Marshall turned around and stood beside her, saying, “It’s dangerous for a girl to go on a journey.”
Katherine compressed her lips and thought for a while, reply, “Marshall, I have my own consideration. There’s something I have to do.”
Marshall looked at her seriously, seeming that he was abandoned by her.
Katherine explained, “I want to visit my grandfather. His one-year death anniversary has passed and I haven’t gone to be with him. I am his only family and I have to go back.”
Marshall’s tense nerve finally loosened up and said, “I will go with you.”
Katherine chuckled, “You don’t have to. I will go there by myself. I think there is no need to be so serious and ceremonious on someone who has already passed away.”
Marshall frowned, “I am not for the ceremony.”
Katherine hurriedly nodded, “I know, I know. You don’t have to explain. I know what you mean, but I want to go there alone. You haven’t been to our village and the residents will all come around to talk to you. I don’t want to explain with them who you are. Please let me go. I don’t want to cause any trouble.”
It was rare for Katherine to talk with Marshall in a calm tone. Her attitude was much better compared with the past.
Marshall knew there was no use to stop her!
Katherine looked at Marshall and said, “I just inform you instead of asking for your permission. I hope you can take care of the flowers for me during the time when I am out. I will be heart-broken if they die.”
She smiled after saying this, “Actually, it will be the same if I ask Peter here. I know you will still come to help me in the end. Hence, I decide to directly talk with you.”
Marshall thought Katherine was being too calm towards him.
He sighed, “It’s fine that you will go on a trip alone, but I really worry about your safety. How about I arrange someone to guard you? Is there any spare room in your hometown? You might need to tidy your room after going back and the guard will help you.”
Katherine shook her head and replied, “No need. It’s a small village and we all know each other. I can sleep over in other people’s home. People are hospitable and are willing to help me.”
Marshall knew he couldn’t persuade Katherine from leaving.
He nodded, “Fine, but I probably will call you every day. Make sure you will pick up, okay?”
He knew he had to compromise. Katherine replied, “Okay.”
Kyle stumbled through the living room right after they finished talking.
He was murmuring and they couldn’t hear her words clearly.
Marshall frowned, “I have to check. He’s possibly roaring drunk.”
Katherine didn’t say anything and Marshall hurriedly went downstairs to check how was Kyle. Actually, Kyle didn’t do anything crazy, but went towards the front door to wait for someone to pick him up.
Marshall had no other way but took a chair to sit beside him.
Although Kyle already couldn’t speak clearly, he still raved randomly.
He said one day he would help Hector to get all his property and let Patrick and Alexis confess when kneeing down in front of him.
He also said Ariel was a malicious woman and would definitely divorce with Kevin.
Kyle talked a lot, but Marshall was unwilling to hear any of it. He stood silently.
Katherine was observing them from the window in the second floor.
She touched her belly and really had no idea about what to do next.
Kyle’s clubhouse sent a driver to bring him back. He recognized that car and hurriedly pounce towards it.
The driver was startled and hurriedly slammed the brick. Kyle bent over the hood and smiled, “Finally you’re here. I miss you so much.”
Marshall got impatient, pulled Kyle’s collar and hinted the driver take him away.
