Chapter 192 Coincidence

After getting her bag, Audrey took Catherine with her to the car. The two were about to take the car and

go back, but when they reached the car, Catherine suddenly reached out to stop Audrey.

Audrey was taken aback for a second before staring at Catherine with a puzzled expression. “Kathy,

what’s up? Aren’t you getting in the car?”

Catherine lowered her eyes. Her gaze was freezing as she gestured to the side, signaling Audrey to be

mindful of her surroundings. Audrey looked in the direction of Catherine’s gaze and found that the car’s

tires were flat.

She walked around the car again and discovered all four tires were flat. She looked at Catherine in

panic. Kathy, what should we do? My car broke down, and I’m sure someone intentionally sabotaged

it!”

There was no need for Audrey’s assurance. Catherine knew that someone must have deliberately

caused the damage. After all, this was something that anyone with eyes could tell. No need to guess.

Catherine already knew who the mastermind was.

“Who else but that ignorant young mister from the Swanns could come up with such boring and childish

tricks?” she thought.

Compared to the composure of Catherine, Audrey was quite restless and even a bit jumpy.

“Kathy, what do you suggest we do?

“This is a villa area where people usually drive in, and no one would take a taxi. Even if someone wants

to, they would have to walk to the entrance of the villa area.

“It’s at least two or three miles to walk from here.”

After Audrey finished complaining, she angrily stomped her foot and said, ” Forget it. I’ll go inside and

ask Father to arrange a driver for us!”

Catherine grabbed Audrey, who was about to leave. “Now that Johnathan carried out this matter, how

could the Swanns offer assistance at such a time?

“If it were to cause a commotion, the Swanns would face the embarrassment, she thought. Korbin was

undoubtedly not going to provide any assistance. Catherine knew that without even having to think

about it.

“Let’s go. I’ll figure it out!”

She wouldn’t be stumped by a car. Catherine seemed to have the magical ability to instantly calm the

listener’s agitated heart with a simple sentence.

Such was the case with Audrey. She lost all her previous anxiety and uneasiness in a moment,

obediently following behind Catherine to walk out.

They walked out of the parking lot and saw a man in a black coat standing not far away. The man

leaned his slender body against a black Bentley in the chilly wind.

His clean and neat bangs partially concealed the deep eyes. Those bright moon-like eyes were gazing

ahead, shimmering like clear lakes.

A gentle breeze brushed against the hem of his clothes, causing the loosely scattered ribbons to flutter

about and bringing a slight hint of coldness. Seeing Catherine approaching, he quickened his pace

toward her.

“Why are you here?” asked Catherine. As he saw Catherine’s face, the man’s initially icy, deep eyes

thawed instantly, as gentle as the moonlight tonight.

“I know that the Langs are holding a birthday banquet, and you would come, so I came here to take a

look. If we meet coincidentally, I can give you a ride home.”

Standing behind him, Paxton couldn’t help but feel a pang of anguish as he heard Branden’s words.

“Has it anything to do with coincidence? He has been waiting for two hours already!

“His legs were shivering so much from the cold wind!” he said inwardly. Catherine’s cold gaze swept

over the man’s shoulder, and a beautiful curve appeared at the corner of her lips. Her sparkling eyes

were filled with hidden meaning as she smiled.

“Then, it’s such a coincidence!”

The man chuckled without saying a word. Audrey, who was by Catherine’s side, ran toward Branden

slowly and exclaimed excitedly, “Mr. Duncan, what perfect timing! It’s like you read our minds. Our car

broke down, and we were stuck here without a ride. It’s so thoughtful of you to give us a ride!”

From Audrey’s words, Branden discerned the unspoken words. With a raised eyebrow, he looked at

Catherine with his eyes filled with a questioning expression, seeking her opinion.

Catherine shook her head discreetly. What she liked about this man was that he would consult her

opinion. Men who reached his position had long been accustomed to giving orders and having a self-

centered attitude toward everything.

Branden was different. No matter how small the issue was, as long as it involved Catherine, he would

take the initiative to ask her opinion and wouldn’t make decisions on his own. Seeing that Catherine

didn’t want him to take action, Branden didn’t insist.

“Come on. Let’s get in the car. It’s super windy outside!”

Audrey was following Catherine, and Branden was in front of them. Branden was so sweet that he even

blocked the car doorframe for Catherine while she was getting in, making people jealous.

In Audrey’s mind, the young and famous heir of the Duncans had always been a cold man, forever

aloof and proud, towering above everyone else.

“How did he end up being taken down by my younger sister?” she wondered. Anyway, Audrey was

super happy. She initially thought that Branden was helping because of the agreement between their

families, but now it seemed that maybe he really liked Catherine.

The car slowly pulled up to Audrey’s house. It was unknown if it was intentional or what. The distance

that should have taken only half an hour took Paxton an hour and a half.

The top-of-the-line luxury and high- performance Bentley drove slower than the beat-up old car gasping

for breath next to it.

As soon as the car came to a stop, Audrey pushed open the door and rushed out of the car without

even looking back, shouting, “Kathy, I need to use the bathroom. Take your time. It’s not a problem if

you come up later!”

When Catherine saw Audrey running away as if being chased by a beast, she shook her head

helplessly. Branden’s eyes landed on the raised corner of Catherine’s mouth, his clear eyes pausing for

a moment before he smiled. The corner of his mouth curved in the exact same way as Catherine’s. His

voice was very soft and gentle.” Your sister is interesting!”

“Indeed!” Catherine replied. Branden reached out and rubbed Catherine’s head gently. Her hair was

very soft and fine and had not been damaged by various dyeing and perming treatments. So it was

incredibly well taken care of.

It felt extremely comfortable, which gave people a sense of satisfaction. Branden couldn’t help but

become addicted to touching it, repeatedly feeling it a few more times.

“Scumbag! Is he treating me as a little kitten or puppy and is addicted to touching me?” said Catherine

inwardly. Just as she was about to lose her temper, Branden seemed to have guessed her thoughts

and withdrew his hand quickly.

He turned around and grabbed a little box from the side. The packaging of the small box was highly

exquisite. With just one glance, one could tell it was pretty valuable.

“Here! I had someone reduce the amount of sugar by half. Just have one when you have nothing to

do!”

Catherine furrowed her eyebrows slightly, feeling somewhat displeased, but Branden stuffed the small

box into her hands forcefully. “Behave, listen to me. They are not as sweet as before and will raise your

blood sugar levels faster.”

This was a fast-acting pill. Branden specifically sought out a biomedical team to develop it to address

Catherine’s hypoglycemic symptoms.

Upon hearing the explanation, Catherine appeared delighted as a contented cat, gladly accepting it.

She was not incapable of treating her hypoglycemia. Though it might require some effort, it was not

impossible to alleviate it.

She had gotten used to this constant state of exhaustion as it was the only way to rest and replenish

her energy fully.

“However, since this man cannot bear to see me tired, I will listen to him. It wouldn’t hurt to have a not-

so-sweet candy like this occasionally,” she thought.

“Thank you!”

Catherine shook the small box in her hand and stepped out of the car. Branden didn’t try to convince

her to stay as Catherine still had to attend school the next day. It was not good for her health to sleep

too late.

After confirming that Catherine had gone upstairs and receiving instructions, Paxton was ready to start

the car. Suddenly, he caught sight of the figure standing in the shadows ahead. His piercing eyes

darkened immediately as he said respectfully, “Sir, there is someone ahead!”
