CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

It took the men some time to finish the meal.

Finally, Katherine couldn’t wait any longer and went back to Kyle’s recreation club with Frances and Margaret.

In fact, Frances was a little worried about Khalid and Nicolas. Before she left, she went over to Khalid and whispered something into his ear. Hearing her, Khalid laughed and told her to rest assured. Probably she didn’t want Nicolas to feel left out, and she told him to have fun and enjoy the meal. After that, she left the private room with Katherine.

Katherine heaved a sigh and laughed as the door was closed. She sighed, "What an awkward dinner! I felt I was stifling in that room."

For several times, the embarrassing pause occurred during the meal. Sometimes, Khalid chimed in and happened to interrupt Nicolas. Sometimes, Marshall said something and interrupted Hector coincidentally. These two pairs of rivals in love kept competing with each other secretly.

Katherine said she regretted having invited Marshall to dinner. Frances heard that and chimed in, "In fact, I also regret having invited Nicolas here." If she had refused him at the beginning, the dinner wouldn’t have been so awkward. However, Katherine was a little relived to hear Frances say so. Apparently, the relationship between Khalid and Nicolas was much tenser, and that surprised Katherine. She didn’t expect the middle-aged men to be so childish.

The women went to the private room in Kyle’s recreation club. Katherine was a little tired, so she lolled back in the armchair, while Frances looked very carefully at Margaret’s wedding invitation. Finally, her gaze fell upon the wedding photo and she sighed, "You two actually look like a couple, and you look so happy in the photo."

Margaret smiled and replied, "Yeah, a lot of people say that."

Frances looked up and stared at Margaret for a while. "I knew you were a good girl."

Somehow, Margaret found the look in Frances’ eyes hard to read, but her heart missed a beat.

Lounging in the armchair, Katherine was talking about the details of Margaret’s wedding, but she gradually fell asleep. When she woke up again, she felt that someone was kissing her, the alcohol on his breath making her sick. She pushed him away subconsciously and yelled, "Get away!"

Then she heard Marshall chuckling. "You didn’t know it was me? Now I know you weren’t pretending it."

Katherine opened her eyes. Now only she and Marshall were left in this room, and she had no idea when the others had left. She sat up slowly. "All I could feel was someone breathing alcohol fumes all over me, and how would I know it was you?"

Marshall sat down next to her and let out a sigh, saying, "It was such an exhausting and upsetting dinner."
