All Her Secrets

Chapter 896 Branden's Caring
Audrey kept her head down, unsure how to respond to Catherine's question.
Although Brian didn't expose the video, their relationship had been built on threats from the start. Despite Brian being good to her lately, one-sided efforts couldn't be the reason for them to be together.
Seeing Audrey's dilemma, Catherine had a bad feeling. "Don't tell me you've fallen for him now, have you?"
This question startled Audrey. She quickly shook her head, denying Catherine's speculation. "No, that's impossible." She was sure she had no feelings for Brian. "I have no feelings for him; it's all in his imagination," she added.
Audrey's almost certain response relieved Catherine. She had worried that Audrey might have fallen for Brian during this time. It would make the situation more challenging.
"Leave this matter to me. Take a break from your current work for now, and contact me if anything comes up," said Catherine.
Audrey managed a bitter smile. She came to comfort Catherine, but it turned into Catherine helping her clean up the mess.
She originally planned to refuse, but she knew Catherine's temperament. Once Catherine decided, it was final. So, she had to relent and said, "Kathy, you don't have to worry too much about my situation. Actually, there's no need to handle it. I can just ignore him."
Catherine nodded without saying much. She just needed to know Audrey's stance.
Seeing Catherine in better shape than her, Audrey gradually relaxed. "Since you're fine, I'll head back now." She needed to think about how to get rid of Brian. She knew how persistent he was; he wouldn't give up easily.
Catherine didn't stop her but just told Branden, and Branden arranged for a driver to escort Audrey back.
Audrey had come in a hurry, driving herself without even bringing an assistant. Given her public status and the current situation, it was better to be cautious.
Once Audrey left, Catherine packed up the game console and headed to the bathroom.
Branden approached slowly. He wrapped his arms around her slender waist and buried his head in her neck, gently smelling her fragrance. "Ready for bed?" he asked.
"Yeah, just gonna take a shower and hit the hay," Catherine gently replied. She walked forward while Branden still embraced her from behind.
"Come on, let me help you," Branden said, his hands already at her collar. He gently undid her buttons and helped her out of her clothes.
His slender fingertips softly traced over her tender skin, creating a delightful tingling sensation, as if a gentle current of electricity passed through.
The temperature in the bathroom kept rising. Branden's heavy breaths filled Catherine's ears. Just as things were heating up, Catherine stopped his eager hands in time. "I'm tired."
Branden abruptly stopped. He planted a firm kiss on Catherine's neck before slowly letting her go.

Despite the discomfort of suppressing his desires, he still cared deeply for Catherine.
"Okay, got it. You go out first, and I'll come out after I'm done," said Catherine.
A mischievous smile appeared on Branden's handsome face. He raised an eyebrow. "Do I need to leave? You are entirely mine."
Catherine rolled her eyes at him. "You pervert, go away," she complained with a
smile.
Afraid that she might catch a cold without her clothes, Branden didn't tease her further, obediently leaving the bathroom.
Catherine gently touched her abdomen. Watching Branden's departing figure, she smiled sweetly.
