After the talk, the group of men was about to leave Katherine’s house. Meanwhile, Marshall asked her to get dressed so that he could take her out for dinner.
Katherine nodded. She had spent hours on the way and the food on the train was terrible, and she was starving now. Therefore, Katherine went upstairs at once to get changed, while Marshall stayed where he was for a while before coming up with her.
Standing in the living room, Ralph chuckled. "I’ve never seen Marshall like that. It’s not like Katherine is about to leave or anything, but he can’t stand being away from her for a moment."
Peter let out a sigh. "That’s why I really don’t understand why Mr. Grant was determined to divorce her back then. Now it seems that he’s having a taste of his own medicine."
None of the people present was aware of the reason why Marshall and Katherine got a divorce. These two had always kept a low profile after they had got married, but unexpectedly, word got out that they divorced all of a sudden.
Marshall went into the room and saw Katherine putting on her clothes. He caught a glimpse of her bare waist and nothing else. Katherine gathered her coat around her and whispered in annoyance since there were still guests downstairs, "Marshall, could you knock on the door or make some noise before you enter someone else’s room? I don’t like you doing that."
Marshall nodded and played along with her. "It’s my fault. I won’t do it again."
Katherine said as she fixed her hair, "Why did you come up with me? I’ll be ready in a minute."
Marshall replied, "You left your phone downstairs before you went to bed and I got a call from your mother."
Katherine paused, her face darkening suddenly. "Don’t answer my phone next time."
Marshall heaved a sigh. "Katherine, I’m more than happy to offer help if you’re in trouble. Don’t worry if you’ll be owing me a favor."
Katherine didn’t feel like continuing this subject. "Enough of that. Let’s go downstairs. I’m starving." Hardly had she finished her sentence than she brushed past Marshall and walked out of the room.
Marshall followed behind. He had expected that the relationship between the them would take a favorable turn after he had made a trip to her hometown, but now it seemed that everything remained the same. He felt that there was still a huge gap between Katherine and him.
Katherine walked in front of Marshall with her lips compressed, but after some time, she finally gave a smile.
The group of people arrived at the restaurant. Kyle, the careless one, chose to sit next to Katherine, and didn’t notice Marshall’s sullen face at all. On the other side of Katherine sat Ralph, who could tell that Marshall was in a sulk, but he simply ignored it and kept calling Katherine "girl".
Katherine, however, didn’t pay attention to Marshall at all. She was waiting for the waitress to serve the food because she was indeed very hungry.
They ordered a lot of food because there were many of them. The waitress served the dishes and Katherine swallowed. "I’m eating now. I can’t help it."
Ralph chuckled. "Go ahead. It’s not like we don’t know each other. Don’t worry."
Katherine smiled before she started to eat, but paused after taking a few bites. Actually, she really wanted to fight back the nausea, but she couldn’t hold it back this time, no matter how hard she tried.
She dropped the chopsticks and it was already too late for her to go to the toilet, so she rushed out of the restaurant, squatted down and started to retch by the road, but nothing came out of her stomach as usual, and she almost collapsed.
Marshall rushed out of the restaurant right behind Katherine, crouched down next to her and patted her gently on the back. "Do you have an upset stomach? Or food poisoning?" But Katherine had hardly eaten during the journey these days, and probably, something went wrong with her stomach again.
Katherine panted before replying, "I might have a relapse. I’ve been eating irregularly lately."
Marshall breathed a sigh and helped Katherine up. "Get in and drink some hot water. Take some meds after the meal when you get home later."
