CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Marshall reached out his hand to stroke her hair with a smile, “Just hold on. I don’t know how he feels either.”

Katherine pouted, “Unpredictable.”

Marshall looked around, “Alright, just leave them here. Let’s go for somewhere else for lunch.”

Then both of them left, while Khalid was still sitting there alone, waiting for the dishes.

Marshall didn’t order much as he had noticed himself beforehand that he might need to leave soon.

Khalid didn’t feel much appetite while staring at the dishes.

He picked up the tableware, fiddle with the food and then put it down.

He sat still with his back leaning on the chair, emotionless.

Frances also found herself that her appetite had fled away, feeling uneasy though she failed to tell the reason.

Nicolas also noticed that. He smiled, “What’s the matter? Are you feeling unwell?”

Frances breathed out, “No.”

After some consideration, she raised up her head to look at him to confess, “I saw my ex-husband here.”

Nicolas paused, “You mean here?”

Frances nodded, “Just a few steps away.”

Nicolas smiled, “No wonder Miss Jordan walked away.”

Frances had no idea how to continue.

Actually, the situation wasn’t an embarrassing one. She could deal with it by simply walking to his front, greeting and smiling.

However, she found herself uneasy out of no reason.

Nicolas also looked around and soon noticed Khalid.

Actually, they didn’t know each other. Though Khalid had kept himself a low profile, some news about him was covered for a few times on the financial section.
