Chapter 134 Understanding Her
The corner of Catherine’s mouth curled up into a faint smile, making her look quite mysterious and
unpredictable. She stared intently at the handsome man at her side. Her gentle voice sounded both
deep and hoarse. “Guess!”
The simple word made the gentleness in the bottom of the man’s eyes grow deeper and thicker, just
like the beautiful moonlight that could not be dissipated.
Branden understood what she meant. Since she wanted him to investigate independently, he would do
it himself. He didn’t believe that with the ability of the Duncans, he couldn’t even find out about this. The
more challenging something was, the more interesting it was, wasn’t it?
It was getting late. Catherine had classes tomorrow, and Branden was in control of her situation. “Let’s
go. I’ll send you back to rest. You have classes tomorrow!”
Was this man treating her as one of those little girls who had just become an adult and was busy with
daily classes?
Fine with her. As long as he was happy! Catherine put her hands in her pockets and turned around
coolly without saying goodbye to Branden. Her posture was arrogant to the extreme.
Branden didn’t mind. He had long known that her personality was reckless and arrogant. How could he
care about this little matter?
Returning upstairs, Catherine realized that Audrey had not returned yet. When she was about to go
upstairs to find her, Branden stopped her.
“Get some rest. It’s not polite if you go to Triston’s house and come back. Audrey is an adult, and she’ll
be fine with Triston around!”
After thinking about it, Catherine thought it made sense. Audrey was even older than her and had been
working in society for a long time. She nodded at Branden. “Well, I’m going to get some rest!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLooking at the way she turned and closed the door, Branden laughed with a helpless face. She was so
mean to him. She didn’t even say goodbye to him.
Just after he finished thinking about it, the door opened, followed by Catherine’s clear face appearing in
front of him.
Being confused by the sudden action, Branden was a bit puzzled. He asked by the look in his eyes, “Is
there anything else?”
On Catherine’s delicate face, her pink lips curled slightly upward. She said. with a hoarse voice,
“Nothing much. I just want to say to you… Good night.”
She deliberately intoned the last syllable. Her voice attracted Branden’s soul away instantly. Until the
sound of the door closing sounded again, Branden’s thoughts were pulled back. Looking at the closed
door of the room, he burst into laughter.
He had always been sober, and few things could tempt him. But in front of Catherine, he had
repeatedly lost his mind for various reasons that he hadn’t figured out.
Before leaving, he took another look at the closed door of the room. He parted his thin lips slightly to
murmur, “Good night!”
The next day, when Catherine got up to go to school, she noticed that the slippers placed at the door
hadn’t even been changed position, indicating that Audrey hadn’t returned last night.
Catherine frowned slightly but didn’t do anything. Branden was right. Audrey was an adult, and she was
capable of taking responsibility for her behavior. She didn’t need to worry about Audrey.
Catherine went downstairs with her book bag. It was her first time going to school from Audrey’s house,
and she planned to take a cab.
Just as she went downstairs, she saw the black Bentley parked out front. Catherine swept a glance at it
and left. Unexpectedly, the black Bentley drove slowly toward her and stopped beside her.
The moment the car window was rolled down, the handsome face was revealed inside the car.
Catherine froze momentarily when she saw the handsome face, not realizing it was actually Branden.
Paxton got out of the car and respectfully opened the door for Catherine. Seeing Catherine’s uncertain
look, Paxton hurriedly opened his mouth and spoke.
“Miss Swann, Mr. Duncan came to wait for you early in the morning!”
Hearing Paxton’s words, Catherine raised her eyebrows and looked toward Branden inside the car. The
man lowered his eyebrows as his gaze gently locked onto hers. “Get in the car!”
Catherine bent down and sat in the car. When Branden came to pick her up before, he drove the iconic
Maybach. She had never seen the Bentley before, so she didn’t recognize it just now.
After getting into the car, she casually asked, “You changed your car?”
“Uh-huh!” Branden responded. Paxton, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, murmured softly in his
heart, “He not only changed his car but also his house.”
Knowing that Catherine had been living in Audrey’s house these days, Branden moved to a nearby
house overnight. Branden had bought that house long ago but had never lived in it.
He moved there temporarily last night and came to pick up Catherine to send her to school early in the
morning. So, he didn’t use the car he usually used, and even the driver couldn’t be dispatched in time.
All the equipment used there was from the house. Even the car was a new one placed in the
underground garage there. Seeing that Catherine was about to close her eyes again, Branden stopped
her.
“Have your breakfast now!”
Catherine had plenty of time to sleep after arriving at school. Although Branden was not studying at the
school, he was still very familiar with Catherine’s situation at school. He knew that she slept every day
during class.
He reached out and picked up the food box on the side to put it in front of Catherine. Inside the
spacious carriage, all the equipment was designed to be fully automated. In the driver seat, Paxton had
considerately operated the car to automatically raise a small table board for placing the food box.
Catherine frowned slightly. She didn’t like having breakfast, just like she didn’t like getting up early.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRonin used to force her to have breakfast. He always prepared breakfast and brought it to her, trying all
means to make her eat a little.
It had been a long time since she had eaten breakfast in this period. Noticing a slight frown on her
delicate face, Branden showed his rare patience to persuade her, “Breakfast is important. You must eat
at least a little.
While saying this, he helped her open the food box and showed her the exquisite dishes inside. There
were pancakes, sandwiches, fries, and milk!
Catherine didn’t like eating sweets. What she hated the most for breakfast was coffee with sugar and
bread. On the contrary, these snacks were a little more acceptable to her.
Seeing the food Branden had prepared, Catherine’s originally furrowed brows gradually relaxed. She
didn’t expect this man to be careful with his arrangements, even noticing such small details.
Quite a few foods were prepared, and it didn’t look like it was for only one person.
“Let’s eat together!”
Catherine placed a fork aside, signaling Branden to have breakfast with her. The look in the man’s
delicate eyes changed slightly as if he didn’t expect her to extend an invitation. It seemed that
Catherine wasn’t that cold. She started to share food with him!
The food prepared by Branden was to her liking, and she ate a lot of it. She rarely ate so much. If
Ronin saw this scene, he might chase after Branden for the chef who cooked the food.
By the time they reached the school entrance, Catherine had just finished her breakfast. She took a
paper napkin to wipe her mouth and dashingly pushed the door to get out of the car. Unlike before,
Catherine took the initiative to turn around and waved to Branden.
“Bye!” Branden nodded his head. After her figure disappeared through the campus gate, he ordered
Paxton to drive.
Initially, he should have had a meeting in the morning. However, because of Catherine, he had
explicitly excused himself for half an hour. All the executives were now waiting for him.
