CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Mrs. Grant sighed. “Maybe I’ve been talking too much and got you annoyed. I’ll stop talking about it with you in the future then.”

Marshall frowned, and didn’t say anything. Mrs. Grant hung up after saying good night.

Marshall put down the phone slowly, his mind at work.

Had he been protecting Katherine lately? Not that he himself knew of. It was just that sometimes when Mrs. Grant’s rambling got on his nerves, he would say something in Katherine’s defense. But surely that wouldn’t count as protecting.

Marshall stayed where he was for a while before he slowly turned around and headed upstairs.

Katherine wasn’t in her bedroom. She was in the study, reading what looked like a guidebook on driving tests from her computer.

Marshall walked up to the study and peeked inside. Katherine was genuinely having a hard time grasping those ideas and she looked flustered and baffled. In all seriousness, she would fit well with Kyle Haverford. Recently Katherine hadn’t been the most logical person in the world, and Kyle was even less reliable. Put those two together, and they would enjoy each other’s company.

Just like that, Marshall was reminded of what Kyle said in the bathroom – that if Katherine married a Bennett, she would tame even the biggest shrew of the Bennett household.

That wasn’t an exaggeration, since Katherine could even tame Mrs. Grant at times. However, the thing was that Mrs. Grant, though occasionally unreasonable, wasn’t an inherently calculating person. But he didn’t know if the same was true for the Bennetts. After all, Ms. Ariel Kingsey had done some pretty careful scheming in order to marry Kevin Bennett. Were Katherine really to marry into the family, there was no way she could win the game of manipulation.

Blinking a few times, Marshall walked into his own room. Why should he be thinking about this? Katherine, just like him, needed to be responsible for her own actions.

Marshall got into bed after a quick shower. The alcohol was working, and he fell asleep pretty fast. But he kept dreaming about Katherine – presumably because he had been thinking about her before bed.

He dreamed about a lot of guys standing next to Katherine, and he was judging them one by one.

The flirty guy on the plane was there. He wouldn’t do. He was a frivolous-looking guy, a cheater potentially. There was also the guy who hit on Katherine in Asela. He was a no, too, as Katherine was far too beautiful and way out of his league.

There was also Hector.
