All Her Secrets By Chestnut Chapter 46

Chapter 46 I Do What I Want

This was probably the first time Branden had ever been rejected in his life.

It was also the first time he had taken the initiative and been rejected.

However, Branden wasn’t upset at all. Instead, a faint, mischievous smile played on his thin lips as he spoke.

“Give me a reason!”

Just like last time with Catherine at the Charm Bar, he wanted an explanation.

He would let Catherine go if she could convince him.

Catherine raised an eyebrow, her attitude indifferent, her eyes carrying a hint of coldness and rebelliousness. At this moment, she exuded a wild and arrogant aura.

“I do what I want!”

She never needed to justify her actions, no matter who she was with.

A sense of rebellion and untamed spirit emanated from her entire being, which was remarkable to witness.

After a few seconds of silence, Branden chuckled.

“Let me take you back home!” he said.

Catherine knew that this man was up to something.

Perhaps he knew from the beginning that she wouldn’t agree to have dinner with him, so he intended to give her a ride back home.

Catherine glanced at him and then walked straight toward his car.

Paxton saw her approaching and instinctively bent down respectfully to open the car door for her.

As he opened the car door, Paxton realized he had done so subconsciously.

For some reason, Catherine had an aura that commanded respect from people, making them. treat her with reverence instinctively.

Bryan didn’t even catch a glimpse of Catherine as he rushed out of school.

All he saw was a top-of-the-line Maybach driving past him. Glancing at the back of the car, wished he could be the owner.

Sincere High School was a renowned private school for the wealthy in Casier, so it was not uncommon to see several luxury cars like the Maybach there.

What caught Bryan’s attention wasn’t the luxury car itself but the high-level license plate on the vehicle.

Bryan stared at the car for a few seconds, unable to comprehend why someone who could afford such a luxury vehicle would be there.

On the other hand, Catherine was in the car with Branden.

After getting into the car, Catherine remained motionless, lazily gazing out of the window.

Branden, too, remained silent. He had his laptop with him and worked throughout the journey. He didn’t even spare a glance at Catherine, as if he had come to the school solely to pick her up and take her home.

Even Paxton couldn’t understand such behavior.

He thought his boss had come a long way to say something to Catherine. He didn’t expect it to be a ride back home.

Paxton didn’t know what was happening, and he didn’t dare to ask.

After finishing his work, Brandon closed his laptop and turned to look at Catherine beside him.

Catherine leaned against the window and closed her eyes, seemingly at rest.

Her fair complexion made her stand out in a crowd, and her skin had a radiant and flawless quality.

The slanting sunlight cast a gentle halo on her body, revealing her long and thick eyelashes as her eyes remained shut. Her delicate facial features made her look almost too beautiful to be

real.

After Brandon looked at her for a few seconds, Catherine opened her eyes. Perhaps she turned her head because Branden’s gaze was too focused, and their eyes met instantly.

Perhaps due to exhaustion, Catherine’s eyes looked tired. At this moment, she didn’t seem that fierce but relaxed and gentle, which made her appear even more adorable.

After a few seconds of observing her, Branden couldn’t help but curl his lips into a faint smile.

He had the desire to touch her smooth, rosy, and soft cheeks.

As this thought crossed his mind, he extended his hand.

Catherine didn’t react immediately when his hand touched her face.

His slender fingers gently glided over her cheeks, sending a shiver down her spine.

She never liked it when people got too close to her. When Branden made the move, she could have easily slapped his hand away. However, for some reason, she hesitated for a moment and didn’t act. Even she couldn’t understand why.

Could it be that she judged others solely based on their appearance?

Noticing that she didn’t resist, Branden spoke slowly with a deep, magnetic voice that carried a seductive allure and drew her in.

“Are you tired?”

Hearing his voice, Catherine felt as if she was being hypnotized and instinctively nodded.

Although she had slept all day, she still felt drained.

She could go for days and nights without sleep and then sleep for days and nights.

Not sleeping felt like wasting her youthful prime during idle moments like this, didn’t it?

At this moment, she appeared sweet and gentle, a rare sight. A faint smile appeared in Branden’s bright and deep eyes. He reached out and opened a drawer on the side, taking out a blanket and placing it in front of Catherine.

“Just rest. You can use the blanket.”

Catherine glanced at the blanket but didn’t make a move. As if reading her mind, Branden added, “It’s brand new, never been used!”

Only then did Catherine reach out and cover herself with the blanket before closing her eyes once again.

It was rush hour, and the traffic was heavy.

There was still some time left before they reached Catherine’s home, allowing her to rest for a while.

Looking through the rearview mirror, Paxton once again found himself shocked. A flicker of surprise flashed in his typically cold eyes.

Could it be that his boss was genuinely interested in this girl?

Paxton knew his boss well and had never seen him voluntarily offer a blanket to someone. At this point, he found it hard to believe what he was witnessing in the car.

Even if Triston was critically ill and collapsed right in front of his boss, the most he would do was call an ambulance. There was no way he would extend a helping hand.

Since Catherine had entered the picture, Paxton had been more astonished than he had been in the past twenty years.

As the car passed by a street bustling with food trucks, Catherine suddenly opened her eyes and reached out to lower the window.

The rich aroma of various cuisines wafted in, including fried chicken, Indian curry, tacos, and other delectable dishes.

The scent of barbecue was particularly enticing to Catherine, tantalizing her taste buds and making her mouth water.

“Would you like to have some?”

A seductive voice came from behind Catherine, but she remained unmoved, leaning quietly.

However, the person behind her seemed persistent. Even though Catherine didn’t respond, he continued speaking. “I’ve heard there’s an incredibly authentic international barbecue restaurant on this street. All the ingredients are sourced from different countries, and there isn’t a single negative review online!”

Catherine gazed at the lively and vibrant scene of the street, adorned with colorful lights. She clenched her teeth quietly and couldn’t help feeling a tinge of disdain, as this man knew how to charm people.

She hadn’t been hungry, but his words suddenly triggered a craving for food within her.

She abruptly turned around, locking eyes with the handsome man who wore a smirk on his face. “How do you know there isn’t a single negative review online?” she asked, somewhat displeased.

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.
