CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 403

After going back to home, Marshall asked Katherine to take a rest and he’ll responsible for cooking.

Standing by the door, Katherine would be lying if she said that see wasn’t touched by Marshall’s behavior.

She was actually deeply moved by Marshall coming all the way here as she was perfectly aware how isolated this place was and it must be difficult for him to find the way here.

The sun had gone done now and every household started cooking. Katherine looked around and went out.

Every household had its own little gardens to grow various veggies.

Katherine walked around and got a lot of greens.

These kind of cabbages were everywhere in the village, so nobody was stingy about them.

Katherine brought greens back and Marshall just took them over and started washing them by the well.

It actually looked like they were a real family here.

Katherine then went to the store and bought some rice to start cooking herself.

Fighting back the nausea induced by the oily fume, Katherine hurried the meal.

Marshall hugged her from behind, “I missed you very much the past couple of days.”

Katherine instantly stopped her movement, but instead of struggling, she said, “Marshall, is this because you know you can’t have me anymore, so you would want to keep me more?”

Marshall froze and hissed. It seemed like he was annoyed.

But still, he calmed himself down and said affectionately, “Why are you interpreting my love to you as such a filthy thing? Can’t I just miss you because I love you and want to take care of you?”

Katherine drooped her eyes, “Why do you like me? All you had was hatred and despise towards me in our short-lived marriage. How come you would suddenly say that you have feelings for me after we got divorced?”

Marshall actually didn’t know the answer to this question. Well, love is a tricky thing can be quite incomprehensible.

He didn’t say anything and just stared at Katherine with stubbornness in his eyes.

Katherine thought for a while, “Fine. Let’s stare having dinner. Go set the table.”

Marshall then grabbed some milk and canned fruit from car trunk.

Katherine then opened one of the boxes as she was in need of nutrition now for the baby.

While they were eating, some children came into the yard.

They walked in cringingly and looked inside.

Katherine went to open the door, “What’s wrong, little fella?”

They were around seven and in coarse clothes.

Seeing that Katherine was out, they started giggling shyly.

Katherine pretty much knew what they were up to.

She was just like them when she was little, so she called these kids in and gave away some snacks.

They then scattered away after getting the treat.

Katherine sat back on the chair, “I used to be very poor and wouldn’t have yummy snack all the year round. If we heard that one of the household was having delicacies, we would all flood to his house. It was not like that we wanted to have a bit or anything. We would simply feel satisfied just by looking at them.”

Marshall hadn’t never experienced this kind of life before and can’t quite understand these kids.

Katherine cracked a smiled, “Well, why would I bother? You wouldn’t understand this anyway. Rich people like you would never come to know how tough we poor people are.”

Marshall nodded, “Well, it’s true that I don’t understand this, but I want to get to know you as much as possible. I want to know what your life was like before I know you.”

Katherine smiled wryly, “Marshall, you’ve really changed.”

“Right.” Marshall hurriedly answered, “I’m not who I was before. You are the one who always assumes that I’m up to something, but actually I’m not.”

Katherine stroked her belly with her right hand, “Okay. Let’s start eating.”

After the meal, Katherine made Old Mr. Jordan’s bed and was planning on sleeping on it heralded so that Marshall could have her bed as she was afraid that Marshall would despise sleeping on a died man’s bed.

But Marshall stopped her, “There is no need of this. I’m fine sleeping on grandpa’s bed.”

He even lamented, “He is also my grandpa. I’m not afraid of it.”
