CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Katherine couldn’t sleep. After tossing and turning in her room forever, she decided to go down, only to stop in her tracks when she reached the staircase.

Downstairs, Marshall was sitting on the sofa, across from whom sat Kyle.

Kyle was still in his “combat outfit” at the Bennett household, the gold chain on his neck still tasteless and tacky.

“Hey,” said Katherine, “what are you doing here? Are you here for me? Let’s see the gifts you brought over, shall we?”

Turning around, Kyle grinned at Katherine. “Gifts? But I didn’t get you one. I thought we could do without the formalities since we’re so tight.”

Katherine made a face immediately. “You don’t ever get a gift for the patient?”

“Well, I was too worried about your safety to be thorough,” laughed Kyle, “how about this, I’ll make it up to you the next time I come over.”

Marshall sat at the side with his legs crossed, watching the familiar banter between them, the corners of his mouth slowly curving into a smile.

So that was Kyle’s type. People had tried to work on Kyle when they wanted to curry favor with the Haverfords, but the guy was so erratic that it was impossible for them to figure out what he actually liked.

Katherine jumped down the stairs to sit next to Marshall. “Where were you guys talking about?”

Kyle got a lot more serious at that. “What do you think? Those Bennetts assholes, of course. They really got me livid today.”

Katherine perked up. “Yeah, I never got the chance to ask, but what exactly was with the Bennetts, and what did they bully Hector for?”

At the mention of Hector, Marshall couldn’t help but glanced down at Katherine’s finger.
