Chapter 984 They're Really Enviable

Catherine had never spent such a long time shopping. They wandered from the men's clothing area on the second floor of the mall to the maternal and child products area on the fourth floor.

Seeing the wide array of maternal and child products, Catherine was somewhat intrigued.

"Let's go in and take a look," Branden suggested gently. Catherine hesitated for a while and then walked in.

The baby shoes in the store were extremely cute. They were even smaller than palms, but they were irresistible.

The shop assistant came forward. After seeing Catherine and Branden's appearances, she froze for a moment and quietly glanced at Catherine's belly.

Seeing Catherine's flat belly, the shop assistant guessed that Catherine hadn't been pregnant for too long. She said to Catherine, "Miss, if you don't know the gender of the baby, we suggest these. This blue color is suitable for both male and female babies. You can take a look."

Catherine was immediately attracted by the products introduced by the shop assistant. It was unknown if the shop assistant was too professional or the products there were really good, she found them particularly cute and charming.

Before she could decide what products to order, Branden handed his bank card to the shop assistant. "We'll take all of these.'

The shop assistant froze for a moment before reacting. She then took the bank card from Branden hurriedly and respectfully. "Sir, please wait a moment. I'll arrange it for you right away."

Catherine thought it was exaggerating to buy these all. She had heard that babies grew especially fast when they were little and they didn't need many clothes and shoes at all. Content belong to NôvelDráma. Org.

If they bought all of these, it might be a waste. Catherine frowned slightly, her expression looked somewhat hesitant. "Do we need to buy so many?"

Branden raised his eyebrows confidently. "We'll give him a new set every day. It won't be a waste."

His words made Catherine unable to refute.

The shop assistant had arranged everything, so there was no point in Catherine saying anything else.

The two left their address and came out of the store.

As soon as they left, the shop assistants began to discuss.

"They're indeed a perfect match. Judging from their appearances, their children will definitely look amazing in the future."

"That's right. Not only were they good-looking, but they were also born into a wealthy family. The way of that gentleman who took the card to pay just now was too handsome."

"They're really enviable."

Coming out of the mall, Catherine herself found it hard to believe that she would actually shop for so long one day.

'It's almost time. Why don't we go back?"

Branden had never opposed her decision. "Okay, let's go back now. If you don't want to stay home, we'll come out again tonight."

His arrangement satisfied Catherine.

Catherine was a little worried that Karl would be angry because she ran out privately.

Just when they arrived home, she saw Karl with a stern face. When she was about to say something to comfort Karl, Branden made a move faster.

He handed over the bag of baby clothes he was carrying.

Karl glanced at it suspiciously and opened it at Branden's signal.

He had originally decided not to forgive Branden and Catherine no matter what they said or did. He wanted to make them remember the lesson, but when he opened the packaging bag, his anger completely disappeared.

He touched the little clothes lovingly, carefully placing them in his hands. When he looked up at Catherine, a gentle smile filled his eyes. "You went shopping?"

Catherine nodded slightly. "We just happened to be passing by the mall and went shopping."

Karl commented happily, "Not bad. We'll go out shopping together when you're feeling better. I'm going to give these clothes to the butler to clean. None of you know anything about that, leave it to me."

Catherine was secretly relieved and gave Branden an approving look, which made Branden a little smug.

Karl thoughtfully asked Catherine to go rest, and Catherine hurried toward her room.

She was used to being alone, and it was rare for her to get so much attention from so many people. She knew they were all caring about her, she just wasn't used to it.

Branden followed her in. He couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw her lying on the bed with a dashing posture. "Is it that hard? Shall I send Grandpa back to Casier?"

Thomas was in Loxton, and once he recovered from his injury, he could come and take care of Catherine.

Thomas had excellent medical skills, and Branden would not be at ease without him in Loxton.

As for Karl, he was originally there to spend some time. If his presence would stress Catherine out, then Branden could send him back to Casier at any time.

Branden had heard it long ago that even if a daughter-in-law had a good relationship with her in-laws, they couldn't live together. Because after a long time, even the most ironclad relationship would have conflicts. Hearing Branden's suggestion, Catherine was obviously a bit shocked. She didn't expect him to say that.

She quickly waved her hand and rejected Branden's proposal. Karl was already old. He was willing to come to Loxton to accompany them because he loved them. Otherwise, with Karl's reputation, they would have no chance to meet him. Many people wanted to meet him and build a relationship with him but they had no chance.

'It's fine that Mr. Karl stays here. Why do you want to let him go? After I recover a bit, he won't be as nervous as he is now."

At Karl's age, he only hoped that the younger generation in his family would do well, and Catherine understood it. She felt a bit embarrassed not because she couldn't accept it, but because she wasn't used to it.

Seeing her resolute attitude, Branden decided to follow her arrangements.

He asked Catherine to lie down and rest, while he went to prepare dinner. It was best for Catherine not to dine at restaurants now. Cooking with fresh ingredients at home could maximize the health of food.

After Branden left, Catherine continued to rest on the comfortable chaise longue. Just as she was about to close her eyes to rest, the sound of the phone ringing came to her ears.

Struggling to open her eyes, she fumbled for the cell phone and put it to her ear.

'Catherine, it's me."

Catherine silently rolled her eyes. "I know it's you even if you don't say so."

No one but Zobber had that loud voice.

On the other end of the line, Zobber laughed awkwardly. "Come on. Don't talk about me like that. I'm here to report something to you, something very serious."

Catherine had experience that even the most serious thing would appear very funny if it was told by Zobber. "Go ahead. Let me see how serious it is."

Zobber thought to herself, "Catherine is in a special situation right now, if Mr. Duncan finds out that I told Catherine about this, I'm afraid I'll be killed outright. But they said Rylan would never cooperate if he didn't see Catherine."

Zobber and the others had no way but had to decide to ask Catherine to come to meet Rylan.

After hesitating for a while, Zobber still decided to tell Catherine. She said seriously, "Rylan asked to meet you once."

After hearing this, Catherine did not change the expression on her face and said coldly, "Got it."

She was not surprised that Rylan would make this request. 'Since you want to see me, then I'll go," Catherine thought to herself.
