"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.
Well, it seems that we can only sleep in bed together."
Within half an hour, Bennett returned from his shower.
As soon as Catalina heard the sound of opening the door, she immediately retracted her head into the
quilt and turned to face the other side, pretending to be asleep.
Bennett entered the door and turned on the light.
He paused for a few seconds in the doorway.
Looking at the woman who had completely wrapped herself in the quilt, Bennett frowned, and his face
darkened.
He thought, "Does this woman think I'll do anything to her?"
Bennett walked forward with a cold face.
Catalina's heart beat violently as she heard his footsteps approaching.
The next moment, the quilt wrapped around her body was lifted, and the mattress behind her sank.
A cold, strong body got into her quilt.
Catalina thought in disbelief, "Bennett actually...
He is actually lying beside me!
And, he's now less than two inches away from me."
In the quilt, Catalina's intense heartbeat was especially noticeable.
In fact, it was just the beginning of spring. The temperature was still very low, and there was no heating
in the room. Therefore, Catalina should have felt very cold, but now, her forehead was perspiring.
She pressed her heart tightly with both hands, as if afraid it might jump out.
Catalina lay motionless under the quilt, not daring to move.
She was afraid of accidentally bumping into the man next to her. She was also afraid that he would do
something to her.
She silently counted the time in her heart, "One second...
Two seconds...
...
One minute...
Two minutes...
..."
Ten minutes later, Catalina was almost stiff.
During this time, Bennett, who was lying beside her, did not move either.
Catalina finally lost her patience.
The reason was that if she didn't get her head out, she might suffocate under the quilt.
As a result, Catalina slightly moved her head and secretly took a breath outside the quilt.
After that, she took a quiet glance at the man beside her from the corner of her eye.
Then she saw that he had fallen asleep.
Catalina was stunned for a moment.
She suddenly felt a little angry.
One reason was that he was too calm, which made her look like a fool.
The second reason was that he was calmer than she had expected.
Catalina couldn't help but think, "Anyway, I'm also a woman, am I not?
I can't believe that he is actually so calm when lying on such a tiny bed with me, as if he had no desire
at all. What does he mean?
Am I really not attractive at all to him?"
Catalina had an inexplicable sense of frustration.
She simply turned around in anger, wrapped the quilt around her, closed her eyes, and forced herself to
sleep.
Unexpectedly, a strong force suddenly came from behind, grabbing the quilt on her body and pulling it
backward.
Lying under the quilt, she was also drawn backward, and with a bang, she suddenly crashed into a
strong chest behind her.
Then a strong, long arm firmly wrapped her waist like a chain.
At that moment, Catalina's heart almost stopped beating.
His cheeks flushed instantly.
Behind her was Bennett's scalding chest, and her delicate body was deeply trapped by it. It was as if
some spell of immobility had been cast upon her, and she dared not move.
She did not even dare to breathe heavily.
Her heart couldn't help but beat faster and faster.
Catalina wanted to see Bennett's reaction.
After waiting in his arms for a long time, she finally braced herself to secretly look up at him.
Bennett's chin, covered with stubble, gently touched her hair. His eyes were closed, and his breathing
was steady, looking like he was already asleep.
Seeing that, Catalina thought, "He should have really fallen asleep.
If not, how would he hug me so intimately?"
Catalina did not withdraw from Bennett's arms, for the moment of intimacy seemed to her like a dream.
Every second was precious to her.
She nestled like a kitten in Bennett's arms and fell asleep.
The next moment, the man beside her slowly opened his eyes. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
He lowered his eyes and looked quietly at the girl in his arms.
She was very quiet, like an obedient little pet.
If it weren't for the fact that he had witnessed the absurd marriage four years ago, and that she had
kept her mouth shut about the man who had taken her virginity four years ago, Bennett wouldn't have
believed that Catalina, who looked like a lovely kitten, would be a cunning little fox.
Suddenly, some unknown emotions appeared in Bennett's deep eyes.
