CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

No one was in the mood any longer.

Marshall asked the villagers to go back home first, and those who were about to leave with him to brief their families.

It was when the people in the courtyard left that Katherine eased off. She let out a sigh of relief and felt a dull pain in her womb. The baby must be affected by her mood, so she took a seat immediately.

Marshall walked up to Katherine and took her in his arms, whispering, "Don’t worry. I’m here. You’ll be alright."

Katherine didn’t push Marshall away but grabbed his clothes and said through clenched teeth, "How did he get to be such a man?"

Katherine was disappointed that such a man should be her father. Her grandfather had used to be a soldier. He was a man of integrity and honor, even when life was difficult. Besides, she had never hurt anyone and always been kind to others, but why would her grandfather have such a son and she such a father?

Marshall didn’t know how to comfort Katherine, but held her in his arms. After a while, he carried her into the room.

Katherine curled up in bed, being a pitiful sight, while Marshall sat by her side for a while. He didn’t left the room until she seemed to be asleep. Then he thought for a while in the courtyard before walking outside.

There were only dozens of households in the village, and one could easily see the end of the village when he looked straight.

Since Marshall just snapped his finger, Reuben must have gone out of the village to see a doctor, or to somebody in the village for help. Marshall had no idea whether there was a clinic in the village, so he went to the end of the village first to check the road leading to the outside world. It was a straight road, and Reuben was nowhere to be seen, so Marshall turned around and passed from house to house. Finally, he saw Reuben outside a house at the south of the village.

It turned out that all of the villagers who had been at Katherine’s were here, as if they had expected that Reuben would come. They were shouting and yelling, saying that
