All Her Secrets

Chapter 866 Fishing for Information?

In the living room, Catherine sprawled on the sofa, her long legs casually resting on the coffee table. Across from her, Audrey sat straight-backed, hands on her knees, appearing like a schoolgirl ready to be lectured. To any outsider, it would be hard to believe that the commanding Catherine was the younger sister while the attentive Audrey, seemingly awaiting instruction, was the elder.

After Catherine’s silent entrance, Audrey, unsure of Catherine’s thoughts, bit her lip nervously. After much deliberation, she decided to speak up, tentatively asking, ” Catherine, do you disapprove of me dating Brian?”

Catherine slowly turned her head towards Audrey, replying leisurely, “I don’t meddle in your affairs.”

Audrey trusted Catherine’s word; unless she sought help, Catherine never interfered. With a sigh of resignation, Audrey cautiously admitted, “I don’t know how to say this, but I’m dating Brian now.”

Catherine gave her an extra glance at the serious proclamation. “Planning to get married?”

Audrey was taken aback and quickly dismissed the idea. “No! Brian just blurted it out. We’ve only just made it official. Marriage is still a long way off. I’m not rushing into it and currently have no thoughts on it.”
