All Her Secrets

Chapter 929 Is It for Me?

Catherine saw the message from Branden half an hour later. She never brought her phone into the laboratory, and today was no exception. Although it wasn’t time to leave yet, she often left early. Branden’s urgent message made her decide to set aside her current work and go see what was going on.

Arriving at the school gate, Catherine noticed a car parked not far away. This time, Branden wasn’t waiting in the car as he usually did. His tall figure leaning against the car attracted quite a bit of attention.

Despite the admiring glances from many girls, no one dared to approach, knowing about their relationship.

Branden, focused on his phone, seemed to be waiting for an important call or message.

Catherine quickened her pace and approached. When Branden looked up and saw her, his cold expression lit up as he asked, “Why didn’t you reply to my message?” He had been waiting for her message, planning to wait for her in the laboratory building.

Catherine didn’t like him using his privilege, knowing he wouldn’t drive onto the campus without a special reason.

“Why the rush to find me? Is something wrong?” she asked. Branden had been acting strangely today, repeatedly contacting her and even coming to pick her up early. She was worried something was amiss.

“It’s nothing. Get in the car.”

“Alright.” Catherine followed him into the car, and as soon as she got in, Branden took out a beautiful sapphire blue box and placed it in front of her.

“Is this for me?” Catherine looked at Branden with surprise.

Branden’s gentle smile deepened. ” Open it and see if you like it!”

Receiving an unexpected gift without any special occasion made Catherine feel a bit strange. However, her curiosity got the better of her, and she opened the box in front of Branden. As the box opened, her eyes lit up.

Inside was a beautiful necklace made of a string of diamonds, each likely over a carat, with small diamond tassels around them, making the diamonds even more dazzling. The centerpiece was a large sapphire, clear and flawless, with a perfect cut that showcased its extraordinary charm.

It was undoubtedly a priceless necklace.

“For me?” Catherine looked at Branden with a puzzled expression.

Branden nodded and chuckled. “Who else would I give it to?”

After getting a definite answer, Catherine became even more puzzled. ” Why suddenly give me such a valuable gift?”

“Do you not like it?” Branden frowned, his expression somewhat indescribable.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

“Perhaps no girl would refuse such a gift!” Catherine smiled wryly. “It’s just that it’s so expensive.”

Although she wasn’t lacking in money, she never indulged in luxury or pursued designer brands or jewelry.

“If you like it, keep it.” Branden took the necklace from the box and gently placed it around Catherine’s neck.

Today, Catherine happened to be wearing a top with a wide neckline, showcasing her perfect neck. The sparkling necklace, against her flawless skin, looked even more beautiful.

Some people needed fancy jewelry to enhance their beauty, while some could make the already dazzling jewelry even more beautiful. Catherine was the latter. When she wore this priceless necklace, it looked even more attractive.

Branden also realized that despite being with Catherine for so long, he seemed to have not given her many gifts. Catherine was so special that he thought nothing in this world seemed worthy of her.

“I haven’t given you gifts before, but when I saw this necklace today, I felt it suited you, so I bought it,” Branden explained. He hadn’t given her anything because he took care of everything for her, from clothes and shoes to jewelry and bags. He wondered if there was a need to give her separate gifts.

Catherine looked at Branden with a sweet smile and said, “In that case, I’ll keep it. It’s a beautiful necklace, and I love it!”

Seeing her sweet smile, he felt relieved. Although in his eyes, these jewelry pieces didn’t match her, he realized that no girl would be unhappy to receive a gift, and Catherine was no exception. He decided he needed to collect more beautiful gifts to keep the freshness of their love.

After a while, they arrived at a luxurious hotel. As the car stopped, a waiter respectfully opened the door. The hotel manager immediately welcomed them. “Mr. Duncan, your reservation is ready. Shall I take you and Miss Swann there now?”

Branden nodded slightly and then linked arms with Catherine.

Although the hotel was one of the old luxury hotels in Loxton, it had recently been completely renovated. It was said that this restaurant was currently the most popular and luxurious one in Loxton, highly sought after for dates and proposals. With only three tables available each day, reservations were booked a year in advance.

Today, the entire restaurant was booked by Branden.

Upon arrival, the manager greeted them and carefully introduced the restaurant’s features. The owner had personally called to emphasize the importance of not offending the VIP guests.

Branden paid little attention to the manager’s introduction, his gaze fixed on Catherine. “Do you like it?” he asked.

Catherine looked out through the enormous windows, feeling as if she were floating in the sky. “It looks amazing,” she replied, and Branden breathed a sigh of relief.

After observing Branden discreetly for a while, the manager felt much more at ease. “This is the menu, Mr. Duncan.”

Branden signaled for the menu, which the manager promptly handed to Catherine. After ordering, Branden asked Catherine to sit while he excused himself.

Not long after Branden left, the sound of a melodious piano filled the air. Catherine instinctively turned to look and was pleasantly surprised. There he was, dressed in a gray suit, resembling a prince, seated at the magnificent piano. His skilled fingers danced across the keys, producing a beautiful, enchanting melody.

Catherine rested her chin on her hand, her eyes filled with joy. She admitted that at that moment, she truly felt the romance and surprise.
