Chapter 173 The Rumors

It was clear that Catherine’s question was directed at Branden. Branden knew it too, and so he turned to look at Catherine.

“Are you full?” Branden inquired in a deep voice. Catherine nodded silently. She decided that if Branden had any further business to be done over here, she would leave first.

To her surprise, Branden stood up after she nodded. He even took the initiative to help Catherine with her coat. It made everyone present stunned as this was unusual for him. Usually, others would be helping him.
