CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

The rest of the people present were all astonished to hear what Old Mrs. Grant said.

Cora turned pale instantly. If a woman at her age didn’t understand the true meaning of Old Mrs. Grant’s words, she had lived in vain.

Frances was amazed that Old Mrs. Grant should discourage Cora. She had always believed that Old Mrs. Grant preferred women of Cora’s kind. Truly, she was divorced, but if Khalid, a middle-aged man, married a young girl, the Grant family would become the laughingstock of the whole city. Besides, Khalid was never the type of man who would marry a woman of his daughter’s age.

Katherine recovered herself and smiled, "You’re so right, grandma. If one has a sense of propriety, they should keep an appropriate distance from people they know."

Old Mrs. Grant grinned, just because Katherine called her "grandma".

Cora’s lips compressed into a thin line, and she agreed with Katherine after a long pause.

Katherine could tell Cora was embarrassed, feeling a little sympathetic to her at the same time. After all, she did nothing wrong but loved a man, and shouldn’t have been put on the spot. The problem was she overdid it. If no one discouraged her, she might go even further. It was quite possible that Khalid, who always played a passive role in a relationship, would fall for a woman who was so proactive. And probably, Old Mrs. Grant had been aware of it too.

Old Mrs. Grant was already tired after getting back from the garden, and now she felt exhausted after chatting with Cora.

Katherine rose to her feet. "Let me help you into your room, grandma."

Old Mrs. Grant nodded. "Alright. You guys may not believe it, but I’m exhausted. I’d better go."

Katherine cast a look at Frances as she helped Old Mrs. Grant up to her room, while Frances happened to glance at her. The moment their gaze met, they looked away, and Katherine was immediately aware that Frances already knew what to do.

Since Old Mrs. Grant walked slowly, Katherine slowed down as well. As the two of them made for Old Mrs. Grant’s room, Katherine sighed, "Seems that Ms. Willis really loves Mr. Grant."

Old Mrs. Grant said, "Yeah, you also realized that."
