CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Marshall went back to the hotel with Khalid. Before getting back to his room, Khalid turn over and asked, "Did you make the phone call?"

Marshall paused and stopped opening the door. "No."

Khalid seemed to have realized something. He said, "You'll have to make the call anyway. Sometimes it would be better if you have it handled sooner. People may forget about this if you quit, but if you stick to it you may succeed."

Marshall looked at Khalid in surprise. He thought Khalid was talking about the old house.

It seemed that he wasn't.

Marshall put his room card down and walked over to Khalid. "Let's get to talk."

Khalid smiled and opened the door of his room.

Their rooms were next to each other and had the same layout. There was a sofa in the living room.

Marshall sat down and said, "I thought you didn't like Katherine."

Khalid said as he took off his coat, "I didn't like her because she was too prim and proper, but she really impressed me on your uncle's birthday. Maybe your mother has restrained her too much. Now that she and you have been divorced, she doesn't have that much to care about, thus she could be who really is."

Khalid came over and sat opposite Marshall. "Just between you and me... I like Katherine more than Clara. I'm not saying that Clara isn't good enough. It's just... maybe she's just too perfect, and there's always something missing."

He sighed, "Clara's got a big family and their relationship is entwined. They've taken advantage of your divorce last time. I looked down upon them. It's fine by me if they play tricks in business, but not in their opponent's life."

Marshall nodded slowly. "That's right, but I thought you used to think little of Katherine because she was born in a humble family, just like Mom."

"Her family..." Khalid thought and continued, "I've thought about it when your mom and I got divorced. There's no established definition for 'rich', but obviously, our family has got enough money. We wanted you to find a rich girl, but it was not because we wanted to benefit from the marriage."

Khalid seemed to have lots of emotions. He continued, "Marriage is a lifelong test. We should care about more than her family background, especially when we're rich and capable enough by ourselves. When our life is hardly possible to be shaken by external factors, inner feelings may become our only measurement of love."

Marshall looked at Khalid. He had changed a lot, because that wasn't something he would say before.

That might be his insights after the end of his last marriage.

Marshall replied as he nodded slowly, "I think Grandma likes her, too."
