Chapter 397 I’ll Stay With You

Branden left, and Paxton was naturally the one to deal with the mess. Paxton watched his subordinates running toward him with astonished looks and knew that things were not simple.

His brows knitted tightly as he asked his subordinates, “What happened in there?”

One of his subordinates dared not answer but lowered his head and said to Paxton, “Paxton, you should see it yourself.”

Paxton strode to the culvert and understood why his experienced subordinates would have such dumbfounded looks.

Paxton saw the enemies passed out on the ground in various abnormal postures. He could not help but have the shivers. He even started to feel sorry for the enemies.

Paxton did not expect Catherine, who looked so delicate, to be cruel and merciless. Paxton decided never to offend Catherine in the future.

Seeing the scene before him, Paxton suddenly considered himself lucky. He was glad Branden was important to Catherine so she would show Paxton, Carlo, and Cory mercy during their fight. Otherwise, the three Duncans might end up like that as well.

After Catherine returned home to put her things down, she headed to Branden’s place. She took a shower and changed her clothes before lying down in bed. Catherine tossed and turned, feeling something wrong.

She mulled over it and finally realized what was wrong. She got out of bed and walked out of the room. Branden was still busy at work with his laptop in the living room.

Hearing footsteps, Branden looked over his shoulder. Catherine wore the pajamas he picked for her and stood nearby like a fragile little girl.

She did not have the usual aggressive aura about her, nor did she have the brutality she possessed during fights. She was like a little princess who was pretty, innocent, and lovely.

Branden’s Adam’s apple moved automatically, and he stood up and walked toward Catherine.
