All Her Secrets

Initially, the servants thought only Branden and Catherine would return to the villa. Unexpectedly, so many people came along.

Plus Withal and Erick, who came uninvited, there were quite some people in the villa now. Just as well the villa was big enough. It wouldn’t be crowded even if more than a hundred people lived in the villa.

Everyone knew that Catherine would leave Oceanvile the next day, so they all wanted to treat her to dinner. As they insisted on staying and badgering Catherine, Branden looked livid with sullen eyes.

Yet, they were all Catherine’s friends. He had taken great pains to win Catherine’s forgiveness. Of course, he didn’t dare to mess with Catherine again now. Although he didn’t dare to piss off Catherine, he couldn’t let Catherine eat out with them.

“How about having a barbecue tonight?

Branden stared at Catherine gently with affection in his eyes, waiting for her reply. Catherine spent three weeks on Scorpion Island, where she had plenty of healthy meals and never had any barbecue.

If Branden didn’t bring it up, she wouldn’t think of it. Now that Branden mentioned it, she couldn’t get it off her mind.

“Okay, let’s have a barbecue!”

Hearing Catherine’s merry tone, Branden knew that Catherine was very satisfied with his arrangement.

Branden looked somewhat pleased.

Sure enough, he was the one who knew best about Catherine’s taste. Having received Branden’s hint, Paxton immediately got up to prepare materials for the barbecue.

As for the others, since Catherine didn’t want to go out, they would stay here to eat with her. All they wanted was to be with her.

Paxton got everything ready quickly. The table was full of Catherine’s favorite materials, which were all the freshest on the market. They all looked delicious and mouth-watering.

When the fire was lit up, Branden rose and took Catherine to start eating.

As Catherine sat down, the others all rushed forward. Scott was the one who acted fastest. He directly sat on the left side of Catherine and smiled complacently as if he had won a contest.

The other people all looked at each other and rolled their eyes at Scott inwardly. He was merely a young man. They wouldn’t take him to heart. Withal took a glance at Branden and met the latter’s gaze. Immediately, Withal lowered his head.
