CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 409

Peter had already booked the return tickets while Marshall was ready to go. There was a lot of food in his trunk, and Katherine gave it all to Kelly. Kelly’s children couldn’t be happier. Kelly didn’t want Katherine to leave, but she was also aware that it would be better for her to go. If Katherine stayed here, Reuben would always be looking for an opportunity to come back at her.

Meanwhile, those who were about to leave with Marshall had packed up and came out with their luggage. Since Marshall’s car wasn’t big enough for all of them, someone drove a tractor and sent them out of the village.

Marshall and Katherine drove to the car dealer’s to return the car first before they took a taxi to the railway station to join the other villagers.

Katherine worried about a great crowd of people traveling together, but Marshall had everything prepared so it was a smooth journey. When they changed trains midway, no one got tired from waiting due to the reasonable management of timing. As the group of people got off the train at the terminal, Peter was already waiting at the railway station.

The villagers were at a loss when they arrived because they knew no one in this unfamiliar city. Meanwhile, Peter arranged for the cars to send them to the warehouse. It was a large warehouse which required a large labor force, and the warehouse staff processed their entry right after the villagers arrived.

But the villagers didn’t hold high expectations since Katherine had told them that she only knew a junior foreman, so they were satisfied with a job to do. Katherine was afraid that the villagers would refuse to settle for the current job and ask for a gravy one once they knew that the warehouse belonged to the Grant family. After all, greed was like a valley that could never be filled.

When the villagers left, Peter drove Katherine and Marshall to her house.

Katherine was exhausted, her stomach churning. During the journey, she had tried so hard to suppress her pregnancy reaction. It was really difficult for her to fight back the nausea. Now that she was in the car, she couldn’t resist it anymore, pleading, "Peter, please slow down and open the window. I get carsick and feel like throwing up."

Not suspecting anything, Peter slowed down at once and opened all car windows, while Marshall was patting Katherine gently on the back.

Finally, they arrived. Katherine shoved the door open and started to vomit squatting on the roadside, but there was nothing coming out.

Marshall got off the car and gave her a bottle of water to rinse her mouth. "Carsick? I remember you don’t get carsick."

Katherine took a deep breath. "Probably it’s because I’m worn out. I have a headache, and my stomach is churning, so I get carsick."

Marshall nodded. "You should get in and have a rest. You were always lying down during the journey, but it’s still exhausting."

Katherine stood up, stroked her underbelly and walked into the courtyard. Peter, meanwhile, carried the luggage in as she went straight into the room without paying attention to Marshall and Peter downstairs. She was also light-headed because the train shook terribly.

Katherine lay on the bed for a while before sending a text message to Margaret because the latter had told her that Mrs. Grant had come to ask about her.

Katherine, nevertheless, found it amusing. Mrs. Grant had always been at her heels, no matter she and Marshall got divorced or not. Sometimes, Katherine even felt that Mrs. Grant was obsessed with her. Unfortunately, one could never be happy when all he had on his mind was someone he hated.

Katherine took a nap after she sent the text message. When she woke up, she heard people talking downstairs. She went out of her room and looked down from the head of the stairs on the second floor.

There were many people downstairs, including Marshall, Peter, Kyle, and surprisingly, Ralph. It was unknown what the four men were talking about, but Kyle said in confusion, "I can’t understand what you’re saying. Just tell me what I should do. Your analysis gives me a headache."

It had been some time since Katherine had seen Kyle, and she quite missed him.

Katherine greeted him with a smile. "Hey Kyle."
