Chapter 785 You’ve Changed

Ronin asked Catherine to have dinner with him but was turned down. He looked back at his friends and asked, “Did any of you ask Catherine to dinner? Why didn’t you tell me? I was refused.”

“We can’t compete with you regarding the task of making the appointment with Catherine,” Zobber said discontentedly.

Ronin turned his gaze to Withal. Upon realizing it, Withal immediately shrugged, indicating that it had nothing to do with him.

This made Ronin feel a little strange. Could it be that Mr. Duncan is here?”

Hearing Ronin’s doubt, Zobber came back to her senses. “No way. We just got back to Loxton. If Mr. Duncan could have finished his business in Casier that quickly, he would have come back with us in the morning. How could he possibly want to part with Catherine?”

Although Zobber’s usual words were somewhat unreliable, Ronin felt that her words now made perfect sense. So, who did Catherine go to eat with?”

“Maybe her roommates? Amelia or the others?” Zobber answered nonchalantly.

She thought Ronin was just so worried about Catherine that he even wanted to know who Catherine had dinner with.

If it weren’t for Catherine having Branden by her side now, Ronin would still insist on being her 24-hour full- time nanny.

Ronin quickly refuted Zobber’s words. ” No way. I asked Amelia. She’s not with Catherine. And Amelia also said that Catherine had just gone back to the laboratory and went out again. She seemed to have made an appointment with someone.”

Catherine didn’t have many friends in Loxton. Usually, she only made appointments with them and stayed with them.

If they didn’t ask her out, she would immerse herself in the laboratory, thinking about her experimental projects.

Zobber stopped her game and looked at Ronin with serious eyes. “So, who can Catherine go to dinner with?”

Ronin couldn’t help but roll his eyes at her. He asked in his heart, “If I knew it, why would I be here to ask you?”

“Didn’t you place a tracking device on her? Why don’t you check it?” Zobber suggested.

Ronin wanted to strangle Zobber, the useless woman. He placed a tracking device on Catherine, but it was used to confirm her location in times of crisis, not to track her whereabouts.

If Catherine discovered that Ronin had installed a tracking device on her, he would be finished.

Withal, who was standing on the sidelines, stood up impatiently when he saw that the two were still grinding away at their discussion. “Are you guys so bored? Catherine is an adult. Can’t she have a little privacy? Hurry up, and let’s go for dinner. I’m starving.”

Ronin couldn’t find Catherine’s whereabouts for the time being, so he agreed with Withal’s suggestion.

The three of them got into the car. Withal was about to start the vehicle when Ronin’s cell phone rang.

He thought it was a reply from Catherine and was about to check it.

Two more rings came from Withal’s and Zobber’s cell phones.

Ronin bared his teeth and smiled. ” What a coincidence!”

But when Ronin took out his cell phone and checked the message, his face instantly became serious. He said with his eyes filled with coldness. ” Something’s wrong!”

Withal and Zobber’s faces were just as serious. This was because the messages the three of them received were the same content, all of which were rescue messages sent from their organization.

There were actually people who dared to cause trouble in their territory. Those people were simply seeking death.

Ronin turned his head and asked the two, “What should we do? Should we notify Catherine?”

Zobber made an instant decision. ”

Didn’t Catherine go out for something? Then there’s no need to notify her. Besides, all three of us are here. What are you afraid of?”

Usually, when something happened, even if they reported it to Catherine, Catherine would just assign one of them to check it out.

Only as a last resort would Catherine personally take action.

After all, those small matters couldn’t alarm her. Just after Zobber said those words, Withal stepped on the accelerator and whizzed out in his car.

With all three of them making moves at the same time, there was nothing that couldn’t be solved.

Rylan booked the restaurant, and Catherine sat leisurely in the restaurant. In the high-class restaurant, Catherine was different from those dressed in fancy clothes with elegant demeanors and even excessive limitations.

Catherine was dressed in casual clothes, with a casual and carefree posture. If not for her stunningly beautiful face, she probably wouldn’t even have had the chance to sit at the table at the moment.

Unlike her, Rylan’s mannerisms showed the unique aura of a nobleman.

Their excellent looks attracted many people.

Although Rylan was very low profile, the people who could sit in this restaurant were wise people of wise people. They could see Rylan’s wealth at a glance.

The watch Rylan wore on his wrist was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and his wealthy demeanor emanating from the inside out instantly made him the focus of attention among the ladies present. Catherine became the target of envy of many people.

After Rylan ordered the dishes, he handed the menu to the waiter.

Catherine didn’t even look at the menu.

With Rylan by her side, she never had to worry about that. Sure enough, when the waiter served the dishes, every single dish was to Catherine’s liking.

Rylan looked at her with expectant eyes. “Are they all your favorite?”

Catherine knew he was referring to the dishes on the table, and she nodded slightly in response.

This response made Rylan momentarily freeze.

He had clearly ordered the food according to Catherine’s tastes. Although Catherine nodded her head, it was clear to Rylan that Catherine did not like them very much.

He had known Catherine for many years. They were friends who had shared life and death, and he understood Catherine’s every move.

He didn’t know that since Catherine had been with Branden, under Branden’s subconscious influence, Catherine had slowly given up her addiction to spicy food.

Her stomach condition did not allow her to eat such stimulating food.

Although Branden did not ask Catherine to stop having spicy food directly, he secretly helped Catherine not to eat spicy food.

Under Rylan’s gaze, Catherine picked up her cutlery.

Perhaps it had been too long since Catherine had eaten such a spicy dish. She suddenly felt uncomfortable to have spicy food. She almost choked on the spicy food.

Seeing her coughing, Rylan immediately brought warm water and handed it to her.

“Is it too spicy?” Rylan’s words were filled with concern.

Catherine didn’t hide it. “I haven’t eaten so spicy for a while. I can’t stand it now.”

Hearing this, on Rylan’s warm face, his eyebrows slightly frowned. With a puzzled expression, he asked, “You used to love spicy dishes. You don’t like them now?”

“My stomach is in a bad condition, so I stopped having spicy food!” Catherine’s words made the sparkle in Rylan’s eyes disappear instantly.

He knew Catherine very well. He knew how hard it was to make Catherine break a habit.

He thought Catherine would be like that for the rest of her life, but he didn’t expect her to change one day.

The seemingly insignificant small change brought a massive shock to Rylan. He thought to himself, “I haven’t contacted Catherine for the past few years. She has changed quite a bit.”
