CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

After another game, Katherine couldn’t put up with Marshall’s behavior anymore. She put the last card down. "I’m tired. I quit."

Frances, Katherine’s teammate, couldn’t stand Marshall either, grumbling, "Finally! I feel bad for his teammate."

Hector got up, went to the window and opened it, taking a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket.

Seeing that, Marshall grabbed Katherine’s hand and said, "Come on. Let’s take a walk outside."

Katherine was aware of Marshall’s intent. This time, he didn’t mean to embarrass Hector, but to protect her from the smoke.

Katherine didn’t really care about the smoke, but she still got up for the baby in her womb. "OK."

Frances left with them, and only Hector was left in the room standing by the window. He didn’t look back, as if they hadn’t left at all.

Marshall and Katherine walked along the street not far away from Kyle’s club. It was quite lively down the street at this time of the day. Meanwhile, Frances stayed in the lobby, texting with someone.

Marshall took Katherine’s hand. "When did Hector come back?"

Katherine got a little nervous. "He came back this afternoon."

Now Marshall got relieved because she hadn’t been with Hector for so long.

Frances was actually texting with Nicolas, who asked her if she had time to have dinner with him. Before Frances hit the "send" button, Nicolas sent another message to her, explaining that he wanted to eat with someone so that it wouldn’t be too boring. Frances originally intended to refuse him, but she hesitated at the sight of his message.

Since Frances didn’t answer him, Nicolas called and asked her what she was doing right now, or if she could go to have dinner with him. After all, it would be dinner time soon. Frances hemmed and hawed before replying, "I’m hanging out with my friends now."
