All Her Secrets

Catherine woke up and stood in front of the mirror, sighing as she looked at the
red marks on her neck. Even though Branden had shown restraint, the red marks were still visible.
Last night, she returned to the apartment with Branden. Knowing that she had been busy with laboratory work lately, Branden made her a cup of warm milk, intending for her to rest.
However, she, for sreason, decided to seduce him. But how could Branden resist her teasing? He pounced on her immediately, and the two shared a night of passion. She ended up sleeping in today.
Branden entered the bathroom and found Catherine standing in front of the mirror in a daze. He walked up slowly, embraced her from behind, and rested his head on her shoulder. "Feeling uncomfortable?" he softly asked.
Catherine returned to her senses, her wandering thoughts brought back. She gazed gently through the mirror at the man. Half-closing her eyes, she lazily responded to Branden's question, "No. Just sleepy." Despite Branden's suggestion for her to sleep a bit more, Catherine declined.
Branden anticipated her response. He knew Catherine's nature. Once she decided on something, her plans wouldn't easily change.
While Catherine was washing up, Branden attentively unbuttoned her sleepwear from behind and changed the clothes she would wear today. Catherine remained like a puppet throughout, letting Branden take care of everything.
In the apartment, there was a room transformed into Catherine's dressing room. Branden regularly added various accessories and clothes, but Catherine rarely went in.
Whenever she needed to dress, Branden would choose and present the clothes to her. Her clothing requirements were simple, emphasizing comfort and warmth. Apart from these, it was up to Branden's mood to decide.
Today, with the sunlight being nice and warm, Branden chose a white T-shirt for Catherine, paired with a light yellow coat. Unlike the usual black and white, the bright colors complemented Catherine's naturally perfect skin, making her look more vibrant and exuding a youthful vigor.
Catherine sat at the table and leisurely ate her breakfast. Branden, on the other hand, held a cup of hot coffee and observed her.
The sunlight streamed through the glass window, casting a radiant glow on Catherine.
The intense gaze made Catherine, who initially wanted to ignore it, unable to disregard it. She raised her eyes and met Branden's gaze with a warning, signaling him to restrain himself. Branden snorted lightly and tilted his head to conceal his gaze.
Catherine would never understand how much effort it took for him to suppress his possessiveness.
He understood that Catherine loved freedom and disliked being restrained. Yet, she was too splendid, too beautiful -compelling enough to make one want to hide her away in a place outsiders could never reach. He just wanted to have her all to himself.
After finishing the last sip of milk, Catherine put down the cup and stood up.
Branden naturally took the cup and turned to walk into the kitchen, and when he cout, Catherine had already packed up.
Branden grabbed his coat and looked at her tenderly. "Let's go. I'll drive you to school." The two walked out of the apartment like an ordinary couple, heading in different directions but with the sdestination in mind-home.
The car stopped at the school gate, and Catherine didn't let Branden open the car door for her. She had been quite conspicuous at school recently, and though she wasn't afraid of the curious glances, she preferred to keep a low profile whenever possible.
Branden's face was distinctive enough that if captured, it could stir up a buzz on the school forum for a few days.
Catherine didn't head directly to the laboratory but went back to the dormitory first. Hearing the door opening, Amelia peered out. "Bella..." Mid-sentence, she swallowed her words. She had expected Isabella to return, not Catherine. "Super Catherine, why are you back? I thought you would go straight to the lab." "I returned for sdocument." Catherine walked directly to her bed after speaking. Once she got what she needed, she was ready to leave. Turning around, she noticed Amelia standing behind her.
Seeing Amelia avoiding eye contact, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated, Catherine placed the documents down and pulled out a chair to sit. "If you have something to say, just go ahead." Deep down, Amelia admired Catherine once again. "Super Catherine indeed lived up to her title. She could always effortlessly grasp what was on my mind," thought she.
"Super Catherine, there's something I'm not sure if I should mention," said Amelia.
"When you hesitate, it already implies you want to say something, doesn't it?" Catherine analyzed calmly. After careful consideration, Amelia found ssense in Catherine's words and continued, "Super Catherine, there's a strange incident I witnessed while cleaning the lab a couple of days ago. I can't help but feel our lab might be haunted." Amelia then explained the specific details, genuinely suspecting she had met a ghost.
However, since the laboratory was a place that believed in science, she feared being labeled as superstitious or irrational if she shared this with others. With no other choice, she turned to Catherine.

"Okay," Catherine softly replied. "Thanks." In high spirits, Amelia smiled and said, "You're welcome." Having held these worries for so many years, she was always afraid of being mocked or belittled if she spoke out. Unexpectedly, Catherine expressed gratitude.
"Hurry back to the lab," said Amelia.
