CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 21

Silence hung heavily in the ward for a long time since Peter left.

Katherine didn’t feel like talking, while Marshall is always a man of few words.

Katherine took her phone out and scrolled over some entertainment news. In the end, she found it hard to continue on reading. If he hadn’t come, she would not be fidgeting. But now that he did, she got even more anxious.

She had mixed feelings. This situation really upset her and made her recall the days before she got divorced that she always longed for his return every day. But when he came back, Katherine acted as if she couldn’t care less.

In fact, this was a horrible feeling.

After turning things over in her mind, she put her phone down. "Thank you for saving me last night."

Marshall glanced at Katherine. “It doesn’t matter who it was, I would have done the same.”

Katherine nodded. "Even so, I still want to thank you. I…"

Before Katherine could finish her word, Marshall’s phone rang.

Marshall took out his phone, looked at the screen and stoop up. “You’d better have a good rest. I gotta take this."

Katherine grunted and looked outside. The moment Marshall walked out of the ward, Katherine looked back.

She thought for a moment, got out of the bed and walked up to the doorstep.

The door was ajar, and Marshall was answering the phone next door.

Katherine couldn’t hear anything from the other end of the line but Marshall’s clear voice.

Marshall said, "Yeah, I have to spend another few days here. Something happened out of the blue."

Katherine didn’t know what the caller said, but Marshall sounded curious, "Clara? Let’s talk about it when I get back."

Katherine froze. Although she hadn’t met Clara before, she had heard the name "Clara" frequently.
