Marriage Without Love: Sir, Please Stop novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114

Catalina held the materials she had prepared and methodically went through the questions.

The initial questions mainly focused on the company's development, including its response to previous economic sanctions and emergency plans.

Despite the complexity of the issues, he seemed at ease as he discussed them with Catalina, who listened attentively.

After half an hour, they had covered the company's prospects, and only a few personal questions remained. Catalina wasn't particularly eager to ask the last few questions, but the editor-in-chief had specifically instructed her to do so.

"Most of the remaining questions are about your personal life."

"Please go ahead!" Bennett showed unusual generosity.

"I promised you an interview, so I will fulfill that promise," he said calmly, lifting his chin and adjusting his shirt collar. "I'm here today to answer all of your questions."

Instead of making Catalina happy, Bennett's strange behavior left her feeling empty, like she'd lost something important to her.

In fact, he had been acting a little strangely over the previous few days, but she had chosen to overlook it deliberately.

He had been there for her during thunderstorms at night the other day. Even more so, he once accompanied her on an outing, photographed her during the day, and spent the night in the same cabin.

Bennett would not ordinarily go out of his way like this, especially for her. Yet he continued to do them.

It was the final act of tenderness she felt from him before they parted ways.

She didn't feel like "tenderness" accurately described their relationship.

"It's completely inappropriate to use that word to describe us. Bennett's feelings towards me... No! It's impossible!" Catalina was shocked by the thoughts that came into her mind.

She thought she was losing her mind when she started fantasizing about how Bennett might secretly admire her.

"What's on your mind?" Bennett asked, observing her lack of attention.

"Ah! Nothing!" Catalina jolted back to the present, bracing herself to collect her thoughts and feelings. She tucked her messy hair behind her ears and felt a warm flush at the base of her ear due to her audacious ideas. "So, let's proceed..."

"Go ahead."

"How soon do you intend to marry Claire Park?"

Bennett raised his eyes to her, who was sitting in the far corner of the table. "I'm already married," he replied.

Catalina dipped her head, and with a light hand, she wrote on the paper.

Then, with a mocking grin, she said, "I know we haven't gotten married, and that divorce application we filled out the last time was completely unnecessary. I happened to hear everything you said to Warren that day..."

He claimed they were never legally married, and he married her to prevent her from having a grand wedding.

Bennett added that he would give her back to Warren if that were what he wanted.

As Catalina recalled his words from that day, she felt slightly prickling in her nose.

She gave a light sniff and lifted her face, acting as if nothing had happened.

She smiled at him casually, as if she didn't care, and said, "Things are even better this way. After all, I don't want to be someone who has gone through a divorce. I still have to thank you. My grandmother's health wouldn't be where it is today without your generous offer of $1 million. I'll find a way to repay you that one million."

Catalina put on a calm exterior.

Bennett stared at her intensely, his amber-like eyes seeming to see into the depths of her heart but also possessing a certain magnetism that drew her in.

Catalina quickly averted her gaze as she was afraid to meet his gaze. She was worried he would see through her feelings and afraid of being drawn to him.

"How do you plan to repay the money?" "How do you plan to repay the money?" Bennett asked in a low and charming voice as if it were emanating from a cello.

He didn't provide any context for what had happened that day.
