CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 423

Katherine slowly got off the bed without thinking. Maybe she was still dizzy so she staggered. Marshall rushed over in an astonishing speed and quickly helped her, "Watch out."

Katherine was amazed by his movements, and she smiled, "You have reacted quickly."

Marshall just nodded, looking at her with worry, "Are you going to the bathroom?"

Katherine nodded, "Yeah, to wash up."

Marshall helped her to the bathroom and kept an eye out for her. When Katherine turned her head, seeing Marshall staring at her, she was shocked, "What's wrong?"

Marshall pursed his lips, and said after a long while, "Nothing."

He came over to help Katherine out of the bathroom and to the bed. Then he asked, "Are you hungry? I'll get you something."

Katherine nodded and said thank you. Marshall said nothing and went downstairs. Katherine frowned staring at Marshall's back, she could tell that there was something wrong with him. He would definitely reply “Never mind” if she said thank you at other times. But he acted like he has heard nothing just now.

Kyle had already left. Marshall brought the food and put them on the bedside table. Then he sat aside and said nothing. Katherine took a few bites, secretly glancing at Marshall, feeling unsettled. He stared at her seriously when she ate, which was a bit creepy. Katherine thought that could it be that Frances had told Marshall? But she changed her mind. If Frances really said something and Marshall knew about her pregnancy, he would not be like this.

Katherine held back her uncertainty in her mind and finished the dinner, Marshall came over and cleared the table. Then he looked at her, "Would you like to go for a walk in the community? You have slept for a long time, so it's time to get up and do some exercise."

It was already dark outside, but Katherine had a pain in the back for lying on the bed for too long. It should be safe in the community so she agreed. Marshall helped her downstairs, and they walked along the road next to the house. He said nothing, and there was a strained atmosphere between them.

Katherine couldn't bear the silence, "Marshall, I will be alright alone at night. I just need to lock the doors and windows. You don't need to..."

She said this to drive him away. Marshall looked at her and said, "Katherine, are you hiding something from me?"

Katherine was shocked by his words and her heart was beating fast. She turned to look at him, "Hiding something? What can I hide from you? I didn't. How could I? It’s not possible."

She was incoherent when she was anxious. Marshall reached out and held her hand, "Well, it's the best if you hide nothing from me."

Katherine licked her lips, feeling troubled. She did not believe that Marshall had no clue. What he just said was obviously a hint to her. Neither of them spoke for the rest of the walk.

Seeing that it was about time, Marshall helped Katherine home, she went to wash her face and went to bed. Marshall stood at the door looking at her until she closed her eyes, then he turned off the light and closed the door. When he left, Katherine opened her eyes. There was something wrong with Marshall. It was so obvious that she could not ignore it.
