Chapter 54 Sleeping in the Same Room

Chapter 54 Sleeping in the Same Room

He stood in front of Catalina, tall and strong, looking very imposing.

Under the misty smoke, he frowned, as if unhappy. "Why are you so slow? Are you a turtle?"

Catalina raised her neck and looked at him blankly.

The next moment, as if a magic spell had been cast upon her, she turned aside obediently to make way

for him.

Bennett lowered his head slightly and strode in.

He was so tall that he made the house cramped.

He looked out of place in the old house with his tall figure.

"Ashtray."

He turned around and said to Catalina.

Catalina finally came back to her senses.

She looked around the living room like a headless chicken, but she couldn't find an ashtray.

In the end, she could only come to Bennett with a trash can and say, "Throw it in here!"

Bennett glanced at her and threw the cigarette butt into the trash can. He then casually picked up a

half-glass of water from the table and poured it over the butt to extinguish the spark.

Watching him do so, Catalina was a bit stunned.

She asked dazedly, "Why are you here?"

Bennett put down the water glass and said, "Can you put down the trash can before you talk to me?"

"Okay!"

Catalina finally reacted.

She thought, "Fine. I know, Mr. Shaffer has a serious obsession with cleanliness."

Catalina quickly put the trash can back in place.

Then she heard Bennett say behind her, "I'm here for the ravioli."

He said it very justly.

While speaking, he looked around and surveyed the entire house.

Catalina secretly observed his subtle expression.

There was no frown or disgust on his face.

That was rare.

"When will it be cooked?" Bennett asked again.

"What?"

Catalina was surprised. "You don't want to eat it now, do you? Do you know what time it is now?"

While speaking, Catalina looked back at the wall clock.

It was past twelve o'clock.

She thought Bennett was really a troublesome man.

"Lina, is your brother back?"

While the two of them were chatting, suddenly, the door of the opposite room was pulled open from

inside, and Keira walked out with a drowsy look.

Catalina quickly replied in a soft voice, "No, it's...it's Bennett..."

Catalina was a little embarrassed.

"Good evening, Keira."

Seeing Keira, Bennett quickly nodded politely to greet her.

Keira didn't expect it to be Bennett. She was first stunned, then overjoyed. "Bennett!"

She was instantly awake and walked out while tidying her messy hair. "Why are you so late? Could it

be that you've just finished your work?"

"Yes."

Bennett nodded.

He was very polite and well-behaved, completely different from his usual aloof and arrogant attitude.

It was really rare.

Standing aside and watching, Catalina felt a little funny yet inexplicably warm.

"Well, you young people are really hard-working. Making money is important, but you still have to pay

attention to your health. Are you sleeping here tonight?"

Hearing this, Catalina shouted in her heart, "What?

Sleeping here?"

Catalina finally realized the problem.

She suddenly looked up at Bennett.

Bennett also lowered his head and glanced at her.

Their eyes met, and Catalina heard Bennett respond with one word, "Yes."

Catalina was stunned.

She couldn't help but complain in her heart, "What is he talking about?

There's no room for him to sleep here!"

"Okay, just sleep in Lina's room then. Speaking of this, you often came here when you were a child, but Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

it's the first time you've come to stay overnight!"

"Yes."

Bennett again responded with a single word.

Hearing this, Catalina was angry and embarrassed.

Her face turned red, and she reached out to secretly tug at Bennett's sleeve. "Well...Aren't you unable

to fall asleep in anyone else's bed?"

In fact, she was lying.

Her implication was to ask Bennett to echo her.

Unexpectedly, Bennett only lowered his head and looked straight at her small hand tugging at his

sleeve. He pursed his thin lips and did not speak.

Some unknown emotions appeared in his deep amber eyes.

This subtle movement was completely captured by Keira.

She didn't think much of it, just taking it as an intimate act between them.

Catalina didn't expect Bennett to ignore her implication and quickly said again, "Aren't you unable to fall

asleep outside?"

As she spoke, she winked at Bennett.

However, to her surprise, Bennett completely ignored it again and replied simply, "I have to get used to

it anyway."

Hearing this, Keira was very happy. "Bennett's right. Lina, you are married to Bennett, so this is his

home, too. You two will come back and stay here from time to time in the future, so you must get used

to it.'"

Catalina stared at Bennett in a daze, but her heart was rippling with his simple words.

She thought in confusion, "What's he doing?

It is clear that he does not have to stay here tonight, but why does he insist on staying?

Moreover, the most important thing is that if he stays here tonight, he must share the same room and

bed with me...

What is he thinking?"

"Bennett, did you bring any clothes for change? If not, do you mind wearing your brother's?"

"Thank you, Keira."

Catalina was stunned.

She thought in great shock, "Did he just agree? How is that possible?

He is a severe cleanliness addict!

How would he wear clothes worn by others?"

"Okay, I'll go get some clothes for you right now."

As Keira spoke, she turned and went to Catalina's cousin, Zavier's room.

Seeing that, Catalina quickly dragged Bennett into her room.

Meanwhile, she didn't forget to close the door.

"What are you doing?"

Bennett put one hand into his pocket and looked down at Catalina, who looked stealthy.

He resumed his overbearing attitude.

Catalina suspected that he was asking knowingly.

She lowered her voice and said, "Why did you agree to stay here tonight? If you insist on not changing

your mind, we'll have to sleep in the same room tonight. Otherwise, my grandmother will definitely be

suspicious."

Catalina didn't know whether Bennett was listening to her.

He looked around her tiny bed, which was less than 5 feet wide. Then he took a piece of tissue from

the tissue box at the head of the bed and wiped it on the edge of it.

There was no dust.

He satisfactorily threw the tissue into the trash can and then pressed the mattress with his hand to

assess its softness. After that, he sat down upright at the end of the bed with his arms crossed in front

of his chest. "It's small, but it's barely enough for me to sleep."

Catalina had not expected to hear that.

She thought, "So, everything he did just now was to check whether the bed is okay enough for him to

sleep tonight?"

Catalina was speechless. She stepped forward and asked, "Are you really going to stay here tonight?"

"I'm tired."

Catalina didn't speak.

She thought, "Well, I do see the fatigue in his eyes, but..."

After a moment of hesitation, Catalina asked, "If you insist on staying here tonight, then how do we

sleep?"

As she spoke, Catalina's face flushed.

"I'll sleep in bed, and I don't care where you sleep."

Catalina was speechless again.

She was greatly irritated by his words.

She was so angry that she really wanted to scold Bennett.

Just as she was on the point of losing her temper, suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Then Keira

walked in from outside, holding a men's nightgown. "Bennett, did I disturb you two?"
