All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 913 Drown Her Sorrows

“Keep it from Catherine for now. I’ll tell her once everything is settled.” With that, Branden hung up the phone, feeling exhausted from the intense work in recent days. He pinched the bridge of his nose and stood up immediately when he remembered Catherine was still outside on the couch.

As he opened the door, he saw Catherine walking towards the study, which caught him off guard. “When did you wake up?” he asked.

Catherine noticed the fleeting anxiety in Branden’s eyes, but she pretended not to have seen anything. “I thought I saw a figure in my dreams and thought it was you coming back, so I woke up,” she replied.

Branden looked at her tired eyes and the appearance of someone not fully awake, reached out, and pulled Catherine into his arms, holding her tightly. “Do you want to sleep a little longer?” he asked.

Catherine nestled against his chest and shook her head. “Have you not eaten yet? I can keep you company.”

Catherine guessed correctly. Branden had worked without eating just to come back to the apartment as soon as possible.

Styre University was located on the outskirts of the city, while the Duncan Corporation’s office building was in the downtown financial district. Despite the nearly one-hour drive from the office to the apartment, Branden had chosen to stay here so that Catherine could be closer to her school.

Although Catherine offered to accompany Branden for a meal, he was the one who ended up cooking. It was getting late, so Branden only cooked some pasta and two side dishes. He was becoming more adept in the kitchen and quickly prepared the food, setting it on the table. When Catherine reached out to help, he bypassed her. “It’s hot. I’ve got this,” he said.”
