All Her Secrets



Chapter 990 Wedding ArrangementsProperty © NôvelDrama.Org.

With the successful proposal, the next step was to plan the wedding. However, Catherine's situation was unique. Branden, besides being busy with his company, now had to take care of Catherine every day.

Karl wanted to take charge of all the wedding arrangements. He shared his thoughts with Branden, but to Karl's surprise, Branden flatly rejected the offer. He said, 'It's not up to me."

Seeing his grandson acting like a henpecked husband, Karl wished he could smack him on the head with a cane. He thought Branden disgraced the name of the Duncans.

But when Karl raised his hand, he suddenly thought that Branden had chosen Catherine as his partner. Since Catherine was outstanding, it was somewhat normal for Branden to act this way. He finally said, 'I'll talk to Catherine.'

Branden didn't stop him. If Karl wanted to do something, hardly anyone could stop him, so Branden just let him go. It wasn't a bad thing, after all.

Soon, Karl reached Catherine. "Catherine, I know both of you dislike troubles. But marriage is a big deal. Whether it's the Duncans or the Swanns, we're not ordinary families. I think you should have a proper wedding."

Seeing Catherine silent, Karl felt a bit uneasy. He worried that Catherine might disagree, and that would be embarrassing for him. He would face Branden's ridicule later.

He continued, "Catherine, don't worry. I'll take care of everything. I promise the wedding will be according to your preferences. We'll adopt whatever you like.'

Catherine couldn't help but smile at Karl's cautious demeanor. "Mr. Karl, I didn't say I disagree. You don't need to be nervous." She wasn't particularly concerned about the wedding. She just didn't want it to be troublesome. But since Karl cared so much, she would follow his advice.

Karl only relaxed after a moment, realizing that Catherine had agreed. "So, you're letting me take care of it for you?

Catherine nodded. "Don't tire yourself too much. Just keep it simple."

In Karl's mind, the union between the Duncans and the Swanns wasn't something that could be casually arranged. However, Catherine didn't need to know about that. He would take care of it. "Leave everything to me. Just tell me what you like."

*Rest assured, I'll handle everything for you," Catherine replied.

After seeing off Karl, Catherine was visited by Thomas, who had a worried expression. She asked, "What's going on with you? You don't look well."

Thomas sighed deeply and then took a seat. "Nothing. I just feel uneasy."

"Uneasy about what?' Catherine asked curiously. Content belong to NôvelDráma. Org.

Thomas whispered, "Your grandfather and I were good friends. Now that he's gone, seeing you getting married without others' help makes me feel uneasy."

Catherine instantly understood. No wonder Thomas arrived right after Karl left. They came for the same matter.

Catherine smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Theo, if you're willing, please help me take care of the matters regarding my marriage."

Thomas had been waiting for this, and upon hearing it, he beamed with joy. "Great! Leave everything to me. I promise to make you have a wonderful wedding."

"Okay." Catherine nodded.

After Thomas left happily, Catherine could finally take a break.

*****

Planning a wedding was no simple task, especially when it involved the union of the Duncans and the Swanns. Karl and Thomas tirelessly prepared various details, ensuring a grand wedding while not exhausting the couple.

Throughout the process, Catherine hardly had to worry about anything. She enjoyed a carefree time, leaving everything in the hands of the two old gentlemen. She just awaited the day of the wedding.

Aaron was also on the guest list. Thomas invited him to help plan the menu for the banquet. Reflecting on Catherine's upcoming marriage, Aaron couldn't help but think about his wayward grandson. He thought it was about time he visited him. Through some connections, he went to the prison and met Rylan.

Seeing his grandfather, Rylan was surprised, "Grandpa, you are willing to come see me?" Aaron glared at him and said indignantly, "I came to see if you're dead!"

Rylan chuckled, not getting upset by the words. 'Grandpa, not this time. Maybe next time."

Seeing him still capable of joking, Aaron felt somewhat reassured about his time inside.

After a long silence, Rylan suddenly asked, "How is she doing?"

Aaron knew that he asked about Catherine. Despite being born into wealth, Rylan's upbringing was harsh. He likely cherished only Catherine in his heart. Regrettably, loving her didn't guarantee her reciprocation.

Aaron sighed deeply and then said, "The wedding date is set.

Rylan paused for a moment before realizing what his grandfather meant. He then smiled wryly and said, 'I won't be able to see her in a wedding dress. Perhaps that will be a regret. Grandpa, help me fulfill one last wish."

*Just say it." Aaron nodded.

With a smile, Rylan looked ahead and softly said, "When you attend the wedding, take a picture of her in her wedding dress for me. That day, she must be as beautiful as I dreamt."

Aaron felt a pang of bitterness. He knew Rylan was suffering, but this was what it was. If Rylan were in good condition now, even if Branden were outstanding, Aaron would encourage Rylan to pursue her. However, given Rylan's past actions and current circumstances, pursuing Catherine would only cause more trouble for both parties. It was better to gracefully let go and wish each other happiness.

Aaron said, 'Rest assured. I'll take care of it."

Rylan felt relieved. Although he couldn't be by Catherine's side, knowing she was happy would be enough.

"Have you been taking your medicine lately?" Aaron asked.

Rylan nodded. "Catherine arranged for someone to deliver it to me, and I've been taking it on time."

"That's good." Aaron nodded, feeling somewhat relieved.

Thomas mentioned that as long as Rylan took his medicine on time, he could live for a while longer. Aaron didn't want to see Rylan pass away before him. Every additional day for Rylan meant a glimmer of hope.
