Chapter 200 You Knew A Lot

Branden looked sideways and saw Catherine holding her face with one hand. She was leaning against the window with her eyes closed in a nap.

He reached out to wrap his broad palm around Catherine’s shoulders, exerting a slight force to make her lean into his arms. Catherine frowned slightly, thinking that Branden’s movements of embracing her were becoming more natural and proficient.

Just as she was about to struggle, she heard the man’s warm and magnetic low voice from above her head. “Don’t move. Taking a nap this way would be more comfortable.”

As Branden spoke, he pressed his cold fingertips repeatedly against Catherine’s head, soothing her entire head. It was a pleasant feeling.

Catherine, who had wanted to struggle free initially, closed her eyes in comfort as though a well-fed cat. The man’s eyes lowered. He saw Catherine leaning against his abdomen with her eyes closed and her face full of cute looks.

She now was completely different from her usual indifferent and aloof look. She was completely different from when she was on the motorcycle as she accelerated, racing with the wind.

And she was now also completely different from the domineering Catherine, who fought against many people alone inside Charm Bar.

At this moment, Catherine was just like a well-behaved little girl. She was so cute that he couldn’t help but stroke her.

How many identities and appearances did she have? Branden didn’t know. The only thing he knew was that this little girl continuously brings surprises.

He didn’t even want to investigate her. He just wanted to look forward to her brilliance every time, feeling her changes silently. Catherine didn’t know how long has she slept, and this was the first time she had fallen asleep unconsciously.

She was a particularly poor sleeper. Under normal circumstances, it was difficult for her to fall asleep. If she wasn’t in a place that made her feel extremely safe, her brain would remain on high alert even if asleep. Any noise and movement could wake her up immediately, and she rarely slept as deeply.

When she opened her eyes, there was blackness in front of her. After a moment of confusion, she realized she was still in Branden’s car, with her head resting on Branden’s soft abdomen.

“You’re awake?”

The man’s gentle voice rang out inside the pitch-black space, waking every single cell in Catherine’s body instantly.

She grunted. “Uh-huh.” After that, she sat up slowly with her elbows propped on the cushions. The man’s hand reached her neck and gently kneaded her slender neck with his fingertips.

She fell asleep leaning against him just now. Now that she was awake, her neck was indeed sore. With his massage, she felt much better.

She closed her eyes to enjoy the man’s attentive service silently. “How long did I sleep for?” she asked casually.

“About an hour!” Branden replied before handing Catherine coffee. “Have some hot coffee. It will soothe your throat!”

It was as if he had the power to read minds. He knew what she needed and wanted the most without her stating it. After a few sips of hot coffee, Catherine felt her whole body was comfortable and in good spirits.

She never expected to sleep for such a long time. Subconsciously, she thought she had only slept for 10 minutes or so.

“Have you learned how to massage?”

She realized that all the positions that the man massaged her at were just right. He massaged her precisely and patiently, which instantly relieved her fatigue.

The man smiled faintly, and his handsome face became more charming. “I often give myself a massage!”

Catherine froze for a moment. She didn’t expect that this would be the answer she got. “You have a shoulder or neck problem?”

Branden shook his head and said, “I’ve been sent to train by my Grandpa since I was young. There were always times of intensity and exhaustion.”

He didn’t continue his words, but Catherine understood what he meant. Although she hadn’t seen Branden in a fight, she could vouch that Branden’s fighting skill was not inferior to hers.

It would be impossible to achieve such abilities without plenty of training, even if someone had an innate advantage.  She had experienced this before and knew the bitterness and hardship involved better than anyone else.

“I often give myself a massage” was a seemingly simple sentence. However, no one knew how much hardship and sweat it took to say it.

Although the process of becoming stronger was difficult, in retrospect, it wasn’t that hard. After enduring that process, Catherine now thought it wasn’t that difficult.

Catherine stretched herself and pushed the car door open to get out of the car. She was ready to go upstairs to rest. Unexpectedly, Branden also pushed the door open and stood next to her.

“I can go up by myself,” Catherine said.

Branden smiled faintly. There was a bright sparkle in his obsidian eyes. They were as bright as the stars shining in the night sky.

“You’re wrong!”

“Huh?” Catherine looked at him in disbelief. Branden stepped forward. He held her hand naturally, moving forward. When the elevator reached the floor where she lived, Branden took out the key in his pocket and shook it in front of her.

He was full of smugness, with that rare smile on his face. He looked less serious and aloof than usual, with a hint of childishness.

“Nice to meet you, my new neighbor!”

Catherine realized that the new neighbor moving in next door that Audrey mentioned was none other than Branden!

“Why did you think of moving here out of the blue?” For the Duncans, who owned countless top-class villas, it was condescending to have the current head of the family live in a small apartment.

“The Lamberts are the developers of this property. When Triston reserved a large flat for himself, he also kept one for me!” Branden responded to Catherine casually. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The world of wealthy people was truly unique, as they freely gave an apartment as a casual gift. Branden said it lightly. Triston did indeed gift Branden a large apartment.

But it was the most luxurious one on the top floor instead of the small apartment on this floor. If Catherine had known that Branden had traded his large apartment for such a small apartment, she would probably think that the man in front of her was crazy.

Branden had already moved in, so Catherine couldn’t say anything! All she could do was to congratulate him on the new move. Right? She reached out her hand to Branden and said gracefully, “Nice to meet you, too, my new neighbor!”

Catherine’s hand and Branden’s hand were stacked together. Branden’s wide palm tightly surrounded Catherine’s small hand and gently kneaded it. ” Kathy, I’ll be in charge of taking you to school from now on!”

Catherine raised her eyebrows and looked at him. There was an inquiring look in her sharp eyes!

There was such a shrewd look in her eyes that not even the sophisticated Branden could hold his cool. He had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and give an honest explanation. “The weather has turned cold. It’s too cold to go to school by motorcycle in the morning. Girls should keep warm for the sake of their health!”

Catherine glanced coldly at him and said sarcastically, “You know a lot!”

After saying that, she turned around and entered the door.

“Bang!” The door of Catherine’s apartment slammed shut, and Branden was turned away for the first time in his life. He couldn’t fool Catherine.

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Catherine’s riding skills, but riding a motorcycle wasn’t as safe as taking a car. He didn’t want any accidents to happen to Catherine.

He didn’t want her to take any risks!
