Chapter 127
Catalina wanted to change her mind and dig up her memories, but ultimately, she held back.
Once a decision was made, there was no room for regret.
However, Catalina didn't know that when one tries to forget a memory, they remember it even more
clearly.
When one truly forgets someone, he or she may suddenly think of that person at some point.

Catalina stayed in Seraphic Mansion for half a month.
During this period, Warren showed no signs of waking up.
Wesley Shaffer, Warren's father, came twice, and Darnell also came often.
When Darnell came, he never treated Catalina friendly. He used to talk to her, but now when he saw
her, he didn't even greet her, treating her like a stranger.
And Bennett?
He went to Gilburgh and still didn't return.
Moreover, there was no news of him.
Even Emery couldn't find out any information about him.
He seemed to have suddenly disappeared from this world.
Until Emery couldn't help and started to make a fuss with Catalina, "Lina, did Bennett come back from
Gilburgh? Why was there no news about him online now?"
"I don't know."
Catalina's attitude was cold and indifferent.
She buried her head and focused on writing.
"Why do you have such an attitude? He is your husband after all. Don't you care at all?"
Catalina's writing paused slightly.
"Or did you two fight again? But aren't you living well in Sophora Villa now?"
"..."
Catalina's hand holding the pen tightened.
"What's going on?"
Emery wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Catalina couldn't hide it any more and pretended to be calm, "Now I am his sister-in-law. I don't live in
his Sophora Villa any more, but in his brother's Seraphic Mansion."
"What?!"
Emery exclaimed, her eyes widened, and her jaw almost dislocated, "You... you are Bennett's sister-in-
law now? Did you marry his brother? Are you crazy? What kind of messy relationship is this? No, you
are amazing. Both men in the Shaffer family are interested in you? Lina, let me see what extraordinary
abilities you have. This is too incredible. Can you teach me?"
Emery turned Catalina around to face her.
Catalina felt helpless, "Emery, stop making a fuss..."
"It's not me making a fuss but you. Lina, what are you up to? Did you really marry his brother?"
"...We are engaged."
Catalina answered weakly.
"..."
Emery was so shocked that she couldn't say a word.
After a long while, she gave Catalina a thumbs up, "Really, you are the most amazing woman I have
ever met. Your life was completely a legend."
"You think I want to? Forget it. Let's not talk about it and focus on work."
"You don't want to?"
"If you were me, would you want to?"
"Do you think I have the luck for that?"
"..."
Catalina sighed.
Talking about these things made her eyes involuntarily wet.
Catalina sniffed, "Anyway, from now on, don't mention anything about Bennett in front of me. I don't
want to know and I don't care..."
Emery glanced at her and couldn't help but mutter, "If you really don't care, why won't you let me
mention it? The more you say I can't mention him, the more it shows that you care."
Emery hit the nail on the head.
Catalina's eyes became even redder.
So what if she cared?
Did caring bring her out of the current situation? Did caring mean she could have him?
Besides, she had long planned to forget him completely.
"I don't care in any case, and you are not allowed to mention him any more."
Catalina warned.
"But Bennett really disappeared after going to Gilburgh. Don't you..."novelbin
"Emery, if you mention him again, I will break up with you."
"Okay. I won't mention him again. Never. Don't be sad, come, and have some candy..."
As Emery spoke, she grabbed the box of apple candies next to Catalina and wanted to feed her one.
But Catalina snatched the candy box back and threw it directly into the trash can, saying, "Don't eat
sweets any more."
"Why?"
"The teeth will decay."
"..."
Then half a month passed.
Bennett still hadn't returned.
Some day Catalina unintentionally learned about it from Wendy.
That day, Catalina finished work and returned to Seraphic Mansion.
Unexpectedly, while walking on the road, she ran into Wendy who was about to go out for shopping.
"Mrs. Shaffer."
When Wendy saw her, she was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly ran up to greet her.
"Wendy..."
Catalina quickly stopped and smiled embarrassedly. "Don't call me that any more. Just call me by my
name."
"I dare not."
Wendy said, glancing at Catalina, and cautiously asked in a low voice, "Miss, are you Mrs. Shaffer in
Seraphic Mansion now?"
Catalina's expression stiffened. "Let's not talk about that."
Wendy sighed. "I think you've changed."
"Huh?"
"You seem unhappy now, even when you smile, there's a hint of sadness."
"You're talking nonsense."
Catalina rubbed Wendy's head. "Don't overthink things. I'm fine."
But in reality, Wendy's words had touched Catalina's emotion, making her heart ache.
Wendy forced a smile. "Ever since you left, Sophora Villa has become increasingly boring. Now it's
even eerily quiet..."
"Don't you have something to do? Go on then."
Catalina didn't want to hear about Sophora Villa.
She subconsciously wanted to avoid it.
But Wendy seemed like she couldn't understand at all and continued earnestly, "Miss, you don't know
that Mr. Shaffer has come back to Gilburgh?"
Back?
What did that mean?
Catalina looked at Wendy in confusion.
"Ralph also went back to Gilburgh last week and who knows when he will return. Judging by the
situation, it could be a few years or maybe he won't return at all."
"Not coming back?"
This completely caught Catalina by surprise.
Her heart tightened involuntarily.
"Yeah. Mr. Shaffer has been living in Gilburgh for a long time. Most of Shaffer Group's industries are in
Gilburgh, with only a small portion in the country. Now that even Ralph has gone there, it's possible that
they don't plan to return in the short term. But it's strange, even Ralph has suddenly disappeared
recently..."
"Ralph has disappeared?"
"Yeah. It's the first time something like this has happened. I'm really worried if something happened to
them in Gilburgh..."
"Wendy, don't overthink things. There's no way Bennett would have trouble without any reason."
"That's true. Mr. Shaffer is so capable and nothing can happen to him."
"Yeah."
"Okay, Miss, I'll go now. We can chat more another day."
"Okay, bye..."
Catalina waved her hand and saw Wendy off.
