Chapter 883 A Funeral for Them
The next day, Ronin returned to school. The school had been publicly stating that Winston was on sick leave, so no one knew about Ronin's connection to his disappearance. However, the police did inquire about Winston when Ronin returned. It was unclear how Ronin responded, but he was released.
By the time Ronin got back to school, it was already noon. He went straight to the laboratory building to wait for Catherine. To his surprise, he saw someone unexpected there.
"Rylan, what are you doing here?" Ronin asked in surprise.
"Ronin, you've been gone for quite a while. Why the sudden appearance today?" Rylan inquired.
Ronin smiled shyly. "I had some things to take care of recently, so I took a long leave from school. Are you waiting for Catherine?"
"Yeah," Rylan replied, looking Ronin up and down as if searching for something.
Just then, Catherine emerged from the lab, interrupting their conversation.
"Catherine, why didn't you tell me Ronin was back?" Rylan asked.
"Catherine, why didn't you tell me Rylan came to Loxton?" Ronin inquired at the same time.
Catherine glanced at both of them and said, "Since when did I have to pass on messages to you?"
Ronin immediately approached her with a smile, trying to make things seem just like they used to. "Catherine, that's not what I meant. Please don't
misunderstand."
After a brief conversation, Ronin suggested they all go out for a meal.
Although Catherine increasingly disliked Rylan, she agreed to his proposal out of consideration for Ronin. After Ronin's return, everything seemed to go back to the way it was. He considered Catherine's preferences, found a good restaurant, and they all set off together. Ronin seemed very interested in Rylan, and Rylan was unusually friendly to Ronin. The two of them excitedly conversed while Catherine sat quietly, eating without speaking.
The harmonious scene prompted Rylan to exclaim, "It feels like I've gone back to the time when we first met. It's wonderful!"
The next moment, Catherine's phone rang. After taking the call, she told them, "You guys keep eating. I have to go."
"Catherine..." Ronin put down his fork and stood up, but Catherine had already left. He could only sit back down and quietly complain, "Ever since Catherine got together with Branden, I've lost my place."
Hearing this, Rylan patted Ronin's shoulder and comforted him, "She's your leader. The only thing that matters is her happiness, right?"
Ronin gazed longingly in the direction Catherine had left, saying sadly, "So am I destined to be the sacrifice for her happiness? I want her to be happy, but I don't want her to ignore me." With that, he looked at Rylan and asked, "If it were you, would you do the same to me?"
Rylan didn't answer, but his smile deepened.
Catherine received a call from Branden. He knew Ronin had returned and that she had lunch with him today. He waited until they were almost done eating before calling to say he was coming to pick her up. Seeing her come out alone, he was curious, "Where's Ronin? Didn't he come with you?"
"Someone's with him," Catherine explained briefly.
Branden helped Catherine into the car. Once inside, she felt a bit bored and leaned on his chest, engaging in casual conversation with him.
"Ronin should have sent you the evidence, right? What do you think?" she asked.
Branden glanced at her and planted a tender kiss on her forehead. "I don't have any thoughts. But since you believe in him, I will too," he replied. If she didn't believe in Ronin, she wouldn't have allowed him back by her side. In that case, he didn't need to think too much.
Catherine hadn't expected this response from him. She thought he would analyze the situation rationally and then give his answer. "Aren't you afraid I might make the wrong judgment?" she asked.
"Humph." Branden chuckled lightly. So what? It doesn't matter." After all, he would be there to support her decision. He wanted her to do whatever she wanted.
Catherine gave a meaningful smile. " Fine!"
Suddenly, their phones buzzed. After answering the calls, they exchanged a glance.
"Triston is in trouble," Branden said.
"Audrey wants to see me," Catherine told him.
Catherine shook her head helplessly, and Branden instructed the driver to change the route, knowing that Triston and Audrey should be in the same place.
Soon, Catherine and Branden arrived.
Audrey was in tears. When she saw Catherine, she threw herself into her arms, pleading, "Kathy, please stop them. I can't do it! Make them stop!"
