All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 242 Ronin’s Absence

After Audrey realized the situation, she expressed her gratitude to Branden. Audrey learned from Branden that Catherine had already gone to sleep in the guest room. Although Audrey wasn’t as clever as Catherine, she could discern Branden’s intentions from his words.

It seemed he had no intention of letting her take Catherine away. To put Audrey at ease, Branden had even generously invited her inside to check on her sister.

Audrey cast a quick glance at the sleeping Catherine from afar to ensure her safety. Then she returned to her own room. However, after that, Audrey’s heart was still unsettled. She didn’t have the courage to disturb Branden.

After all, Branden had done nothing wrong. He had kindly taken in her sister and provided her with a guest room. It would be ungrateful for Audrey to appear overly suspicious. She had a sense of ingratitude.

Then Audrey struggled the entire night, being half-awake, half-asleep. She held out until Catherine finally rang the doorbell.

The sound of the doorbell startled Audrey awake. After she rushed to open the door, she was relieved to see Catherine safe and sound. “Kathy, were you okay last night?”

Catherine didn’t quite understand Audrey’s meaning. “Why wouldn’t I be?

Audrey carefully observed Catherine’s condition, which seemed perfectly fine. Realizing that this topic might not be friendly to Catherine, who was still a student, Audrey didn’t press further.

She awkwardly smiled and waved her hand. “It’s nothing. I’m just asking casually. It’s getting late. You should change clothes quickly. I’ll make you some breakfast, and you have class later.”

Catherine stood up and walked toward her room without looking back. “No need to make breakfast. Branden already prepared it.”

The sound of the bedroom door closing made Audrey instantly alert. She realized that Branden made breakfast for her sister. Branden had personally cooked despite being the head of the Duncans.
