All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 986 His Lover Catherine nodded. "Just happened to pass by. Is he busy?" Knowing it wasn't an urgent matter, Paxton secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Not busy at all, not a bit!" Branden was always busy, except when it cto Catherine.

"Miss Swann, lettake you to Mr. Duncan's office," Paxton said. Afraid Catherine might grow impatient, he signaled the secretary to inform Branden.

Branden was still in a meeting in the conference room. When the secretary entered, his face instantly darkened.

The secretary was terrified by this expression. If Paxton hadn't personally instructed her, she probably wouldn't have the courage to speak now. She said, "Mr. Duncan, Miss Swann is here. Paxton has already taken her to your office. He wants you to cover for a moment." Branden closed his computer expressionlessly and then coldly surveyed the room. "Meeting paused." With that, he stood up and left, leaving the executives discussing animatedly.

When Branden returned to the office, Catherine had just sat down. Seeing him rush in, Catherine turned her head to look.

They looked at each other, and Branden smiled. "Feeling bored at home?" Catherine nodded slightly. “Just taking a stroll. If you're not busy, we can have afternoon coffee together." Branden replied without hesitation, "Sure. Wait. I'll grab a coat." As he spoke, Paxton hurried off to make the reservation.

"No need." Catherine promptly stopped him.

Branden looked puzzled. Catherine gestured to the fruits and snacks on the table and said, "No need to go out. We can have it here. You work, and I'll sit." She didn't want to go out, and more importantly, she didn't want to interfere with Branden's work.

Branden agreed and instructed the secretary to prepare.

The secretary hesitated for a moment. She realized that it was the first tshe had seen Branden so amiable, even with a smile on his face. It seemed the rumors were true. Branden indeed doted on Catherine wholeheartedly. She thought Catherine must be the mistress of the Duncans in the future. Not daring to be negligent, the secretary quickly went to prepare the pastries.

When the pastries arrived, Catherine was somewhat shocked. She looked at Branden and said, "Does your company always have such a rich variety of desserts?" Not only were there many options, but there was even a dessert table, rivaling that of a five-star hotel. Most importantly, these desserts looked delicious and perfectly matched her taste.

Before Branden could respond, the secretary said, "Miss Swann, these were all specially prepared for you. They are all flavors you've tried before and liked. We keep them in stock so that whenever you come, you can enjoy your favorites." Catherine smiled faintly. "Thank you." Luckily, Catherine didn't visit often, and she ate very little each time, so they didn't have to prepare too much. Otherwise, given how much Branden liked her, they might have to empty the entire mall to satisfy her.

Seeing the approving gaze from Branden, the secretary felt satisfaction and treated Catherine with even more respect. "Miss Swann, enjoy your meal, and if you need anything, just letknow." After the secretary left, only Catherine and Branden were in the spacious office.

Branden paused his work and accompanied Catherine. She used to be indifferent to sweets, but after becoming pregnant, she seemed different, preferring sdesserts that weren't too sweet.

As Branden saw her enjoy the food, his mood improved. "If you like it, I'll have Paxton bring the pastry chef here, and you can have these desserts every day." Catherine directly rejected his proposal and replied, "Mr. Theo says eating too many sweets is not good, and it might affect the health check." Branden didn't know about this, but since Thomas had said so, he would follow his advice. Branden picked up a juice, ready to hand it to Catherine, but he noticed that the juice was cold, and he frowned. "This juice is too cold. I'll have someone heat it for you." Catherine thought, "Heating juice?" She was stunned. "It's orange juice, no ice inside. It's not cold. Besides, can you even drink heated juice?" Branden still had sconcerns. Catherine took the juice and drank it in one gulp. The sweet taste made her feel comfortable. "It's fine, just a little orange juice." Branden smiled helplessly. "Take care of yourself." "Don't worry." Catherine shrugged.

"Is everything arranged with the school?" Branden asked. He originally wanted to arrange things for Catherine, but she refused. She intended to handle school matters herself.

Previously, due to a special circumstance, Catherine had been expelled from Styre University, Now, she was a visiting professor at Styre University, occasionally visiting the lab to check reports. If she didn't want to go, she just had to tell Marshall, and she wouldn't even need to request toff. With her words, Branden felt reassured. It seemed being expelled earlier wasn't a bad thing. At least now, it saved her a lot of trouble.

Recently, Catherine had been particularly prone to drowsiness. After eating, she wanted to sleep.

Seeing her yawn, Branden immediately helped her up. "Go rest in my lounge. Once I finish my work, I'll take you home. He wanted to take Catherine directly home, but he knew her personality. She didn't want her personal matters to interfere with his work. Catherine would never agree to that. Catherine tiredly nodded. Then Branden settled her on the bed. Looking at her beautiful sleeping face, Branden felt an unprecedented tranquility in his heart.

He had not only his lover but also their precious child, which was the best proof of their love. He gently kissed Catherine's forehead and reluctantly left. "Rest well. I'll take you hlater.
