Chapter 89 We Are Divorced
Ralph paused for a moment before continuing, "So, it's okay if you don't like Mr. Shaffer, but please
don't hurt him."
After saying that, Ralph sighed and hung up.
Catalina held her mobile phone and shed tears of grievance.
She said in her heart, "Don't hurt him even if I do not like him?
Does he not know that Bennett is the one who doesn't like me and hurts me?
Is it because I was not hurt enough that I had to be accused like this for no reason?
Or did Ralph misunderstand something? Why does he think that I can hurt Bennett?"
Just as Catalina was thinking, suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and then Emery asked, "Lina,
may I come in?"
Catalina quickly wiped away the tears on her face and said, "Come in. The door is unlocked."
As soon as she had finished speaking, Emery pushed the door in.
There were two glasses of hot milk in her hands.
"Here."
Emery handed her a glass of milk and asked, "Are you alright?"
"...I'm fine."novelbin
Catalina forced a smile, took the glass of milk from her hand, and thanked her.
Emery asked tentatively, "Did you quarrel with Mr. Shaffer again?"
Catalina's hand holding the glass of milk paused.
She lowered her eyelids and slightly held the glass with her lips. After a while, she said in a soft voice,
"We won't quarrel anymore."
"What happened?"
Emery had a bad premonition.
"…We're divorced."
After saying that, Catalina closed her eyes, looked up, and took a big sip of hot milk.
Tears silently trickled down the corners of her eyes.
Emery's mouth widened in shock. For a moment, she did not even know how to comfort Catalina.
"Did you get the divorce certificate?" she asked in a daze.
Catalina shook her head. "But I got the divorce agreement which Bennett had already signed on."
"Well, that means nothing."
Emery let out a long sigh of relief, "The divorce agreement is just one of the procedures of divorce. It's
not that you two are really divorced after signing the divorce agreement. You haven't even got the
certificate yet, so don't be so sad! You two still have to take the marriage certificate to the City Hall and
go through a series of procedures to get a divorce certificate. That is called a successful divorce. You
two are just having a quarrel!"
"I have never seen the marriage certificate of Bennett and me."
"What?"
"I haven't gone through any procedures in the City Hall either."
"Then how did you two get married?"
"But we do have a marriage certificate. So, I guess this time, I still don't need to go to City Hall. He can
get it done on his own."
Emery fell silent.
She really did not know what to say.
She was stunned by the truth that money could make anything happen.
"Alright, just forget about this for now and get some good sleep tonight. Let's deal with this matter
tomorrow."
Emery comforted Catalina.
Catalina curled her legs in the chair with her chin against her knees. She stared straight at the glass of
milk in her hand and said, "Emery, Bennett just drove into me. His expression was so fierce that I
almost thought he was going to kill me."
Catalina couldn't forget the way Bennett had just looked at her.
After all, his gaze was really ferocious.
She was still a little frightened as she remembered the moment when he hit her with his car.
She thought, "What if I didn't fasten my seat belt? Or what if Bennett hit the passenger seat? If so, what
would happen to me now?"
"What?"
At Catalina's words, Emery was startled and asked, "He drove into you? Is he crazy?"
Catalina described the car accident to Emery in a tone as calm as possible.
After she finished speaking, her eyes turned red again. "Emery, tell me, does Bennett really want to kill
me? Does he really hate me that much?"
"Did you get hurt?"
As she spoke, Emery checked Catalina up and down, back and forth.
"I did not get injured, but he did."
Emery was stunned for a moment.
She took a sip of milk to suppress her shock and then said, "Lina, I don't know if my analysis is right,
but I don't think Bennett really wanted to do anything to you. If he really wanted to kill you, then why
would he crash into the driver's seat that no one sat in? Not to mention that he did not injure you at all."
Emery sighed and continued, "On the contrary, I think you did not get hurt because he handled it well
and knew what to do to avoid hurting you."
"Then why did he do all that?"
Catalina felt that Emery's analysis was simply untenable.
"Why?"
Emery spread out her hands with a meaningful expression. "Because he was angry and jealous! Isn't
that obvious? He invited you to celebrate his birthday, but you not only stood him up but even went on
a date with another man. Do you think he won't be angry or jealous? Of course, I'm not saying that he
can use a car to hit you just because he's angry and jealous. Such behavior is very unacceptable. I'm
just saying that he did so to show his anger. And, although he was angry then, he still didn't bear to hurt
you, right? At least that's how I feel."
Hearing that, Catalina thought, "Angry?
Jealous??
Because of me and Aaron?
Would Bennett be angry and jealous about that?"
Suddenly, Ralph's words rang out in Catalina's ear, "It's okay if you don't like Mr. Shaffer, but please
don't hurt him."
Catalina's heart instantly became completely messy.
She hugged her messy head in pain. "How is that possible? How would Bennett get jealous because of
me? It's impossible…"
She said in her heart, "The person he likes is clearly Claire!
He even put on a diamond ring for her four years ago!
Moreover, the person he made an appointment with at that time was also Claire!
How would he possibly get angry because I stood him up?"
Catalina was very confused.
"Alright, don't push yourself so hard. Get some good sleep. I'll leave you alone. Good night."
Emery patted Catalina on her shoulder and then left her room.
Emery had left.
However, her words, like a seed, deeply planted in Catalina's heart, then took root and sprouted…
…
In the following month, Catalina never saw Bennett again.
However, she often saw the news about him in newspapers.
His love affair with Claire had caused a stir throughout the city, and everyone knew it.
Sometimes, it was difficult for Catalina to ignore it.
Looking at the photos of the two of them going everywhere together, Catalina suddenly realized what a
perfect match was like.
She thought to herself, "They are exactly a perfect match.
And, this phrase has never had anything to do with me."
As Catalina was thinking, suddenly, the office door was knocked. Then the editor-in-chief, Felix, walked
in with a smile and said, "Here's some good news, guys!"
