CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 33

Peter was for a second stunned by her questions. Katherine then burst into laughter and said, "You're being too serious about that! I'm just kidding.”

To change her topic, she invited Peter, "Come and eat something with me. I bet that you didn't eat much since you have been drinking for a long hour.”

Katherine ordered way too much, she couldn’t possibly finish these all by herself.

Peter took a glance at those dishes on the table, and kindly said, "You know that the condition of your stomach would not allow you to eat something as spicy as these.”

Then, he naturally looked at his watch, and said, "Well, I must go now since there are still several files waiting to be checked. Your ex-husband is gonna kill me if I dare to be late.”

Katherine answered, "OK, do what you have to do. Besides, it's been a while since the last time we sat at the same dining table. How about going out for dinner next time when you are not occupied?"

Peter nodded, "No problem."

Katherine chose to sit down and not to accompany Peter to the doorway. Nibbling and chewing things in her mouth, she couldn't help but glanced at the pill lying in the corner of the table.

It was the first time in her life ever taking pills like these— also, not a good experience to some extent. While at least it could save her a lot of trouble.

As her chopsticks suddenly stopped in mid-air, she again reminded herself of the past and fell into a kind of self-mockery. Though not even for once she had ever taken any contraceptive when she had sex with Marshall, she always failed to get pregnant. Possibly, the end would be the same for this time even though she took the pills.

Gloomily, she lost her appetite and putted down the chopsticks.

In the room, there was a small refrigerator lying in the corner with juices and cans inside.

Katherine then opened up a can. Although the iciness made her feel less desirable to eat the can, she still held it in her hands, walked to the window and looked out.

There were still people hanging around on the beach, most of them were probably going out for a stroll. As time went by, a smile gradually spread on Katherine’s face — it was a smile out of loneliness and melancholy rather than of joy and happiness. Dating back to the old days when she was at the Grant Family, nobody willing to talk to her, she could still have someone by her side. But now, she was all alone.

After a while, she changed her clothes, and went out of the room.
