All Her Secrets By Chestnut

Chapter 773 Dating
After the discussion, Branden descended from upstairs and walked straight toward the living room. It was clear to everyone that he had come for Catherine.
Standing with her back to the stairs, Catherine didn't notice Branden's arrival.
Noticing her unawareness, Zobber raised her eyebrows at Catherine in a suggestive manner.
Upon realizing Zobber's unusual expression, Catherine turned to look behind her.
"Is everything resolved?" Branden's previously icy face instantly softened with tenderness and a smile when he saw Catherine's glance. "How about taking a walk outside?"
Hearing his suggestion, Catherine furrowed her brows slightly. Since early this morning, there had been a continuous stream of people coming to the old mansion to report to Branden. Given the recent events at the Duncan Corporation and Branden's busy schedule, why would he suddenly propose going out?
"Is there something wrong?" Catherine inquired, puzzled.
Branden, about to explain with a smile, was interjected by Zobber.
She looked at them smilingly and teased Catherine. "Catherine, today is Valentine's Day. Mr. Duncan is here to take you on a date. Hurry up. Go upstairs, change into something nice, and go out for a stroll with Mr. Duncan.
"Valentine's Day?" thought Catherine. Growing up alone abroad and rarely celebrating even Christmas, she didn't remember such a holiday.
Seeing Catherine's hesitation, Branden was aware of her reluctance to celebrate such a day and said, "If you don't feel like going out, you can stay home and rest. I'll stay with you."
Seeing Branden change his mind, Zobber immediately chimed in, " Catherine has been staying at home for two days. Today is Valentine's Day, a rare opportunity. No matter what, you two should go out. I'll go out on a date, too. If everyone leaves, it'll be boring with just the two of you at home."
After she finished speaking, she didn't forget to hint at Catherine, urging her to agree quickly.
Catherine didn't mind. She had spent the past two days at the Duncans' old mansion without venturing outside.
Since Branden suggested going out, she agreed without hesitation. "Wait for me for two minutes. I'll change my clothes."
"Sure," Branden replied gently, looking at Catherine with an indulgent gaze.
Seeing Catherine head upstairs, Zobber immediately followed. "Catherine, wait for me. I'll help you pick out clothes."
They arrived at a guest room on the third floor adjacent to Branden's master bedroom. It had been vacant until Catherine's arrival, and now, it became her exclusive room.
Zobber opened the wardrobe and was stunned by the exquisite clothes, all with intact tags. "Catherine, Mr. Duncan is really thoughtful. You won't stay here for many days a year, but look at these clothes-all top-notch and from the latest collections."
Catherine smiled faintly, not offering much of a response. She knew Branden's attentiveness to her affairs.
Reaching into the closet, Catherine selected a black hoodie. As she was about to put it on, Zobber grabbed her arm. "Catherine, tell me you're not planning to wear this for your date with Mr. Duncan."
Catherine held the hoodie and looked at it. It was brand new, with a good fit and no issues. "Is there a problem?" she asked, tilting her head.
Zobber looked at Catherine's exquisite face and thought, "With her looks, she would be beautiful in anything. Indeed, beauty is the law, and she can wear as she wants."
"No problem, but don't you think wearing black, white, and gray every day is a bit dull? How about a change in style today? This light green dress looks good. Your perfect skin will make it stunning," Zobber suggested.
Seeing Catherine hesitate, Zobber, emboldened, reached for the clothes." Catherine, trust me this once. I won't harm you. Come on."
The two remained upstairs, and Branden sat calmly in the living room. However, Ronin seemed a bit anxious. "Why hasn't Catherine come down yet? Didn't she say two minutes?"
Hearing this, Withal replied casually, "What's so strange about it? Women take their time changing. Even an hour or two is normal, and it's only been a few minutes."
If it were his mother going out, they might be able to catch some more shut-eye.
However, Ronin wasn't satisfied with Withal's response. He coldly retorted, " Is Catherine an ordinary woman?"
Catherine was usually the most punctual. If she stated a specific duration, she would stick to it diligently.
Ronin's comment didn't bother Withal. After all, it wasn't just Catherine who had gone up the stairs; Zobber, the mischievous one, was also there. Without guessing, he knew Zobber must have done something unconventional.
As they conversed, they heard the sound of footsteps on the floor above. Everyone looked up, and Zobber was the first to descend, followed by Catherine. The sight of her in a light green dress captivated everyone's attention.
Though they had known Catherine for many years, they were not used to seeing her dressed so elegantly. After all, Catherine's usual attire was centered around comfort. She rarely found herself in dresses unless attending special occasions that called for formal wear.
Zobber looked at the group of men below, all stunned. Even though she wasn't the focus, her inner pride remained.
She had known this would be the effect, especially since even she, as a woman, had her heart race when she saw Catherine appear just now.

Seeing Branden standing in a daze, Zobber couldn't help but chuckle quietly. "Mr.
Duncan, isn't Catherine exceptionally beautiful?"

"Yes, very beautiful," he said sincerely.
