CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 424

Marshall tossed himself on the bed for a few times and fell asleep. It seemed that he didn't notice what Katherine said.

Never mind. She went to the bathroom to wet the towel and wiped Marshall's face and hands, and then took off his coat. Marshall was drunk yet obedient. Katherine tucked him in and went to his room instead. Although she was still not used to Marshall’s bed, she was exhausted, and fell asleep shortly.

Just before dawn, she was awakened by the sound of Marshall opening the door. Katherine knew what he wanted without even asking, she turned her back to him and murmured, "So annoying."

Marshall smiled and hugged her from behind, "I can't sleep without you by my side."

Katherine was too lazy to pay attention to him, so she went back to sleep. She slept like a child and when she woke up, Marshall had already left. She washed herself and then came out of the room, and then she heard Frances’s voice from downstairs, "Yes, put it here, otherwise she may slip, and also there, right, and the one on the left..."

Katherine looked down from the staircase and saw Frances. There were other people with her, who seemed to be laying carpets in the living room. The kitchen was also covered with non-slip mats.

Frances stood with her arms akimbo, just like when she used to manage the household in the Grant. Katherine just leaned on the armrest and watched, but didn't go downstairs.

The worker came in carrying a large piece of carpet, and carefully put it on the ground and removed the yoga mats. The hanging chair placed in the living room was also moved away, emptying a lot of room.

Katherine knew that Frances was afraid that she would trip over herself with the furniture in the way. Frances was really thoughtful. It's just that Katherine felt awkward seeing Frances meddling with her matters.

Frances ordered the workers to move the furniture around and when she looked up, she saw Katherine. She waved to her with enthusiasm, "Come downstairs."

Katherine went downstairs. There was a servant in the kitchen apart from the workers. Katherine was surprised, and Frances said, "Darcie, come here, this is Kathy."

The servant was about in her fifties and looked honest. She hurried over, "Hello, Miss Jordan."

Katherine blinked and said nothing. Frances flaunted, “She was from the Mason and was a fabulous cook. When I was pregnant, I can't have anything except the food she cooks, so I ask her to take care of you. You should nourish your stomach and have meals which were to your liking."

Katherine looked at Frances, "What is the difference between you arranging all these and telling Marshall directly that I am pregnant?"

Frances pursed her lips and thought for a while, "Katherine, I think pregnancy is not something that can be concealed. It has nothing to do with me telling him or not. You don't even have to wait for the baby to grow bigger. He will definitely suspect you for your such strong pregnancy reaction. It is not a long-term solution to always use stomach problems as an excuse."
