At the moment, Katherine was confused by his words, "What? What did he ask? Was it because he wanted something from me?"
Kyle sat with his legs crossed, "Nothing special, actually. He just asked me something like how were you doing, what had you been busy with recently and so on. To be honest, I think he's quite being eccentric now, since I have never seen him like this before!"
His idea coincided with that of Katherine. With her eyes popped, Katherine nodded, "Indeed. I'm wondering whether he is being vexed about the money he gave me."
After their divorce, Marshall had given Katherine a tremendous sum of money as compensation, an amount that was totally out of reach for most ordinaries in their lifetimes.
For Katherine, it was quite unbelievable that Marshall would just generously give her that amount and ask for nothing in return. Therefore, she was wondering whether he was regretting his previous decision and want to have it back.
With a puzzled expression on his face, Kyle said, "No, I don't think he is that kind of pathetic miser."
Even though hearing he said so, Katherine still chose to stick to her own opinion, since Marshall was a businessman, and a businessman would never let his money go in vain.
Sitting by the side, Hector gave Katherine a glance and said, "Anyway, even though things have been going better recently, I think Kathy should stay away from Marshall for a while, since no one knows where those paparazzi are, and what they are going to do next."
Clearly, he was reminding Katherine of something.
Katherine nodded in haste and said, "OK, I know, Hector. I'll keep that in mind."
She thought what Hector said did make sense.
She spent her whole day at Kyle'place, and didn't leave until she had dinner.
Before she left, Kyle once again reminded Katherine, "Hey, Kathy! Don't forget about the birthday party tomorrow!"
Katherine nodded, "Don't worry, I'll be there on time."
The birthday party of Old Mrs. Walters was tomorrow.
In order to show everyone the best of herself at the party, she had even called a dresser for door-to-door service to dress her up, since possibly there would be many distinguished dignitaries attending the parties.
Afterwards, Katherine caught a taxi and left. Originally, Kyle meant to drive her back to her place, but Katherine refused his proposal, since he would possibly find an excuse to stay in her house after they arrived, and not leave until he was satisfied.
The only thing she wanted for the moment was to take a good rest.
Without any reluctance, Kyle made a concession and watched her leave.
Along her way back home, she felt that her tiredness was swallowing her bit by bit.
Getting out of the car, she waved to bid farewell to the driver, and stepped into the front yard of her house.
It was dark inside. As she got into her house, Katherine turned on the lights, and found that everything was as usual.
Then, she went straight to the kitchen, got herself a bottle of water and then hobbled upstairs.
Nothing was seemingly wrong when she came to her bedroom's door.
However, as she turned on the bedroom's lights, she was frightened to see a man standing by the window.
The man didn't hide nor escape. He just simply turned around, looked at her and frowned, "Guess what? I have been standing by the window all along. Next time, you'd better look up and check inside the bedroom through the window before you step into the door."
Standing there, Katherine panted for a while, and threw at Marshall with the bottle of water, "You've fucking scared me, asshole! Why the fuck are you in my house?"
The bottle of water missed its target, and brushed past Marshall.
Frowning, Marshall leaned on the windowsill and stared at Katherine.
His manner of frowning really annoyed Katherine. Just now, he terrified her by showing up in her house without noticing her in advance, and now, he was putting a weird face against her, as if something was bewildering him.
'He is really being outrageous.' Katherine thought.
Then, she stepped inside, walked straight towards Marshall and struck out at him with her fist. However, she failed, as Marshall stopped her by catching her wrist.
He caught her wrist and drew her into his embrace gently.
With her teeth gritted, Katherine was on the edge of losing her mind, and raised the other hand to thump on Marshall's body.
With a few blows hit on his body, Marshall slightly raised his chin and still frowned at Katherine.
Katherine continued with rage, "You want your money back, don't you? I guess you regret giving me that amount of money, huh? If you want it, then just say it, and I will give that shit back to you!"
