Katherine picked up on that, and she hurriedly stood up, “You are about to leave? I’ll see you out.”
Marshall didn’t move, sitting there, while Katherine saw them off at the gate.
Looking over at the man in the room, Kyle turned down the corners of his mouth, “Katherine, your husband has been so clingy? In his eyes, you are the only woman in this world.”
Katherine thought that Kyle was talking about the thing in the kitchen, and she got so embarrassed. Especially with Hector here, he knew that she had divorced from Marshall. But they still kissed in the kitchen, which was not proper.
Katherine tucked her hair on the ear, and tried to be not so awkward, “You can regard him to be sick. Please don’t mind and I also doubt what’s wrong with him?”
Katherine didn’t know, but Hector did. He stepped to Katherine closely, and began another topic, “I am sorry that you got hurt today. Promise me. Keep away from any danger.”
Katherine didn’t read his overtones and thought that he felt guilty of her wound. She nodded, “OK, but in fact, I did shelter myself behind.”
Hearing this, Kyle’s eyes darted guiltily. At that time, he really had no idea that Katherine was at his six, otherwise, he would never dodge.
Hector nodded, then raised chin to look at the sky, “Well, we have to go. You go back now, and remember to lock your door at night.”
Katherine replied, “Well, I see.”
Hector read her look and helplessly found that she didn’t get him.
After a small talk, Hector left with Kyle.
Katherine returned to the living room, while Marshall was not there. The lap top was turned off, and it seemed that he had gone upstairs.
She stood beside the sofa. After taking a deep breath, she turned on the television. There was nothing interesting. She turned on the television just because it’s so quiet in the room.
After changing several channels at random, she saw Marshall coming down there. However, he directly went to the liquor cabinet, without greeting Katherine.
She knew that there were some bottles of wines, but she didn’t like the wine. So she averted eyes back to the TV after a glance at Marshall.
Marshall went to the kitchen and took two glasses. He came forward and got Katherine a glass of wine.
Katherine shook hand, “No, thanks. I don’t like it.”
Marshall smiled, but still got her a glass. He put the glass of wine on the table, then got himself one.
He didn’t leave, on the contrary, he sat down close to Katherine.
Katherine glanced at Marshall, then sat straight there, with her gaze on the TV. However, she got nothing about the TV content.
Marshall sipped the wine slowly until the bottom was up. He put down the glass, then took Katherine’s hand, which made Katherine jump. She turned to look at Marshall, who was lowering eyes and rolling the ring on her finger.
Unaccountably, Katherine recalled the thing in the kitchen today. She doubted that something was wrong with Marshall. He had been an internal guy. It’s peculiar that he kissed her with others around.
Flushed, Katherine coughed, “You, you just took one glass of wine. You don’t tell me that you are drunk now.”
“I am not drunk.” Marshall chuckled, “One glass is just a piece of cake to me.”
Katherine took a deep breath, saying nothing.
Marshall played with her fingers for a while, then he asked, “Do you like Hector?”
