CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 405

Reuben stepped towards Katherine, “Kathy, I know you don’t mean it...”

Marshall immediately stopped him, “Stay away from my wife.”

Reuben looked at Marshall angrily at first but them cracked a smile, “My dear son-in-law. There are some misunderstandings between me and Katherine. Let’s go inside and talk them over. Don’t be so distant. We’re a family.”

One of the grandpas spoke out, “You have no right to enter this house. All the villagers here helped to repair it. One of the walls collapsed one year when it poured and your daughter and dad almost got crashed inside. Where the hell were you back then? You’re not allowed to go in there.”

Reuben dared not to vent his anger to Marshall but slowly got impatient when he was attacked by everyone here.

He shrieked, “This is my house! You’re in no position to meddle in my family business.”

Then someone got irritated and yelled, “We helped to build this house together. Of course we have the right. This house is for your dad and Kathy and not for a piece of trash like you.”

Reuben didn’t know how to fight back all these people and got speechless.

Katherine didn’t want to see Reuben’s face and just said, “You wanted to see me, right? Well, you got what you wanted now. Thanks to these people here. I’m all right now, so you can leave now.”

Reuben looked terrible. He came a long way here and certainly wasn’t home just to look at her.

After staring at Katherine for a while, Reuben’s eyes reddened, “Kathy, you just wouldn’t forgive you, would you?”

Katherine nodded, “Right, I would never forgive you.”

Reuben was taken aback by Katherine’s brisk answer and instantly didn’t know what to do.

Katherine got impatient and waved her hand, “Just go. I don’t want to see you.”

Then she straight passed Reuben and went in the room.

Reuben hissed and wanted to follow her.

Marshall quickly stepped forward and blocked him, “Please go back. You’re not welcomed here.”

Reuben frowned at Marshall and dared not to say anything.

He then shouted at Katherine inside the room, “Kathy, I really missed you all these years. Pleased don’t be mad be me. I had no choice back then.”

Some of the people got amused and chimed in, “How brazen is this man? How can he do such a thing. His father wouldn’t die early if he hadn’t left with his wife back then. His poor dad hadn’t lived a day of comfort.”

“Right. I really felt sad for Old Mr. Jordan. Can you imagine him hiding in this leaked house with little Katherine? How miserable. I really can’t this about this anymore. I might cry.”

As all the people here were rebuking Reuben, he stood in the yard silently for a while and left.

Marshall hurriedly said thanks to all the villager and went inside.

Katherine was sitting on her bed and didn’t seen sad or displeased.

Marshall stood in front of her, “He’s gone. It’s okay.”

Katherine sneered, “Okay? Believe it or not. He will come here again.”

Marshall didn’t say anything as he thought the same thing.

Katherine took a deep breath, “My mom contacted me before and said almost the same thing like that man. So I figured that they must have communicated with each other before.”

Well, what did it mean for a divorced couple to unify their statements?

They must have the same agenda, just like what Marshall did with her before.

Normally, it wouldn’t be so awkward and complicated if they truly wanted to remind relationship with their daughter.

So Katherine added, “They are here for the money.”

Though she wasn’t sure of this now, but she assumed that they must know Marshall’s identity at this point.
