All Her Secrets

In the dessert shop, Catherine was still seated on the side, engrossed in playing the game. Ronin and Edson sat across from her. Seeing Edson not leaving, Ronin decided to join him.

He divided the cake and placed it in front of Catherine. “Catherine, try it when you have time. It tastes really good!” Not to be outdone, Edson presented his gift and affectionately said, “Cassie, this is a bracelet. From the moment I saw it, | felt it was perfect for you!” Without responding to either of them, Catherine skillfully manipulated the buttons on her phone. In a moment of leisure, she picked up a fork, scooped a spoonful of cake, and tasted it.

Observing Catherine enjoying the cake, Ronin couldn't help but feel proud. He glanced at Edson with a smug expression.

“Ronin, you're still as childish as ever!” Edson said nonchalantly.

This remark almost broke Ronin’s composure. Angry but managing to suppress his emotions, Ronin retorted to Edson, “Compared to your pestering, my immaturity is at least appreciated, isn't it?” They had known each other for many years, and Catherine had always favored Ronin over Edson. In Ronin’s eyes, Edson’s jealousy stemmed from this. He was envious of Ronin because he was not as favored.

The next moment, Edson’s expression changed. Even though it was subtle and probably unnoticeable to the others, Ronin noticed it.

Seeing Edson upset, Ronin felt as if he had won a MEE 1 the gended, Catherine casually tossed her phone aside. Everyone eagerly watched as Catherine prepared to speak.

Edson seemed a bit nervous, unsure of how Catherine would react. Usually proud, he felt uncertain in Catherine's presence.

“Kathy!” Suddenly, a familiar voice caught Catherine’s attention. She instinctively turned her head, and those around her followed suit.

At that moment, many held their breaths, awestruck. “Wow, he’s so handsome!” they exclaimed in their mind.
