Chapter 454 She’s Back
The next day, Catherine went to the homeroom teacher and reported back after a leave of absence before
returning to the classroom.
When she reached the door of the classroom, David was the first one to notice her. Only he wasn’t sleeping while
the other students were leaning in low spirits over their desks lifelessly. The moment he saw Catherine, David was a
bit stunned and then rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
“Am I dreaming? Catherine is back?”
He pinched himself in secret. Because he did it too hard, he grimaced in pain. It was then that he was sure that
Catherine had come back indeed.
He hurriedly reached out to push Bryan, who was sleeping soundly aside. Bryan was resting at this moment.
Disturbed by David, he flew into a rage and then snapped without raising his head, “Who is it? Do you have a death
wish?”
His cold voice sent David a chill down his spine. He hastened to explain, ” Bryan, Catherine is back…”
Bryan was dumbstruck and then asked coldly, “Who?”
“Who else can it be? Of course it’s Catherine!”
After David finished speaking, Ronin stood up at once before Bryan could react.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCatherine had arrived around them at this moment. Ronin went forward with excitement. “Catherine, you’re finally
back.”
Seeing Ronin running in her direction, Catherine reached out her arm to distance herself from him.
It was then that Ronin realized that he had overacted and almost pissed off Catherine.
Just as well Catherine didn’t attack him. Otherwise, he would have been taken to the hospital.
Apart from Ronin, the other students all fixed their eyes on Catherine. Catherine had been away for almost one
month. Everyone thought she wouldn’t come back.
They thought she would leave without warning, just like her sudden transfer to this school. Unexpectedly, Catherine
just showed up all of a sudden, startling the students of Class 8.
Catherine stood aside with her arms around her chest, looking down at all with slightly narrowed eyes.
“You seem to be doing well here. The graduation exam is around the corner. You’re all sleeping instead of
studying.”
Faced with Catherine’s criticism, Bryan and the others all felt guilty and didn’t dare to talk back. They all kept their
heads lowered.
Since Catherine asked for leave, they had felt that life in the classroom was rather tedious.
Besides, as the graduation exam was approaching, everyone was soaked in a dreary atmosphere.
Ronin knew best about Catherine’s temper. He knew that she didn’t really mean to reprimand them. He went
forward fawningly, pulled Catherine’s chair out, and invited her to her seat.
“Catherine, hurry and take a seat. While you were away, I wiped your desk and chair every day. They’re definitely
clean.”
Catherine arched her brows and shot Ronin a glance in surprise. She thought as she got leave from school, Ronin
would ask for leave too. After all, Ronin went to school for fun. She didn’t expect that he would come to class every
day.
It appeared that Ronin was interested in school.
The originally dull Class 8 came back to life due to Catherine’s return. The students all burst into an uproar with
excitement.
Liana stared in the direction of Catherine with deep hatred in her eyes. She thought that Catherine could never
come back. However, Catherine was back now. Liana thought, “Why does she keep showing up?”
While Catherine was not around, she finally had a chance to breathe.
Korbin was so busy dealing with the company’s affairs that he barely came home while Rachael stayed in the Langs
‘. Now, only she lived in the Swanns’.
This made her feel like she was back in the past when she lived like a princess served by all servants at home.
Because of Catherine’s reappearance, Liana felt rather uneasy as if something would change again. After school,
Ronin insisted on having dinner with Catherine. Bryan wanted to go along too.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCatherine hadn’t seen them for a while indeed. So, she decided to invite them all to dinner and proposed going to
Triston’s barbecue restaurant. It happened that the restaurant was nearby.
Others were all fine with that. So, they went to the barbecue restaurant together.
When they got to the barbecue restaurant, Ronin thought of one thing.
“Catherine, while you were not around, I noticed that Audrey seemed to be close to Triston the playboy. Do you
think we should teach him a lesson?”
Ronin was young and simple. He believed that one should be loyal in a relationship.
Ronin hated playboys like Triston most. It was fine to make friends with Triston, but Ronin wouldn’t allow him to have
designs on Audrey.
After all, Audrey was Catherine’s sister, which made her his sister too. Audrey was an innocent girl. How could he
allow a playboy like Triston to get his hands on her?
Catherine wasn’t surprised at all to hear Ronin’s report. She looked calm and composed. Ronin felt a bit confused.
“Catherine, why aren’t you angry at all? Triston dares to have designs on Audrey!”
Catherine raised her eyebrows and looked at him.
“Audrey is a grownup.”
Catherine had made her stance clear.
Audrey was a grownup, who could judge between right and wrong. She didn’t need Catherine to worry about her.
Now that Catherine didn’t want to interfere, Ronin couldn’t do anything to Triston though he was disgruntled.
