CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 402

Marshall certainly can’t stand idling around. After getting all the dishes done, he just went out.

It looked like that he was trying to get him acquainted with the villagers here.

Katherine felt quite drowsy after lunch. Now that Marshall was here, she really didn’t need to worry about anything and just went to bed.

Marshall strolled around the street.

This village was pretty economically backward and there were just less than one hundred households here and they all looked the same.

Now that they all had lunch, they were just chatting at doorsteps.

Not surprisingly, they were talking about Marshall and Katherine.

This was a poor village. As Marshall was well-dressed and driving a good car, there was no telling how rich he was.

They were all exclaiming how lucky Katherine was.

It was not easy for a village girl to marry into a rich family. It must be that Katherine’s grandpa was blessing her.

While Marshall was passing by, they were all saying hellos to him asked had he eaten lunch yet.

Marshall grinned, “I’ve had it, uncle. I’m wondering do you know where Katherine’s grandpa was buried? I’d like to pay my tribute. Katherine is asleep and in don’t want to wake her up.”

They hailed, “How thoughtful are you!”

All the villagers here knew where Old Mr. Jordan was buried since they helped to lay him to rest as Katherine was clueless back then.

As all the men helped to dig the hole for him.

Then an old man said, “Yeah, sure. You have to buy some yellow papers before you go there. you certainly go there empty-handed. Let me fetch someone to lead the way for you.”

Marshall thanked him earnestly and took out his cigarette box from his pocket and passed the cigarettes around.

Those people hadn’t had fancy cigarettes before and was looking at it closely in curiosity.

The old man asked Jack who happened to be the person who said those harsh words in Katherine’s home.

Jack maybe outspoken but he was pretty kind-hearted as he helped a lot when Old Mr. Jordan passed away.

Jack then guided Marshall to buy some yellow pater and went up the mountain.

The two men walked pretty quickly and Marshall asked a lot of questions about Katherine and her grandpa on the way.

Jack took a sigh, “Katherine was pretty ill-fated. Her parents left when she was little and was brought up by her grandpa. Children in poor families become independent quite early and she started cooking and doing laundries when she was about five or six. She even went to farm with her grandpa when it was harvest season. Poor thing.”

Marshall felt painful inside and got distressed.

Jack then added, “But now she has married you. You certainly are a good man and definitely treats her well. She finally sees the light at the end of the tunnel.”

Marshall pursed his lips and then withdrew his sight.

He was quite terrible towards her before and had ignored all her effort and even allowed Frances to bully her.

Katherine was quite dizzy after waking up and didn’t even know when it was.

She went into the yard and saw the grandson of aunt Kelly next door playing in the yard.

He was about four and he was covered in dirt, but sure seemed merry.

Katherine thought for a while and then went to the kitchen and picked a few snacks for the kid.

His eyes immediately brightened up upon seeing the food.

Katherine gazed at the kid and some images came to her mind.
