CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 401

Katherine’s mind instantly went blank. After staring at Marshall for a while woodenly, she asked, “How did you find here?”

Marshall let out a sigh, “Could you let me first go home and rest for a bit. I drove for a long time and now feeling exhausted.”

One of the villagers hurriedly came over, “Katherine, is this your husband?”

Katherine gazed at Marshall and remained silent like she hadn’t heard the villager’s question.

Marshall on the other hand beamed, “Hi, folks. I meant to come home with Kathy, but something suddenly went wrong in the company and I got stalled. She was quite in a hurry, so just went home herself. It really took me a long time to get here.”

Those villagers certainly didn’t know what exactly happened and said hurriedly, “Sure, you must be tired. Go home and take a rest.”

Marshall got on the car and Katherine followed after she was nudged by aunt Kelly.

She seemed to have just come to herself and led the way for Marshall stiffly till he finally made it to the old house.

Sitting in the car, the pair didn’t get out instantly. Marshall exhaled a breath, “I’m really sorry that I didn’t come here sooner.”

Katherine was still muddle-headed and answered lowly, “You got nothing to be sorry for.”

Marshall got out of the car and saw that rather shabby house.

But he didn’t seem to despise and just walked in.

The room was even more empty with no passable furniture inside.

Marshall scanned around and saw that photo in Old Mr. Jordan’s bedroom.

Katherine stood by the door, “What are you doing here?”

Instead of answering the question, Marshall stared at the photo, “I’ve never seen the little you.”

Katherine was in a half-new dress and wearing ponytails in the photo. One can tell right away that she came from a rather poor family.

But she beamed innocently.

Old Mr. Jordan was still young at that time and was hugging Katherine lovingly.

Marshall actually didn’t remember what Old Mr. Jordan looked like for he just met him several times. He was already emaciated by the time.

Leaning against the door frame, Katherine was a bit on edge. Not in a million years would she expect Marshall to be here.

Marshall examined for a while and smiled, “Where is grandpa’s grave. I want to pay my tribute.”

“There is no need of that.” Katherine straight replied, “You are in no position to do that.”

Looking at Katherine, Marshall found that Katherine had lost the edge and looked rather listless.

Marshall walked towards her and touched her face, “You must have suffered a lot these days.”

Katherine dodged and didn’t say anything.

Marshall looked around, “Have you had anything yet. I learned a few dishes recently and can fix you one.”

Katherine still remained silent. Marshall just went to the kitchen himself.

But before he could do anything, the villagers walked in.

Well, it was pretty rare that a stranger would come to this village, so all the residents were pretty curious about Katherine’s husband, especially it was said that he was quite well-off.

Marshall knew that these people were coming for him and immediately greeted.

He had seen all sorts of people in the business world, so it was pretty easy to get around with these villagers.

Katherine just stood in the room and looked out through the window.

Marshall greeted those seniors to sit down and answered their questions one by one politely and calmly.

Katherine went to sit on her bed.

It looked like that she had to change her plan again. Now that Marshall was here, she can’t stay here long.

Katherine didn’t know what Marshall said outside, but one of the grandpas came in and held Katherine’s hand saying thanks and praising Marshall a good person.

Katherine smiled along and was pretty awkward as she didn’t have a clue of what happened.

All the people in the yard were shaking Marshall’s hand and praising him.
