Marriage Without Love: Sir, Please Stop
Chapter 40 He Has a Girlfriend

Chapter 40 He Has a Girlfriend

"I don't care to know."

"But I will say it too."

"You know that there has always been a woman in his mind!"

After hearing the words, Catalina's heart almost skipped a beat.

Of course she knew about it.

Catalina couldn't help turning around, looking at Darnell.

Darnell raised his eyebrows triumphantly, and said in a gloating tone: "But this woman is not you, because she is in England."

In England?

Catalina's sensitive heart was stabbed severely.

She remembered that when they got married, Bennett happened to go to England.

She thought he was on a business trip, but now it seems...

Maybe, it's not absolutely correct!

"What's the matter? Are you sad?"

Darnell didn't let go of any subtle expression on Catalina's face, he smiled, "It is the girl in England who should be sad. She is Ben's real girlfriend. But finally you are somehow ghost in the machine." Darnell looked up at Bennett on the screen, and continued: "Though he seems like a man of abstinence, he actually gave his first time to her when he was a teenager."

Catalina blinked and looked stupefied.

Teenager?

He was already twenty years old when she gave her first time to him.

So, the time four years ago was only Catalina's first time, not Bennett's.

Before that, he and that girl he liked had already...

Catalina could hardly bear the piercing pain on her heart.

However, one sentence of Darnell was already a blow to her.

"I thought about it that day, why Ben insisted on marrying you. And later, I figured it out."

Catalina tilted her head and stared at him blankly.

"First, he was probably arguing with his beloved woman at that time, so he tried to annoy her. Second..."

Darnell deliberately put off a trick, with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, "Of course he wants to torture you and abuse you, but it is absolutely impossible for him to like you. His girlfriend is so beautiful. If you want to compare with her, you will humiliate yourself!"

"Over?"

After staring at him coolly, Catalina stood up "squeaky" while keeping her composure. Then she turned her head and left.

Seeing the back of Catalina's leaving gracefully, Darnell frowned and squinted his eyes.

What happened? Her reaction was completely contrary to what he expected!

Darnell felt as if he pounded his fist on the cotton.

Shit!

***

Catalina was in a daze for the whole afternoon, and she didn't feel better until she went home.

"Mrs. Shaffer."

"Mrs. Shaffer?"

"Huh?"

Wendy yelled several times before Catalina recovered herself.

Wendy looked at her worriedly, and pointed to her hand Catalina was making tea, "The boiling water is overflowing from the cup, won't your hand be scalded by it?"

"Ah?"

Catalina realized belatedly.

"Hiss"

She gasped, put the cup down quickly, and touched her earlobe, "Hoo hoo, it's so hot."

"Come on, let me see, don't you get yourself scalded?"

Wendy came up to make a check.

Catalina shook her head, "It's okay. I'm not so delicate."

Wendy blew on Catalina's hand, "It's okay. Otherwise, Mr. Shaffer won't spare my life."

Hearing Wendy mention Bennett, Catalina's expression changed slightly.

She withdrew her hand and blew it herself. After hesitating for a few seconds, she asked casually, "Wendy, uh... did Bennett have a girlfriend before?"

Wendy hadn't expected Catalina would ask this question. She was stunned and asked carefully: "Mrs. Shaffer, why did you ask this suddenly?"

Wendy's attitude made Catalina's eyes darken instantly.

She got more certain on the authenticity of this matter.

Darnell did not lie to her.

"She's in England?"

Catalina took the cup of hot tea and held it in her hand.

She curled up on the sofa, staring blankly at the water vapor that kept rising.

Even though the heating in the room was turned on sufficiently, her hands and feet were still icy cold.

Cold

"Mrs. Shaffer, don't think too much."

Wendy didn't know how to comfort her.

"They have never broken up, have they?"

"I...I, I'm really not sure ..."

"So I'm probably the mistress between them."

Catalina came to a conclusion.

But soon, she laughed at herself again.

Mistress?

She might not deserve it at all.

After all, Bennett never loved her. His marrying her, at most, was humiliation and revenge. Moreover, he never thought of staying with her forever.

They would be separated sooner or later.

It was her. She almost forgot.

"Mrs. Shaffer, don't indulge in wild imaginations. Whether the woman in England is real or not, you are the legal wife of Mr. Shaffer and real hostess of Sophora Villa. How could you be the mistress? Right?" "The legal wife? The real hostess..."

Catalina chuckled and blew on the mist in front of her, "I don't care about these things."

To her, these were just traps to disturb her.

The ending was that she lost herself and was injured badly in the end.

It was like what happened four years ago.

"Rat-a-tat "

There was a respectful knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

Wendy asked.

"Mrs. Shaffer, it's me, Hailee."

Catalina's drooping eyelashes trembled.

He was the servant of the Lake Compound.

"Come in."

Hailee pushed the door open, "Mrs. Shaffer, Mr. Shaffer asked me to inform you that he is waiting for you in the restaurant now."

"Wait for me?" Catalina was puzzled, "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Shaffer asked you to make raviolis for him, he is hungry..."

Wendy was very happy to hear that, "Mrs. Shaffer, look, Mr. Shaffer just likes you very much. He had never eaten night snacks, and he doesn't like raviolis, even though they are made by Ralph. He just eats what you make for him."

Catalina naturally wouldn't take Wendy's words seriously.

Her first reaction was to reject Bennett's invitation, but she swallowed and changed her mind.

If she deliberately rejected, she would appear to be hypocritical.

Acting as if nothing had happened, Catalina followed Hailee and got out of the room.

Antechamber

When Catalina got in antechamber, Bennett was sitting in front of the fireplace, concentrating on a thick foreign language book.

"Mr. Shaffer, Mrs. Shaffer is here."

Hailee stepped forward and reported in a low voice.

Bennett only said "um" without raising his head, "You can leave."

"Yes."

Hailee retreated.

Catalina went into the kitchen by herself.

She skillfully tied up the apron and began to prepare the minced meat.

All the ingredients had already prepared for her by head chefs before she came.

There was no doubt that these were all the finest and most luxurious ingredients in the world.

Even a small piece of meat may be one year's salary of Catalina.

Catalina chopped the meat carefully, not daring to be sloppy.

"Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka"

The kitchen knife chopped on the chopping board, making a noisy, harsh sound.

She chopped quite hard, but she didn't have enough strength in her hand, and she died in less than half a minute.

She changed the other hand.

Her wrist was a little tired.

Bennett sat in the living room, observing from afar.

The noise from the cutting board made him frown.

Until, he couldn't stand it anymore finally.

He put down the book, got up, and went straight to the kitchen.
