CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 422

The door of Katherine’s room was open so she could hear the faint sounds downstairs, which was neither quiet nor noisy. She heard Kyle saying something about the cooking order, followed by Frances’s rebuke, saying that Kyle and Marshall should be quiet for Katherine was resting upstairs.

Katherine was actually at a loss being aware that Frances has really been nice to her recently and she was afraid that Frances would be the first one to tell Marshall that she was pregnant.

She scratched her head and pondered what Marshall’s reaction would be if he knew she was pregnant. However, she could not picture it. On the one hand, she was afraid to face Marshall who knew the truth, on the other hand, she was curious about his reactions. She was caught in a dilemma.

She took out the medical record and stared at it for a long time until people downstairs said the meal was ready, she hid the record in a hurry. When she went down, it was obvious that Marshall was about to go upstairs and the three of them have already set the table. Marshall smiled seeing her, "Come on."

He still had the apron on, just like a family man, looking lively and natural. She pursed her lips and then smiled, "You look great on this."

Marshall laughed as soon as he heard her, "Really? Then I will cook for you whenever I have time."

Katherine did not say anything and went to the dining room with him. Frances had already sat down, staring at the dishes on the table, she complimented, "Marshall, I didn't expect your cooking skills to become so good after you got married."

Both Marshall and Katherine were astonished by what Frances said, because she probably regarded the two of them as family for the first time. Kyle could not tell the subtle difference in Frances’s words and was ready to glut himself with delicacies. Katherine sat down and took a deep breath, a sudden nausea hit her. She could not bear the scent of the dishes. She managed to suppress the nausea for quite a while, then she could not hold back any more and ran outside. Marshall was stunned and stood up subconsciously, but Frances had a head start and followed Katherine out.

Katherine was vomiting by the sink. After several pukes, her stomach was finally empty. Frances came over and patted her on the back with great patience and sighed, "Have patience, that’s it for everyone in this phase."

Marshall stared at the bathroom, musing with darkened expression. Katherine was already exhausted and Frances helped her to sit on the sofa. Frances looked at Marshall, who was standing there, and sighed, "Katherine probably has a stomach trouble. Don't worry about it."

Marshall fixed his eyes on Katherine’s pale face, "Stomach trouble?"

Frances nodded, "Yes, what else could it be?"

Marshall didn't say anything.

Katherine stood up after a while, she shook her hand in admonition, "I'll go upstairs and take a rest, I have no appetite now. I can take care of myself if I’m hungry."

Frances was still worried so she helped Katherine to go upstairs. Marshall followed a few steps and stopped at the stairs.

Frances helped Katherine to lay down, feeling sympathetic, she had gone through this phase so she knew how much Katherine suffered. However, she was in a better situation than Katherine, at least Khalid was always by her side, and whenever she was feeling unwell, she would vent her malaise on Khalid. Khalid was always at her service, so she was less frustrated than Katherine was now.

Katherine was different. She had to hide the fact that she was pregnant and took everything upon herself. One would be grieved even picturing her situation. Frances sat by the bed and cogitated, "I don't get it. You are going to have a baby, why can’t you tell Marshall and raise the baby with him?"
