CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

While it was true that the paparazzi had been able to get photos of Marshall and Clara several times, there wasn’t actually anything seedy going on. Their get-togethers had been strictly work-related, and they had been flanked by their assistants all those times.

Marshall raised his eyebrows. “I’d hate to worry you with my news, you know.”

Katherine kept her gaze squarely on the road ahead. “Not worried. You are simply an inescapable figure in the gossip section of any news site.”

Marshall made a clear sneering sound.

After that, Katherine got quiet. She didn’t want to talk because they could never actually peacefully talk now. Marshall always sounded mean-spirited when he talked to her, and even Katherine herself couldn’t help her insinuating tendencies when speaking to him.

The rest of the car ride was spent in silence. As they approached Katherine’s place, Marshall stopped the car and grabbed tightly on the steering wheel. Keeping his eyes away from Katherine, Marshall stared intently at the empty space before him.

As Katherine opened the door, she decided to say her thank-you to Marshall before she exited the car and walked towards the front gate.

Marshall rolled down the window. “Katherine.”

Katherine stopped and turned around. “What else do you want?”

Marshall turned his gaze slowly towards her. “I’ve been trying to comprehend it for the past few days but I haven’t been able to figure it out. What’s so good about Hector?”

Katherine frowned. Why did they have to talk about Hector, again?

Marshall looked genuinely curious. “What do you like about him? Is it his good looks? Or it is because you like to hear him sing?”

Because these superficial features wouldn’t really be able to capture a woman’s heart, would they? And Katherine didn’t seem like the kind of shallow women to him.

Katherine stood right in front of Marshall as she watched him closely. She decided she would take the question as a representation of his genuine confusion.

Katherine looked dead serious. “Hector may not be perfect, but he treats me so much better than you do, Marshall.”

As she recalled her old life, she couldn’t help but smile bitterly. “I don’t have to tell you how miserable I was when I lived with your family since you know all about it. After the divorce, I actually tried very hard to work on our relationship, and because nobody knew about the divorce yet, I thought that if you wanted to give us a chance, I’d be all for it, too. But you never tried to truly understand me. You never seemed to realize that my patience and my affection could one day wear thin. I won’t wait around for you forever. I can get tired. Hector treats me very well – especially when compared to you. It was only after I met him when I realized that I deserved to be cared for and treated nicely too.”
