Katherine came downstairs in a while and said slowly, “You can leave now. There is nothing for you to do here. I can fix the dinner myself.”
The old Marshall would definitely tease her a bit for casting him aside when she didn’t need him, but now, he had come up with a better and more effective idea.
He directly answered, “Nah, I don’t want to leave. How can you treat me this way? I even made the soup for you. I’d like to stay.”
Then Marshall just went to rummage through the fridge, “We can eat something else if you don’t want to have takeaways. Let me see. Maybe I can give it a try.”
Katherine rolled her eyes at him. “Step aside.”
Marshall then stood upright and watched Katherine picking out some veggies from the fridge.
He hurriedly took them over, “I’ll wash them. You can concentrate on cooking later.”
Katherine glanced at Marshall and didn’t reject him.
‘Well, he is indeed taking good care of me today. I can just think this as... as...’
‘Stop it. Don’t think too much about this.’ Katherine struggled inside.
While they were teaming up to get the food on the table, Kyle drove the car over.
He yelled before he even stepped foot in the house, “Katherine, are you okay? I went to the store and Margaret said that you didn’t look all right and went home. What happened?”
Kyle’s voice was distinctively audible even one was on the second floor.
Katherine paid no heed to Kyle and went on cooking dishes.
Kyle heard the noise in the kitchen upon entering the house and hurriedly swooped in.
Then he just paused, “Marshall? What are you doing here?”
Marshall was helping to clean the sink and didn’t even turn to Kyle, “Why can’t I be here? You are here, aren’t you?”
Kyle hissed, “I come here because me and Katherine are friends. You are her ex-husband. Why are you paying such frequent visits here?”
Marshall pondered and changed the subject, “I saw Alexis today. She collided her car with someone. Then she just got hot-tempered and stroke the man. He looked pretty injured to me.”
Kyle’s eyes immediately widened, “Really? Well, I got to look into this. If it’s true, I would for sure shape the public opinion and destroy her once and for all this time.”
Marshall smiled, “Well, I’ll be watching.”
Kyle leaned closer and looked at the pot, “I haven’t had dinner yet. How much did you cook?”
Katherine grinned, “Why didn’t you come here after having dinner?”
Kyle pouted, “Well, it’s dinner time now. Of course I would come here with an empty belly.”
Katherine then handed the plates to Kyle, “Take these to the dining room.”
She meant to save a portion for the breakfast, but now, it seemed impossible.
After getting everything done, the three went to the dining room.
Kyle wanted to know more about what happened to Alexis and just kept on inquiring Marshall.
Marshall just gave him a rough description of what he saw, but this certainly can’t satisfy Kyle.
He mused for a while and called someone to give this accident a thorough investigation.
After hanging up the phone, Kyle rubbed his hands together excitedly and exclaimed that he had another goal in his life.
Katherine smiled wryly and looked at Kyle, “Kyle, if you really got so much time to spare, why don’t you focusing on fixing your personal problem? It’s waste of time to spend your time on others. You should really think about yourself more.”
Kyle paused, “Myself? Well, I got nothing to worry. I’m great this way.”
Lips pursed, Katherine asked, “Were you hurt by a girl before?”
Kyle first nodded and then shook his head, “I was hurt, but nothing like you would presume. It’s just I would lose all my interests on women once I see my four sisters. Honestly, I think I would lead a pretty sweet life being alone.”
