Chapter 23 The Means to Console a Girl

Chapter 23 The Means to Console a Girl

Bennett sat on the sofa while flipping through the documents in his hands. However, he kept recalling

the tattered doll that was resting on Catalina's bedside, and her grievance when she cried and accused

him yesterday.

Catalina's "I hate you" was like a magic spell, echoing in his ears nonstop.

Bennett frowned.

He told himself that Catalina's hatred toward him wasn't something he should be bothered about.

However, in the next second, he irritably threw the document in his hand, "Ralph."

"Yes."

Ralph, who was watering the indoor plants, quickly paused his work and respectfully stepped forward.

Bennett was silent for a long time before saying, "Go buy a bunch of decent toys."

"Toys?"

Ralph was surprised and confused.

Bennett loosened the tie around his neck. He was a little impatient, "The kind of toys that girls like to

play with."

"Ahhh..."

Ralph understood swiftly, "Mr. Shaffer, you're referring to rag dolls that girls like, right?"

Bennett furrowed his eyebrows and didn't reply. He only picked up the documents on the table again.

It was a silent acquiescence.

Of course, Ralph could understand what Bennett meant. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but

ask, "Mr. Shaffer, please forgive me for stepping in, but I believe I need to remind you about this. I'm

afraid that even if you bought all the rag dolls from the world, Mrs. Shaffer might not necessarily be

pleased!"

Bennett frowned, and his expression was cold as if there was a layer of frost, "Then, what else does

she want? Does she want me to sew one for her with my own hands?"

"...Well, that's a good idea."

"..."

Bennett's cold gaze shot straight toward Ralph like an ice prism.

Ralph was so frightened until tightening his neck, "Mr. Shaffer, I'll make the arrangements immediately.

I'll pick the best-looking ones to buy. I'll do my best to make Mrs. Shaffer happy."

After Ralph finished speaking, he left the study room as quickly as possible.

As the door closed, Bennett paused for a long time before putting down the documents in his hand

again.

He looked back at the closed door. After making sure that no one would enter, he took out his mobile

phone, opened Google, and typed "How to make handmade dolls".

...

After taking medicine timely for two days, Catalina's health improved significantly.

One day, Catalina was busy in her room trying to fix the rag doll that was gifted by her mother.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

It was Ralph.

There were two servants following behind him.

The servants were carrying a large square box about two meters wide and two meters long.

Catalina was surprised, "Ralph, what is this?"

"Mrs. Shaffer, please come and check it yourself!"

Ralph gestured and left Catalina in suspense.

Ralph had piqued Catalina's curiosity.

She quickly put down the needlework and ran over.

As Catalina opened the box and looked inside, she was stunned.

"Ragdolls?"

Catalina looked at Ralph in surprise, "These are..."

Ralph smiled, "These are from Mr. Shaffer. I believe he's trying to make up for Mrs. Shaffer!"

Catalina's heart swayed slightly.

"Did he ask you to buy these?"

Catalina was skeptical.

This wasn't something that Bennett would do.

"Yes, it's true that Mr. Shaffer had asked me to buy them."

All right!

This was astonishing.

Catalina bit her lower lips. There was a strange feeling arising in her heart. However, she said, "These

dolls he bought can't be compared with the one that my mother gifted me. But anyways, forget it. I'm

too lazy to argue with him about this."

"You are kind, Mrs. Shaffer. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Alright. Thank you, Ralph."

As soon as Ralph left, Catalina quickly took out the dolls in the box one by one.

"Wow! A limited edition Kitty Cat."

"Sailor Moon!"

"Cardcaptor Sakura!"

Oh my God!

They were all Catalina's childhood!

She really liked them.

Moreover, by looking at the quality and edition, one could tell that the dolls here were all expensive.

Each of them would probably cost thousands or tens of thousands.

Geez! Ralph was really good at selecting. The only drawback was that there were expensive.

As Catalina checked through the pile of dolls, a strangely shaped doll suddenly caught her attention.

"What is this?"

Catalina suspiciously took the doll out of the box.

She looked at the doll and frowned, "Isn't this too ugly?"

To speak the truth, the first phrase that popped up in Catalina's mind when she saw the doll was,

"Strange and ugly."

The doll had a big head that wasn't round. It wasn't even properly shaped. The eyes were sewn by

using two buttons. As for the mouth...

Obviously, the mouth was created by cutting out a piece of red cloth. However, the shape of the mouth

was also very ugly, like a pair of sausages.

As for the doll's body, it was only equivalent to a third of its head.

What the hell was this?

"A big-headed doll?"

Catalina frowned and pondered.

She couldn't understand why such an ugly thing was mixed in this pile of limited-edition dolls.

This doll was like a child's creation! Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Probably from a child not older than eight-year-olds!

While Catalina was pondering, Wendy stepped into the room with medicine, "Mrs. Shaffer, it's time for

you to take medicine. Hmm? Why are there so many dolls?"

When Wendy saw the dolls in the box, her eyes lit up.

"Are they from Mr. Shaffer?"

"From Ralph," Catalina corrected Wendy.

"That must be because Mr. Shaffer told him so. Wow! These dolls are so cute!"

Wendy also fell in love with the dolls.

"You like them?"

Catalina patted the box and said generously, "If you like them, you can pick one and take it."

"Huh? Isn't that bad to do? It's a gift for you from Mr. Shaffer. I don't want to take anything."

Wendy quickly threw the doll in her hands back into the box.

"What's so bad about this? There're so many dolls here. I can't possibly put them all in this room

anyways! He gave me too much, and I don't think it would matter for you to take one. Just choose one.

Take the one you like."

"I..."

"Choose!"

"Then, I'll pick this. The ugliest!"

Wendy conservatively took the ugliest doll from the pile of dolls, "This one."

"Pfft! Do you also think that it's the ugliest? I feel the same way."

Wendy carefully looked at the doll and nodded, "It's ugly, but it's also quite unique, right?"

"Are you sure you want this? Think it through clearly. It seemed to be the cheapest one among them. I

won't give you a second chance if you regret it later."

"Alright! I've decided to choose this. I must keep the good-looking ones for you. Or else, Mr. Shaffer

would blame me and I'd be doomed."

"Don't worry. He won't know which doll was missing among these many dolls. Moreover, even if he has

a good memory, he wouldn't care much about this."

Indeed, as Catalina said, Bennett didn't really know how many dolls were sent to Catalina. He also

didn't know how each of the dolls looked. Even if Cataline gifted all the dolls away, Bennett wouldn't

really care.

But coincidentally...

Catalina had picked the most special doll to give away.

The consequences of her mistakes started here.
