CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 383

Ralph turned around to look at Margaret and thought she was simply helping to ask as Katherine’s friend.

He nodded and replied, “It is true that Marshall has taken that woman away. Besides, they were behaving like they had already knew each other for a long time when they were in the bar.”

Katherine was surprised because they could tell from that woman’s dress that she seemed to show up in the bar frequently and it was impossible for Marshall to know her before.

However, she was still uncertain because everything was possible.

Margaret was disappointed and turned to look at Ralph, saying, “Do you mean it is likely that Marshall was in relation with the woman a long time ago?”

Ralph didn’t dare draw a hasty conclusion because the media hadn’t made any prediction by only referring that they left together. Therefore, Ralph didn’t say anything but smiled. However, his smile could already be regarded as an answer.

Margaret sighed, “I never expect that Marshall is that kind of man.”

Katherine smiled beside her, “We can’t expect everyone to be a good person. Marshall might turn into another man when everyone is absent.”

Ralph thought for a while and continued, “That’s not the same Marshall I used to know. I met him before when I was on a business trip. Those bosses couldn’t even move when seeing pretty girls, except him, who showed a despise look when girls were around him.”

Ralph also couldn’t figure out why would Marshall turn into such a frivolous man.

He thought this whole thing was weird. However, he couldn’t speak out his true feelings because it would seem that he was trying to white wash Marshall.

Ralph hurriedly finished his coffee and stood up, saying, “I still have other things to do and won’t bother you anymore. Katherine, go to visit the Walters family if you have spare time.”

Katherine nodded and said in a perfunctory way, “Okay, I know.”

She sent Ralph back on car. After he left, she turned around and got in the store.

Margaret seemed upset when standing behind the bar table.

Katherine didn’t think too much and said, “Come on and have some fruits. Let’s see what he has brought to us!”

Margaret was clearly not in the mood when Katherine went to unpack the box.

It was a gift box with various combinations of fruits and they all looked juicy.

Katherine couldn’t name many of them and felt she was really blew in many kinds of aspects for being ignorant for wealthy people’s life.

She grabbed some and went to wash them. Then she looked at Margaret and asked, “What’s wrong? It seems that you’re not in your element.”

Margaret forced a smiled and responded, “I am not. I am just a bit shocked after hearing Mr. Ralph Walters’ words.”

Katherine was stupefied, “What shocked you? Do you mean Ralph’s words about Marshall?”

Margaret lowered her eyes and said, “I am just a little surprised. I can’t tell clearly what my feeling is. Well, I can only say I never expect that.”

Katherine smiled, “Maybe it is because you haven’t experienced much. It is a normal thing. Human is a complex creature. I understand that Marshall often leaves people with a glamorous image, but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t have any flaw.”

Margaret nodded and didn’t say anything.

Katherine was not busy today. Although it wasn’t closing time, she told Margaret that she could leave early when finding she was not in the state.

It seemed not many guests would come and she could run the store by herself for a while.

Margaret didn’t refuse. She told Katherine that she might get a cold and her nose felt uncomfortable because she had taken a nap on the table during the lunch time.

Katherine petted on her shoulder and said, “Go home to have some ginger-ale. Don’t wait until it gets worse and have to take medicine. You will suffer a lot at that time.”

Margaret stared at Katherine for a long time and finally packed things up and left.

Katherine was sitting by the window. She leaned against chair and seemed to be a bit decadent.

She looked outside the window and seemed to be in a trance.

After a while, she noticed a familiar face. It was Mrs. Grant.

However, Mrs. Grant wasn’t alone with Clara as her company.

Clara was in a long dress and looked like a lady. She was like Frances’ daughter when walking beside her.

It seemed that they went for shopping. Katherine didn’t know they passed by her store accidentally or deliberately.
