All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 642 A Good Match for Catherine
Branden heard Catherine suddenly change her mind, and his bright eyes lifted, staring straight at her.
"Because of me?" he asked.
Catherine didn't deny it. It was a fact that she returned to Loxton early because of Branden, and there was no need to deny it.
Branden received the news in the morning that Edson had launched an attack on the Duncan Corporation. On Paxton's side, everything was proceeding smoothly according to the previous deployment, and he had nothing to worry about.
But he was pleased knowing that Catherine was worried for him and had even changed her plans. It indicated a steady rise in his position in Catherine's heart.
Branden looked at Catherine in a good mood. "If it's for me, there's really no need. You focus on your matters and don't need to worry on my end."
Although the Breens were powerful, Branden didn't regard them highly. If they really moved against the Duncans, even if the Breens put their best foot forward, they might be unable to bring down the Duncans completely.
Seeing his confidence, Catherine didn't continue. After dinner, she asked
Branden to take her to the laboratory.
Rodge anxiously waited at the laboratory's door, worried that Catherine might not show up. His heart finally settled when he saw her.
"Catherine, yesterday's test results are out. It's indeed as you said-the
experiment data had a deviation, causing the infinite loop failure of the
experiment."
Catherine nodded toward him and then turned to Branden behind her. "I'll contact you after I finish the experiment."
After getting a response, Branden left feeling reassured.
The experiment calculations continued until the next morning, which was quite normal for the laboratory.
Experiments were long and tedious, often causing researchers to stay awake for days and nights, fully immersed in the laboratory.
After a sleepless night, both Catherine and Rodge were still energetic. They had become accustomed to these days without a sense of time.
Rodge's mood was evidently high. The problem that had tormented him for a week was easily solved after Catherine appeared.
"Catherine, do you have to leave so soon? I still want to consult you on a few more questions, or maybe you could stay another day."
Every time Catherine had to leave, he felt exceptionally reluctant. Catherine was his guiding light. When he encountered problems, only Catherine could easily help him out of trouble.
Catherine didn't hesitate and directly rejected Rodge's suggestion. "I have other matters. I'm leaving."
Rodge could only bid farewell reluctantly.
At the laboratory's entrance, Branden's car had been waiting. When Catherine appeared, he immediately got out of the car, took off his trench coat, and draped it over her.
The morning breeze carried a slight chill, but the trench coat, just taken off from the man, carried the man's body heat and instantly warmed Catherine's heart.
After getting into the car, Catherine made a request. "To the airport, back to Loxton," she said.
Branden's face was stern, and he frowned. "In such a hurry? We can go today, but you should rest for a while before heading back."
Catherine hadn't slept all night and now had to go to the airport to catch a flight. Such a schedule would be too harmful to her body, and Branden wouldn't allow her to harm herself like that.
Catherine knew what Branden was thinking and casually said, "It's just one night without sleep."
When they trained in the wilderness, they often went for days and nights without closing their eyes. What was worse was that they had to carry heavy loads through desolate places. They had come through just fine.
This was nothing compared to that.
"I want to rest in the apartment." No matter how good Oceanvile was, the residence wasn't an apartment personally arranged by Branden. She was used to the apartment, and nowhere else felt as comfortable.
Catherine insisted, and Branden had to go along with her, arranging for the car to go to the airport directly to fly back to Loxton.
The driver changed direction and headed straight to the airport.
"Everything's arranged. Lie down and rest for a while." Branden embraced
Catherine, letting her rest on his thigh.
Catherine obediently lay down, closed her eyes, and rested for a while.
From the airport to boarding the plane, Branden held Catherine the entire way.
He even demanded a special passage to board the aircraft as quickly as possible to let Catherine sleep peacefully.
When Catherine opened her eyes again, she was already on the large bed in the apartment.
It was somewhat unbelievable for someone who usually had shallow sleep to remain asleep throughout the journey from the plane to the apartment.
She lifted the covers and got out of bed.
Branden was not at home. There was a note on the table left by him. He had gone to the office, and food was arranged on the table for her.
While eating the meal Branden prepared for her, Catherine played with her phone. Soon, Ronin sent a message asking when she would return to Loxton.
Catherine directly called him and said, " Come to the apartment." And without waiting for Ronin's reply, Catherine hung up the phone without hesitation. Half an hour later, the doorbell of the apartment rang. Catherine got up to open the door, and there stood Ronin.

Rodge sent numerous messages seeking help. He thought things were serious,
but Catherine returned so quickly.
He wasn't sure if Rodge was making a big deal out of nothing or if Catherine was
just too powerful.
"Come in." Catherine returned to the room, sat at the dining table, and leisurely
finished the remaining food.

Catherine glanced in the direction of the kitchen. "Forks are in there. Help
yourself."
"Okay!" Ronin got up happily to take a fork and returned quickly.
The dishes on the table looked not only appetizing, but Ronin tried them and
found that they tasted even better.
"Catherine, which restaurant did you order this food from? It tastes really good. I
want to go there next time."
Catherine casually said, "Branden cooked it."
Ronin paused, unconsciously swallowing the large piece of meat. He almost
choked on it.
He took a big gulp of water, struggled to swallow, and then looked at Catherine
with an incredulous face.
"Catherine, Mr. Duncan's cooking skills are unexpectedly good!"
"Yeah," Catherine replied casually. She then explained, "Practice makes perfect."

In her words, there was a hint of
pride. Ronin noticed it, and thinking that Branden practiced cooking for Catherine, he became happier. The content is on Popsnovel.com! Read the latest chapter there!
"This man is quite reliable, a good match for Catherine," he said inwardly.
