All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 240 Live Together
Originally, the group had planned to spend the night at Grayson’s villa, but Ronin had some last-minute business to attend to and
needed to leave early. Catherine found it a bit boring and decided to leave early as well.
When she suggested it, Branden wouldn’t refuse. The two most important people were leaving, and the others also found it
uninteresting and decided to leave.
So they all naturally dispersed. Bryan had originally intended to take Yesenia home. But as Yesenia saw Catherine left with
Branden in his car, she insisted on going with them. In front of her idol, Yesenia didn’t even fear her scary uncle.
She directly let go of Bryan’s hand and rushed over to Catherine. Then she smiled sweetly at Branden, who was standing by
Catherine.
“Branden, I know you’re going to drive Catherine home. I want to go with you. After you drop off Catherine, I’ll go back with you.”
Yesenia had planned everything, even what she wanted to learn from Catherine during the drive. Unfortunately, no matter how
perfectly she planned, it couldn’t become a reality.
Branden gave her a cold look and said, ” It’s not on the way. Then he opened the car door and gently helped Catherine into the
car. With a sharp slam, the car door closed.
Yesenia was left outside the car without any mercy by him. Yesenia felt resentful. She thought inwardly, “Why isn’t it on the way?
“Can’t I go see my grandfather tonight?
She wanted to confront Branden about this. It was a family matter after all, and Bryan had no reason to stand by and watch his
cousin walk into danger without intervening.
Then Bryan grabbed Yesenia and pulled her back. Yesenia turned around and looked at Bryan with resentment. She felt he was
ruining her chance to get close to Catherine. “What are you doing? Let me go. If you don’t release me soon, Branden’s car is
going to leave.”
Bryan rolled his eyes at Yesenia in silence. He thought inwardly, “How can my cousin be so foolish?”
Then he asked, “Didn’t you hear Branden say it’s not on the way?”

“Why isn’t it on the way? Can’t I go to Grandpa’s house?”
Yesenia argued vigorously. She was eager to catch up to Branden’s car. However, Bryan’s next words completely shocked her.
“Branden doesn’t live at the old mansion anymore. Catherine.” He lives with Bryan only said that they lived together, without
specifying whether it meant living in the same house. If others misunderstood, that wasn’t his concern.
After hearing that, Yesenia was stunned. Yesenia turned back and looked at Bryan with astonishment. Her eyes were filled with
disbelief.
She glanced at the others nearby. They all remained calm and showed no surprise. It seemed like everyone knew this news
except for her.
This was embarrassing. Yesenia stayed silent for a moment. Then she muttered quietly, “Branden is such an old fox. He actually
seduced Catherine into living together. It’s really inhumane.”
The people standing behind her were speechless. After all, it was Yesenia who had always idolized Branden the most since she
was a child. But now she seemed to be having a change of heart.
It just went to show that women could be quite fickle. As soon as Catherine got into the car, she fell asleep. When the car came
to a stop, she was still resting and didn’t even show the slightest intention of moving.
However, Branden pampered her and didn’t need her to say a word. He simply reached out and lifted her body. Then he carried
her upstairs.
Catherine realized that having Branden as her neighbor had its perks. At least she could comfortably treat him as her personal
mover, without a hint of guilt. Branden could directly carry her from the car to upstairs.
As the elevator doors opened, Catherine gracefully got rid of Branden’s arms without him having to say a word.
He barely managed to reach out and hold her waist. He cautioned her, “Take it slow.”
Although Branden knew that, given her agility, there was no chance of her stumbling, he couldn’t help but remind her.
Catherine turned to him with a faint smile. It made her already exquisite face appear even more radiant, which filled anyone who
looked at her with joy.
“I got it,” she replied lazily.

Although her voice was soft and gentle, it was sweet. Branden was tickled by her voice. He lowered his eyes and intentionally
avoided eye contact.
Sensing the man’s subtle change, Catherine waved at him contentedly and turned to reach into her pocket for her keys. As she
reached in, she realized she had left her keys on the shoe rack when she left in the morning.
At that time, she had thought Audrey was home, so she hadn’t been in a rush. She immediately pulled out her phone and dialed
Audrey’s number. After a few rings, the call was quickly answered.
“Kathy, is there something you need?” Audrey asked.
“Where are you?” Catherine inquired. Audrey found it a bit odd that Catherine was calling her at this hour, which wasn’t usual.
“I’m on set, shooting a scene. I’m waiting for the next take. Do you need something? I probably won’t be back until tonight.”
Hearing that Audrey was on set, Catherine abandoned the idea of asking her to come back. Audrey was at the peak of her
career, and filming was her top priority. There was no need to disrupt Audrey’s work for her own sake.
Catherine casually made up an excuse and let her sister off the hook before hanging up the phone.
Branden didn’t leave. He stayed by the side and waited for Catherine to hang up the phone. He spoke slowly, “You forgot your
keys?”
Though she didn’t want to admit it, Catherine nodded obediently. Branden walked toward his unit and unlocked the door with his
fingerprint. Then he leaned against the door frame and looked at Catherine tenderly. He extended an invitation.
“Come on. Go inside and wait.”
He didn’t want to appear too eager. He wanted to avoid scaring Catherine into thinking he had ulterior motives for moving next
door.
Catherine didn’t make a fuss. Standing at the door and waiting for Audrey to come back in the evening was less comfortable
than going inside his house. She walked briskly toward Branden. But Branden grabbed her hand and stopped her at the door.
Catherine looked up in confusion, while Branden lowered his head in silence to work on the keypad lock on the door.
Then he took Catherine’s hand and pressed her slender fingers against the fingerprint scanner. A mechanical prompt sounded.”
Fingerprint added successfully.”

Only then did Branden release Catherine’s fingers and lead her inside. Throughout the process, he gave her advice cautiously
and patiently.
“If you forget your keys in the future, just come straight here. Don’t wait at the door.”
Branden couldn’t bear to see Catherine suffer. Catherine didn’t respond. She looked around the room and examined the layout
and decor.
Branden’s personal taste was quite distinctive. The design of this room was identical to his room in the Duncans’.
It was all done in black, white, and gray tones, which combined coldness and strictness with understated luxury. Although it
leaned toward cold, it was particularly comfortable for Catherine. Branden pulled Catherine to sit on the sofa. He knew her nature
too well.
She didn’t like standing and preferred to lounge around when she had nothing to do. “Sit and take your time to tour around. I’ll go
prepare some food for you.”
Catherine looked at him in surprise and asked, “You can cook?”
A faintly indulgent smile appeared on Branden’s handsome face. He raised an eyebrow and winked at Catherine.”
Why don’t you wait and see?”
