Chapter 147


    Bet had never felt so exhausted before, but after being so tired, he strangely felt at ease.


    He slumped on the sofa, closed his eyes to rest, and asked Catalina, "What should we have for dinner?


    I''ll ask Ralph to send someone over to cook."


    "Are you hungry?"


    "Uh... Huh."


    His stomach had been growling loudly for a while now.


    Catalina nced at the time and realized it was indeed gettingte.


    She had nned to cook a nice meal for him, but it seemed like there wasn''t enough time now.


    Besides, she didn''t want to rush and cook for him.


    Sometimes, the sense of ceremony was also important.


    "That''s fine. Please ask Ralph to arrange it!"


    "Okay."


    After responding to her, Bet got up and made a phone call to Ralph.


    Catalina sat on the floor with her legs crossed and she was dismantling some small items. She heard


    the discussion between Bet and Ralph on the dinner arrangements. He also asked Ralph to pack


    some of his belongings and move them over.


    Clearly, he really intended to stay with her there.


    In Catalina''s heart, she felt nervous, excited, and somewhat apprehensive.


    After Bet finished the call, Catalina pointed upstairs to the rooms. She was too shy to look at him


    and she said, "You can pick a room first! After you decide, I''ll pick mine."


    Bet squatted down beside her and asked, "Which room are you going to choose?"


    "Why do you ask that?"


    Catalina''s cheeks blushed slightly.


    Bet moved a new carpet that had just been put in and ced it on the floor before sitting down. He


    replied, "I want to stay with you."


    He said it matter-of-factly.


    "Stay in the same room? No, I can''t!"


    Catalina nervously raised her voice and continued, "How can we stay in the same room? This... This...


    This is impossible! I can''t do it. I..."


    "I mean, stay in the adjacent room. We can stay next to each other. What are you thinking?"


    "Uh..."


    Catalina blushed and added, "You should have made that clear from the beginning..."


    "Do you really not want to live in the same room with me that badly?"


    "No, staying in the adjacent room is fine. I didn''t mean that I don''t want to!"


    "I was asking, do you not want to stay in the same room as me?"


    Catalina was speechless.


    Her face turned red, and she hesitated to continue her sentence.


    "Alright, I got it."


    Bet interrupted her before she could finish her sentence.


    Catalina was bewildered.


    Surprisingly, Bet''s ears had also turned slightly red, and said, "But I never thought about using the


    same room with you."


    "After all, for me, that would be ying with fire!"


    In the end, the one who would be tormented the most would be himself.


    Bet licked his dry lips, got up, and returned to the couch.

    Catalina didn''t know how to respond.


    Her heart was pounding heavily.


    She couldn''t help but nce at the man on the couch a few times.


    It all felt like a dream to her.


    Bet and she...


    She was with the man she had always looked up to...


    Now, they were living under the same roof.


    And it wasn''t like before, where they were forced into this situation, and he no longer treated her with


    cold sarcasm.


    They naturally drew closer to each other...


    Catalina couldn''t help but feel that moment was too unbelievable!


    Unbelievable to the point that she found it hard to believe.


    Yet, that was reality.


    Catalina lowered her head and chuckled softly.


    It seemed that dreams were impossible, but reality didn''t seem to be so harsh.


    What if, just like her, others also encountered something supernatural?


    On the next day.


    Catalina went to work at the office as scheduled.


    As she entered the office, from the front desk to the office, everyone she passed by looked at her with


    curiosity.


    "So, this is Catalina Grant!"


    "She''s amazing! She dares to cancel the marriage with the Shaffer family, really remarkable!"


    "What background does she have? Isn''t she supposed toe from a very ordinary family?"


    "How could someone from such an ordinary background catch the attention of Mr. Warren? And she


    even dared to run away from the wedding? Is she digging for her own grave?"


    "I heard she actually had a marriage agreement with Mr. Warren four or five years ago, but


    unexpectedly, on the night before the wedding, she was caught messing around with another man. And


    because of that, Mr. Warren became a vegetative state for four years. He had just woken up not long


    ago, and now he has to go through this kind of pain again. He is such an unfortunate man!"


    Catalina didn''t say a word.


    Listening to her colleagues'' usations, Catalina felt uneasy in her heart.


    She was overwhelmed by guilt.


    Catalina felt the urge to escape.


    She quickened her pace, practically running to her department.


    As soon as she entered, she noticed several colleagues huddled together, whispering about


    something.


    They quickly dispersed when they saw her.


    She was pretty sure that they were talking about the weddingst night.


    She had already expected that she would be the subject of gossip among her coworkers.


    But why did it matter?


    When she decided to leave, she knew that could be the consequences.


    She had made her choice and she didn''t care anymore.


    She wasn''t regretting her decision.


    She had no regrets no matter what challengesy ahead.


    Catalina sat in her cubicle.


    Her colleague, Emery nced at her.


    It was strange that Emery didn''te over to her ce to gossip with her today.


    "Did you see the news?"


    Emery asked.


    Catalina shook her head and turned on herputer, getting ready to work.


    She knew the news would either be about her and Warren''s wedding or Bet and Hana''s wedding.


    Either way, it wouldn''t be ttering, and she didn''t want to read it.


    "Bet''s side is fine. The media has been tight-lipped. But for your side..."


    Emery''s expression showed some resentment and continued, "As soon as you left, Warren became the


    he... he is impotent, and a lot of other reasons. That''s why you ran away from the wedding."


    Catalina''s fingers froze on the keyboard.


    Her face turned slightly pale.


    Emery sighed, "I understand yourst-minute escape, but... if you didn''t like him from the beginning,


    why did you agree? And if you agreed, why didn''t you go stay with it till the end?"


    Catalina sighed as well after hearing her words.


    She nced at theputer screen, then lowered her head, and looked at her toes. She answered, "It


    takes courage to agree, but it takes even more courage to stay with it through to the end..."


    That''s why, as the final moment approached, she flinched.


    "Those who haven''t experienced it will never understand."


    No one could truly empathize with the manypromises she had to make.


    After she betrayed Warren a few years ago, she was forced to hide the information to protect Bet


    and finally married Warren out of necessity.


    Until the moment of running away, Catalina had finally considered her own feelings first and followed


    her heart.


    So, even though she felt guilty about Warren, she didn''t regret it!


    After work, Catalina didn''t immediately return to the vi where she and Bet were staying.


    Instead...


    She went back to Ink Vi.


    When she appeared at the entrance of Ink Vi, all the maids looked at her with expressions of wanting


    to skin her alive.


    "Why are you here again? Do you want to beg our Mr. Warren to forgive you? Stop dreaming!"


    A female maid serving Warren pointed at Catalina and berated her without caring about the difference


    in their statuses.
