CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Marshall didn't wake up until the evening. He got refreshed, and when he went upstairs, Katherine and Frances were nowhere to be found.

Even Darcie was gone, too.

Marshall looked around on the first floor, and then he checked the yard, but he still didn't find them.

He stood in the living room and yelled. The space was so empty now that he felt he had heard an echo.

He called Katherine, but she didn't answer. He called Frances, and she didn't either.

He put down his phone and was sure that the three people must have decided together to do this.

Marshall went to the kitchen and took a look. There was no sign of cooking in there. Nobody was making dinner.

Marshall laughed and remembered Katherine's attitude towards him. The three women were on the same side now.

He turned around and went to the living room. There he sat on the sofa and turned on the TV. Then he watched it leisurely.

Katherine, Frances, and Darcie came back very late. They laughed and came back with many shopping bags, big ones and small ones.

Frances came in and took a look at Marshall. Then she said, "Ah! You're awake! You were sleeping too soundly just now, so we didn't wake you up. We've already had dinner yet. You may need to get some by yourself now."

Frances had changed her clothes. She was in a long dress with polka dots. She looked younger in it.

She hadn't tied up her hair. Instead, she made a ponytail.

Now she seemed to be much more vigorous and healthier than before. She was like a completely different person, quite a few years younger.

She ignored Marshall's reaction and put the shopping bags on the table.

They had gone to the grocery store and bought a lot of snacks.

Frances picked two of them and handed them to Katherine and Darcie. "Try this. I think it's good."

Marshall smiled and asked, "Why didn't you answer my calls."

Frances hummed and said, "We didn't hear it."

Marshall thought nothing of it. He continued to ask, "You've had dinner? What did you eat?"

Darcie answered, "We had a barbecue. It's delicious."

Marshall looked at them and nodded. "OK. I'm gonna order in."

He took out his phone and said to Frances, "I think you look much better today."

Frances was taken back and was about to smile, but she kept a straight face and said with a stern tone, "I am as beautiful as always."

Marshall stared at Frances and Katherine, and then he looked at Darcie.
