Katherine was taken aback by Hector’s words, and she frowned unconsciously.
Hector said again, “You wait until my game is over. Then we talk about it slowly, okay?”
After a few seconds, Katherine laughed and said in a deliberately relaxed tone, “What do you want to say? You can say it now.”
Hector said with a sigh, “Kathy, you really don’t understand, or you’ve been avoiding it?”
As soon as Hector finished these words, Marshall who was in the kitchen called Katherine. He didn’t know where some of the seasonings were.
Marshall’s voice was a little louder, and Hector probably heard it too.
Katherine took the opportunity to say, “Well, I have something to do now. Let’s talk about it later. You work hard and try to get a good place.”
After Katherine finished speaking, she responded to the kitchen, and then hung up the phone.
Before Katherine reached the kitchen, Marshall had found them all.
He didn’t look at Katherine and asked while frying the vegetables, “Who were you talking to just now? Hector?”
He even knew this.
Katherine leaned against the door frame, “So you asked me to come over on purpose. It wasn’t because you couldn’t find seasonings?”
Marshall laughed, “Of course not, I really didn’t find them.”
Katherine scanned the worktop. All the seasonings were on it, so what he was looking for!
Katherine didn’t bother to ask, and after a while, she went to the dining room and waited.
Marshall removed the food from the pot and headed to the dining room, but he stopped as soon as he reached the door of the kitchen.
He looked outside and said with a flat voice, “Why are you here?”
Katherine heard it and hurried out of the dining room.
A person stood at the door of the living room, looking a little uncomfortable.
Katherine laughed, “Didn’t you go to my shop today? How did you end up here?”
Frances tried to control her facial expressions, “I’m looking for my son. If my son isn’t here, I won’t come over.”
Katherine curled her mouth and turned to look at Marshall.
Marshall asked, “Have you eaten yet?” Then he went into the dining room with his dish.
Frances raised her feet and came in, “I haven’t eaten yet. I was going to take you out to dinner.”
Seeing Marshall wearing an apron, Frances seemed to feel a little distressed, “Why are you cooking? You are unfit for it.”
Katherine didn’t care too much. She waited for Marshall to serve her a bowl of rice and then bowed her head to focus on eating.
Marshall also took the bowls and chopsticks for Frances, “You’re just in time. Let’s have dinner together. I cooked these dishes today. You can have a try.”
Frances strained her neck but did not refuse. She glanced at the food and said, “Since they’re all cooked by you, then I’ll have a try. I’m eating the food cooked by my son. I don’t profit at someone’s expense.”
Katherine couldn’t help but laugh, “Sit down and eat. You don’t have to explain that!”
Frances sat down, right across from Katherine.
Marshall was by Katherine’s side and put food in Katherine’s rice bowl, “You didn’t eat much before. Now you shall have more.”
Marshall’s craftsmanship was not good, but it was not particularly bad.
They could still eat if they were not picky on food.
After eating two bites of rice, Frances looked up at Katherine and Marshall, vaguely feeling as if she had gone back to the past.
In the past, they sat down to eat together, just like now.
She thought for a while and said to Marshall, “I heard that Cora has been discharged from the hospital.”
Cora was the woman that Khalid took care of some time ago.
Marshall said, “But she was injured in several places in the car accident. Even if she is discharged from the hospital, she still needs to recuperate for some time.”
Frances pursed her lips, “Then your dad must go and take care of her. Your dad is a good man.”
Marshall smiled and said, “Well, I don’t know about that, but Aunt Willis has found a babysitter. She doesn’t need my dad’s help.”
Frances pulled a long face and continued to eat.
