Chapter 16 Consoling Her with Candies
The girl blushed and bravely told him that she loved him.
"I have fallen in love with someone else."
Surprisingly, Bennett rejected her without hesitation.
Catalina, who was hiding behind the tree and wiping her tears, was slightly stunned.
It was impossible that she had no clue about who Bennett liked because she followed him all day.
Hearing Bennett's words, the girl's eyes became dim and tears rolled down her cheeks. She said, "It's
okay. I just want you to know my heart."
As she spoke, the girl put the love letter and several fruit candies into his hand.
Then the girl buried her face in her hands and ran away while weeping.
Catalina thought that Bennett would leave with the girl.
She hid behind a tree and didn’t dare to make a sound.
She prayed in her heart that he would not catch her eavesdropping, but suddenly, the boy leaning on
the tree trunk asked, "Crybaby, are you beaten again?"
...
It turned out that he had spotted her early.
Hearing Bennett’s question, Catalina crumpled her mouth and burst into tears.
Bennett frowned slightly, stretched out his hand, and said, "Pick one."
"What?"
"Candies."
"Why?"
In tears, Catalina looked up at him naively.
Bennett was not very patient.
He frowned tightly and said to her impatiently, "Candies can make you feel better. Eat it quickly and
stop crying."
"..."
"I'm upset when I see you cry."
In order not to annoy him, Catalina wiped away the tears on her face quickly and said, "These candies
are from the girl who likes you. Should I eat them?"
"Then I'll just throw them away."
Bennett was about to throw the handful of candies into the trash can.
"Wait!"
Catalina stopped him immediately.
Bennett stretched out the hand holding candies to her again.
Catalina picked out a green apple candy, carefully tore the wrapper open, and put it into her mouth.
She didn't forget to say, "Thank you."
As he said, it was true that candy could cheer her up.
At that moment, Catalina felt that the bruises on her body didn't seem to hurt so much.
Somehow she was in a better mood.
"It tastes sour and sweet. It’s really tasty. Would you try one, too?" Catalina asked him.
"No."
Bennett refused immediately.
After saying that, he threw the remaining candies in his hand directly into the trash can.
He also threw away the love letter which was given to him by that girl.
Catalina was shocked and said, "You haven't read that letter yet!"
"Why should I?"
Bennett frowned and replied discontentedly.
"But maybe the letter is about her feelings for you."
"Not interested."
"..."
Well! This was very typical of him.
While eating the candy in her mouth, Catalina said with sadness in her eyes, "That's right. You already
meet the girl you like, so surely you are not interested in other girls..."
Therefore, he wouldn’t care about her feelings for him, either.
Bennett looked at Catalina's rosy cheeks, felt a little shy, and turned his head away quickly. He kicked
away a pebble at his feet and muttered, "I will never think about such a dummy girl all the time!"
"Well..."
She wondered who the girl he talked about was.
It must be the girl in his dream today!
From that day on, Catalina knew that there was a good girl in Bennett's heart.
It was also from that day on that Catalina started to love eating apples candies.
On that day, she also knew the name of the girl who gave Bennett a love letter and candies. Her name
was Claire.
Many years later, they became best friends, and they always stuck together until Claire went to study in
Gilburgh.
"Mrs. Shaffer, are you thirsty?"
Wendy had walked into the room.
Her words brought Catalina back to reality.
"What?"
Catalina stopped recalling old memories.
"I see you keep drinking water."
"Well, yes. I’m a little thirsty."
Catalina put down the cup in embarrassment.
"Mrs. Shaffer, why do you blush?"
"Do I?"
Catalina touched her face with her hand and tried to explain, "It's...probably because I feel too hot! The
heater in the room is set too high."
"What's wrong with your mouth? Why does it look a little swollen?"
Wendy asked deliberately, with a teasing smile on her face.
Catalina gave her an annoyed look, got back into the warm quilt again, and said with her head buried in
the quilt, "I'll sleep for a while. Don't wake me up before eight o'clock."
"OK, have a good rest. I won’t let anyone bother you again before eight o'clock."
Wendy went out quietly and closed the door behind her.
...
Before Bennett walked out of Sophora Villa, Vincent handed him the phone respectfully and said, "Mr.
Shaffer, it’s from Mr. Wyatt."
Bennett took the phone over.
He heard the cry of Darnell from the other end of the phone.
"Ben, help me! My father is going to kill me!"
"Gosh! Old man, don't be impulsive. It will kill me if you beat me with that whip! Ouch!"
"Ah, it hurts! It hurts! Ben!" novelbin
Darnell kept screaming painfully.
Bennett hung up the phone without saying a word, with an indifferent expression on his face.
After thinking for a moment, he ordered, "Go to Poplar Villa."
"Yes!"
When Bennett arrived, it was already a mess in Poplar Villa.
"Brian, stop! Do you really want to beat our son to death, Brian Wyatt?"
Abbey Shaffer, who was Darnell's mother and also Bennett's aunt wiped her eyes while dissuading her
husband from whipping their son.
Brian was an honest and upright veteran who used to be the right-hand man of Drake back then.
It was impossible that such an upright senior cadre could tolerate his son being an infamous playboy.
"How could I, Brian Wyatt, raise such a bastard son like you?"
Brian pushed his wife away, raised his hand, and whipped Darnell's back.
"Ouch!"
Darnell screamed in pain, but he was held up by two of Brian's men. He was pressed to the chair with
his face down and his back up. He couldn’t move at all.
Mr. Wyatt had never been treated like this before.
Bennett stepped into the house calmly.
He asked as he walked, "Abbey, Brain, what did Darnell do that makes you so angry early in the
morning?"
"Ben..."
Darnell was so excited that he was about to cry when he saw Bennett.
Abbey also looked at him as if he was the life savior and said, "Ben, please help me persuade Brian to
stop beating his son, otherwise he would kill his son!"
"Ben, my dad is going to beat me to death! Help me please..."
Darnell yelled with his face buried in the chair cushion.
