Marriage Without Love: Sir, Please Stop

Chapter 3 An Unexpected Proposal

Chapter 3 An Unexpected Proposal

When Catalina returned home, she found that her luggage had been thrown into the corridor by her

stepmother, Elle Holder, including the doll that her mother had sewn for her before death.

Meanwhile, her father, Cason, was sitting at the door smoking.

His hair was messy, his face was haggard, and there was a pile of cigarette butts at his feet.

The corridor was filled with smoke, which was a little choking.

Through the hazy smoke, Catalina vaguely saw her father's gray temples.

Overnight, he seemed to be nearly ten years older because of her.

While throwing her things out, Elle cursed, "Let me tell you, your daughter is the jinx sent by God to

torture you. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have lost your job four years ago, and we three wouldn't

have to be crowded in this cramped dilapidated house. Fortunately, someone blind and foolish took a

fancy to her, but she did that disgusting thing again. We haven't got the chance to use the dowry

money, and the Roach family had already taken it back. The heating bill has not been paid yet!

Besides, her grandmother is still lying in the hospital, which costs a great deal of money every day.

Why is she not dead?"

"Mom's right!"

Someone echoed in the house.

It was Jenny Grant, Catalina's half-sister, who was two years younger than her and had just reached 20

this year.

Jenny had a pretty face, but her words were extremely mean. "Catalina, that bitch, is really a jinx.

Whoever has something to do with her will suffer a lifetime of bad luck. Dad, you must stay away from

her in the future! The loss of face is small, but the loss of life is large. Be careful, or she may one day

cause your death. Think about her mother, and Mr. Warren. Because of her, both of them suffered a lot

and came to no good end."

Cason scolded towards the house with a cold face, "Shut up! Watch your tongue!"

After saying that, he looked back and then saw Catalina in the corridor.

"Lina."

Cason slowly straightened up from his chair.

Meeting his sad eyes, Catalina suddenly felt aggrieved, and her tears almost burst out. "Dad."

"Look! The jinx is back."

Jenny also came to the door.

She leaned on the doorframe and squinted at Catalina in the corridor while eating some snacks in her

hand. "Mom, Catalina is back. Have you finished throwing her things?"

In the house, Elle heard the noise and rushed out of the door. She slammed the last few things

belonging to Catalina angrily into the corridor and glared fiercely at Catalina. "You bitch! Get out and

never come back. The Grant family can't afford to lose faces again because of you."

Catalina was not surprised to be swept out by her stepmother.

There was no emotion on her indifferent face. She just picked up the doll that her mother had sewn for

her from the pile of things, cleaned the dust on it, and hugged it in her arms. Then she asked Cason,

"Did the Roach family take back all the dowry money?"

"Yes."

With a worried face, Cason sighed, "We haven't paid the operation fee for your grandmother yet!"

Elle suddenly interrupted, "Why should we pay? It's a good thing if she dies!"

"Can you stop saying that?" Cason glared at his wife.

Catalina tried her best to hold back her tears and said, "Dad, don't worry. I will try to cover the medical

expenses for Grandmother. And, I'm sorry for what happened today."

Catalina never felt that she had any faults in this matter. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

However, she felt it was her fault to let her father worry about her.

"How are you going to raise 100 thousand dollars for the operation?" Cason looked worried.

Jenny sneered as she was snacking, "How? By selling herself!"

Catalina glared at her coldly.

Jenny immediately shrank her neck in fear, but she still muttered, "Why are you glaring at me? I know

you have big eyes, but so what?"

During the quarrel, they suddenly heard the loud engine sound of the motorcade coming from

downstairs.

Following closely, people downstairs burst into an uproar.

"Cason! Cason!"

"Jenny, come down quickly!"

Downstairs, the neighbors shouted at them who lived on the second floor.

"What? What happened?"

Jenny stopped snacking and walked to the balcony.

Cason followed her closely.

Catalina also looked down in confusion.

Then she was extremely surprised.

She saw that, on the deserted terrace downstairs, there was a luxury motorcade parked in order, all of

which were unified black Bentley.

They were too luxurious to be incompatible with this old and dilapidated community.

As soon as the motorcade appeared, there was no doubt that it had become the most eye-catching

scenery in the whole community.

In front of the first car, there was an old man in his fifties. Dressed in a black suit, he stood gracefully

and in high spirits.

When seeing Catalina and Jenny who were on the second floor, he put his right hand on his chest, like

an elegant gentleman, and bowed respectfully. "Nice to meet you, Ms. Grant!"

Catalina was stunned.

She couldn't help but think, "Who is this man?

Why is he so respectful to us?

After all, from his appearance and dressing, I can tell that he definitely has an extraordinary identity."

At that moment, Jenny blinked in surprise and pointed to her own nose. "Are you looking for me?"

"Jenny, he's indeed looking for you!"

The enthusiastic neighbors downstairs rushed to answer her and then said to Cason with jealousy,

"Cason, you are really lucky! Your eldest daughter just got married yesterday, and unexpectedly,

someone rich and powerful came for a proposal today. In my opinion, your family is really going to

prosper soon!"

"Proposal?"

Cason looked at Jenny in surprise.

Jenny was also very confused.

Catalina, as an outsider, watched this with no expression.

"Yes, Mr. Grant, I came to propose marriage to Ms. Grant on behalf of my master. I hope you can

agree, Mr. Grant."

After saying that, the old man downstairs raised his hand and ordered the servants waiting beside the

cars, "Take the betrothal gifts to Ms. Grant. Be careful, and don't get them bumped. Every gift here

represents our master's sincerity."

"Got it!" the servants answered.

Then they carried various gift boxes and went upstairs in order.

The old man walked at the end of the line to oversee the overall situation.

"Wow!"

As soon as Elle came out, she happened to meet the team carrying gifts into the house.

She saw such a big scene for the first time, and her eyes widened. "What's going on here?"

Cason was also confused. "He said he came to propose marriage to Jenny on behalf of his master,

who seems to be from a rich family."

"Proposing marriage?"

Elle instantly showed a surprised expression and said, "Jenny, when did you meet such a rich man?

Why did you never tell us about that? My God, if he didn't come to propose, I would still not know that!"

At that moment, the warm-hearted neighbors downstairs also followed the huge proposal team

upstairs.

"She's right. Jenny, since you have such a rich boyfriend, why are you so low-key?"

"I heard that the cars downstairs cost more than 10 million dollars each! There are at least a dozen

cars! How amazing it is! Your boyfriend must be a billionaire!"

"I thought your sister's marriage was already very grand. Unexpectedly, you have a richer fiancé than

she does! No, she's not even comparable to you!"

"Exactly! You're way better than her."

The neighbors kept flattering Jenny one after another.

Hearing their praises, Elle was overjoyed.

She wondered in her heart, "I thought that Catalina was already very lucky to marry Aaron, such a rich

man. Jenny and I had even been jealous of her for a long time, but I never expected that fate would

suddenly turn in our favor after only one day.

Catalina failed to marry into the Roach family, but Jenny was just proposed to by someone richer than

Aaron. Although I don't know which noble family this man comes from, I can tell from the luxury cars

parked downstairs that he has an extraordinary identity."
