CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 332

Katherine also lowered her voice, “Did you send me home last night?”

Marshall was quiet for a while, but Katherine can hear people talking over the phone.

He was probably in a meeting.

Katherine blinked her eyes and said, “Okay, call me back when you are available.”

Then she just hung up the phone and started zoning out on the sofa.

Hector’s SIM card was still in her home, so she ought to send it to him.

After waiting for a while, Marshall didn’t call her back, so Katherine grabbed a cab to Kyle’s place.

Hector was not in Bennett’s house now and would sleep at Kyle’s once in a while.

Kyle was still sleeping when Katherine went over, so she asked the waiter to call him.

Barefooted, Kyle went out in pajamas, “What’s wrong? Why are you here so early?”

Katherine asked whether he knew where Hector was and took out his SIM card.

Kyle paused, “Hector dropped this in your yard? Where is his phone?”

Katherine heaved a sigh, “It’s broken.”

Kyle scratched his head, “Well, was he so wasted last night? I didn’t know where did he sleep. I headed directly here. I will ask someone to find him. He should be fine. Don’t worry about it.”

Katherine actually wasn’t worried about Hector’s safety for he had been living alone for years and definitely wouldn’t be injured on his home turf.

Kyle also looked puzzled about last night, so Katherine just gave up interrogating him.

Katherine didn’t stay long at Kyle’s place. She left Hector’s SIM card there and went to her store.

Margaret was already buried in work.

Katherine went over, “When did you guys leave yesterday?”

Margaret didn’t drink too much and recalled, “About ten o’clock. Then I went to find you when you went missing.”

Katherine still couldn’t bring to her mind about what happened after she’d gone to the bathroom.

Margaret then added, “I was absolutely shocked when Hector bolted out after he heard that you were picked up by Marshall. I thought something horrible must have happened.”

Katherine chuckled, “He was probably afraid that Marshall would beat me up when I’m unconscious.”

After all, Hector was there when Marshall almost got physical with her.

She then helped Margaret to organize and got Marshall’s call after a while.

He said that he was in Katherine’s home.

Katherine paused, “What are you doing there? You can just give me a call!”

Marshall smiled, “Where are you? Just get back. I’m at your doorstep.”

Katherine checked the time and found that it was lunch break.

She actually didn’t want to meet Marshall now for she felt like that she had said everything perfectly clear that day. Moreover, she would get vexed every time she thought about how they fought.

But still, she felt she owed Marshall one since he drove her home yesterday.

After thinking for a while, Katherine answered okay and hung up.

She then bade farewell to Margaret and called a taxi.

To her surprise, Marshall was sitting on the sofa and watching TV when she went home.

“How did you get in here?” Katherine was dumbfounded.

Marshall pointed upstairs, “I told you to shut the balcony door. How come that you never listen?”

Katherine meant to say thanks to Marshall before, but now, she didn’t feel the need to do so.

Face darkened, Katherine sat opposite to Marshall, “You sent me home yesterday? You didn’t do anything appropriate to me, did you?”

Marshall grinned, “Well, you seem disappointed. You can tell me whatever you want. I will for sure play along.”

Frowned, Katherine replied, “You have absolutely no sense of shame.”

Then she continued, “Did you see Hector last night?”

Marshall paused, “Hector? Why would you ask that?”

“Well, his phone was broken to pieces at my doorstep yesterday. Did you do that? You didn’t get physical with him, did you?”

Marshall muttered after pausing for a second. “Am I just this kind of person to you?”

‘Well, sure. He punched at Hector’s nose on the second floor before and the bruises on Hector’s nose didn’t go away for days.’ Katherine thought inside.

Marshall snorted, “Rest assured. We didn’t fight. I actually got quite along with Hector.”

Katherine didn’t buy his words at all.

Lips pursed, Katherine said, “Well, you are quite in a good mood today. Weren’t you quite formidable?”

Marshall let out a sarcastic smile, “Not as tough as you.”

They were at each other’s throats that day, but still, he was the one who got defeated.

Then they didn’t contact with each other for days, but this woman still looked as merry as ever and he turned out to be edgy all day.

Marshall now had a new perspective on his relationship with Katherine.

There was no way that Katherine would be docile if he chose to be all domineering when he was with her for it would just backfire.

He must chime in with her.

She was as rebellious as she can be now and he was unable to tame her.

Marshall would feel contented and joyful every time he thought about Hector’s face last night.

It seemed like that he had vented all the anger that he had bottled up that day.

“Katherine, can we please just stop fighting and be nice to each other?”

This was the first time ever that Mr. Grant had swallowed his pride and talked to someone so meekly.

Katherine sneered, “I have never wanted to quarrel with you myself. You had gone too far.”

Marshall didn’t want to reason with her and just nodded, “Right, it’s all my fault.”

‘Well, I had got what I wanted yesterday, so it’s no harm to be lectured by her.’ Marshall talked to himself inside.

Katherine felt there was nothing to say to Marshall now, so she stood up, “Well, you can leave now.”

Marshall then grinned, “Could you cook noodles for me? I haven’t had lunch yet. Could you please do it as I sent you home yesterday?”

Marshall didn’t care about whether Katherine would call him shameless at this point.

Katherine paused and stared at Marshall for a moment. She then went into the kitchen.

It was actually quite easy to fix him noodles as she had all the materials.

There were still eggs, beef minces and veggies left. These were staples in her noodles.

She got some salted pickles that she made from the fridge and took it out.

Marshall looked at the noodles and felt familiar.

Sitting across Marshall, Katherine texted Kyle to see if he had found Hector.

Kyle immediately texted back and said that Hector was with Rosalie now to discuss the talent show details. He also added that Hector didn’t know that he had dropped the phone and thought that he had lost it.

Marshall and Katherine didn’t talk to each other the whole time.

Marshall was quite pleased and ate all the noodles even with the soup.

He burped and said, “I haven’t got so full for a long time.”

Katherine chortled, “Is that so? The Grants is quite stingy, huh?”

As she was about to clear all the dishes, Marshall stood up and said, “Allow me.”

He then put all the dishes into the dishwasher.

Katherine was texting with her legs crossed on the sofa when he went to the living room.

Marshall can well figure out who she was texting to.

He leaned against the kitchen door and said, “Your store name sounded horrible.”

Katherine chuckled and didn’t look away from her phone, “Well, suck it up. I didn’t open the store for you.”

Marshall beamed and thought why was she so sharp-tongued towards him? However, it seemed like that she only got a bad attitude towards him, so in a way, he was special in her mind.

Marshall checked the time and said, “I’m gonna go. Remember to shut the balcony door.”

Katherine just nodded and didn’t say anything.

Marshall glanced at her and found her quite sexy and erotic though she was just sitting on the sofa drowsily. It was probably because that he entangled with her quite fervently last night. She looked like a mature woman to him.

Marshall exhaled silently and felt that his chest was heaving up and down violently.

Marshall got on his car and found that Frances texted him.

She said that they hadn’t had dinner together for a while and wondered if he had time tonight.

Well, it was true that he hadn’t seen Frances for days, so he texted that he was available.
