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."
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.
