All Her Secrets

Chapter 808 Quarrel

Catherine sensed the anger hidden in Branden’s eyes, and she knew he was upset.

“I was just next door, and you couldn’t even bother to inform me?” said Branden.

Catherine didn’t know how to respond. If she wanted to make excuses, she could come up with a flawless one, leaving no room for criticism. However, she didn’t want to lie to Branden.

Looking at Catherine, who remained silent, Branden felt a mixture of disappointment and deep concern.

He thought that after all this time, he had successfully entered Catherine’s heart. But once again, he was disappointed.

Initially, he planned to turn and leave, leaving her alone to reflect. However, unable to make that decision, he approached and pulled her into his arms.

The moment he embraced Catherine, warmth instantly enveloped her. Her cold heart gradually thawed, and her icy gaze softened.

But the next moment, she heard him whispering in her ear, gritting his teeth. “Catherine, do you even have a heart? Even if your heart is made of stone, it should have warmed up by now. Why are you still unwilling to open up?”

His sharp words caused Catherine’s recently warmed heart to plunge back into an icy abyss. Catherine pushed Branden away and turned to leave directly.

Branden wanted to catch up but couldn’t match Catherine’s speed. Catherine disappeared without a trace.

Seeing Branden coming out alone with a gloomy face, Paxton and the others understood that things had taken a serious turn. They were scared stiff, even slowing down their breathing.

Sensing the tense atmosphere, Zobber risked danger and said, “Mr. Duncan, actually, it’s not Catherine’s fault. When I notified her, we were already on the move. You know Catherine. On the surface, she seems cold, but she values relationships a lot. She was just worried about us, so she didn’t have time to notify you before coming out. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Don’t be angry with Catherine.”

After hearing Zobber’s words, Paxton silently applauded her in his mind. ” She’s really bold and daring,” he thought.
