected.

With a bang, she bumped into the stone sculpture in front.

Catalina immediately let out a cry in pain.

She stooped and covered her pelvis being hit.

Her tears almost burst out.

Apparently, it hurt a lot.

"Are you an idiot?"

Bennett came up, threw his windbreaker on the sofa, and held Catalina's trembling shoulders with both

hands. "Where did it hit?"

Catalina's face was pale. It hurt so much that she could not speak at all. Her eyes were wet and

covered with a layer of painful tears.

Bennett was furious and said, "Over these few years, you have only grown in your temper, but not your

IQ, right?"

With a sullen face, he rebuked Catalina.

Meanwhile, he reached out his long arm and pulled Catalina, who couldn't straighten up at all, up from

the ground.

Catalina was startled.

As soon as she fell into his arms, her pale face turned red.

"...You don't have to be so mean when scolding me, do you?"

Catalina's heart was pounding.

Bennett didn't speak.

His face was still sullen.

He didn't even spare a glance at her.

Catalina felt that he seemed to be angry.

She thought, "But what is he angry about?

Is it still about that ugly doll?"

Catalina wasn't sure, but she didn't dare to ask, for fear that she would accidentally infuriate him again.

Bennett carried her to the sofa. Then he turned his back, took out his mobile phone, and made a call.

Catalina didn't know who he was calling.

She just doubted whether the person at the end of the phone would answer his call this late at night.

Catalina rubbed her pelvis silently.

Her facial features huddled together because of pain.

"Damn. I suspect that my pelvis was cracked by myself, but I'm embarrassed to check it in front of

Bennett," she thought.

As she was thinking, Bennett suddenly said in a low voice, "Ryker."

Catalina froze.

She said to herself in her heart, "Dr. Hood?!

Why would he call a doctor at three in the morning? What does he want to do?

Could it be that he is asking Dr. Hood to check my pelvis?"

Catalina thought that Bennett was unlikely to do such a thing.

"Come to Sophora Villa. I'll wait for you in the main living room."

"Who is sick? No one."

Bennett turned around and glanced coldly at Catalina, who was looking up at him in confusion. "I just

want you to come and check someone's brain."

Catalina was speechless for a moment.

After hearing that, she was finally sure that Bennett was really calling Ryker for her.

However, he was not calling Ryker to check her pelvis.

Instead, he was calling him to check her brain.

Catalina hadn't expected that.

She was angry.

Enduring the pain, she got up.

While Bennett didn't notice, she grabbed his mobile phone from behind and said, "Dr. Hood, I'm sorry

to bother your rest so late. Just continue to sleep! Nothing happened here. It's all right! Yes, he's just

joking! OK, goodbye."

After hanging up, Catalina was finally relieved.

When she looked back, however, she saw Bennett staring at her gloomily, as if about to eat her alive.

Catalina's neck shrank in fright, and she retreated back into the sofa.

Bennett pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

Catalina didn't dare to look at him. She stared at her ten toes with her head down and didn't dare to say

anything.

Finally, unexpectedly, Bennett took the lead in breaking the silence. "Where did the stone sculpture hit

you?" he asked.

He had calmed down, but he was still angry.

"It...It hit my waist."

"Lift up your clothes."

"What?"

"Just do as I said! Hurry up!"

Bennett had clearly lost all patience.

"No... No, I'll let Wendy..."

"Do you want me to do it myself?"

"No, I mean, you are a man, and I'm a woman. Even if you're not shy, I'm shy!"

Catalina's face turned red.

She pressed hard on the hem of her upper clothes with both hands, for fear that Bennett would ignore

her unwillingness.

Bennett suddenly leaned down, his cold face approached her flushed face, and pinched her chin with

his slender fingers. "Which part of you that I haven't seen before?"

"You..."

Catalina's small face flushed even more, and she said angrily, "You hooligan!"

She stuck out a foot and wanted to kick him.

Bennett, however, was quick of eye and deft of hand. He grasped her ankle with a big hand.

His deep amber eyes darkened instantly.

Catalina was shocked.

She was in a panic. The redness on her face spread to her neck, and even her breath was completely

getting hectic.

Her ankle was controlled by Bennett's rough palm. For a moment, it seemed as if there were a hundred

volts of electricity flowing through her skin and then reaching her heart.

Catalina didn't know what to do for a moment.

Her foot struggled in his palm, and she said, "Let go of me quickly..."

All her ten fair toes were flushed.

Bennett stared at her for a moment. The next second, he quickly lifted the hem of her clothes and

glanced at the place where she had been hit. Then he immediately dropped the hem and released his

hand.

After a moment, he stood up as if nothing had happened.

The darkness at the bottom of his eyes had faded, and the usual indifference had resumed on his face.

He put both hands in his pockets and looked down at her. "You're still quite quick in action. Looks like

the stone sculpture didn't hurt you very badly just now."

After saying that, Bennett grabbed the windbreaker beside him and left coldly.

When Catalina snapped back to her senses from her shyness, he had gone for a while.

"Damn!"

Catalina patted herself on the forehead.

She thought, "I waited for him so late because I wanted to talk with him about visiting Grandma, didn't

I? But what happened?

I stayed up all night in vain and even bumped myself in vain. I haven't mentioned it to him, but he's

already left."

Catalina felt that she was really stupid.

"I've really grown only in my temper, but not my IQ..." she roasted to herself.

Thinking that this was Bennett's mockery to her just now, she puffed up her cheeks and scolded with

indignation, "He's the one having great growth in his temper! Does he not know how bad-tempered he

is? How dare he mock me like that?"

Catalina was a little unhappy.

...

The next day.

It was the weekend.

Catalina woke up later than usual.

It was already ten o'clock in the morning when she went to the dining room for breakfast.

She was still a little sore from bumping into the stone sculpture last night.

Fortunately, she used some medical oil on her own after returning to her bedroom. Otherwise, she was

afraid that it would be too painful for her to get out of bed today.

When Catalina passed the living room, for some reason, she felt that something was missing.

She looked around several times before she finally realized what had happened.

What was missing was the stone sculpture that hit her badly last night.

"Ralph, why is the stone sculpture here gone?"

Ralph said, "Early in the morning, Mr. Shaffer asked someone to move it away."

"Is that so?"

Catalina was surprised.

She thought in confusion, "Why did Bennett ask someone to remove the stone sculpture?

Is he really worried about me bumping into it again by accident?

But is it possible?"

The next second, Ralph perfectly solved the confusion in her heart. "Mr. Shaffer said that he was

worried that someone stupid would break it, so he put it in the collection room to keep it."

Catalina was speechless for a while.

Then she sneered in her heart, "Well, well, well.

It turns out that he's worried about his precious stone sculpture!

So, in his mind, I'm less valuable than a stone, right?"

Thinking of this, Catalina said angrily, "That's made of stone. Who can break it?"

Catalina was really confused and upset. After all, her pelvis still hurt.

"I think so. Who would be so stupid to bump into a stone? I think Mr. Shaffer is worried about

something that is unlikely to happen. Maybe he likes that big stone too much."

Catalina didn't know what to say for a moment. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

After all, she had really bumped into a stone last night.

Catalina didn't even want to have breakfast today because she was too angry to eat anything.
