CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

When the veggies were all rinsed out, the two guys exited the kitchen, leaving Katherine inside cooking by herself.

Seeing Hector standing in the living room, Kyle asked him to sit down, as if he owned the place. Without a trace of guest manners, Kyle even had the gall to ask Hector what kind of tea he wanted. “I spotted some scented tea in the kitchen. Do you want some? I’ll make two cups.”

“Sure,” answered Hector comfortably.

Kyle went to the kitchen gleefully.

Sitting down opposite Hector, Marshall gave him a quick once-over and said, “I heard that you helped pay for Kathy’s ring. How much was it? I’ll wire you the amount right now.”

Hector had expected it from Marshall. Smiling slightly, he replied ambivalently, “There must be a misunderstanding here, Mr. Grant. I gave her the ring as a gift. Did she not tell you why I gifted her that ring?”

“What are you trying to imply?” said Marshall coldly.

Hector checked out the kitchen, where Kyle was happily buzzing around Katherine for some reason and wouldn’t come back for a while. Thus, Hector spoke.

“I know your divorce has been finalized and I know that you’re only staying together to quell the possible gossips around your marriage. Kathy has told me all about it.”

Marshall’s face darkened completely. “She really told you everything, huh?”

Hector smiled lovingly. “Kathy has never looked down on me because of my status. That’s enough to tell me that she’s not the same kind of person as yourself, Mr. Grant.”

Marshall knew what he meant. If Katherine were to talk to Hector about everything, naturally she would have told him how she was willfully disregarded in the Grant household because of her own status. The Grants despised her for her low upbringing, but she never cared about anyone else being born into a low or high social class. Judging from this aspect, she and Marshall had very different values indeed.

Marshall smiled briefly. “You seem to be very confident in

suddenly turned Katherine around with a bit of force, and before she could figure out what was going on, he leaned over and kissed her. His actions were kind of rough and his kisses kind of hard, while he grabbed Katherine’s arms, holding her in place.

goggling her eyes out, Katherine made a noise, while Kyle started howling in the living room. Covering his own eyes with one hand, he proceeded to cover Hector’s with the other. “Don’t stare. That’s some
