Chapter 958 Fate Is Unfair

Catherine and Branden walked hand in hand out of the courtyard. Thomas noticed them first. He nudged Karl and said with contentment, "Karl, you might not be much, but your grandson is quite nice. He matches well with Cassie."

Karl felt a bit displeased. He was about to retort. But upon careful consideration, he thought Thomas's words, though not pleasant, were somewhat accurate. Uncharacteristically, he didn't argue and instead nodded in agreement. "Catherine is exceptional. Otherwise, I

wouldn't have agreed to Vicente's proposal so readily and made the betrothal for Branden early on," Karl said.

Branden lightly patted her hand to ease her. He asked, "Has dinner started?"

Thomas's attention was immediately redirected. He smiled at Catherine. "Cassie, are you hungry?

Catherine, in cooperation with Branden's hint, nodded. "A bit."

Thomas promptly stood up. "I'll go to the kitchen and urge Aaron. I'll also lend him a hand." And so, Thomas left.
