Chapter 933 You Look Handsome
“What?” Zobber’s eyes widened in disbelief, and her voice unconsciously became louder. Seeing Withal and Ronin nod in unison, Zobber felt disappointed instantly.
“Isn’t Catherine going too far? For her research, for her experiments, she completely disregards our safety? I almost died.” Zobber’s tone contained an indescribable anger.
Ronin said, “You know why I betrayed Catherine now? I followed Catherine for so many years. I didn’t want to do it. But when I was imprisoned and constantly tortured, I was desperate. No one came to save me, and I had no choice but to be killed. Obviously, Catherine had the power to save me, but she didn’t come, did she?”
Ronin’s voice grew sadder and sadder, and the expression on his face grew more and more desperate.
Zobber reached out and patted Ronin on the shoulder. “I’m sorry. I misunderstood you before. I only understand the despair now.”
Seeing that it was almost time, Ronin got straight to the point. “Zobber, join with us.”
Zobber looked down. She didn’t say anything, in a state of confusion.
“Think about it.” Ronin didn’t push it too hard. They were all injured and needed to rest. “Just think about it. I’ll take a nap. My back hurts.”
Catherine received a mysterious text message just after she got out of the lab.
“What are you looking at? You look so happy.” The familiar voice caught Catherine’s attention. As she looked up, she saw Thomas walking toward her with a smile.
“Thomas, did you come to see me?”
“Sort of.” Thomas nodded slightly. “I happened to have a conversation with a few professors from your school. I was thinking of coming by to see you, but I happened to bump into you.”
Catherine suggested, “Okay, I’ll treat you to a meal.”
“Okay, call Branden too. We’ll go to the courtyard we went to last time to have the meal with Aaron.”
Hearing his words, Catherine immediately took out her cell phone. ” Okay, I’ll ask Branden to make a reservation.”
Aaron’s courtyard required a reservation. She had to get Branden to make the reservation so they could have dinner there in the evening.
Hearing that she was going to ask Branden to make a reservation, Thomas immediately stopped her. “No need to make the reservation. I talked to Aaron. He asked me to just go over directly.”
Catherine immediately understood and joked with a smile, “That’s great. We’ll just go with you.”
Thomas patted her on the shoulder and waved his hand smartly. “Let’s go.”
Once Catherine informed Branden, Branden arranged for a car to take them to Aaron’s yard, and he left directly from the office so that there would be no delay.
Catherine and Thomas arrived at the yard first. The servant came to meet them directly at the door this time, and he was quite a bit more cordial than last time. “Mr. Theo, Mr. Melton is waiting for you in the yard. He said it’s still early for dinner, so he asked you to go play chess with him.”
Aaron also enjoyed playing chess, just like Thomas. The two elderly people immediately became friends and even started to cherish each other.
Thomas said to Catherine, “Let’s go play chess.”
Catherine had nothing to do, so she agreed. “Okay.”
Thomas left a prescription before he left last time, and Aaron’s hand got better after using the medicine in the prescription. And to thank Thomas, Aaron arranged this meal.
Seeing them appear, Aaron, who was playing chess alone immediately stood up. “Mr. Theo, come on. I want to play chess. You come at the right time. Let’s play first.”
Thomas didn’t refuse. After taking his seat, they began to play chess.
At the end of the game, Thomas stood up slowly and said with a smile, “I’ll go to the restroom. We go on later.”
“Go ahead.” Aaron gathered his chess pieces and sized up Catherine.
Catherine knew he was sizing her up. She said generously, “If you have something to say, just say it.”
Aaron bursts out laughing. “Miss Swann, you’re pretty smart. I don’t know why I always feel a sense of familiarity with you. Have I seen you before but forgotten because I’m old and forgetful? If that’s really the case, I’m sorry.”
Catherine smiled faintly and said in a low voice, “I’m sure we haven’t met before.”
“Oh, really?” Aaron nodded with a smirk, but from his eyes, Catherine could tell he had something he didn’t say.
Catherine followed his lead. “Or have you seen me somewhere without my knowledge?”
Aaron pretended to ponder for a moment. “I remember now. I seem to have seen your photos before. I have a grandson named Rylan. Do you know him?”
“Yes.” Catherine didn’t hide the truth.
She knew that it should be because she had people checking on Aaron and Rylan during this period, and was known by Aaron. Aaron was testing her.
Since Aaron had already found out, she would admit it openly and didn’t need to hide it.
According to the information she received, Aaron and Rylan were not related. There seemed to be a lot of conflicts between them, which didn’t match what she knew back then.
There was silence for a while before Aaron asked quietly, “How’s he doing?”
“I don’t know.” Catherine’s voice was icy cold. She didn’t really like to talk about other people’s situations.
Aaron didn’t keep asking questions about Rylan, and after a deep sigh, he said slowly, “If you run into him, please help me to ask him to come back and see me. I’m getting old, I don’t know how long I’ll live.”
In sympathy for Aaron, Catherine agreed.
“What are you chatting so happily about?” Thomas saw the two of them chatting from a distance, feeling a bit curious.
Catherine looked up at him and put on a mysterious smile. “I can’t tell you. It’s something secret.”
Thomas pretended to be angry. “You bad girl.”
The scene of Catherine and Thomas joking looked like a granddaughter and grandfather joking around. This scene reminded Aaron of Rylan again. “You guys rest here for a while. I’m going to go make the arrangement. Dinner will be ready later.”
Looking at Aaron’s distant and lonely back, Catherine took out her cell phone from her pocket and sent a message.
Footsteps approached and Catherine subconsciously turned around. Branden walked in slowly from the arched courtyard entrance with the light at his back.
The sunlight was right behind him, and the golden light surrounded his entire body. Catherine couldn’t see his face, but she could feel his powerful aura and extraordinary temperament. This oil painting-like scene was beautiful.
“What are you looking at so seriously?” The magnetic and pleasant voice pulled Catherine’s drifting thoughts back. She tilted her head back to reveal her delicate face. There was a smile in her beautiful big eyes. “What else can I look at? I’m looking at you. You look so handsome.”
