All Her Secrets

Chapter 989 Marry Me

Ronin carefully helped Catherine out of the car, and the two of them made their way to the dock to board the ship. "Catherine, look at this!"

Catherine raised her head to the night sky as Ronin pointed. Numerous winks suddenly appeared. She realized there were rows of drones, creating various shapes through backstage control.

Catherine was captivated by the display and took a closer look. When she saw her name, she was surprised." Ronin, you did this?'

Ronin smirked. "Of course not. Catherine, let's get on the ship. There's a surprise waiting for you."

With Ronin's assistance, Catherine slowly boarded the massive ship. As soon as she stepped on the deck, she noticed several familiar faces.

Zobber, dressed provocatively, waved at her. "Catherine, I'm over here."

Catherine glanced at her with a smile. "Weren't you off having fun? Why are you back?"

Zobber smiled and winked playfully. "Catherine, there are times I can't miss. Today is one of them."

Not only Zobber but also Audrey and Karl were on the deck, all smiling at her. Catherine had a premonition, but curiosity prevailed.

With the blessings and smiles of the crowd, Catherine approached. Thomas personally supported her to move forward.

A melodious tune echoed, and Catherine looked up. On the front deck, Branden sat straight at an exquisite black piano. Bright spotlights enveloped the piano, resembling a huge moon at sea.

Branden played the piano, creating a beautiful melody that felt dreamlike and enchanting. He leaned toward the microphone and slowly turned his head. His sharp eyes softened as he saw Catherine. Then his deep, attractive voice came. "I thought I would be alone forever, but fate allowed me to meet you. You're like sunshine, illuminating my once dark and cold world. I hope my future will always be with you."

As the music concluded, Branden stood up and walked to Catherine slowly. He felt nervous for the first time, sweat forming on his palms.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Then he reached Catherine, and they were just a step away. He knelt down on one knee with a ring in his hand.

In the next moment, a dazzling display lit up the distant sea. Bang! Fireworks bloomed in the sky, followed by drones forming a sentence, reading, [Catherine, marry me!]

Catherine stared in surprise at the spectacular scene, her mind momentarily blank.

Branden knelt before her and stared at her sincerely. "Catherine, will you marry me? I promise I will love you forever."

As Catherine was still processing, Zobber and others began to cheer with excitement. They exclaimed, "Catherine, say yes!"

One of them shouted, "Marry him!"

Another one said, "Catherine, Branden is nice. Just agree."

Catherine's silence made Branden a bit nervous. He realized he might have been too hasty. Considering her young age, it was normal for her not to want the constraints of marriage. He thought he shouldn't have done this.

As Branden was putting away the ring, ready to let Catherine rest, she suddenly looked at him with a serious expression. Branden was captivated and stared at her beautiful eyes.

"Do you really want to marry me?" Her voice was cool and composed as always.

Branden, however, was stunned and instinctively nodded.

Catherine smiled and said, "I'm willing."

Branden was utterly bewildered. He even doubted if he had been too eager, leading to this hallucination. The onlookers couldn't help but laugh at the dumbfounded Branden.

Zobber laughed. "Who would've thought we'd see Mr. Duncan in such a funny scene? Seems like today's trip was worth it. Absolutely, totally worth it."

The laughter brought Branden back to reality from his daze. He didn't care about the mocking. He just stared at Catherine. "Say it again."

Catherine wished to capture this silly moment of his. He seldom behaved like this. She replied, "I said yes. You don't want to?"

Branden became anxious. For the first time, everyone present saw him in such a fluster. He said, "How could I not want to?"

Seeing Catherine's smile, Branden realized he had been played. But he wasn't angry at all, and he smiled warmly." Marry me.'

He slowly took out the ring from the exquisite box and then gently put it on Catherine's ring finger. The diamond wasn't large, but it was exceptionally delicate and cute, exactly to Catherine's liking.

Catherine knew Branden must have put thought into choosing this ring, and it struck a chord in her heart. Branden stood up and stared at Catherine's finger.

Thunderous applause erupted around them, all in celebration of their happiness.

"Kiss!"

'Give her a kiss!"

With the crowd cheering, Branden embraced Catherine's waist and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

As the banquet came to a close, Branden still felt like he was in a dream. The entire time, not only Catherine but also others noticed his grin.

Zobber teased, "Do you think Mr. Duncan will wake up smiling tomorrow?"

Ronin nodded approvingly. "I think he will."

Karl said helplessly, "How did the Duncans end up with such a character?"

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

They never expected that the once-unapproachable Branden would be so excited after his successful proposal. It showed that when one loved the right person, anything was possible.
