CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 227

For a long time, Marshall peered at the Message. He knew Katherine well. If she had been with Hector, she would refuse decisively to have sex with me. Namely, Hector and Katherine had no other relationship, except for being friends. Katherine was not aware that Hector had crush on her at least.

Marshall snorted, then deleted the messages. After a while, there was no new messages. He put the phone back on the tea table. And the phone never vibrated again.

Marshall’s lips curled, curious of what Hector might be thinking at the other end.

Then he heard Katherine’s voice, “The food is ready.”

He stepped forward casually, and sat down, “Where did you go this afternoon?”

Katherine paused, “I went to the store. Margaret said we can set off decorating thing in advance. She has closed the store today, so I went to hang around.”

So she was not with Hector.

Then why did Hector suddenly send her a message like that?

Katherine got Marshall soup, “Take more soup, it’s good to your stomach.”

Marshall nodded, “It tastes good.”

Katherine licked her lips, then said, “I think, in the following days, you’d better sleep in your own room. After all, we have had a divorce…”

“We had sex last night. I think it’s ordinary for us to sleep in one room.” His words shut Katherine down.

With chopsticks in hand, Katherine felt like asking why he can have sex with her while he didn’t love her. Otherwise, they will be in a most peculiar relationship.

She recalled Peter’s words. She kind of expected that Marshall would fall in love with her after a happy life with her. After all, they can meet each other every day and have sex sometimes. Everything was better to her than Clara.

So the question was swallowed up.

In silence, they finished the meal. As usual, Marshall put the dishes into the dish washer.

Katherine checked her phone, and there was no new message.

Then she went to the yard, watering the flowers. When she returned to the room, Marshall had gone upstairs.

She laid on the yoga mat, meditating. Her life was in a mess, which was far away from her plan.

In the study room, Marshall continued to read the documents. In a while, his phone vibrated. It’s a New Friend request from Clara.

The two Groups had signed a cooperation contract, so it’s normal for Clara to add his .

Marshall added. And there was an immediate message from her. It’s a lovely emoji.

Marshall was not a text man, so he put down the phone.

After a few seconds, he picked up the phone. After all, it’s impolite not to reply a greeting message.

So he replied Clara with a “hi”. Then there was no new message.

Marshall put down the phone again, continuing his work.

He had met her twice after the engagement. And every meeting only lasted about several minutes.

Besides, he was occupied by the business and the things of the family when Old Mr. Grant was not well.

His clear impression to Clara was that she ran after him after he broke off the engagement in her house. She, with red eyes, asked him why. Did he hate her?

He didn’t hate her, otherwise, he wouldn’t have agreed to get engaged to her.

However, he was too awkward to tell her the private thing about his family, so he said, “I just think I am your wrong man.”

Clara took him on his arm, asking, “Why can’t you be firmer?”

Her question revealed that she knew about his family and the reason why he had to break off the engagement, and who he was going to marry.

Marshall didn’t give any reply, just waiting for her family taking her back.

Marshall closed eyes. In fact, he had no perfect plan about his future, because his future was planned by his family.

He would marry a virtuous lady, just like Clara, and lead a life with little changes.

However, beyond expectation, he married Katherine, such a girl, totally different from that in his imagination.

Thinking here, he recalled that Lucas today reminded him that younger Mr. Grant’s birthday was around the corner. Besides, he was required to attend the birthday party with Katherine.

Lucas mentioned Katherine deliberately. What did he mean? Reminding or taunting?
