CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 404

Marshall chuckled, “You are glued to your phone. I’ve been standing by your side for a long time and you didn’t notice me. What’s wrong? Who is this guy? You are absolutely bewitched.”

Katherine put away her phone, “Nobody. You don’t know him.”

Marshall stared Katherine for a moment, “Well, you can introduce him to me.”

Katherine wasn’t in the mood to entertain him and just got out to start cooking.

Marshall followed her, “We don’t have to cook this morning. A grandpa just came over and wanted us to have meal at his place.”

Katherine paused, “Which grandpa?”

Marshall wouldn’t know this and just answered after pondering, “You would know when they come in a bit.”

Katherine then turned around and stood in the yard.

One of the villagers indeed walked in and invited Katherine and Marshall to lunch.

But it was not that grandpa who would entertain them but all the villagers.

They all pitched in and wanted to thank Marshall for donating money to build roads for them.

This road had been the nightmares of several generations.

Once it was done, the kids would have no trouble going to school and it would be more convenient for villagers to export local products.

Actually, they had nothing better to entertain Marshall but several chickens and sautéed meat which were incomparable to what Marshall would have usually in a fancy dinner.

But Marshall didn’t frown at the food but grinned, “Are these domestic chickens? They are purely natural and green.”

Village chief and secretary were on the same table with Marshall and they also brought a bottle of white wine.

Marshall declined as he might have to drive car later.

Then they just stopped persuading.

Katherine was also forced to join the table and instantly felt sickening when she smelled that chicken.

But she had no choice but to force it back under this circumstance.

Now that everyone was seated, they all started eating.

Everybody was merry and told Marshall that they wanted to fix the road long ago, but was unable to as they can’t pool the money.

Marshall then naturally followed that some strong men in the village could actually venture out to make a living.

Hearing Marshall’s words, one of the elders sighed, “Well, we’ve thought about this before, but there is no prosperous place for us to make money nearby. They can’t go too far as there are still elders and kids they have to attend at home. We can’t afford to give up growing crops while making meager salary outside.”

Katherine suddenly recalled the scene that she went to farm with her grandfather.

This was truly tough for them.

She mused and proposed, “Grandpa, I’ve been thinking this for a while and want to ask your opinion. We can bring some people back this time if you want to. I know a guy who is a low-level manager and he is in short of manpower. The food and lodging will be provided. Family members can also be brought along.”

Marshall turned to Katherine and raised the corner of his mouth, “Right, you can think about this. If you are willing to, you can go back with us.”

All the villagers immediately got excited as this offer was pretty generous.

Katherine let out a breath,

People present all lent a hand when her grandpa passed away. This could be seen as a return for their kindness.
