Marshall could pull Katherine off him easily if he wanted to.
But he felt guilty now because he realized he had scared her very badly.
So he let her ride on him. reaching out his arms to touch her head.
Even when Katherine was extremely angry, she had never wanted to beat him hard.
She punched lightly on Marshall's arms, deriding and taunting.
He popped out from nowhere in the middle of the night, which nearly scared the hell out of her.
Hitting people could be tiring, and Kathrin was keep the most tiring posture.
She was already exhausted after a few rounds.
Marshall smiled. He raised his hand and raised squeezed her shoulder. Then he pulled her off his waist.
Katherine knelt on the bed and yelled, "I was being too kind to you. I should call the police and put you in jail so that you can learn a lesson."
She said as she looked around for her phone.
Marshall moved faster than her. He grabbed Katherine’s wrists and said, "You can call the police later if you want to, but I have a few questions for you now. I flew all the way down here because of those questions. You have to give me an answer first."
Katherine tried to pull her hands off his grip, but she failed again and again. Finally, she gave up.
She looked at Marshall, "OK, I want to know what made you do this crazy stuff. I'm listening."
Marshall leaned towards her and suddenly looked serious.
He said, "Are you with Hector now?"
Katherine sneered, "Yeah, yeah, I thought I've told you that. We're seeing each other."
Marshall leaned closer and asked in a lower voice, "Just tell me the truth. Don't say that just to make me mad. Are you really dating him?"
His voice was getting lower and lower, lighter and lighter.
Under the bright moonlight, the two were so close that they could see each other's facial expressions clearly.
Marshall looked serious, and with some affectionate in his eyes.
Looking into those eyes, Katherine suddenly found it hard to lie that the forged affair between Hector and her was true.
She pursed his lips and stared at Marshall.
Katherine was in a trance. She could smell the dust on him. He had been through a long and tiring flight.
Marshall raised his hand and put it on Katherine's head. Then he rubbed it and asked, "You're not dating him, aren't you?"
Katherine was being angry. "It's none of your business."
Marshall laughed, "Is it? I told you I'll never allow you to be with somebody else. You belonged with me in the past, and will always belong with me in the future."
"Shut up." Katherine couldn't help swearing. Then she said, "We're divorced, don't you remember? I'm very confused now. Are you trying to restore our marriage? But I remembered how much you looked down on me before."
Marshall's face stiffened. Then he sighed, "I was stupid. Forgive me for that."
She felt he was being a bit humble, and she didn't know if he deliberately made it that way.
Katherine felt a bit uncomfortable. She moved back and then changed the subject. "I'll give you one more chance. You can leave now. If you do this one more time in the future, I will teach you a lesson."
Marshall wasn't afraid at all. He knew she was just bluffing. Inside, she was a very gentle and kind woman.
Hector might have seen her through. He took advantage of her kindness and confessed to her on that huge stage to make it hard for her to refuse him.
Hector knew Katherine couldn't bear to see him getting embarassed.
Hector acted as if he was indifferent to fame and wealth, but he could be very calculating.
Marshall curled his lips and said, "I came to you right after from the airport. I didn't even go back home. My suitcase is still in your yard. There's no cab on the streets now. You wouldn't let me walk back with that big suitcase, would you?"
He babbled and babbled, but what he wanted was simple.
Katherine grifted her teeth and stared at Marshall. Then she got off the bed.
She opened the door and pointed out. "Just get out."
That was a way to say that he could be anywhere else except for her room.
Marshall grinned a sly smile.
