All Her Secrets

Paxton returned to the living room, followed by a sturdy man who looked somewhat overbearing and seemed to be tough to deal with. The man shot a glance at everyone with a cold face.

When his gaze crossed Catherine, his eyes glinted. His eyes lit up instantly as if a flash of bright light went through the clouded sky.

“Catherine!”

Catherine looked at him with narrowed eyes and beckoned him to the empty seat aside. “Take a seat!”

Withal sat down as he was told and then settled his excited gaze on Catherine.

“Catherine, you’ve been away for three weeks. Now, you’re finally back.

“You know what, I’ve really had enough of Ronin. He didn’t dare to contact you, so he kept pushing me. He called me every day, asking me when you would come back.”

Catherine couldn’t be bothered to respond to Withal’s chattering. Withal babbled for a while and noticed that Catherine didn’t give any response at all. So, he shut his mouth and kept quiet.

Catherine was good-tempered, but if she flared up, she would be rather terrifying. So, he just stopped talking.

“Catherine, you’ve just come back. You must be tired, right? I’ll leave you to take some rest!”

As soon as Withal stopped talking, a servant came to report the arrival of a visitor. Paxton looked at Withal and raised his brows at the latter.

Withal immediately replied, “Don’t look at me. It has nothing to do with me. I came here alone. I didn’t even tell Ronin about this.”

Afraid that Ronin might immediately ask for leave and come to Oceanvile after knowing Catherine had come back, Withal didn’t dare to tell him about it.

With suspicion, Paxton got out of the living room. A few minutes later, Paxton led the visitor to the living room. This visitor was also here to meet Catherine. It was Erick. With his arms around Catherine’s shoulders, Branden cast a casual glance at Paxton.

Paxton felt so frightened that he shivered all over. He wasn’t sure whether he had leaked the news about Catherine. Why did everyone know their whereabouts?

It might be Catherine who informed Withal about her return. Could it be that Catherine also informed Erick?
