Chapter 479 Boxing Match
Catherine had been lying in bed for a couple of days, and her whole body was in a state of lethargy.
She saw Branden heading toward the door early in the morning, and she knew he was mostly going to exercise.
A glimmer of light flashed through Catherine’s cold eyes, and she instantly rolled up from the bed.
“Wait for me!”
Branden stopped and turned to look at her. “You’re going too?”
Catherine nodded without hesitation, then raised her eyebrows to look at Branden with a meaningful gaze.” Can’t I?”
Branden did not think she could not go, but he just did not expect Catherine to want to exercise with him. After all, she had always been lazy, and she would lie down.
Branden smiled helplessly as he thought of Catherine’s very bored and lazy appearance at home these past few days.
“Do you need to change your clothes?”
Catherine was wearing casual clothes, so she did not need to change.
“Let’s go!”
Catherine followed behind Branden and was pulled out of the door by him.
At first, she thought Branden was just exercising and running in the community every day, but she did not expect the man who pulled her out of the door to take her upstairs.
There were a total of two apartments on the top floor, one of which was the apartment that Triston bought to view the river.
Were they going to Triston’s apartment?
As soon as the elevator door opened, Branden pulled her toward the opposite direction of Triston’s apartment.
He opened the door with his thumbprint.
“Ding-dong!”
The sound of the door being opened sounded, and the door opened after that.
It was an apartment of the same type as the one they lived in, with an oversized area but not decorated like a regular residence.
All the rooms inside had been knocked into one and turned into a fully equipped gym with all kinds of equipment available.
Catherine tilted her head to look at Branden. “You bought this place as a gym?”
Branden did not deny it!
Although this community was not considered a top-tier rich and powerful residence, it was still considered a high -grade community in Casier, where land was precious. And this building was the closest to the river, so the price was even higher.
Branden actually bought an apartment on the top floor to use as a gym.
This man was really extravagant!
The largest apartment in this building was only over 3,000 square feet, which was pitifully small compared to the Duncans’ estate.
To move closer to Catherine, Branden had no choice but to buy the apartment opposite Audrey’s. He had the habit of exercising every day, and even if he were busy, he would still find time to exercise properly.
This apartment was originally a property under Triston’s name, but later, it fell into Branden’s hands, and he had someone directly turn it into a gym.
Although the view from this floor was better than that from downstairs, he knew Catherine’s nature too well.
If he lived on the top floor, Catherine would never bother waiting a few seconds to take the elevator to his apartment.
Branden took a clean towel and hung it around his neck as he stepped onto the treadmill to warm up. Catherine, meanwhile, wandered around the gym alone. After walking around, she finished visiting this place.
In the end, she set her gaze on the nearby boxing ring.
Branden was running on the treadmill, but he kept his eyes on Catherine.
Seeing her lingering in front of the ring, he paused the treadmill and approached slowly toward her.
“Are you interested in it?”
Branden’s noble and magnetic voice came from behind Catherine. Thinking of the scenes of losing to Branden a few years ago, Catherine suddenly became interested.
She turned back to the man with raised eyebrows and provocative eyes. “Let’s have a competition!”
Branden did not speak but took the initiative to take out the protective gear on the side. He put it on Catherine.
Catherine, however, refused him. She just grabbed a pair of boxing gloves, and with one of her hands bracing the edge of the arena, she climbed up into the arena neatly.
“Time is precious. Let’s come straight to it!”
Branden raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his incredibly handsome face. His smile was filled with helplessness.
He had a girl with a super high combat power. What should he do?
Worrying that Catherine would get impatient, he quickly flipped over and climbed onto the arena.
Catherine had been boxing on the black market for several years and was very familiar with the skills and rules of boxing.
After a brief greeting, the two began boxing straight away. Their moves were neat and agile without any hesitation. When Paxton and Triston arrived, Catherine and Branden had been boxing for more than ten minutes. Both of them were sweating all over!
The scene of the experts’ showdown was fascinating, leaving Paxton and Triston, the two bystanders, stunned.
Watching Catherine punch every time, Triston could not help but want to cheer her up. This was much more exciting than watching the world wrestling entertainment.
He looked at Paxton beside him and asked in a low voice, “How long can you box Catherine if it were you in the arena?”
Paxton could not help but roll his eyes at Triston. Did Triston even need to ask that?
Paxton thought he would probably get kicked off by Catherine before he even had a chance to get into the arena.
Who had not heard of the name of the killer “Anon”?
Seeing him like this, Triston patted his shoulder as if to comfort him and said, “Okay, okay. Let’s stop mentioning your sadness. It’s not a shame to fail Catherine!”
“Hmph!” Paxton sneered disdainfully and then said with a respectful expression, “I don’t think it’s a shame. I can freely admit that my strength is not as good as Miss Swann’s!”
Hearing this, Triston could not help but admire Catherine a little more.
He had known Paxton for quite some time. He knew that in all those years, other than Branden, Catherine was the second person Paxton admired.
Unexpectedly, this little girl who looked so delicate and beautiful had such an overwhelming power.
“Paxton, who do you think will win between Mr. Duncan and Catherine?”
Paxton could not answer that question.
If it were someone else in a boxing match with Branden, he would not hesitate to say that Branden would win.
However, in front of a supreme expert like Catherine, Paxton did not dare to jump to conclusions.
Catherine was really powerful!
On the arena, Branden and Catherine’s sparring continued.
Catherine’s eyes became colder and colder as she continued. Branden’s power was much stronger than she expected.
Over the past three years, her power had improved a lot. But Branden did not waste his time in the past three years either and had become more powerful. In peak battles, any slight carelessness could lead one to a disadvantage.
Seeing Branden distracted, Catherine took advantage of the opportunity and forcefully pushed him back with a combination of punches.
Branden took a few steps back.
In the end, Branden lost.
He raised his left arm high and looked at Catherine with a smile in his eyes.
“I lose!”
Catherine stopped. She took off her boxing gloves and threw them aside in a cool manner.
In fact, she should be the one who was supposed to lose!
At the last minute, Branden could have attacked her, but he hesitated. Catherine seized this opportunity to gain an advantage.
Moreover, Branden’s previous injury on Scorpion Island had not yet healed, and his physical strength was not at its peak. They could all be considered the reason for Catherine’s narrow victory.
Catherine sat casually on the floor while Branden squatted down and wiped her flushed cheeks with a clean towel.
The intense exercise made Catherine’s fair-skinned face flush fiercely. Her face looked like a ripe apple now, fragrant and tempting!
When Branden had almost wiped her sweat, Catherine took the opportunity and fell into Branden’s arms lazily.
She said lazily, “I’m tired!”
Branden looked at her with infinite doting in his eyes.
He said in a voice full of tenderness, Okay, I’ll carry you back!” 11
After standing up, he carried Catherine in his arms and walked straight out of the gym.
Triston was standing on the side and ignored. He finally came back to his senses after Branden and Catherine left his sight.
He looked at Paxton with a face full of surprise and asked, “Are these still the two people I know?” They were so intimate that they were completely different from the cold and indifferent two before.
“Haha…” Paxton sneered and gave Triston a look of contempt.
