Chapter 551 Catherine's Boyfriend When Catherine spoke, Branden had already gotten up and stood behind her. In the moonlight streaming through the window, his perfect abs were clearly visible.
“Aren’t you going out?” His deep voice brought Catherine's wandering thoughts back.
As Catherine snapped back to reality, Branden had already put on a white shirt. While she was in a daze, he casually picked up her jacket and helped her put it on.
But this jacket was a bit... thick. It was summer now, but he had brought her a long-sleeved jacket.
Noticing Catherine’s puzzled expression, Branden explained earnestly, “It gets chilly at night. It’s better to wear more.” This wasn’t the first tBranden had done something like this. Indeed, nights were much colder than the daytime, so Catherine went along with him. The main reason was that she felt it would be too troublesto take off her clothes again.
The two of them went downstairs together. Branden didn’t notify anyone. He just took the car keys and brought Catherine along.
“Address,” he said.
Catherine forwarded the location that Withal had just sent to her phone to Branden.
Originally, Catherine wanted to tell him to stay at home. But seeing that Branden had no intention of consulting her, she agreed.
The address given by Withal was for a hotel in the city center. The busier the place, the safer it was for them now.
When they arrived at the door of the room, Catherine dik Withal’s number. The next second, the door opened.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWithal was about to say something to Catherine but froze upon seeing Branden next to her.
This was the first tCatherine had brought a man along. Although he knew they were in a relationship, he didn’t expect their relationship to be this firm.
Withal cback to his senses and stepped aside, inviting the two of them in.
“Where's Zobber?” Catherine asked as soon as she entered the room.
Withal pointed in the direction of the room behind him. Catherine glanced at Branden. He nodded coldly and sat down on the nearby sofa.
Catherine walked toward the room. Pushing open the door, Catherine saw Zobber lying on the bed. Her complexion was pale, and her eyes were closed.
Perhaps sensing something, Zobber struggled to open her eyes. The moment she saw Catherine, her previously dull eyes suddenly lit up. She tried to sit up, but her movements caused pain in her wounds. Her face contorted in agony, and she involuntarily gasped in pain.
Catherine leaned against the side, her sparkling gem-like eyes fixed on Zobber.
“Good. You're still alive,” Catherine said in a cold voice. Instead of deterring Zobber’s enthusiasm, these words only made Zobber more excited.
“Catherine, you knew | was injured, so you chere to see me, right?” Before Catherine could respond, Zobber was already getting emotional.
“Catherine, you're too good to me. | knew you must lovethe most, right? Catherine couldn't help but roll her eyes. She remembered that when she recruited Zobber, Zobber wasn’t this emotional.
“What has she experienced over the years?” Catherine thought. “When did she becso dramatic?” “Alright, if you can get out of bed, then cout.” Catherine crossed her arms and walked out of the room. She had entered the room to assess Zobber’s injuries.
Now she knew that Zobber’s injuries weren't severe.
Since that was the case, Catherine decided to deal with the important matters first. She wanted to know who the other party was and why they dared to attack Zobber.
When Withal saw Catherine cout, he quickly went into the room to help Zobber out. He knew that Catherine was going to talk about the safe.
Withal supported Zobber and led her to the living room. When she saw Branden, who was sitting next to Catherine, she was completely shocked.
“This guy is really handsome!” She gave an exclamation of surprise in her mind. That made sense. Smen only looked good on the surface but lacked charisma and presence.
Branden was different. Not only was his face stunningly handsome, but he also exuded a domineering aura from head to toe. It made people both infatuated with his appearance and awed by him.
Most importantly, he was sitting next to Catherine.
Seeing Zobber staring at Branden in a daze, Withal quickly pulled her arm, signaling her to calm down. However, he accidentally tugged on Zobber’s wound, and she erupted in anger.
“Withal, can’t you see that I'm injured? Why are you pullingwhen I'm already in pain?” Her tone was serious, indicating that she was getting annoyed.
Withal rolled his eyes. He had kindly saved her, but she didn’t appreciate it.
“I asked you to cout to talk about the mission, not to drool over Catherine's boyfriend,” he said.
Zobber was about to retort, but then she processed what Withal had said and froze for a moment. She turned her head and stared at Withal, then at Branden, her face full of disbelief. ” What did you say? Catherine's boyfriend?” Withal didn’t want to talk to her, so he chose to remain silent.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing that Withal ignored her, Zobber locked her gaze on Branden.
This time, her gaze toward Branden no longer held infatuation but more of curiosity.
“Are you really Catherine's boyfriend?” she asked.
Branden coldly raised his eyes to look at Zobber, his gaze as sharp as a knife.
Being stared at by him, Zobber took a step back in fear. His gaze was too intimidating, making her feel uneasy.
She had never been afraid of anyone in her life, and no one had ever made her feel this way with just a glance.
He was the first.
Knowing she might not be his match, Zobber looked at Catherine with pleading eyes and a pitiful, aggrieved expression on her face.
“Catherine, is he really your boyfriend? 11 Catherine leaned toward Branden. He skillfully wrapped his arm around her waist, allowing her to lean comfortably against him.
After that, Catherine's gaze slowly fell on Zobber. She raised an eyebrow as she asked softly, “Since when do | have to report to you when | find a boyfriend? This seemingly emotionless sentence frightened Zobber. Her face turned pale, and her whole body involuntarily trembled.
“Catherine, I'm sorry. | didn’t mean that... | just...” Zobber started to babble in fear.
Catherine didn’t want to scold Zobber, but Zobber was talking too much. If she didn’t give Zobber a warning, Zobber would continue to babble on.
“Enough, let's get to the point,” Catherine said. Zobber immediately closed her mouth.
Withal explained the basic situation.
The three of them focused on discussing the matter, unaware that behind Catherine, Branden’s expression suddenly becserious after hearing their conversation.
“Wait a minute.” Catherine turned around in confusion to look at Branden.
