All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 864 What Do You Mean?

Catherine and Audrey arrived back at the apartment to find Triston waiting at the door, evidently exhausted.

Audrey instinctively wanted to bolt, but then she realized Catherine was by her side, and suddenly Audrey found her backbone. Instead of running away, she followed Catherine into the building.

As they approached, Triston lit up. ” Audrey, you’re back,” he said hopefully.

Audrey glanced at him, then quickly turned to follow Catherine inside. Triston hurried after them, but Audrey shot him a warning look. “Don’t even think about it. Kathy is right here, and she’ll knock you out if you try anything.

Triston looked at Audrey with pleading eyes.

Catherine couldn’t help but chuckle at Audreyr’s bravado. She turned to Audrey and said coolly, ” Escape is not an option. Better to talk things out.” With that, Catherine walked inside, deliberately leaving the door ajar for Audrey to make a choice.

Silenced by Catherine’s words, Audrey stood there, conflicted. Triston made a move to reach for her hand, but she reflexively snapped it away, throwing him into confusion and hurt.

“I messed up. Punish me if you want, but please don’t avoid me. I’ll take any punishment if it’ll make you feel better, “Triston pleaded, his voice filled with remorse.

Audrey sighed deeply.

Once inside, Catherine received a call from Branden. Audrey’s arrival had been so sudden that Catherine forgot to tell him she didn’t need a ride. “I’m at Audrey’s,” she informed him.

Branden’s voice came through the phone, tinged with resignation. “Again?
