CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Marshall’s arms around Katherine froze for a quick second.

Katherine wasn’t expecting Marshall to hold her, and Marshall wasn’t expecting her to kiss him. Again, they got even this time.

But Kyle began freaking out like an agitated monkey. “You can’t do this do me. You simply can’t. I mean, everyone already knows that you’re in love, you don’t have to flaunt it around like that. Break apart right now – this is an order!”

“Never,” smirked Katherine, cuddling deeper into Marshall’s embrace.

Holding her, Marshall heaved a silent sigh after a while. Why was it that it didn’t feel right no matter what he did in front of Katherine?

Angered, Kyle was sitting on the sofa with his back turned against them.

Katherine turned to smilingly look at Marshall, just as Marshall looked down and caught her gaze. Staring into each other’s eyes, they began having that weird feeling again.

Kyle stayed with them right into the night and refused to leave at dinner time. Sprawling out on the sofa, he said, “I want to taste the food you make, Kathy. You look like the kind of woman that’s insanely good at cooking, and I’d die for the opportunity – the honor, if you will – of getting a bite of your dishes…”

He’d made the same request a couple of times.

Defeated, Katherine motioned him to stop. “Stop yelling. And yes, I will cook, but mostly because the hubby and I do need to have dinner. You’re simply a free rider.”

Sitting up from the sofa, Kyle was instantly happy. “That’s fine. I just wanted a taste of your cuisines. What are you making? Shall I invite Hector over, too? He’s all by himself at the Bennett house; I wonder if he’s getting food at all tonight.”

Sitting at Kyle’s side with a PC on his laps, Marshall stared at the data on the computer screen for a good while before he resumed tapping on the keyboard.

Getting off the sofa carefully, Katherine didn’t take Kyle seriously. “You might as well ask him to come since you’re already here. But let me be clear, you are not playing poker in my house.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t,” replied Kyle, chortling, “I just happen to be off my game tonight. I’ll beat all three of you when I’m all prepped up.”
