All Her Secrets

Branden was still in place without leaving, and Catherine walked over toward him. Seeing her walk over, the expression on Branden’s handsome face remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened.

Paxton stood over him. There was a set of cleaning tools in his hands. Branden sidled up to a hot towel that had just been sterilized. He took Catherine’s hand that was hanging at her side.

Catherine didn’t resist, allowing him to wipe her hands clean with the hot towel. Her gaze followed the man’s movements, which were gentle but meticulous. He wiped every corner of her hands clean.

Catherine’s hands were fair-skinned and tender, and her palms were soft like that of babies. But at that moment, her smooth palm had a red mark.

The original simple red mark was a little too red and purple against her fair -skinned palm, and Branden narrowed his eyes suddenly. Catherine sensed it. She didn’t move, waiting to see what Branden would say.

His eyebrows furrowed, and his tone showed a hint of heartache. “Next time, you should wrap a piece of cloth around your palm to protect it. Or else, you can order Paxton to do it for you.”

After saying that, he added, “Although Paxton isn’t as dexterous as you, he wouldn’t be too inferior if you gave him some suggestions!”

Paxton, who was standing at the side, was somewhat speechless. So, what exactly did he do wrong?

He was okay with being treated as a tool man, but he was compared with others and despised. Wasn’t it too hard to be a tool man in the world now?

Listening to Branden’s sage advice as if being nagged by a little old man, the corners of Catherine’s mouth involuntarily curled upward. “I’ll remember it!”

Seeing her speak so obediently, Branden handed Paxton the dirty towel and took her toward the private room. “It’s great then!”

Aidan was completely stunned! He hadn’t even returned to his senses from the scene where Catherine had just whipped her brother and was once again shocked by Branden.
