All Her Secrets

Chapter 952 Branden Came Back
In the private room, the waiter carefully served the exquisite dishes to the table.
Their boss had ordered that such customers were all top-level VIPs and needed to be treated with extreme care.
Whenever a new dish came out, Karl would turn it to Catherine. "Catherine, hurry up and eat! I can see you've lost weight. It must be that little brat Branden who didn't take good care of you. Now that I am here, I need to take care of you."
Catherine frowned tightly. She was sensitive to numbers; once she saw them, she wouldn't forget.
If she didn't remember wrong, she was much heavier now than the last time she saw Karl. How could she be thinner?
In the eyes of the elders, maybe anyone who hadn't gotten fat to the point of being round and plump was considered thin.
Catherine didn't bother to explain herself, quietly eating the food that Karl had placed in front of her.
Seeing her eat a lot, Karl couldn't stop smiling. "Keep eating. Being able to eat is a blessing."
Catherine paused for a moment in between bites and glanced up at Karl. "Mr. Karl, how come you suddenly decided to visit Loxton?"
"An old friend of mine got sick, so I came to check on him and also to see you. It's been a while since we last met. I really miss you guys. In front of Catherine, Karl didn't have his usual air at all. He was just a kind old grandpa.
Simon was watching Karl talk happily on the side, with a big smile in his eyes as well. "Miss Swann, Mr. Karl is always missing you. He mentions you more times than Mr. Branden, and he thinks about coming to see you every day."
When Karl heard that, he angrily lifted his head, glared at Simon, and said disdainfully, "You're talking nonsense! I only talked about Catherine. Why would I bother thinking about that brat?"
After scolding Simon, he turned around and smiled at Catherine. "Catherine, you gotta believe me. I root for you."
Karl could switch between two different attitudes easily.
Catherine gave a faint smile without much reaction.
She originally thought someone was intentionally doing it behind her back, but now it seemed like it might really just be a coincidence.
It was just that Karl came at the right time, so others took advantage of him.
Catherine had eaten quite a bit and was starting to feel full, but Karl was still enthusiastically promoting the food, afraid that she hadn't had enough.
Fortunately, the butler standing by the side was observant and stopped Karl from feeding her in time. "Mr. Karl, please spare her. Eating too much at once, Miss Swann's stomach may not
be able to handle it at night."
After hearing Simon's advice, Karl finally backed off. "Don't worry, Catherine, I'll still be in Loxton for a few more days, so plenty of time to treat you to something nice."
Catherine smiled on the surface, but inside, she was feeling pretty miserable.
This kind of love was better not to come too fiercely.
After finishing their meal, Catherine politely asked Karl where he was planning on staying for the night.
Simon politely responded to her question, "Miss Swann, Mr. Karl has a villa in Loxton. He has already instructed someone to clean it before our arrival, so we will be staying there tonight."
The Duncans had a huge business empire with assets all over the world.
It was totally normal for Karl to have a few mansions up in Loxton.
"Catherine, you going back to the apartment alone? Karl knew that Branden had bought an apartment near the school for Catherine's convenience.
He felt that Branden couldn't get things done, thinking, If he wants to buy a house, then buy villa. A small apartment wouldn't be a match for Catherine.'
Branden's not here. Are you safe by yourself? Karl asked.
'In my home, the one who should feel unsafe would be someone else, right?' Catherine thought so in her heart, but she didn't say anything. She knew that Karl was just concerned about her.
"It's okay. I don't live alone. Mr. Theo and his grandson recently came to Loxton and are staying in our apartment building. Paxton and others are also around in the dormitory, so safety is not an issue." Catherine just wanted to explain to Karl that she was very safe, butto her surprise, Karl did not agree after she finished speaking.
Do they all live in your apartment?" asked Karl.
Hearing his misunderstanding, Catherine explained again. "It's not that they live in my apartment, but rather in the same neighborhood as me."
Branden was generous in buying the whole building, openly stating that it was for her safety, but in reality, it was just for peace.
Karl frowned tightly, his expression strange as he looked at Catherine. "Are there any vacant rooms available?"
Staring blankly, Catherine thought for a moment. "There should still be a few empty rooms available."
Upon hearing these words, Karl was delighted. He turned to Simon beside him and ordered in a commanding tone, "Make arrangements. I won't go to the manor. I want to go to Catherine's house to live with her."
Catherine was stunned, thinking, Karl is coming too? The apartment is going to bust now."
The apartment was purchased by Branden and could be considered an asset of
the
Duncans. Catherine couldn't really say no. Since Karl desired to go, then let it be so. Seeing that Catherine didn't object, Karl smiled and looked at her. "Catherine, I can go back with you now."
Just as they walked up to the restaurant door, they saw a familiar car parked in
front.
The man who was originally supposed to come back tomorrow morning not only came back early but also showed up in front of her right away.
Seeing Catherine and Karl, Branden immediately pushed the door open and got out of the car, walking straight toward them.
When Karl saw Branden, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, his face became
so unpleasant, as if he had met a huge creditor. "You brat! I come all this way, and you just ran off on a business trip. Leaving me with your future wife. Are you
so busy?"

Hearing criticism from Karl, even
Branden could only obediently listen."Grandpa, how can you blame! me? When you arrived, you didn't
even inform me in advance. I happened to have something urgent to attend to, so I had to leave temporarily. Now I have rushed back as Visit bignovels.com to read the latest chapter of this novel
quickly as possible."
"Hmph!" Karl raised his eyebrows disdainfully and coldly snorted. "Who doesn't
know you are rushing over to pick up your future wife instead of visiting an old
man like me."
Finishing, he turned gently to Catherine. "Catherine, it's windy at night. You
should get in the car first!"
Like grandfather like grandchild. Their lines even sounded the same.
Catherine realized that the two had something to discuss, so she got directly into
the car, leaving space for the two of them.

As soon as Catherine left, Karl's expression immediately changed. He
looked at Branden with eyes full of
disdain. "You brat, why are there so many troubles every day? Would the Duncan Corporation be doomed without you? You don't even pay
attention to your future wife. If it weren't for me happening to be there, you wouldn't even know that your wife was taken away by someone. If you lose such a good wife, I'll kick you out of the Duncans." Karl said the last sentence with a serious tone. There was no hint of joking.

Karl might really kick him out of the Duncans if he lost Catherine. Branden naturally understood them meaning behind Raft's words. He
gave a faint smile, his eyes filled with confidence. 'Rest assured, Grandpa. No one can take away my wife." Seeing the confident look on his face,
Karl decided not to dwell on it. Just be careful." Visit bignovels.com to read the latest chapter of this novel
