All Her Secrets

Before Branden talked about the barbecue, Catherine felt nothing. Now that he brought it up, she realized she was rather hungry.

She did not consent immediately but looked playfully at Branden and said sarcastically, “I thought you could not eat such heavy food.”

Branden took half a step forward and leaned closer to Catherine. They were so close to each other.

On Branden’s handsome face was a slightly mischievous and charming grin. His voice was low and magnetic as he spoke. “Kathy, are you showing concern for me?”

The warm breath gently caressed the back of Catherine’s ears, which were her sensitive spot. It instantly brought bursts of tingling sensation to her, and her heart skipped a beat. This man was damn seductive!

Audrey was walking out of the shop and wanted to ask Catherine to come in when she saw Catherine and Branden standing so close to one another.

Afraid that she would scream out loud, Audrey hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands. She wondered if Catherine and Branden were kissing.

But that was too big a step for them!

Audrey caught a glimpse of Paxton standing stupidly like a block of wood nearby and reached out to drag him away. She gave Paxton a dissatisfied look and whispered, “What are you doing? Aren’t you aware that it’s rude to stare at them?”

Paxton was confused and thought less of Audrey. “Is the eldest daughter of the Swanns a fool?

A moment later, Catherine came to herself. She took a big step back. She was nearly enchanted by Branden earlier.

Feeling her face burning, Catherine had to recite the periodic table in her heart several times to force herself to calm down.

Branden stood before her with one hand in his pocket. He stared pointedly at her without any avoidance in his eyes.

“Kathy, are you shy?”

Catherine raised her head and looked at the man opposite with displeasure. Why did Audrey and Branden love calling her “Kathy”? Was the nickname “Kathy” that lovely?

She warned Branden with a stony face and irritation in her eyes. “Do not call me that!”
