CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 507 Distraught Hours

While Khalid was still working in the office, Grandma Grant made him a call to ask why he hadn’t returned home.

Khalid replied with deep voice, “I got a lot of work to do. So I need to work overtime tonight.”

Grandma Grant sighed, “Alright, I am left at home alone again. Both Marshall and Kathy don’t intend to return. And nor do you. I don’t even have someone to talk to during dinner.”

Khalid smiled awkwardly, “But we seldom talk during dinner, right?”

Grandma Grant replied, “That was what happened in the old days. Now it’s different.”

Khalid was about to continue. But he held it back.

Different? So what was the difference exactly?

Grandma Grant then grumbled for a while, telling him to take care and remember to have dinner on time.

Khalid nodded. But he looked a bit distracted when staring at the take-out food that had got cold.

After hanging up the phone, he leaned on the chair and gave out a long sigh.

The food had been delivered to his desk hours ago. But he felt no appetite to take it.

After a while, he took out his phone again and started to randomly look it through.

Then he noticed what Marshall posted on the social media.

It was pretty rare to see him post something. So Khalid carefully focused on it.

It was a post with a picture, in which there shown that they were having dinner together.

Katherine and Frances sat next to each other while chatting with happy smile.

Khalid suddenly recalled the man he saw at noon.

His name…should be Nicolas, he supposed.

But his name was too mediocre to be impressive. And so was his look.

Khalid fixed his eyes on the picture again and again, feeling less motivated to work on those files.
