Chapter 56 Bet Is Considerate
Chapter 56 Bet Is Considerate
The next morning.
Bet was roused by a clearugh.
He got up, changed his clothes, and went out.
Outside the door, the golden morning light shone in, making the entire living room particrly bright.
Since Bet had just woken up, he couldn''t adapt to the strong light outside and subconsciously
blocked it out with his hand.
After a few seconds, he slowly moved his hand away.
Within his sight, a girl, barefoot and with her pant legs rolled up, was treading on the sheets soaking in
arge wooden basin.
White foam hopped around her fair feet, making her ten toes more crystal and delicate.
Catalina was basking in the golden sunlight, and herughter rang out clearly.
For a moment, Bet thought he was still in a dream.
"Good morning, Bet."
Maggie''s voice suddenly rang out beside him.
Bet slowly came back to his senses and nodded politely to Maggie. "Good morning, Grandma."
At the door, Catalina, who was helping Keira wash the quilt, subconsciously turned around at the sound
to take a look.
She happened to meet Bet''s deep amber eyes. She panicked and thought ofst night when they
had hugged and slept together. Her face flushed, and she immediately turned her head back.
For a moment, she felt very shy.
Her heart was beating wildly.
"Let''s go to breakfast, Bet."

Maggie asked Bet to sit down at the table. "Knowing that you''re here, I specially made some ravioli
for you!"
"Thank you, Grandma."
Bet quickly thanked her.
His eyes, however, would always stray to the lively figure in the sunlight.
It was as if herughter had an inexplicable infectious force that even his cold heart was sprinkled with
sunlight at the moment.
He felt warm andfortable.
Just as he was lost in thought, suddenly, Bet caught a glimpse of a small blood stain on Catalina''s
light-colored pants.
He frowned.
Then he suddenly felt slightly unwell.
Bet stood up, took off his windbreaker, and strode out.
While Catalina was still treading merrily on the sheets, she suddenly felt a heavy weight on her
shoulders and then was tightly wrapped in a thick men''s windbreaker.
Catalina was stunned.
She looked dazedly at Bet and blinked in bewilderment. "I''m not cold..."
She thought Bet was afraid that she might catch a cold.
With a ck face, Bet pinched his eyebrows and said, "You''re on your period."
"What?"
Catalina quickly lifted the windbreaker and turned to look at her pants.
Then she realized that Bet was right.
She felt very embarrassed.
The reason was that she didn''t even feel it at all.
"As a woman, can''t you even remember your own period?"
Catalina said, "...Who knows that it''lle in advance?"
After taking a nce at Bet, who was not looking well, Catalina felt a little guilty and said, "Are you
okay?"
She knew that he had always been afraid of seeing blood.
Therefore, she would be very guilty if he passed out because of her menstrual blood.
Bet didn''t answer her question but said, "I''m going out for a while."
After saying that, he left her there and strode out of the door.
"Hey! Where are you going?"
Catalina came out of the wooden basin and craned her neck to shout, "You haven''t had your ravioli
yet!"
"To get some fresh air."
With that, he left.
Catalina was a bit embarrassed and a bit guilty.
She thought, "Obviously, he was really scared by the blood on my pants.
Will he hate me even more in the future?"
Thinking of this, Catalina couldn''t help feeling a bit frustrated.
Aftering out of Maggie''s house with the excuse of getting some fresh air, Bet found the
nearest grocery store and walked straight in.
He quickly found Catalina''s favorite brand of sanitary pads on the sparsely stocked shelves and then
went to the counter to pay his bill.
He had not often bought pads for Catalina before, but this was not the first time he had done so.
When he pulled out a few banknotes from his wallet and was about to pay, Bet caught a glimpse of
a row of various candies lying on the counter.
Bet was stunned for a moment. Then he unconsciously picked out a box of apple-vored candy,
ced it on the counter as well, and asked the storedy, "Excuse me, how much are they?"
The storedy looked at Bet with a puzzled and slightly admiring gaze. "You are Lina''s ssmate,
right? The one who often came to our vige to look for her when she was a child."
"Yes."
Bet did not deny it.
"Wow! You''re a big man now."
The storedy looked at Bet with sparkling eyes. "I always thought you were good-looking when
you were only a kid. I didn''t expect you to be even more handsome when you grow up!"
"Thank you."
In the face of praise, Bet remained calm.
After all, he had often been praised like this.
"Are you now Lina''s boyfriend? Well, she''s a lucky girl."
As she spoke, the storedy took out a ck stic bag and packed the pads and the box of candy
Bet had bought inside. "It''s now really hard to find such a handsome and considerate boyfriend as
you!"
"Husband."
Bet calmly corrected her and handed her a banknote.
"Husband? Are you and Lina married?"
The storedy took the banknote and gave him the changes. "I didn''t hear that from the Duffy family.
You haven''t held the wedding yet, right?"
"Sooner orter."
"Well, congrattions then!"
"Thank you."
Bet walked out of the grocery store with the stic bag.
Meanwhile, he thought, "It''s incredible that I was actually chatting with someone just now.
She''s even apletely unknown stranger."
When Bet returned to Maggie''s house, Catalina was just about to go out to buy pads. When she
walked to the door, Bet stuffed a soft ck stic bag into her arms.
"What is it?"
Catalina was surprised.
When she opened it, she saw a pack of sanitary pads.
She looked back at Bet in consternation.
Bet was already seated at the table again.
He looked as if nothing had happened just now.
Catalina, holding the pack of pads, was stunned for a long time.
She thought, "So, he had actually gone out to buy me the sanitary pads just now?"
Bet didn''t even look at her, but he seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. "Don''t think too
much. I just bought it by the way."
Catalina was speechless for a moment.
She thought, "Fine.
I knew it. Bet would not go buy such things for me specially."
Although she thought so, Catalina still said, "Anyway, thank you, even if you just bought it by the way."
Having said this, she hurried into the bathroom, carrying the pack of pads in her arms.
The door was only closed for a few seconds, and then Catalina opened it and said, "What about the
box of candy inside? Did you also buy it by the way?"
Bet did not even look up. "The storedy didn''t have any changes, so she gave it to me for free."
Catalina hadn''t expected to hear that.
She rolled her eyes and said in her heart, "Fine!
I have nothing to say."
Catalina withdrew her head in embarrassment.
Catalina stared for a moment at the pack of sanitary pads and the box of her favorite apple candy in
her arms. Although she knew he hadn''t done it for her specially, she was still touched.
Suddenly, she remembered that when her period first came, it was also Bet who had gone to buy
her pads.
She was fourteen that year.
Due to malnutrition, she developed more slowly than normal teenagers.
When she saw blood on her pants for the first time, which happened to be after school, Catalina ran out
of the bathroom crying loudly. Her first reaction was to go find Bet.
At the same time, Bet was ying basketball with others on the basketball court. When he saw her
crying out of breath, he was so frightened that he immediately threw away the basketball in his hand.
Regardless of theints of his teammates, he ran towards Catalina.
