CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 203

Actually, Katherine rarely saw Marshall to be this casual.

He was always on the go when he was with her.

After entering the living room, Katherine asked while changing her shoes, “You haven’t had lunch, right?”

Marshall turned around, but his face was completely hidden under the reflection of glass lenses.

He nodded in a while.

Katherine then went into the kitchen and started taking out of materials out of the fridge.

The takeaway that Marshall brought home was already gone.

Katherine wondered did Marshall eat it or just toss it.

Katherine then started cooking.

In the meantime, Marshall put down the computer and took off his glasses.

Pinching at his eyebrows, Marshall went to the kitchen.

Marshall just leaned against the kitchen door, “Don’t make mine. I need to go back to the mansion in a minute.”

Katherine didn’t stop her movements and just answered, “Okay, got it.”

Marshall then turned around and put away his items on the sofa.

Katherine heard the sound of Marshall driving away in the middle of cooking.

She cracked a smile and continued.

She just wanted to whip up a meal, so it actually didn’t make much of a difference whether Marshall stayed or not.

After having the lunch, Katherine did the dishes and went back to her bedroom to take a rest.

She scrolled through the phone and was amazed by how quick the gossip on the Internet was updated.

The news about the Grants had somewhat disappeared.

Katherine sniggered and took a long breath.

How great was it to have money? Paying online trolls to sway the public opinion and removing the hashtag from the trending news were no trouble at all.

Katherine then reviewed some of the driving test materials and meant to doze off.

But after she had just closed her eyes, Mrs. Grant called which was definitely an odd thing since she had never called her.

Katherine directly answered the call but didn’t say anything.

Mrs. Grant was also quiet, but Katherine can somewhat hear the sound of a man talking to a woman.

Katherine just snickered and immediately connected the dots.

Judging from the conversation of Clara with Mrs. Henderson before, Clara must be heading to the Grants mansion.

Then Marshall just left for mansion.

Well, it was pretty obvious that they were meeting which she should have figured out much earlier.

Katherine didn’t hang up the phone and just listened to their conversation which was not that audible since Mrs. Grant must be hiding the phone.

From time to time, she could hear Clara’s laughter and Marshall’s brisk voice which suggested that they must be having a merry chat.

Katherine closed her eyes and regarded their voices as lullaby.

Then she just drifted off gradually, so she didn’t know whether Mrs. Grant had said anything on the phone or when did she hang up exactly.

Katherine napped for two hours and when she came around, it was about to rain outside.

Katherine then moved the flower stand and returned to the living room.

The owner of the store just texted her and wondered when can she sign the lease agreement.

Katherine checked the weather outside and replied that she was available at the moment.

The landlord seemed urgent and said that he would drive to the store in a minute and sign the contract with her.

Kathrine then texted back okay and went out to hail a cab with the umbrella.

It did start raining the midway.

The cab stopped in front of the sweets store and the landlord was already waiting.

Katherine then went inside.

The landlord had already prepared the contract which Katherine took a photo and sent it to Peter.

She was really afraid that the landlord would screw her in some terms.

Peter looked it through and replied that there was nothing wrong with the contract now and some of the conditions had been modified.

Katherine then signed the contract rest assured.

Margaret was standing by the counter and remained silent the whole time.

The landlord probably knew why that she hadn’t greeted him since he was fully aware of the fact that he had swindled a lot of money from her before.

The contract was made out in two original copies, one copy to be held by each party after they both had signed the contract with their thumbs.

Then the landlord just left.

It was pouring outside, so Katherine chose to stay in the shop.
