Marriage Without Love: Sir, Please Stop novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20 Mrs. Shaffer Fell into the Water 

In Sophora Villa. 

On the antique bridge, Catalina leaned against the railing while holding the doll left by her mother in her arms. She was talking on the phone with her grandmother in the hospital. 

“Lina, did you fight with Aaron recently?” 

Her grandmother asked worriedly on the phone. 

Catalina was taken aback. 

She knew that her grandmother was scrupulous and sensitive, so these days, she had been asking her uncle and aunt to help hide her relationship with Aaron in order to avoid irritating her grandmother. 

“No, Grandma, we're good!” 

Catalina had to lie. 

She thought that it would not be too late for her to tell her grandmother when her condition stabilized. 

“Really?” 

Her grandmother obviously did not believe her. “It’s been several weeks since I had the operation and Aaron hasn’t come to see me. Every time you come over, you’re always alone. Lina, although I am old, I am still sane, so you can’t fool me.” 

“Grandma, how would I dare to fool you?” 

Catalina pretended to be calm. “I’m telling the truth. Aaron and I have been doing well! I just talked to Aaron just before I called you. He just happened to be busy with the company recently and was always going on business trips. So, that’s why he doesn’t have time to see you. QA:I'll tell him to come with me next time, okay?” 

“Alright, it’s good that you two are fine. I'm expecting you two have a baby soon! How’s it going, Lina? Are you pregnant yet?” 

For some reason, when her grandmother asked her that, the first thing that popped into Catalina’s mind was the accidental kiss she had with Bennett that day. Catalina blushed instantly. “Grandma, we just got married. How can we get a baby so quickly?” 

“Right. I am too impatient. I’m just worried that my body…” 

“Grandma, you’re starting to overthink again!” 

Catalina hastily interrupted her grandmother’s words. “Don’t think about it. I promise you that I will have a baby with Aaron as soon as possible.” 

Catalina could only comforted her grandmother. 

“That’s more like it.” 

After hearing the promise, her grandmother finally got eased. 

After hanging up the phone, Catalina let out a long sigh of relief. She looked at the doll in her arms and sighed again, “Mom, do you know how much I wish you were here? Grandma and I miss you so much.” 

If her mother was still with her, she would not have been kicked out of the family. 

If her stepmother did not embezzle her father’s money, maybe they would have the money for her grandmother’s surgery. 

That way, she would not have to sell herself to Bennett like a commodity. 

Then she and Aaron... 

Forget it! 

Aaron was not a good man either. 

After sighing, Catalina hugged the doll and prepared to leave. 

However, when she turned around… 

Thud! 

Her head smashed into a solid wall of flesh. 

“Ouch!” 

Catalina howled in pain and rubbed her forehead. 

"It hurts." 

She looked up at the person in front of her. 

She was stunned. 

Bennett? 

He was dressed in a black suit from head to toe. His face was gloomy and he looked like a devil from hell who came here to take her life. 

Catalina was startled, so she subconsciously grabbed the doll in her hand and took two hurried steps back. 

Gosh, who angered this devil again? 

Meanwhile, Bennett spotted Catalina subtly holding onto the doll and he automatically translated it as "caring". 

His eyes darkened and he felt that it was an eyesore. 

He thought to himself, "No wonder this girl takes this stupid doll with her everywhere she goes. It turns out Aaron gave this to her." 

Does she still want to have a baby with Aaron?
