All Her Secrets

Chapter 799 Happy Forever
When Catherine emerged from the laboratory building, the sky outside had already turned dark. If it weren't for Marshall urging her to leave, she would have planned to finish her work from the previous night.
Glancing at the time on her phone, Catherine realized it was already past dinner time, and the curfew was approaching. Considering Isabella usually went to bed early, she decided to leave the campus to grab something to eat before returning to her apartment. If she had time, she planned to make a trip to see Connie.
With Withal and Zobber likely recovered by now, Catherine could have them do some work to keep them from getting bored.
Just as Catherine stepped out of the gate, she spotted the familiar black Bentley. It had been a while since she had seen it, and she felt a twinge of longing. She walked straight toward the car.
Paxton had been keeping an eye on the gate. When he noticed Catherine's appearance, he promptly informed the person in the back seat. "Boss, Miss Swann is here."
The words "Miss Swann" caused Branden, who had been dozing, to immediately open his bloodshot eyes, which tugged at Paxton's heart. In order to return to see Catherine as soon as possible, Branden hadn't slept for three days. Initially, they had planned to return tomorrow, but after finishing his business, Branden immediately took a special plane back to Loxton. Branden didn't disturb her after arriving at the school and learning that Catherine was still in the laboratory. Instead, he chose to wait for her in the car.
When Branden saw Catherine, his tired eyes immediately lit up with joy. He concealed his fatigue, showing no signs of weariness. He straightened his clothes, opened the car door, and got out. Just as he steadied himself, Catherine approached him.
Catherine stood with her arms crossed, staring at Branden with an indiscernible look in her eyes.

Shouldn't you be back the day after tomorrow? How come you're here today?"
Upon hearing Catherine's question, Branden curled lips into a tender and indulgent smile. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her towards himself. Then, he said, "I'm just like a Superman when I work. What takes an ordinary person three days to finish, I can handle it in a few hours."
Branden's words made sense. But his workload probably exceeded more than just three days for an ordinary person.
After helping Catherine into the car, Branden followed suit, staying close to her as if unwilling to be apart for even a moment.
"Are we heading back to the apartment? "Catherine asked.
"Not yet. Let's grab something to eat before going back," he replied.
Catherine knew that if they went back to the apartment now, Branden would definitely personally cook for her, regardless of whether she had eaten dinner or not. Although he concealed it very well, she could still see the weariness in his eyes.
When Catherine suggested going out to eat, Branden immediately agreed, saying, "Sure."
Paxton started the car, and the black Bentley slowly moved through the night. It was getting late, and Catherine didn't want to eat too much for dinner, so she chose a small restaurant.
The food there, cooked in a traditional way, had a fragrant aroma. It seemed light, but the flavor was rich. Since Catherine hadn't had dinner and the food was delicious, she ate a lot.
Seeing her enjoyment, Branden proactively suggested, "Maybe we should come here again."
"Yeah." Catherine nodded, wiping her mouth with a napkin. "I'm full now. Let's head back."
"Okay." Branden stood up, paid the bill, and then led Catherine out.
After getting into the car, Catherine instructed Paxton to recline the back seat a bit. "I want to take a nap," she said, then snuggled up to Branden, resting her head on his chest.
The familiar scent acted as a sedative, calming Branden's previously restless and unsettled mind. Several days of continuous work had pushed him to the brink. Catherine's embrace gradually relaxed his tense body, and he couldn't resist falling asleep.
Unlike Branden, Catherine had been sleeping well these past few days. She hadn't planned to rest. She was doing this for Branden's sake. Sensing that he had fallen asleep, she gently adjusted her position to make him more comfortable. "Has he been very tired recently?" she suddenly asked.
The sudden, icy voice startled Paxton, who was sitting in the driver's seat, instantly bringing him to full alertness. He hesitated momentarily before answering in a low voice, "Miss Swann, the matter in Casier isn't really a big problem for Boss. It just requires some time."
Having worked for Branden for so many years, Paxton had weathered many storms with him. The matter in Casier wasn't really a thorny issue."
Miss Swann, Boss missed you too much. He wanted to return as soon as possible, so he's always been rushing. And it makes him a bit exhausted," Paxton confessed in a subdued voice.
"For how many days?" Catherine asked, her eyes revealing that she could tell something was being concealed.
"Three days!" Paxton replied.
After getting the answer, Catherine couldn't help but tilted her head to look at Branden. He would have tried to endure longer if she hadn't insisted on resting. Her heart softened as she held his hand, allowing his head to rest comfortably on
her shoulder.

Branden wasn't sure how long he had been asleep when he gradually opened his eyes in a daze. Sensingn someone beside him, he instinctively turned his head to look.

They both knew it was a white lie.
After a brief nap, Branden felt refreshed and filled with energy. "Alright, let's go
home!"
Paxton, who had been waiting outside the car, emerged from the shadows as soon as he heard their conversation. " Boss, you're awake!" he exclaimed. Branden, unusually amiable, nodded at Paxton and said in a more approachable tone, "You've been tired these days. Rest for a couple of days. I'll call you if I
need anything."

Having worked for Branden for so
many years, Paxton had never been treated like this before and felt a
surge of "Thank you, Boss!" Although Branden had always been kind to him, Branden's naturally cold demeanor meant that he would
protect them at all costs but wouldn't show it. This was the first time Paxton had experienced this kind of treatment, and it was impossible not
to be moved by it. Visit Popsnovel.com to read the latest chapter of this novel
Watching Branden and Catherine leave hand in hand, Paxton only hoped they
would be happy forever.
