Marriage Without Love: Sir, Please Stop novel Chapter 94

Chapter 94 The Two in the Container Room

After Darnell's reminder, Catalina finally noticed the lipstick mark on Bennett's lips,

It was undoubtedly left by Claire.

So, at least they had kissed in that room.

Catalina felt a dull pain in her heart.

It was hard to ignore the lipstick mark on his lips.

However, Bennett seemed unaware of it.

He frowned in disgust, pulled out a gray handkerchief from his pocket, wiped off the lipstick, and then threw the expensive handkerchief directly into the trash.

He didn't even hesitate.

At this moment, Claire slowly walked out of the room, blushing with shyness.

The lipstick on her lips was smudged, and there was even a little of it on her chin.

She awkwardly wiped it off with a wet tissue and quickly sat back down next to Catalina.

Just by looking at the lipstick marks all over her mouth, one could guess just how passionate and intimate they were back in the room.

How could her lipstick be smudged like this with just a light kiss?

"Lina, do you have a mirror on you?"

Claire asked as soon as she sat down.

Catalina happened to carry a small mirror in her purse.

She handed it over to Lina without saying a word.

"Thanks."

Claire said with a smile.

She held the small round mirror and carefully wiped her mouth with a wet tissue. She had a coy smile on her face as she continued, "It's so embarrassing. Ben and I will probably make the headlines again tomorrow if the media takes photos of us tonight. Darnell is always trying to tease us."

She was clearly complaining, but rather showing off.

Emery couldn't stand it anymore and sneered, "Some people get so carried away after they've taken advantage of others!"

Catalina tugged at Emery's sleeve secretly, signaling her not to start a fight.

"Come on, let's draw the second round of cards and see who gets lucky this time."

Darnell started to deal the cards again.

This time, Bennett wasn't the first to draw but the last.

When she flipped over the card and saw she got a joker in her hand, her face turned red.

Emery was even more excited than her, feeling a sense of satisfaction because she had finally gotten revenge. She grabbed Catalina's hand and exclaimed, "One joker is in Lina's hand! Who has got the other one? Let me see who the lucky dog is to spend the night with her!"

"Gosh, Emery, don't shout!"

Catalina was so embarrassed that she wished she could just disappear.

"Who has drawn the other joker? Show your card to us quickly!"

Looking around, there was no response.

Even Catalina became curious.

She couldn't help but glance around at everyone. Finally, her gaze was fixed on Bennett's hand.

Everyone had already revealed their cards, except for Bennett, who was leaning on the table with one arm crossed over his chest, holding a card in his hand.

He stared at Catalina intently.

Catalina caught her breath.

Then, she saw him casually toss the card in his hand onto the grass.

The card revealed was a red joker.

It perfectly paired with Catalina's card.

Catalina stared at his card and her mind went blank for a second.

It turned out to be her and him...

Was this too coincidental?

In a few seconds, Catalina couldn't think straight.

Her head was messy.

Beside her, Claire's face turned pale in an instant.

In contrast, Emery was overjoyed.

As expected, justice has finally been served!

He remained calm and quiet, without making any moves.

Catalina guessed that he might be standing there with his hand in his pocket, leaning on the door, listening to her unsteady breathing and mocking her in his heart!

The time was ticking away.

Sitting with her back against the wall, Catalina felt for the first time that ten minutes could be so long and agonizingly slow.

She didn't say a word.

Bennett who was standing on the other side also showed no intention of speaking.

The two of them remained still and silent in the closed dark room for entire five minutes.

Finally, Catalina couldn't stand the silence and tentatively asked, "...When are you planning to marry Claire?"

"What makes you inquire about our relationship?"

Bennett responded in a deep voice while he was standing less than 1.7 feet away from her.

Catalina had thought he was still standing at the door, but she didn't expect him to be so close to her.

But she couldn't see him at all.

She began to feel anxious.

Her heart was racing increasingly rapidly.

"I'm not prying. I'm just concerned about my friend. Is there anything wrong about...?"

Before she could finish her sentence, she felt a soft touch brush against her nose.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Her chest heaved violently.

If she hadn't felt wrong just now...

The tip of her nose had brushed against Bennett's sexy, thin lips.

How close...

How close was he to her exactly?

Catalina was so flustered that she moved her head back half an inch, pressing her head against the wall, her cheeks burning red.

She weakly uttered the final word of the sentence, "...it?"
