Marriage Without Love: Sir, Please Stop

Chapter 121

Bennett tasted the tea in his cup.

He frowned.

It's getting cold.

He put down the cup.

"Ben."

Darnell came over and drank the other cup of cold tea by Bennett's hand in one gulp.

He sat down on the bamboo chair, looked at his uncle and aunt who were welcoming guests at the

door, and frowned, "What does aunt mean by this? Could she be so eager to get Warren married?

Don't tell me she's afraid that he still wouldn't let go of Catalina when he wakes up?"

Looking gloomy, Bennett compressed his lips and said nothing.

He just lowered his head and made tea.

Yet Darnell was still talking, "Aunt could even come out of that Buddhist hall and host the wedding

banquet in person on such a formal cheongsam. She really cares a lot about this wedding!"

Bennett glanced at his mother at the entrance of the banquet hall and said "Yes", approving Darnell's

analysis.

"Ben, do you know who the heroine is today?"

"I don't know."

"Even you don't know?"

"Even I don't know."

Darnell opened his mouth in shock, "What! what is auntie playing at? Why is she keeping it a secret

even from you!"

Bennett didn't answer. His attention was all on the tea in his hand.

To be honest, he has no interest or concern for today's heroine, as long as it is not a certain girl.

But if it's really that girl...

Impossible!

Bennett forcibly cut off his thoughts.

After the incident four years ago, it is impossible for her mother to let Catalina marry into the Shaffer

family.

"Ben, aren't you curious about what kind of wife aunt chose for Warren?"

Darnell asked Bennett, leaning on the tea table.

Bennett glanced at him coldly, "I'm not in the habit of wondering about my sister-in-law."

"...ough ough ough ough!" Darnell coughed.

Why does it feel like a sore spot of Ben is touched by him?

Of course, Darnell wouldn't dare to say this even if he had nine lives.

"Ben, I know I'm playful most of the time, but I have a bottom line. I dare not covet my sister-in-law. I

am just curious about who our future sister-in-law is. She must be excellent enough to be recognized

by aunt? Right?"

It is well known that Carolyn has strict conditions for selecting the daughter-in-law.

Take Claire Park as an example!

She's from a prestigious family and also a popular movie star herself, yet for Carolyn, those mean

nothing.

To match her son, there won't be any chance even in the next life.

"But it's quite strange..."

Darnell suddenly thought of something and rubbed his chin, "Ben, aunt has always had very high

standards, especially when it comes to picking the daughter-in-law, she could be unbelievably strict.

But how could such a person acknowledge Catalina back then, a humble little maid? Don't you think it's

strange?"

Bennett frowned.

He didn't want to talk about what happened four years ago.

"Even if it's for the purpose of counteracting bad luck with a joyous wedding, she could always choose

other people! There were thousands or at least hundreds of households who offered to marry their

daughters, right? Could it be that no one was better than Catalina?"

Bennett poured himself a cup of hot tea.

He picked it up and blew it, took a sip, and replied softly: "Catalina was personally chosen by Warren. I

was there at the time."

"That I know. I just wonder why did aunt agree? Was it because she couldn't bear to embarrass Warren

as he's seriously ill? But since when did aunt become such a considerate person?" Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Darnell, don't you afraid that some day your aunt knows about you saying these behind her back? Be

careful of what she would do then."

"..."

Darnell was so frightened that he looked left and right.

After making sure that there was no one else around, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Ben, don't scare me,

don't you know that my aunt is the one I fear the most in my life?"

Eyebrows raised, Bennett said nothing but sipped the thick tea in his cup lightly.

In fact, what Darnell just said was already thought about by Bennett as early as four years ago.

But apart from the reason of 'sympathy for the seriously ill Warren', Bennett really couldn't think of any

other reason.

Darnell rested his chin on his hands and signed: "I have to say, aunt's trick of acting first and reporting

later is well played. When Warren wakes up, what is done cannot be undone, and this is the way to go

for the rest of his life! After all, they are all pawns in the hands of aunt. The purpose is only to

strengthen the Shaffer family."

Bennett put down the teacup in his hand and stared at the steaming thick tea in the pot, "This is the

fate of all Shaffer family members."

No one can escape.

While the two brothers were chatting with each other on the stands, suddenly, they heard a respectful

shout from the master of ceremonies at the entrance of the banquet hall, "Please welcome Mrs.

Shaffer..."

The master of ceremonies' words made all audience quiet down tacitly.

Everyone waited with bated breath.

The lights were dimmed, and a bunch of white spotlights landed on the gilt gate of the banquet hall.

"Squeak-"

The heavy door was pushed open by two servants on the left and right.

Dressed in a white and holy long gauze dress, an elegant and dignified figure appeared at the entrance

of the banquet hall.

Lights were dimmed, and the spotlights flickered throughout the venue.

The bride-to-be stood in the darkness with a transparent white veil on her face, looking sacred and

mysterious.

No one could see the heroine's face clearly.

Everyone looked forward to it.

On the second floor, Bennett's piercing gaze fell on the slim white figure like a blade.

Even though all the lights in the venue were dimmed and he couldn't see the woman's facial features

clearly from a distance, he could tell that it was Catalina at a glance even if she turned into ashes!

"Here she comes! Our new sister-in-law is here!"

Darnell hasn't recognized Catalina yet, and was extremely excited.

The follow spot light landed on Catalina with a a sound of "pop--".

She stood there, like an fairy, stunning the audience.

But when the audience saw her face clearly, they were in an uproar.

It was her! !

That shameless woman who betrayed Warren four years ago!

She actually returned to the Shaffer family again.

What a woman!

"B...Ben, that woman..."

Darnell was so startled that he couldn't speak clearly. He pointed to Catalina downstairs, "Ben, it's that

girl Catalina! Damn it! What play is this?"

Darnell was dumbfounded.

This play is really, never expected!

In an instant, Bennett's cold deep eyes were quenched with a layer of freezing ice.

Even the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped, as if it's midwinter.

Darnell looked at Bennett beside him in fear, and was too frightened to say another word for a while.

Greeted by everyone's sighs, Catalina stepped on the red carpet made of rose petals, and walked in

slowly.

Such a grand engagement banquet is probably what all women in the world want to have, right?

But to her, it's all a burden!

It was difficult for her to even put on a smile.

Above her head, a pair of cold eyes stared straight at her.

Even if Catalina didn't look up, she could feel deeply that it was him.
