Chapter 843 Catherine Was Angry

Rylan stayed in the lab for as long as Catherine stayed in the lab. It was already late at night and Catherine didn’t intend to spend the night inside the lab. After packing up her things, she walked out of the lab.

Just as she went out, she bumped into Rylan who was guarding the door.

Seeing her appear, Rylan immediately greeted her, a smile appearing on her face, “You have such a long day. You’ve exerted a lot of physical strength, right? How about let me take you to have a supper to replenish?”

His seemingly thoughtful suggestion was not taken up by Catherine.

Catherine glanced at him and walked around him to leave.

Rylan bowed his head in silence for a moment before catching up again. “It’s so late. Are you planning on going to your apartment or back to your dorm? I can give you a ride to your dorm. The management personnel of your dorm…

Without waiting for him to finish his words, Catherine stopped and turned back to glare at him, her cold eyes gleaming with ferocity.

Even a man like Rylan couldn’t help but palpitate after seeing Catherine’s eyes.

“Rylan, you’re meddling broadly enough. You want to meddle in my experiments, and now you even want to meddle in my dorm. Believe it or not, I’ll chop your hands off right now,” Catherine said angrily.

Rylan never dared to question what Catherine said, and he was well aware of Catherine’s ability. He knew she could definitely do anything she wanted to do.

Catherine was already an unbelievable terror when she was only a teenager, let alone now. Rylan held up his hands in surrender. ” Catherine, don’t get me wrong. I just want to care about you. I…”

“Shut up!” Catherine’s cold words immediately shut Rylan up.

Rylan obediently followed behind Catherine, not daring to question too much.

The two of them walked one behind the other. Rylan tried to walk side by side with Catherine, but as soon as he increased his speed, Catherine would always accelerate before him.

After Rylan tried to catch up with Catherine a few times, he realized that Catherine was intentionally avoiding him and could only give up his original idea. “Catherine, is your experiment almost finished?”

Hearing the query, Catherine turned back to look at him. Her seemingly smiling eyes looked frightening.

Her cold, mocking voice was more than enough for Rylan to sense her unhappiness. “What? Mr. Melton, do I need to give you a report on the progress of the experiment now?”

Rylan waved his hand in a hurry. ” Catherine, that’s not what I meant. You know me…”

“Enough. The experiment didn’t yield any results. It’s not successful yet, and you’re happy to hear that?” Catherine increased her volume like a child frantically venting her grievances.

The chagrin on her face was undisguised, and a strong hostile aura radiated around her.

Rylan guessed that Catherine was in a bad mood because the experiment had not been successful and it was close to • the point of time when she was going to be certified.

He dared not talk about the topic of experiments anymore, for fear of stimulating Catherine. “Catherine, since you don’t want to talk about the experiment, then we won’t talk about it. By the way, I’ve been here in Loxton for so long, how come I haven’t seen Ronin?”

Rylan stared carefully at Catherine’s expression to check. He found that when he mentioned Ronin, an unnatural look flashed across Catherine’s face.

Although she hid it quickly, Rylan still noticed it.

“Ronin has been assigned to do something by me and won’t be at school for a while. If you miss him, contact him yourself, but it’s hard to say if you can get in touch,” said Catherine.

“Is that so? Well then, I’d better wait for Ronin to come back. Nothing is going on anyway. It’s just that we haven’t seen each other for too long, and it just so happens that we’re both in the same city now, so it’s best if we can meet.”

Rylan noticed the expression on Catherine’s face intensify a bit when he mentioned Ronin again. He didn’t try to probe any further and continued to walk with Catherine on the green path of the campus.

Watching Catherine step out of the campus gate, Rylan, who was still calm, finally couldn’t help himself.

He directly reached out and stopped Catherine. “Are you planning to go back to Branden’s apartment again?”

“It’s none of your business,” Catherine said nonchalantly. She thought inwardly, “When is it his turn to meddle in my affairs?”

“Catherine, haven’t you heard the rumors that Branden is now working with the Breens? They are going to be the strongest strategic partners. If he is sincere with you, do you think he will work with your enemies?” Rylan had a bitter look on his face. If it weren’t for Catherine’s ability, he’d just go ahead, knock her out, and take her away right now.

“What about you?” Catherine asked suddenly, causing Rylan to freeze.

She stepped forward and stood in front of Rylan, staring into his eyes. “What about you?”

Catherine’s sudden question confused Rylan.

Rylan looked at Catherine in surprise, his eyes somewhat evasive, afraid to look directly at her. “Catherine, what do you mean by that?”

Catherine didn’t answer him and left in big strides without even looking back.

Rylan stood still, looking at Catherine’s departing back, with mixed emotions in his heart.

He wondered if Catherine had found out something. Maybe things were starting to get tricky.

Catherine returned to the apartment building and was about to go upstairs when she saw Branden waiting in place.

When Branden saw her appear, he walked straight toward her. He reached out and took the document she was holding. “Feeling tired?”

“Not really,” Catherine responded indifferently, and the two of them walked side by side toward the upstairs.

Just as they entered the apartment, Catherine smelled a faint scent of lavender.

Noticing the change in her expression, Branden immediately explained the situation. “The essential oil of lavender helps relieve fatigue, so I bought it and gave it a try.”

Catherine took a light sniff and gave her comment. “It’s not bad.”

Upon hearing this, Branden’s face immediately revealed a smile. “It’s good that you like it.”

After that, Catherine realized that there was still quite a lot of food on the table. “Have you not had dinner yet?”

Catherine looked sideways at Branden.

“Yes, I did. They are all for you. If you want to eat, we’ll have some together. If you’re tired and don’t want to eat, • we’ll rest.”

Catherine didn’t believe Branden would be unaware of Rylan bringing her meal, but since he didn’t mention it at all, she wouldn’t deliberately bring it up. “Let’s eat a little.”

“Okay,” Branden said and his gaze at her was full of indulgence. “You sit there and rest for a bit. I’ll heat them up.”

Catherine then realized that a massage chair had been placed inside the living room.

She hadn’t seen it when she left the apartment this morning, so it should be a new item Branden had just bought.

She walked straight to the massage chair and sat down. The moment she sat down, the chair began to work with just the right force to relieve her of the fatigue from standing all day.

A few minutes later, Branden brought hot food out of the kitchen. The moment he looked up was the moment his eyes filled with distress.

Catherine lay quietly in the massage chair, breathing evenly as she slept.

Branden didn’t dare to wake her up, nor did he dare to come forward and cover her with a blanket, afraid of disturbing her.

He could only turn up the temperature in the room to prevent her from getting cold.

Looking at her sleeping face, Branden’s expression gradually softened. He thought to himself, “Give me a little more time, and soon everything will be over.”
