CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Marshall came back with Khalid at noon. They didn’t see Katherine or Frances when they walked into the house and asked at the same time, "Where is she?"

Sitting on the couch, Old Mrs. Grant heard them and looked up. "Who are you asking about? Katherine or Frances?"

Marshall and Khalid exchanged glances. Marshall chuckled, while Khalid felt a little embarrassed.

Marshall replied first, "I’m asking about Katherine, but dad isn’t, I assume."

Khalid gave a little cough and answered, "I’m asking about both of them."

Old Mrs.Grant looked back and said, "They’re in their rooms upstairs. They said they were tired, and I told them to get some rest."

Marshall nodded. "Let me go check on her."

Old Mrs. Grant said nothing. Khalid stood for a while, hesitated and went upstairs too.

Katherine and Frances were taking a rest in their respective rooms.

Katherine came into view as soon as Marshall opened the door. Holding the covers, she was sound asleep, just as before. Marshall walked towards her softly and stopped by the bed. She was sleeping on her side and thus her underbelly was exposed. In fact, it didn’t look obvious, but in Marshall’s eyes, it had grown larger. He sat down slowly and reached out to stroke her underbelly, but it stirred Katherine from sleep.

She frowned. "You’re so annoying! Do you have to wake me up once you get back?"

Marshall beamed a smile. "Lunch is ready. Get up and let’s go to the dining room together."

Now Katherine was wide awake. Lying in bed, she stared at the window and said, "Clara invited us to dinner to apologize for what she did before."

Marshall was disgusted to hear the name "Clara". "She doesn’t need to apologize. She just needs to disappear."

Katherine chuckled. "But I’m wondering what she’ll say."
