Chapter 109 She Hoped to Slow Down Time

Bennett held a document and read it intently next to Catalina. He seemed busy.

Catalina wanted to ask him why he went away to spend three days with her since he was so busy.

"Did you take a coat with you in the suitcase?"

Bennett suddenly asked.

Catalina nodded. "I took a light one."

"The temperature there varies greatly between day and night. I'll buy you a new one after we get

there."

"Okay."

Catalina was nervous.

Bennett said leisurely, "What don't you ask me where we are going?"

"I'll know when we arrive."

Bennett turned his head and glanced at her without saying anything else.

An hour later, they arrived at the airport.

They saw a private jet at the big airport.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Shaffer."

The flight attendants stood on the steps and greeted them respectfully at the sight of them.

Bennett led Catalina up the steps.

Vincent and several bodyguards in black followed closely.

"Mr. Shaffer, Ms. Grant, this way, please."

At the door, a stewardess made an inviting gesture.

"Thank you."

Catalina smiled and nodded her thanks.

It was the first time she had taken a private jet.

No, to be precise, it was her first time taking a flight.

The luxury inside the private jet was beyond Catalina's imagination.

She saw a bar upon entering. There were different kinds of drinks, which looked expensive.

There was a recreation room, a SPA room, and a lounge.

Catalina sat down on a square sofa with a small round table.

Bennett sat across from her.

After he sat down, he got down to work.

The stewardess came with a menu of drinks and served them. "Mr. Shaffer, Ms. Grant, what would you

like to drink?"

"Coffee, no sugar."

Bennett didn't hesitate.

The stewardess nodded and looked at Catalina with a smile. "What about you, Ms. Grant?"

"Well... I'd like a glass of juice, any juice."

"Okay."

The stewardess left with the menu.

After a while, the coffee and juice were served.

Bennett didn't drink much. He focused on his work.

Catalina was bored and kept sucking at the juice in the glass, occasionally making a grumbling noise.

"If you feel bored, you can go to the lounge to take a nap or enjoy a SPA."

Bennett finally looked up at her.

Catalina quickly sat straight. "Did I disturb you?"

Bennett took a deep look at her and lowered his head. "No."

Catalina let out a sigh of relief.

It seemed that her boredom was so evident that even he noticed it when he was preoccupied with

work.

Catalina moved to the window and looked out. All she saw was a vast expanse of whiteness. She had

no idea where she was going to land.

Bennett stole a glance at her from the corner of his eye.

Catalina propped her two hands against the window like a child and pressed her face to the glass,

looking at the clouds outside unblinkingly as if she was very curious about the outside world.

"It's the first time I take a plane."

Catalina seemed to sense Bennett's eyes on her and looked back, grinning and revealing her delicate

white teeth. "I didn't expect to be so lucky. My first flight is on a private jet."

Bennett was dazzled by her sudden smile.

He felt giddy as if his heart was knocked hard by a stray deer.

Bennett frowned and quickly lowered his head.

He forced himself to focus on the document in his hands.

His heart skipped several beats.

Catalina didn't notice the subtle change in Bennett's expression. She turned her head and continued to

look at the blue sky and white clouds.

"How long is the flight?"

She leaned against the window and asked Bennett.

"Five hours."

Catalina opened her mouth in surprise. 'That long?"

"Yes, if you're tired, take a nap."

"I'm not tired."

Catalina shook her head.

She didn't want to sleep.

She had three days. It was a short time, only seventy-two hours. Of course, she didn't want to sleep.

Catalina suddenly found that the whiteness outside the window seemed to have more colors when he

was with her.

If possible, she hoped she could slow down time...

...

When Catalina woke up from a deep sleep, she was surprised to see Bennett's handsome face in front

of her eyes.

She could even see the stubbles on his good-looking chin.

Bennett was looking down at the document in his hands intently and didn't notice that she woke up on

his shoulder.

Catalina didn't expect that she would lean against Bennett's shoulder and fall asleep.

No, that was not right. She didn't expect Bennett would allow her to lean against his shoulder and fall NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

asleep.

Catalina wanted to raise her head, but she didn't dare to do that.

She was so close to him that she could see his rolling Adam's apple.

He was so sexy that she held her breath instantly.

She couldn't help blushing.

"Are you awake?"

Suddenly, a deep voice said above her head.

Bennett closed the file folder.

Catalina pretended to rub her eyes sleepily and raised her head. "Did I fall asleep? How long did I

sleep?"

"More than four hours."

"That long?"

Catalina widened her eyes in surprise.

She looked around and found that she was not in the private jet.

She was in a car.

Moreover, the car had stopped.

The car door on Bennett's side was open.

There was a fresh fragrance of sophora flowers in the air.

Catalina was wide awake. "Where am I? Wasn't I on the plane? When did we land? I didn't know about

it at all."

She had slept like a log.

She wondered who carried her out of the plane and into the car.

Bennett started to get out of the car. "Get out of the car. We've arrived."

"Okay."

Catalina quickly followed him.

When she got out of the car, she was stunned by what she saw.

The snow-white Sophora blossoms swayed in the wind, and the petals flew around. It was like a

fairyland.

The setting sun shone on the trees and seemed to guild the fairyland. It was beautiful.

The air was filled with the fragrance of Sophora blossoms. It was like a dream.

"Your suitcase has been carried into the villa. Let's go."

Bennett stood in the front and reminded Catalina, who was in a daze.

Catalina came back to her senses and strode forward, catching up with Bennett excitedly. "Is this the

place you mentioned to me before? Is it the place you promised to take me?"

There was undisguised delight and excitement in her eyes.

As she spoke, her brows were lively, and she even raised her voice happily.

Bennett only said lightly, "Yes." He quickened his pace.

Catalina looked back at the trees in the yard and suddenly felt happy.

Although she knew Bennett brought her here not only to perform his promise, she was overjoyed.

She liked Sophora blossoms.

She liked the boy under the Sophora blossoms back then.

The boy used to tell her there was a city in the east, where one could see Sophora blossoms

everywhere. He said it was like a fairyland.

Catalina remembered when the boy mentioned the city, he held a Sophora stick in his mouth and

recited a poem.
