Chapter 328 Going Back to Cook

Sean looked at Catherine in confusion. ” Catherine, didn’t you send Erick back to the Winfreds? Why did you bring him back?”

Catherine leaned against the wall, appearing indifferent, and didn’t respond to Sean at all. Well, Sean had to turn to Ronin, who was standing nearby. Ronin, clearly irritated, chimed in, ” Xavier, that old brat, plays dirty.

Catherine doesn’t like him!”

Sean finally grasped the situation, Xavier must have crossed a line. Otherwise, Catherine, known for her laid-back attitude, wouldn’t bother getting involved.

Feeling her phone vibrate in her pocket, Catherine nonchalantly took it out and checked the message, [Are you coming back for dinner?)

Catherine glanced at the message, put her phone back in her pocket, and without turning around, she casually told Sean, “I’m leaving him here for now.”

Sean, looking visibly alarmed, glanced at Ronin next to him and asked in disbelief, “Did I just see Catherine smiling? Who on earth has the magic touch to make her smile like that? Unbelievable!”

Of course, Ronin knew who it was without a second thought.

“Who else could it be? Besides that Dandy,” Ronin replied with a touch of anger. In Ronin’s eyes, Branden was nothing more than a charming flirt who had managed to captivate Catherine with his looks.

Sean wanted to probe further, but Ronin chose to remain tight-lipped. The two of them were so caught up in their talk that they didn’t see Erick’s expression.

Catherine’s smile was like a breath of fresh air, gradually quenching his parched heart and reigniting his hope. At the Duncan Corporation. Triston kept hanging around in Branden’s office, waiting for him to go party together in the evening.

“Branden, come on, do me a favor. It’s been so long since you partied with us. Taking a little break from work won’t hurt, and the Duncan Corporation can handle things without you!”

Triston stayed in Branden’s office because he was afraid that Branden would disappear again. It had been a while since no one could find Branden, leaving all friends baffled.

Triston had promised in front of a few friends that he would definitely bring Branden along today. How would he face them if he failed?

Branden ignored Triston. Once he saw Catherine’s reply, he promptly stood up to leave. Triston, seeing Branden about to leave, hurriedly followed, “Branden, no need to rush. We can first go change our clothes.”

However, Paxton stopped him right after he had taken a few steps. He looked at Paxton, puzzled, “What’s the matter? I’m going to party with Branden. Don’t you understand?”

However, Paxton stopped him right after he had taken a few steps. He looked at Paxton, puzzled, “What’s the matter? I’m going to party with Branden. Don’t you understand?”

Paxton looked expressionless at Triston. “Mr. Duncan isn’t going to hang out with you.”

“What?” Triston looked puzzled at Paxton, his eyes showing his confusion. “How did you know?”

Paxton rolled his eyes in silence as a response. Feeling disrespected, Triston got angry and tried to confront Paxton. However, in the next moment, Paxton grabbed his arm.

Knowing he couldn’t win a physical confrontation with Paxton, Triston persisted in bothering him. Paxton reluctantly shared a few details with him. The next second, Triston was so surprised that his mouth hung open.

He stared wide-eyed at Paxton and exclaimed, “Is what you’re saying true? Branden leaves work on time every day just to go home and cook for his girlfriend?”

“Branden cooks?” Triston asked again. Paxton nodded silently, Even though he also thought it was odd, that’s how it was. Triston was so stunned that he nearly passed out. He yelled in frustration, ” Well, I’ll be damned!”

When Branden returned home, Catherine was already there. She sat with her legs crossed near the front door, and her small size made her seem even tinier when she huddled up.

In this curled-up position, she looked quite sad, like a lonely, abandoned kitten. Branden’s heart twinged with guilt for making her wait so long. He squatted down to face Catherine, saying, “Why aren’t you going inside?”

Branden had replaced the front door with a fingerprint lock to for Catherine and had recorded her fingerprint for easy access.

Because he knew that Catherine didn’t. like carrying keys. When Catherine heard him, she looked up and calmly responded, “Too lazy.”

Branden couldn’t help but chuckle. His girl was incredibly cute. Actually, the reason Catherine sat right in front of the door and didn’t bother unlocking it, even though she had the ability to do so, was simply because she knew Branden would arrive very soon. If he was coming right away, why bother hurrying?

Well, she could aways relied on Branden! Branden reached out and gently stroked Catherine’s hair, his eyes filled with tenderness as he looked at her. ” Alright, let me open the door.”

“Click!”

The door was open. Branden had just stood up when he turned back to squat down. He simply reached out and picked her up, not giving Catherine a chance to react.

“I bet you’re too lazy to walk, aren’t you?”

Catherine leaned on him silently, but the slight smile on her lips showed how she felt. Branden put her on her favorite reclining sofa, so that she could relax.

Meanwhile, he began to prepare ingredients in the kitchen. They talked casually, like any regular couple, showing their warm affection without making a big show of it. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Why are you back so early today?” Branden asked. At this time, Catherine’s classes should have just ended. That’s why Branden had returned home later than Catherine. He didn’t know she had skipped her classes.

“I had to go out for something this afternoon and came back as soon as I got your message,” Catherine quickly replied. Branden didn’t dig further.

Catherine had her own life, and they didn’t have to spill everything. Sharing everything wouldn’t improve their relationship but make things more complex.

Branden got some fruit ready and placed it nearby for her to grab easily.

“Don’t eat too much fruit. We’ll have dinner later!”

“Okay!” Catherine nodded obediently. Branden always did this, offering her a variety of fruits but not letting her eat too much, claiming it might spoil her appetite for dinner!

Branden went into the kitchen, and shortly after, his phone in his pocket started ringing. Once the call connected, Paxton’s voice sounded cold as he said, “Mr. Duncan, I’ve got some information.”
