Chapter 56 Bennett Is Considerate

The next morning.

Bennett was roused by a clear laugh.

He got up, changed his clothes, and went out.

Outside the door, the golden morning light shone in, making the entire living room particularly bright.

Since Bennett had just woken up, he couldn't adapt to the strong light outside and subconsciously blocked it out with his hand. After a few seconds, he slowly moved his hand away.

Within his sight, a girl, barefoot and with her pant legs rolled up, was treading on the sheets soaking in a large wooden basin. White foam hopped around her fair feet, making her ten toes more crystal and delicate.

Catalina was basking in the golden sunlight, and her laughter rang out clearly.

For a moment, Bennett thought he was still in a dream.

"Good morning, Bennett."

Maggie's voice suddenly rang out beside him.

Bennett slowly came back to his senses and nodded politely to Maggie. "Good morning, Grandma."

At the door, Catalina, who was helping Keira wash the quilt, subconsciously turned around at the sound to take a look.

She happened to meet Bennett's deep amber eyes. She panicked and thought of last night when they had hugged and slept together. Her face flushed, and she immediately turned her head back. For a moment, she felt very shy.

Her heart was beating wildly.

"Let's go to breakfast, Bennett."

Maggie asked Bennett to sit down at the table. "Knowing that you're here, I specially made some ravioli for you!"

"Thank you, Grandma."

Bennett quickly thanked her.

His eyes, however, would always stray to the lively figure in the sunlight.

It was as if her laughter had an inexplicable infectious force that even his cold heart was sprinkled with sunlight at the moment.

He felt warm and comfortable.

Just as he was lost in thought, suddenly, Bennett caught a glimpse of a small blood stain on Catalina's light-colored pants. He frowned.

Then he suddenly felt slightly unwell.

Bennett stood up, took off his windbreaker, and strode out.

While Catalina was still treading merrily on the sheets, she suddenly felt a heavy weight on her shoulders and then was tightly wrapped in a thick men's windbreaker.

Catalina was stunned.

She looked dazedly at Bennett and blinked in bewilderment. "I'm not cold..."

She thought Bennett was afraid that she might catch a cold.

With a black face, Bennett pinched his eyebrows and said, "You're on your period."

"What?"

Catalina quickly lifted the windbreaker and turned to look at her pants.

Then she realized that Bennett was right.

She felt very embarrassed.

The reason was that she didn't even feel it at all.

"As a woman, can't you even remember your own period?"

Catalina said, "...Who knows that it'll come in advance?"

After taking a glance at Bennett, who was not looking well, Catalina felt a little guilty and said, "Are you okay?"

She knew that he had always been afraid of seeing blood.

Therefore, she would be very guilty if he passed out because of her menstrual blood.

Bennett didn't answer her question but said, "I'm going out for a while."

After saying that, he left her there and strode out of the door.

"Hey! Where are you going?"

Catalina came out of the wooden basin and craned her neck to shout, "You haven't had your ravioli yet!"

"To get some fresh air."

With that, he left.

Catalina was a bit embarrassed and a bit guilty.

She thought, "Obviously, he was really scared by the blood on my pants.

Will he hate me even more in the future?"

Thinking of this, Catalina couldn't help feeling a bit frustrated.

After coming out of Maggie's house with the excuse of getting some fresh air, Bennett found the nearest grocery store and walked straight in.

He quickly found Catalina's favorite brand of sanitary pads on the sparsely stocked shelves and then went to the counter to pay his bill.

He had not often bought pads for Catalina before, but this was not the first time he had done so.

When he pulled out a few banknotes from his wallet and was about to pay, Bennett caught a glimpse of a row of various candies lying on the counter.

Bennett was stunned for a moment. Then he unconsciously picked out a box of apple-flavored candy, placed it on the counter as well, and asked the store lady, "Excuse me, how much are they?"

The store lady looked at Bennett with a puzzled and slightly admiring gaze. "You are Lina's classmate, right? The one who often came to our village to look for her when she was a child."

"Yes."

Bennett did not deny it.

"Wow! You're a big man now."

The store lady looked at Bennett with sparkling eyes. "I always thought you were good-looking when you were only a kid. I didn't expect you to be even more handsome when you grow up!" "Thank you."

In the face of praise, Bennett remained calm.

After all, he had often been praised like this.

"Are you now Lina's boyfriend? Well, she's a lucky girl."

As she spoke, the store lady took out a black plastic bag and packed the pads and the box of candy Bennett had bought inside. "It's now really hard to find such a handsome and considerate boyfriend as you!"

"Husband."

Bennett calmly corrected her and handed her a banknote.

"Husband? Are you and Lina married?"

The store lady took the banknote and gave him the changes. "I didn't hear that from the Duffy family. You haven't held the wedding yet, right?"

"Sooner or later."

"Well, congratulations then!"

"Thank you."

Bennett walked out of the grocery store with the plastic bag.

Meanwhile, he thought, "It's incredible that I was actually chatting with someone just now.

She's even a completely unknown stranger."

When Bennett returned to Maggie's house, Catalina was just about to go out to buy pads. When she walked to the door, Bennett stuffed a soft black plastic bag into her arms.

"What is it?"

Catalina was surprised.

When she opened it, she saw a pack of sanitary pads.

She looked back at Bennett in consternation.

Bennett was already seated at the table again.

He looked as if nothing had happened just now.

Catalina, holding the pack of pads, was stunned for a long time.

She thought, "So, he had actually gone out to buy me the sanitary pads just now?"

Bennett didn't even look at her, but he seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. "Don't think too much. I just bought it by the way."

Catalina was speechless for a moment.

She thought, "Fine.

I knew it. Bennett would not go buy such things for me specially."

Although she thought so, Catalina still said, "Anyway, thank you, even if you just bought it by the way."

Having said this, she hurried into the bathroom, carrying the pack of pads in her arms.

The door was only closed for a few seconds, and then Catalina opened it and said, "What about the box of candy inside? Did you also buy it by the way?"

Bennett did not even look up. "The store lady didn't have any changes, so she gave it to me for free."

Catalina hadn't expected to hear that.

She rolled her eyes and said in her heart, "Fine!

I have nothing to say."

Catalina withdrew her head in embarrassment.

Catalina stared for a moment at the pack of sanitary pads and the box of her favorite apple candy in her arms. Although she knew he hadn't done it for her specially, she was still touched. Suddenly, she remembered that when her period first came, it was also Bennett who had gone to buy her pads.

She was fourteen that year.

Due to malnutrition, she developed more slowly than normal teenagers.

When she saw blood on her pants for the first time, which happened to be after school, Catalina ran out of the bathroom crying loudly. Her first reaction was to go find Bennett.

At the same time, Bennett was playing basketball with others on the basketball court. When he saw her crying out of breath, he was so frightened that he immediately threw away the basketball in his hand. Regardless of the complaints of his teammates, he ran towards Catalina.
