All Her Secrets

It was clear that Catherine’s question was directed at Branden. Branden knew it too, and so he turned to look at Catherine.

“Are you full?” Branden inquired in a deep voice. Catherine nodded silently. She decided that if Branden had any further business to be done over here, she would leave first.

To her surprise, Branden stood up after she nodded. He even took the initiative to help Catherine with her coat. It made everyone present stunned as this was unusual for him. Usually, others would be helping him.

Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Triston became anxious. He finally came to his senses and decided to indulge himself after resting for many days. Hence, he set up this gathering.

They had only just started eating, and now Branden wanted to leave. “Mr. Duncan, Catherine, why don’t you stay a bit longer?”

Upon hearing this, the two paused in their steps. Catherine looked at Branden, indicating that he could stay. Branden turned and glanced at Triston with his cold eyes, but his voice was surprisingly gentle. “She has to get up early tomorrow.”

With just one sentence, Triston felt goosebumps all over his body. Branden’s behavior made Triston jealous. Triston thought, “Having a girlfriend, is it impressive?

“Understanding her thoughts without her needing to say it out loud. Is it impressive?

“Understanding your girlfriend’s every move. Is it impressive?

“Well then. He is indeed impressive.”

Triston stared at their receding figures with a face full of frustration. He frowned uncontrollably. This display of affection made him lose his appetite. The dishes on the table no longer seemed appetizing.

Aidan rested his chin on his hand and asked, “Mr. Lambert, how did Mr. Duncan become such a devoted boyfriend? I don’t get it. It’s strange.”

Triston shot him a disdainful look and mockingly retorted, “It would be stranger if you would understand what happened.”
