All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 16 She’s Incomprehensible
Catherine followed Mr. David into an inner chamber, where the decoration was elegant, and no one would bother them.
Catherine walked to a chair and sat down. Mr. David stood by her side, bowing and wearing a respectful look.

Catherine beamed. She did not know that had worried David.
