All Her Secrets

Chapter 372 Wanted to Stay With You
Withal followed Catherine out of the restaurant in a sad mood. Their group of people were particularly envious of Ronin because
he was the only person who could accompany Catherine every day, which was really enviable.
Catherine had sent Branden the restaurant address, and by the time she walked out, Branden was already there waiting.
He stood at the entrance of the alley as if he had sensed Catherine was coming. He raised his head as soon as Catherine came
out and looked toward her. The moment his eyes landed on Catherine, he noticed Withal following her.
Catherine walked straight toward Branden, and from a distance, Branden reached out to hold onto her palm.
Withal followed behind and saw the scene clearly. When he saw their hands holding together, he trembled all over.
God, he had discovered another secret. Catherine was actually with someone, and the point was that the man was freaking
handsome.
Just as Withal hesitated to politely go up and say hello, Catherine had taken the initiative to make the introduction. “This is
Hamza, my friend!”
Hearing that Catherine was introducing himself to the man in front, Withal rushed forward. After sizing up Branden, he said
politely, ” My name is Hamza. You can call me Withal as Catherine did!”
Branden nodded and said coldly, “My name is Branden!”
He then turned his gaze back to Catherine. There was no other place for anyone else in his eyes. He thought he and Withal only
needed to get to know each other briefly. As Catherine prepared to leave, Branden followed her to the car.
Withal stood frozen in place for a long time as he watched the car move away. He always felt that the name Branden was
somewhat familiar, and he could sense from the aura emanating from this man that this man was not ordinary.
“Branden!” Withal recited the name in his heart again silently, and suddenly...
He remembered! The man was the young head of the Duncans in Casier, who was rumored to be the perfect man!
According to rumors, the Duncans were not only the richest family in Casier but also the richest family in the country.

Because the Duncans had always kept a low profile, they had not publicly ranked as the richest family in the country.
People who knew the truth knew that the more prosperous a family was in the past century, the more they knew how to keep a
low profile.
On the contrary, the wealthy families on the rankings were just being pushed out to cover the truly wealthy families. The truly
wealthy were still the heirs of these top families.
The man behind Catherine was actually Branden. Withal originally thought that no man in the world was worthy of Catherine’s
exceptional intelligence, but after learning that her man was Branden, Withal felt they were a win-win union inexplicably.
After all, Branden was rumored to have a transcendent status. The title of heir to the Duncans alone was enough to put him on
the tip of the world’s pyramid.
It was quiet in the car. Catherine had rested enough today, so even if she was sitting in the car now, she was not sleepy at all
and could still take out her phone to play games. Upon seeing her ending the game, Branden promptly reached out and pressed
her hand.
“Stop playing. Let your eyes rest.”
Branden might not stop Catherine’s behavior openly, but he had always kept a standard in his heart. He would remind Catherine
from time to time. After playing a game, Catherine was also tired. Upon Branden’s reminder, Catherine put down her phone.
Seeing her being so well-behaved, Branden looked at her with a doting face and asked, “Do you have anything to do tomorrow?
When do you plan to return to Casier?”
“Next week!” Catherine then gave the precise time. She still had a few things to do, so she wasn’t planning on going back so
early.
The matter of the Winfreds was still unsettled. The Swanns had close contact with the Winfreds, and it was a little more
convenient for her to stay over here as she was able to get first- hand information at Oceanvile.
“I have something to do tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.”
The man frowned slightly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

“You can focus on your things. I can do it all alone.” Catherine was not the kind of little girl who was clingy. She had always been
used to being alone, so even if Branden was not by her side, she was fine.
The huge Duncan Corporation was now all handed over to Branden to manage, and he had to do a lot of things every day. Men
were busy with their careers, and Catherine could understand it very well.
“Haha...” Branden laughed a little helplessly. It was not necessarily a good thing that one’s girlfriend was too generous.
He put one arm around Catherine’s waist, and with a slight application of force, he grabbed Catherine’s entire body into his arms.
He rested his head on Catherine’s shoulder and whispered softly, “The one who can’t be alone is me.”
The one who couldn’t be alone wasn’t her but Branden himself. Thinking about leaving for two days, Branden wanted to kill that
group of idiots in his company. They never got things done right, and he had to handle things in person.
Even he didn’t know when he started feeling like he couldn’t live without Catherine! Inside the dimly lit car, Catherine’s clear eyes
shone like the brightest stars in the night sky. The person who had always been cold had her eyebrows curved with a smile at
this moment.
“It’s just two days. It will end very soon! “Rarely, Catherine actually comforted the man who began to sigh because he was going
to be separated from her for two days.
It was still early. Branden guessed that Catherine should have just finished her meal, so he didn’t plan to take her to dinner.
“How about we have a walk?”
“Yes!” Just finished eating, Catherine also planned to take a walk to help digestion. Before coming to Oceanvile, Audrey asked
her to bring back some specialty products.
Although Catherine didn’t like shopping, she didn’t reject it, either. Shopping for something during a walk was not a bad idea.
Paxton parked the car in the underground garage of Oceanvile’s largest mall, which was not only the largest in Oceanvile but
also one of the three largest plazas in the entire East.
On the first floor, there were cosmetics and luxury goods from around the world, all of which were first-tier brands. Some second-
tier products were difficult to have a place here.

From the fourth floor to the eighth floor, there were all luxury items. Branden led Catherine directly to the clothing area on the
fourth floor, but her requirements for clothing were not high.
Her clothes were all arranged by Ronin, all of which were luxurious and customized designs. She planned to start checking the
bags on the fifth floor!
“Let’s go to the fifth floor!”
Branden had no objections at all. He took Catherine’s hand and walked up the escalator immediately. They got on the escalator,
and the first store on the left was Hermès. Hermès products were always at the forefront of luxury products.
Catherine remembered that Audrey and Yesenia both loved this brand. After receiving the last shooting’s payment, Audrey
bought a Hermès handbag and showed it off in front of her for a long time.
Catherine planned to go in and take a look, but Branden’s cell phone rang. She asked Branden to answer the phone first while
she went into the store alone first.
There were not many customers in the store, but there were quite a lot of clerks. As soon as Catherine entered the store, the
clerks noticed her.
They looked Catherine up and down. Seeing her shopping alone with a complete set of black sportswear and a peaked cap that
couldn’t tell the brand on her head, they were somewhat reluctant to come up to receive her.
However, those who came to the store were guests, and they had to follow the employee rules.
After hinting at each other, the new clerk was pushed out. Approaching Catherine, she said coldly, “Hi, how may I help you?”
