CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 240

Katherine tidied the living room and went back to her room upstairs.

When she got changed, she called Peter.

Peter was supervising the renovation work in her store today, and she hadn’t asked him about it yet.

Since Peter wasn’t asleep yet, he answered the phone at once.

Katherine asked him how the renovation was going.

Peter replied, "They just tore down everything in the store today, and some construction materials were moved in. They should start up for real tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

In fact, Katherine wasn’t worried about these at all. "Thank you. You’ve been doing the job for me today."

Peter smiled. "You’re being so courteous to me, and that sends shivers down my spine. What happened? Something doesn’t feel right."

Katherine put on her pajamas. "Nothing’s wrong. Everything’s fine. I just got home and I’m a little tired."

Peter didn’t get into the bottom and asked after some consideration, "How are you and your ex-husband going?"

How were they going? Not well!

Katherine paused and said, "Just so so."

Peter let out a sigh. "Don’t worry. There won’t be any necessary meeting with the Henderson family during this time anyway. Now that the contract is signed, the next one we have to deal with is the material supplier, and your ex-husband doesn’t need to handle this personally, so he doesn’t have to meet Clara that much."

Katherine didn’t want to care about these right now.

She went into the bathroom. "Alright, talk to you later. I was hanging out today and I’m exhausted. I’ll go to sleep after washing up."

Peter said OK and asked Katherine whether she would go to the store tomorrow noon.

Katherine thought a while and replied, "I will. I’ll call Margaret and we’ll go together to see if anything needs to be improved. She has done this before, so she must be more experienced."

Peter agreed and the two hung up.

Katherine washed up and went to bed.

As a tiny girl, she was indeed worn out because she had spent almost the whole day hanging out.

It took much energy to hang out.

Katherine fell asleep shortly after she lay down, but woke up at midnight since she was thirsty.

The dinner she had was quite salty.

She fumbled around on the nightstand for a long while before realizing that there was no water there at all.

But she didn’t really want to get out of bed and go downstairs at midnight.

Narrowing her eyes, Katherine walked out of her room and saw the light from the staircase.

So the light in the living room downstairs was on.

Katherine remembered clearly that she had turned off the light before she had come up.

Cool as a cucumber, she went over and leaned over the handrail, only to see Marshall sitting on the sofa.

On the tea table in front of the sofa stood a red wine bottle and an empty wine glass.

In fact, Katherine didn’t want to meet Marshall face to face. She got annoyed at the thought of what Marshall had said to her at night.

However, she was feeling intolerable thirst.

After thinking for a long while at the staircase, Katherine went downstairs.

Marshall saw her when she took the first step.

He simply glanced up at her and looked back immediately.

Ignoring Marshall, Katherine went straight to the kitchen, got a bottle of water, and walked upstairs.

When she got back to her room, Katherine closed the door and leaned against it.

Now wide awake, she realized that Marshall was kind of weird today.

What was he doing downstairs silently?

Katherine drank the water, sat down on the bed and looked at the phone. It was already after midnight.

Had Marshall got up from a sleep?

It wasn’t holiday tomorrow. Was it because he didn’t need to go to work tomorrow that he wasn’t sleeping now?

Katherine failed to figure it out.

She went to the door, opened it a crack and peeked outside. Marshall hadn’t come up yet.
