CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 416

Katherine stared at Marshall for a while and then gripped at his hand slightly, “You are always a great man. There is no doubt in that. I’m the one who has problems.”

Marshall let out a breath, “Why am I feeling like that you are just giving me the runaround?”

Katherine smiled weakly.

Well, actually, she was saying with all sincerity.

Marshall can’t be blamed solely for what happened between them. She had problems, too.

It often took two to fail a relationship.

Katherine then answered, “Spare me some time. I’m really tired. There are too many things that I can’t get straight at this point. Don’t force me on it.”

Hearing Katherine’s words, Marshall felt a bit more relieved.

Well, it was much better than her direct rejection.

Marshall then nodded, “Okay, I won’t force you. Get some rest. I’ll get the meal ready.”

Katherine then closed her eyes.

Marshall tucked her in and left the room.

Kyle was sitting in the living room and immediately raised his eyebrows upon seeing Marshall, “What happened? Auntie Frances looked a bit serious when she left. Did they have a fight?”

Marshall pondered for a while, “I don’t think so. Katherine looked fine to me.”

Katherine was always easily irritated by others. She wouldn’t be so approachable if they really got into a fight.

She didn’t look that furious and was pretty calm.

Bewildered, Kyle hesitated for a bit and then entered the kitchen with Marshall.

Katherine was deep asleep when the meal was ready.

Marshall went upstairs to check on her and couldn’t bring himself to wake her up, so he decided to have the meal with Kyle first and heat the food for Katherine later.

Kyle’s mood was completely spoiled now. He meant to join the fun here, but now, he was left with Marshall.

Kyle heaved a sigh and asked, “Did you find out why Margaret was kidnapped before?”

Marshall looked up and gazed at Kyle for a while.

Something suddenly occurred to him.

Confused, Kyle asked, “What’s wrong? What are you staring me for?”

Marshall licked at his back teeth and grinned, “Well, I want to talk with you about something. You can actually help me on this one.”

Kyle raised his eyebrows, “Just tell me what do you want.”

Katherine slept straight into the night.

Marshall was sitting on the bed with the light on when she woke up.

Sensing that she was up, Marshall hurriedly asked, “Are you hungry? The food hasn’t cooled down. How about I bring them upstairs?”

Marshall sat up and slowly recovered, “Sure.”

While Marshall came downstairs to get the meal, Katherine went to freshen herself up.

Standing in front of the sink, Katherine looked into the mirror and scanned herself.

She looked worn out which Katherine hated to see even herself.

Katherine took a few deep breaths and figured that she had to make a difference.

Every woman has to go through 10 months of pregnancy. She should cheer up. Katherine then changed into a dress and combed her hair which made her look a bit more energetic.

Katherine saw Marshall with the food when she went out of the room, so she just said, “I want to eat it downstairs. I want to walk around after lying on the bed all day.”

Marshall paused and then nodded, “Okay, let’s go to the dining room.”
