All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 319 A Glutton

Before returning, Branden had considered asking Catherine why she appeared at the underground boxing gym and even inquiring about her intentions in taking Erick away.

However, he abandoned all those thoughts when he saw Catherine’s smile. There was no need to question these things. After all, Catherine trusted him so much and surrendered immediately.

Branden reached out and gently caressed Catherine’s beautiful face with his long fingers. His voice also softened instantly. “Are you hungry?”

Catherine had rushed to the black market right after school and hadn’t eaten anything. If Branden hadn’t mentioned it, she would have forgotten that she hadn’t eaten.

She subconsciously moved her face closer to his hand and rubbed her cheek against his palm for some reason. She was just like a kitten seeking affection from its owner.

The slight touch felt electrifying. It made Branden’s heart instantly restless. In front of Catherine, Branden’s once- proud self-control could easily crumble.

“Be good and wait here for me. I’ll go prepare something for you.”

As she watched Branden flee, Catherine smiled faintly. It was amusing. Catherine had clearly seen the fire in his eyes just moments ago.

Branden worked quickly. In just ten minutes, he had prepared a bowl of fragrant pasta with tomato sauce. Catherine followed the scent to him without needing an invitation.

Upon closer inspection, the sauce was indeed red, but it was obvious there was no spiciness at all. Instantly, Catherine frowned.

Branden didn’t need to guess. He knew exactly what was on Catherine’s mind. He gently handed Catherine a fork he had brought out.
