CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 173

Since it was getting late, Peter had some food and left.

Nobody would send him home, so Katherine told him as he got up, "Be careful on your way home."

Peter replied yes before he said goodbye to Marshall politely and left.

Marshall took a few more bites and stopped eating, staring at Katherine.

Cross-legged, Katherine sat on the chair, her sleeves up to her elbows.

She was having seafood with her bare hands, her mouth covered with oil and grease.

Obsessive about cleanliness, Marshall couldn’t stand watching her anymore.

Couldn’t she eat elegantly and neatly?

Katherine didn’t take notice of Marshall’s gaze, stuffing herself.

She asked, "By the way, what were you talking about with Miss Henderson?"

Marshall paused, aware that Katherine was referring to the period when he had left her alone.

He replied, "Basically, we were talking about the cooperation. Some of the details in the contract she brought over today needed adjusting, so I talked to her about it."

It turned out that they were simply talking about business, so Katherine nodded and said no more.

Marshall couldn’t bear watching Katherine eating anymore and rose to his feet. "You go on without me. I’m going upstairs."

Katherine grunted, "OK."

Marshall walked slowly towards the stairs and threw a glance at the dining room after mounting a few steps.

Katherine’s phone was ringing.

She wiped her hands with the napkin in a tearing hurry and answered the phone.

Probably she wanted to go on eating, Katherine turned on the speaker and put the phone on the table.

A male voice came from the other end of the line, calling, "Katherine."

Katherine chuckled. "Well, why are you calling me?"

Marshall stopped, staring at her for a short while before he looked back and took his time walking upstairs with his hands in the pockets.

When he reached the second floor, he heard Katherine’s laughter.

She was telling the man on the other end, "Tomorrow? Yes, I’m free. I have nothing else but time. Of course, see you tomorrow."
