Chapter 98 His Heart Aches
However, Bennett seemed relaxed and didn't take her seriously. He asked, "Can you play tennis?"
"..."
What kind of question was that?
"You'll know if I play with you."
Bennett sneered, ready to receive the ball. He said, "Show me what you have got!"
Catalina served the ball.
The ball flew out, and Bennett easily caught it with the swing of his racket.
He remained in place without even moving his feet.
Seeing the ball flying back at her, Catalina quickly ran up, raised her arm and managed to catch the ball and return it.
In this way, after a few rounds, although it seemed that Catalina would miss the ball every time, Bennett and Vincent, who was standing outside the court, were surprised that she managed to return every ball hit by Bennett.
The competition was becoming intense.
This girl was clearly pretending that she was poor at playing tennis, but actually, she had great skills!
In fact, Catalina's tennis skills were derived from playing badminton.
She joined the badminton club in college and was among the top female players. After practicing tennis for half a year, she was not particularly outstanding, but because of her former experience of playing badminton, she wasn't so far behind.
After Bennett realized that Catalina's tennis skills were not as bad as he had thought, he no longer underestimated her and began to take this competition seriously.
Seeing the ball flying over, Bennett half-jumped to catch it and then hit it back hard.
Catalina held up her head and raised her racket to catch the ball.
But the tennis ball spun like a drill and came towards her at high speed.
She must be finished!
Catalina knew it was impossible to catch the ball and she almost immediately protected her head with both her hands.
"Bang!"
The tennis ball hit her arm heavily.
In less than a second, her arm became congested and swollen.
"Ouch!"
Catalina screamed in pain.
Her small face twisted in agony.
With the other hand tightly covering the injured arm, her face turned slightly pale and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
"...I surrender."
She didn’t want to play tennis any longer.
Seeing this, Vincent didn't say a word. He just turned around and ran out.
Bennett never thought that she could catch the ball with her hand.
He was fully engaged in the game and had forgotten to control his strength.
Damn it!
Almost immediately, Bennett threw his racket and stormed towards Catalina with an angry face.
He scolded her as he ran toward her, "What's wrong with you? Why did you catch the ball with your hand instead of using the racket? If you're so skilled, why don't you go play volleyball? Or should I sign you up for the volleyball court next door?"
The burning anger surged within Bennett.
Catalina's arm had long gone numb from the pain.
She had never expected that instead of receiving an apology from Bennett, she would instead be mocked and scolded by him.
Catalina was furious.
She covered her arm and was about to leave.
She wished she had never been here today.
"Where are you going?"
Bennett stepped forward and stopped her.
He looked at her swollen arm, his brows furrowed tightly in a knot.
How could she get hurt so badly?
"Going home. Do you want me to stand here and let you scold me to my face?"
Bennett reached out and poked her nose, saying, "That’s what you deserve!"
Catalina was angry and tried to push his hand away, but he firmly gripped her hand.
Her heart thumped.
