Chapter 35 Catalina's Girlish Mind

However, Bennett noticed that very quickly and tightly clasped Catalina's small hand that wanted to

escape.

Meanwhile, he gave her a sharp glance.

Seeing that, Catalina finally reacted.

She thought, "I almost gave myself away just now.

Thanks to Bennett, nothing happened."

Bennett firmly held her small hand, as if afraid that she would run away. "Grandma, please don't worry.

I will take good care of her."

After saying that, he turned to stare at Catalina with burning eyes, as if to ignite her. "For a lifetime."

Catalina's heart seemed to have been pierced by something sharp, and it made her wince violently in

pain.

She thought, "For a lifetime...

These words are so familiar.

I still remember that when we were kids, the boy in white stood under a century-old locust tree in full

blossoms, looked up, and asked me behind him, 'How long will you be with me?'

I, who was naive back then, looked up at the locust blossoms in the air and chuckled, 'As long as you

don't drive me away, I'll be with you for a lifetime!'

The boy also chuckled with his head still high, 'OK, then let's be together for a lifetime.'

I can still remember that scene...

In the golden sunshine, the locust flowers fell in profusion and sprinkled on the boy's face.

It was the first time I had seen him smile. It was more dazzling than the sun and more beautiful than the

locust flowers."

As distant memories overlapped with reality, tears almost ran out of Catalina's eyes.

She sneered in her heart, "For a lifetime. What a sweet promise.

Unfortunately, there has never been a so-called lifetime between me and Bennett!

My lifetime promise to him back then was a dream.

And now, his lifetime promise to me is just a play."

Bennett's promise made Maggie very happy. She held their hands and said with delight, "In fact, when

you were kids, I already saw that you two had some feelings for each other."

Neither Catalina nor Bennett spoke.

Catalina felt that a pair of burning eyes were fixed upon her from above.

Catalina blushed and tried to explain, "Grandma, we were just little kids at that time, and we didn't

understand these things at all."

"I also remember that you two wrote exchange diaries back then. You even hid the diary secretly after I

found it!" Maggie exposed Catalina's girlish mind.

"Exchange diaries?"

Bennett was shocked and looked at Catalina. "Did we do that before?"

He was very surprised because, as the party of this matter, he didn't know that at all.

"No, there is no such thing..."

Catalina waved her hands hastily, her face flushed with nervousness and guilt. "Grandma remembered

it wrong, really!"

After saying that, she continued in her heart, "In fact, Grandma did not remember it wrong.

After I received Bennett's diary, I secretly wrote in his diary about my daily activities and girlish thoughts

of missing him.

However, I have only dared to read the diary myself. I never dared to give it to him.

If he finds out, I'll definitely be humiliated by him harshly!"

"All right, I remember it wrong. Look at my muddled head. Maybe it's your cousin's exchange diary with

his little girlfriend!"

Maggie had lived a long time, so she naturally knew how to take cues from others, especially from her

granddaughter, Catalina.

Catalina sighed heavily with relief, "See? As I said, Grandma remembered it wrong. If I really wrote the

exchange diary, how could you not know?"

Catalina did not know whether Bennett believed it or not. Anyway, he didn't ask about that any further.

"Perhaps, in his view, it doesn't matter whether there is an exchange diary!" she thought.

After coming out of the hospital, Vincent immediately handed Bennett a piece of sterilized tissue.

Bennett calmly wiped his hands, and then Vincent handed him a bottle of mini spray.

Bennett sprayed on himself several times and then casually handed it to Catalina next to him.

Catalina was stunned for a moment. Then she waved her hand and refused, "I don't need it. I don't

have bacteriophobia."

Bennett said nothing but handed the spray to Vincent behind him.

After that, he moved his long legs and stepped into the limousine in front of him.

Catalina wanted to follow him in but was stopped by Vincent. "Mrs. Shaffer, please wait a moment."

He lifted the bottle of disinfectant spray and carefully sprayed it around Catalina, front and back, up and

down.

Catalina was speechless. "Didn't I say that I don't have bacteriophobia? There is no need to go so far

as to do so."

"Sorry, Mrs. Shaffer, you may not have bacteriophobia, but Mr. Shaffer does. OK, Mrs. Shaffer, you can

get into the car now."

Vincent respectfully made a "please" gesture to Catalina.

Catalina fell silent.

She really didn't know what to say.

She thought, "So, when Bennett handed me the disinfectant spray just now, he was not worried about

me but worried that I, who was carrying the virus, would infect him?

He was even worried about me contaminating his car, right?

Fine! That was what Bennett would do."

Catalina was a little angry, but the thought that Bennett had just made Maggie very happy in the ward

subsidized all her anger unconsciously.

"Forget it, he's always like this, isn't he? Therefore, it is not necessary to dispute with him too much,"

she thought.

Catalina got into the car.

It was clear that the space in the car was very spacious, but somehow, as soon as Catalina sat in, she

felt a strange sense of oppression, which made her gasp for breath.

The reason was that the man beside her was too aggressive.

His face was cold, his eyes looked straight ahead, and he exuded an unapproachable, dangerous aura.

He was like a depressed lion.

He was quite different now from the warm man he had just been in the ward.

Catalina thought, "This is the real him!

It was really incredible that he actually cooperated with me in acting a play just now."

Catalina hesitated for a few seconds. Finally, she summoned her courage and said, "Thank you very

much today..."

"Stop."

With an indifferent face, Bennett distanced himself from her. "It's my personal will to visit your

grandmother today. It has nothing to do with you."

Catalina should have guessed this result long ago.

After all, Bennett had always treated Maggie well when he was a child. He always said that because

his grandmothers were dead, he treated her grandmother as his own.

However, things changed after what had happened to Warren, and he went to Gilburgh not long later.

Catalina knew that the result might be this, but her heart still ached a little.

"But I want to thank you anyway."

"What does the exchange diary mean?" Bennett suddenly asked.

His face grew even colder as he said this.

Catalina had not expected that he would suddenly ask about it.

Her watery eyes flickered, and she hurriedly looked away, pretending to look out of the window.

"Well...Don't take what Grandma said today seriously."

"Which part do you mean?"

Bennett's indifferent, deep eyes darkened quickly, and then grew even colder. "The part about you

having had a crush on me since you were a little girl? Or the part about Grandma asking us to love

each other forever?"

"Just don't take her words seriously, including the part about the exchange diary."

Just a second after saying that, Catalina suddenly reacted, and her small face instantly blushed. "Wait,

when did I have a crush on you?"

She tried to clarify.

However, her lovely oval face was as red as if it had been painted.
