All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 79 Why Not?

Audrey suddenly realized that Catherine had been refusing to respond as she was standing up for her. Audrey nodded repeatedly and said, “I’m sure. She had apologized to us, and I think that’s enough.”

“Okay, it is up to you,” Catherine said coolly and flung Branden a look. Without Branden asking, Paxton arranged for the security guards who were guarding the shop door to part.

Josh said to Catherine with gratitude, “Thank you, Miss Swann, for forgiving us. Let us know if you need our family to do anything for you. We are leaving now. Sorry to bother you today.”

He was somewhat curious about the reason.

The Catherine he knew would never force herself to do anything she did not want to.

Branden thought Catherine was indulging Audrey and not just tolerating her.

Audrey seemed to occupy an important position in Catherine’s heart.
