Actually, Katherine rarely saw Marshall to be this casual.

He was always on the go when he was with her.

After entering the living room, Katherine asked while changing her shoes, “You haven’t had lunch, right?”

Marshall turned around, but his face was completely hidden under the reflection of glass lenses.

He nodded in a while.

Katherine then went into the kitchen and started taking out of materials out of the fridge.

The takeaway that Marshall brought home was already gone.

Katherine wondered did Marshall eat it or just toss it.

Katherine then started cooking.

In the meantime, Marshall put down the computer and took off his glasses.

Pinching at his eyebrows, Marshall went to the kitchen.

Marshall just leaned against the kitchen door, “Don’t make mine. I need to go back to the mansion in a minute.”

Katherine didn’t stop her movements and just answered, “Okay, got it.”

Marshall then turned around and put away his items on the sofa.

Katherine heard the sound of Marshall driving away in the middle of cooking.

She cracked a smile and continued.

She just wanted to whip up a meal, so it actually didn’t make much of a difference whether Marshall stayed or not.

After having the lunch, Katherine did the dishes and went back to her bedroom to take a rest.

She scrolled through the phone and was amazed by how quick the gossip on the Internet was updated.

The news about the Grants had somewhat disappeared.

Katherine sniggered and took a long breath.

How great was it to have money? Paying online trolls to sway the public opinion and removing the hashtag from the trending news were no trouble at all.

Katherine then reviewed some of the driving test materials and meant to doze off.

But after she had just closed her eyes, Mrs. Grant called which was definitely an odd thing since she had never called her.

Katherine directly answered the call but didn’t say anything.

Mrs. Grant was also quiet, but Katherine can somewhat hear the sound of a man talking to a woman.

Katherine just snickered and immediately connected the dots.
