CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 297

He looked at Katherine from afar, saying nothing.

He had thought she would spot him when she looked around outside the door.

But she didn’t.

He was sitting in the car silently. In fact, he came here the day before yesterday and saw her watering the flowers happily.

It seemed that she had a happier life by herself than with him.

After a while, a car stopped in front of the house.

He saw Hector in the streetlight.

He sneered.

He finally understood why Katherine opened the door at late night.

Katherine saw him when Hector stepped into the yard. She stood up and said, “I’ve made tea for you to sober up.”

Hector entered the room and saw the tea on the table.

He sat opposite her, glanced at the tea and smiled. “It’s for me?”

She nodded. “Of course. I didn’t drink in case that I would lose sleep.”

He took the cup. It was warm.

He drank half in one go. In fact, he hadn’t drunk too much.

He put it down. “Actually, I was not happy until I got the call from you.”

This morning he had a quarrel with Kevin. Kevinn said, “You’re the same as your mother.”

He retorted immediately, “That couldn’t be better. I was afraid of being like you, which is desperate for me.”

He was depressed due to the quarrel.

Even during the dinner, he was still not himself no matter how Mr. Dickins tried to raise the atmosphere.

But then he received the call from Katherine.

“It somehow reminded me of the day I went to the Bennett company with you.”

She couldn’t think of anything special that day.

She smiled. “So, who do you think of? Patrick or Alexis?”

“No,” he said, “You.”

He stared at her.

She was about to ask what he had thought of when she saw his serious face with softness in the eyes. Her smile faded away.

“What do you wanna say? You’re embarrassing me.” Said she.

“Actually, you knew I was taking advantage of you that day, didn’t you?” He laughed after a second.

She was astonished with her mouth compressed, saying nothing.

Silence meant yes.

He heaved a sigh of relief. “I did want to take advantage of you, and you noticed it later.”

But she didn’t ask him anything.

“Never mind. I’m glad I could help you.” She smiled after a second.

His eyes were getting softer and softer. He sat straight. “You’re the first one who’s willing to help me no matter what I have done since I was born.”

She wondered what’s wrong with him today.

“Katherine, I want to tell you something that I have long wanted to tell you. Actually, I …” He stared at her.

“Oh, what a coincidence. Hector’s here.” A voice came from the door.

Katherine was shocked to almost jump from the sofa.

She saw Marshall standing by the door with hands in his pocket somehow.
