Chapter 154

She leaned listlessly on the table and asked Catalina, "What is it that makes you so happy?"

"Nothing! Just... Bennett asked me to go home for dinner. He hasn't been home for three days. I don't

know what he's busy with."

Emery looked at Catalina with an envious face, "It's really good to be in love! I can see sweetness in

your eyes."

"What are you doing?"

Catalina smiled and nudged her, "What's wrong with you? You looked downhearted. Who upset you?"

Emery pouted, "Who else can it be?"

"Warren."

Catalina didn't say anything.

"Well, he didn't upset me, but... I texted him, but he didn't reply to me. I called him, but he didn't answer

me. Lina, does it mean that he thinks that I am so annoying? But we still got on well the last time I wasnovelbin

at his house, and he even took the initiative to help me apply the medicine. However, as soon as I

came back, he ignored me."

"It..."

Catalina really did not know how to comfort her.

She had experienced this kind of feeling while being in a lukewarm relationship with someone, so she

naturally knew how much it hurt her.

"Well, forget it. Just forget it! It's okay if he doesn't reply! Who is Mr. Warren? And who am I? Why

should he answer my phone calls and reply to my messages? It's I who flatter myself! Alright, alright, I

won't think about it. Anyway, it will still be an impossible thing though I think about it."

Emery always comforted herself.

After saying that, she quickly straightened her head and began to work seriously.

It was like nothing happened just now.

Catalina looked at her worriedly.

Somehow, she suddenly had a sense that Emery would immerse herself deeper and deeper in this

relationship, and it was even possible that it would break her in the end.

After all, it was really difficult to win his heart.

Besides, even if she won his heart, it might not necessarily be a good thing.

After work, Catalina immediately took a taxi back home.

Before, she always took the bus. However, she missed Bennett so much as she hadn't seen him for a

few days. At this moment, she just couldn't wait to go home.

When the car went halfway, she somehow suddenly wanted to throw up.

Catalina hastily covered her mouth and said, "Mister, I'm sorry. Please pull over for a while, because I

suddenly get carsick."

Seeing this, the taxi driver hurriedly pulled the car over.

Catalina pushed the door open and got out of the car. She rushed to the trash can and started to retch.

It was strange since she never got carsick or seasick, and most of the time, she could even play with

her cell phone in the car. But somehow, her stomach was churning at this moment as if her viscera had

been turned upside down inside her body.

"Girl, are you feeling better?"

The taxi driver asked Catalina with concern.

Catalina nodded and said, "Much better."

After vomiting, she felt much better in her stomach.

She turned back and staggered, intending to go back to the taxi.

However, with a rasping sound, a black luxury car zoomed over and stopped in front of the cab

unexpectedly.

The next second, the car door was open, and several men, wearing black clothes, black masks, and

black sunglasses, quickly rushed down from the car. Before Catalina could react, she was being held

up and pushed into the car.

"What are you doing?"

"Help!"

"Help. Mm, Mm. "

Catalina had only shouted a few times when her mouth was covered by a square scarf.

The next second, she passed out.

And that taxi driver couldn't come back to his senses for a long time with this sudden scene in front of

him.

When he came back to his senses, Guan Jun had already been kidnapped, and the car had already

disappeared in the traffic.

"Kidnapping... Kidnapping..."

His voice was a little shaky.

He hurriedly took his phone and was about to call the police.

But just after he pressed the '1' button, he was afraid and quickly threw the cell phone away.

He was wondering if that gang of thugs would retaliate against him if they knew that it was he who

called the police as they had seen his face and had known the number of his plate.

"As the saying goes, every man should be for himself, or he will be punished. I... I still have a family, so,

girl, I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

The taxi driver chattered shakily, and then he quickly drove his car away in fear.

He just prayed that the gang of kidnappers would not find him.

Bennett was at home and was learning how to cook from Ralph with patience.

Watching him cook at the side in fear, Ralph said, "Bennett, you'd better take a rest. As long as you

have the intention to do so, it will be good enough and Mrs. Shaffer will definitely be able to feel your

sincerity. Oh, oh! It's on fire again. It's on fire. Quickly. Get out of the way. Be careful with your hair..."

Bennett did not expect the fire to reach the top of his head all of a sudden as he put the ingredients into

the pot, and it almost set his hair on fire.

He was so scared that he hurriedly withdrew a few steps.

Ralph picked up the lid of the pot and rushed forward, putting out the fire very skillfully.

Bennett then realized that his actions were not so manly... He hurriedly straightened his back and

pretended to be calm as if nothing had happened just now.

Or perhaps, the man who was scared to back away just now was not him at all.

Ralph said, "Mr. Shaffer, it's better for me to do it!"

Bennett hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head and refused, saying seriously, "No, it still

has to be me to do it! I can't ask others to coax my girl."

Ralph was silent.

He thought that Mr. Shaffer had really grown up and even knew how to be in love.

Bennett was about to continue cooking, but suddenly, the cell phone in his pocket rang.

Seeing that, Ralph quickly said, "Mr. Shaffer, it must be a call from Mrs. Shaffer. Come on. Give me the

spatula."

Bennett had no choice but to hand over the spatula to Ralph reluctantly.

Ralph took it and breathed a long sigh of relief.

He thought that the kitchen could finally be saved.

Bennett took out his cell phone from his pocket.

It was indeed a call from Catalina.

He hurriedly answered the call.

"Have you come back?"

He asked Catalina.

"No."

He didn't expect that it was a man who answered the call.

Bennett suddenly paused for a moment when he was stepping out of the kitchen.

He frowned and said, "Warren?"

"Yes."

Warren gave a response in a low voice on the phone.

Bennett took a deep breath and gripped the phone tightly, "Lina is with you?"

"Yes..."

Warren keep speaking in a soft voice, "Ben, I'm waiting for you in the plant where we were tied up

when we were kids."

"Warren?"

Bennett frowned.

"Don't come with anyone."

Warren's voice was always calm, and he added, "Unless you want to bury Lina. From now on, you'll

have 20 minutes. If you are late for just one second, what you might see will be Lina's dead body... No,

it's not a possibility. It's a certainty!"

"Warren."
