All Her Secrets By Chestnut Chapter 41

Chapter 41 Can We Be Friends?

In the afternoon, after Catherine returned to her class. The class quieted down immediately. It was even quieter than when the homeroom teacher arrived.

Everyone had their eyes fixed on Catherine. Some of them looked surprised, some disdainful, and some were once again mesmerized by Catherine’s beauty.

Despite being the focus of everyone’s attention, Catherine acted as if nothing was wrong and went back to her seat. As she sat down, the discussions around her started again.

“How is she still here? Didn’t Bryan teach her a lesson? I heard that no girl could live to see tomorrow in the classroom after approaching Bryan. Even though it has only been a morning, isn’t it more than enough for Bryan to make her disappear already?”

“Who knows? Maybe she is skillful in her own way. I heard that she carries a curse and is a jinx herself. Her own family abandoned her since she was just a child.”

“Shut up! Don’t let Catherine hear you. I heard she’s tough and a great fighter for growing up in the countryside. She joined Class 8 even though she was never in school. Can you really afford to offend her?”

At this reminder, the two girls immediately lowered their voices to continue their discussion. However, the news that Catherine was never in school and came from the countryside had already spread in the class.

After walking into the classroom, Liana was shocked to see Catherine in her seat, looking unscathed. Liana’s face paled immediately. How could she be here? Wasn’t she…

Before Liana could understand what was going on, Catherine raised her head and looked in her direction. Her eyes were cold and sharp!

Liana dared not look her in the eye and subconsciously lowered her head to avoid Catherine’s gaze.

Her heart was hammering. As she returned to her seat, she took out her phone immediately to contact the gang.

She was desperate to know why Catherine was still here, safe and sound. Didn’t she arrange for a gang to attack Catherine so that she would be so intimidated to quit school? What was going on?

However, Liana received no reply to her texts. Catherine’s eyes fell lightly on Liana. She had seen every change in emotion on Liana’s face, from being shocked at first to being helpless later. Catherine couldn’t help but find it somewhat interesting. She hadn’t done anything to her, yet Liana was already scared out of her wits!

She was such a paper tiger. At the ring of the bell, Bryan led David and the others into the classroom. Everyone in Class 8 was used to seeing Bryan entering the classroom only at the last minute.

In fact, it would be strange to see Bryan here before the bell rang. Bryan was the star of attention no matter where he went in Loyalty Academy.

Now, everyone turned their attention to Bryan as they knew that Bryan did not like to be around girls, especially those wanting to approach him.

Catherine must have used some trick to be arranged to sit next to Bryan. Bryan would surely give a girl like her hell.

Therefore, everyone was waiting to see what Bryan would do to Catherine, who thought too highly of herself.

Even Liana was aware of Bryan’s bad temper. She was also curious to see what Bryan would do

to Catherine.

Bryan walked up to Catherine as expected.

His group of friends, including David, didn’t return to their seats but accompanied Bryan to the last row of the classroom.

He made such a presence!

Some students were already covering their faces with their books. They were afraid of being involved in the fight that was indeed brewing.

As everyone watched Bryan move, they also kept a close eye on Catherine’s reaction.

However, they saw that Catherine’s face remained cold and indifferent from the beginning. It was as if everything that was going on around her had nothing to do with her.

Some even thought that Catherine must be stupid for not fleeing in the face of trouble.

A boy commented in a whisper, “She is definitely pretty, but it’s a pity that she’s stupid. How can she not run away?”

Liana heard this and couldn’t help but smile. She was waiting to see Bryan teaching Catherine

a lesson.

Bryan walked up next to Catherine and studied her at a glance.

Even though he had only taken a glance at her, he felt his blood boiling as though something was going to burst out of his body.

He spoke with difficulty in a slightly hoarse voice, “Catherine!”

At first, Catherine didn’t plan to respond to him. She only turned to look at him slowly after Bryan called her name,

Her cold but somewhat creepy eyes fell slowly on Bryan. With a brow raised, she asked him with a look as though saying, “What is it?”

She was stunningly beautiful with such cold eyes. Bryan was immediately mesmerized and forgot to say what was on the tip of his tongue.

He only snapped out of his daze when David, who was behind him, gave him a nudge.

Then, Bryan did something that left the whole class in shock!

He bowed to Catherine. As he did so, David and the others bowed to Catherine too.

Holy shit!

This was definitely the most breaking news of Loyalty Academy this year!

The famous Bryan actually bowed to a new student.

Everyone was stunned. Their eyes widened as if they would pop out any second now.

Catherine, on the other hand, looked at Bryan calmly. It was as if what he did was nothing to

her.

Bryan looked up at Catherine with a serious expression.

“Catherine, can we be friends?”

A series of gasps and whispers rang in the classroom immediately.

“Oh, my god. Did Bryan bow to Catherine proactively, only to be her friend?”

“Has Bryan gone mad?”

What was so special about Catherine that made Bryan treat her like this?

It was magical!

Everyone, including Bryan, was waiting for Catherine’s reaction.

Nobody imagined that Bryan would do something like this to Catherine. However, Catherine

continued to look cold and arrogant.

Catherine remained calm after knowing what Bryan wanted. She was not influenced by him at all.

Not to mention being flustered because Bryan wanted to be her friend.

She only looked coldly at Bryan, then spoke calmly, “I’m not in the habit of making friends!”

The whole class thought that Catherine must be mad!

Nobody knew what was wrong with Bryan today to ask Catherine to be his friend proactively and so openly. It was almost as if he was buttering her up.

However, they found Catherine’s attitude even more unbelievable. One had to know that Bryan was so famous in Loyalty Academy because he had good grades, was good-looking, and came from a top family. Most importantly, he was a great fighter. It could be said that he was the best fighter in the Academy.

In the past, some hooligans came to bully a student from Loyalty Academy. Bryan stepped in and fought the five hooligans all at once. They were all sent to the hospital, while Bryan, alone, was unscathed.

Now, Catherine didn’t know better than to publicly refuse Bryan like this. Everyone believed that it was the end of her.

Even David, one of Bryan’s most loyal sidekicks, couldn’t help but worry for Catherine. She was doomed, as it was so scary when Bryan got mad.

His Nanny Mate Chapter 250 By Eve Above Story

His Nanny Mate Chapter 250 By Eve Above Story

The time between Michael going to prison and Daisy’s birth were such a whirlwind of activity that the months practically flew by. Ethan and Kelly wound up being transferred to a mental health facility. I think that was better for them in the long run, as the things that they did were ultimately the result of Michael’s brainwashing. I didn’t hold any grudges against them; in fact, Edrick and I visited them on a monthly basis, and the medication and therapy that they went through seemed to be helping a bit. Of course, Kelly could never get over her obsession with Edrick. Nor could Ethan get over his obsession with me. It was very likely that they would spend years in that place, but at least we could have somewhat normal conversations with them when we went to visit. Michael, however, had no visitors and I didn’t feel the least bit bad about it. Verona eventually finalized her divorce with him, and she got most of his money as well as the house. She became the matriarch of the Morgan family, and over the next six months we went to countless wonderful parties hosted by Verona where there was no drama or fighting. It felt good to finally have a chance to enjoy attending those sorts of parties without judgment or hatred. My status as the Golden Wolf was quickly discovered by the public. There were, of course, some fringe groups who wanted me dead, but they had no way of killing the Golden Wolf now that the knife was gone. Thanks to what happened at the cliff, the future generations of the Golden Wolf would be allowed to live and continue to create peace in the world. I continued teaching at the school, and split my time with the orphanage and the Humanity’s Reach Initiative  as well. I was on track to become the next headmistress at the school someday, but I still didn’t know if that was what I wanted. Countless humanitarian organizations were still begging me to work for them, and the prospect of trying something new was exciting to me. Since I continued teaching, I only volunteered for these organizations instead. On more than one occasion, Edrick accused me of doing too much and not getting enough rest. I just laughed at him because I knew that the baby and I could handle it. We had been through so much before, and the volunteering that I was doing was making the world a better place. Edrick continued being the WereCorp CEO, but he was much different after the events at the mountain estate. He became more fair toward his human employees, and even went so far as to purchase Sophia’s orphanage. He donated money to other local orphanages, and the two of us quickly became known as the biggest philanthropists in the city. On Christmas, we even threw a massive charity gala that beat a record for the most amount of money raised toward humanitarian organizations. It was of course run by the Humanity’s Reach Initiative, which had grown immensely since we joined and put in our efforts. The two of us were happy together. We didn’t have to hide our relationship from anyone — not even ourselves. In the penthouse, we were a little family. We didn’t get engaged, though, but that was okay with me. I was just excited to meet our daughter. I was lying on the couch after a long day of teaching and going to public events when I felt it. Selina had just given me a good scolding for overexerting myself so close to my due date, and now I was reading a book with a sandwich and a cup of tea sitting on the coffee table. Suddenly, I felt something strange. “Um… Selina?!” I called out. I dropped my book and stood, my eyes widening at the large wet spot left behind on the couch. Selina came running, and her eyes widened as well. “Did your…” Her voice faded and she clamped her hand over her mouth. I nodded slowly, both excited and terrified out of my mind. “My water broke. Daisy is on the way.” Edrick and I decided to name the baby Daisy. Daisy Anne Morgan… Someday, I would tell her how her big sister picked that name out, and it was the prettiest and most special name I had ever heard. The contractions began soon after my water broke. Selina was on the phone with Edrick and was telling him to get home when I felt the first one. I let out a loud groan and practically doubled over from the pain as I gripped the back of the couch with white knuckles. “Mom?” Ella asked, tugging on my skirt. “Are you alright?” I nodded and swallowed, feeling myself already beginning to sweat from the pain. “Yes, love. It’s called a contraction.” Ella c****d her head to the side. “What does that mean?” I gritted my teeth through the pain and managed a smile. “It means that your little sister is trying to get out,” I said, pinching Ella’s cheek. I was overtaken then by another wave of pain, and Selina came scurrying out of the kitchen with a worried look on her face. “Edrick is on his way. I’ll take you to the hospital now if you want—” “No.” I shook my head firmly. “I want to wait for Edrick.” Selina opened her mouth to protest at first, but then quickly shut it again. I could tell that she knew that there was no changing my mind now, and so she and Ella both stayed with me while I paced back and forth around the living room, clutching my belly as waves of contractions came over me. Finally, Edrick burst out of the elevator with a wild look on his face. His tie was loosened, his shirt was half untucked, and his hair was a mess. He looked like he practically flew here. I couldn’t help but laugh. “You look ridiculous,” I teased. “Mom peed on the couch!” Ella shouted. Selina hushed Ella. “Don’t be rude!” she scolded. “It’s not urine! It’s called amniotic fluid.” Ella furrowed her brow, still clutching my skirt. “Well, it looks like pee.” Edrick and I both burst out laughing. Ella never ceased to lighten the mood, even when she didn’t mean to. Within minutes, Edrick and I were on the way to the hospital. Ella threw a royal fit when she found out that she couldn’t come until later, but I knew that it would likely be hours spent in the hospital and that it would be worse if she came now. As Edrick drove, he clutched my hand and kept looking over at me nervously, as though I would explode or even just disappear into thin air. “I love you,” Edrick said as he took a turn. Through the pain of the contractions, I could hardly speak. I could only smile back at him, and I squeezed his hand three times. Over the past six months, we had developed a secret code to say I love you without having to speak… And at that moment, I needed to use that secret code more than ever. Edrick grinned and squeezed back. Soon enough, the hospital came into view. Despite the pain, I couldn’t stop smiling. I was so excited to finally meet our daughter.
