Marshall frowned and looked at Frances.
Since when did Frances become this?
Frances glared at him, “Dig in, all right? Take Katherine for a walk outside after dinner. Pregnant women can’t sit around all the time. They got to adopt some adequate exercises.”
Then she waved her hand like she didn’t want to see him.
Marshall let out a frustrating smile. Since when did these two women started formulating an united front?
They would bad-mouth and fight with each other every time they met before!
Katherine didn’t pay attention to him and focused on having the fruit.
After pondering for a while, Marshall went to the dining room.
When he just sat down, he heard Frances saying in the living room, “Do you have spare rooms here? It’s pretty late now, so it’s hard to get a cab at this time. Can I just stay overnight here?”
Holding the chopsticks, Marshall’s hand paused a bit and then he heard Katherine’s voice, “Sure. There are many spare rooms upstairs. You can tour around and see which one do you prefer and ask Darcie to clean up the room.”
Marshall waited for a while and then slowly raised the corner of his mouth.
After the dinner, Marshall went out and stood by the sofa.
Katherine had already finished the fruit and was watching TV with Frances.
They even watched the cartoons in high spirits.
Marshall sounded serious, “Let’s have a walk outside.”
Katherine nodded, slowly stood up and stole a glance of Marshall.
Frances also looked up and scanned Marshall.
Marshall drooped his eyes and just met Frances’ look mid-air, then they both looked away.
Marshall went into the yard with Katherine and then just stopped.
After gazing at Katherine for a while, he held her hand as there was no way for him to stay mad at her, “Watch your step. Be careful.”
Lips pursed, Katherine didn’t say anything.
They were both quite silent during the walk.
Katherine knew that Marshall was still upset that she hid the pregnancy from him.
To be honest, he got every right to be angry.
She would definitely act up if she was in his shoes.
So she didn’t say anything knowing that she was in the wrong on this matter.
After strolling around the neighborhood, Marshall went home with Katherine.
Frances had went to bed at this time, so Marshall and Katherine both went upstairs.
But Marshall went to Katherine’s bedroom a few seconds after they both returned to their respective bedrooms.
He seemed distressed, “My mom went to my room.”
Katherine paused and just stared at Marshall without saying anything.
Marshall scanned around and saw his pajama on Katherine’s bed.
“See? My pajama is even on your bed.” He was in dead earnest.
Katherine kept on gazing at him.
Face darkened, Marshall said, “Other rooms aren’t ready yet and it’s pretty late now.
Katherine frowned and finally asked, “And?”
Marshall still looked serious. He then grabbed his pajama and went directly into the bathroom, “And what? It’s quite late now and I’m going to have a shower and go to bed.”
Then he just went into the bathroom.
Katherine sat on the bed and closed her eyes.
Well, he was entitled to have a win today and she really didn’t want to debate with him.
Marshall took a long time in the bathroom and by the time he was done, Katherine had drifted off.
He went out in pajamas and gazed at Katherine standing against the bathroom door.
Katherine was leaning against the bed head still with a phone in her hand, but she was well into sleep.
Marshall heaved a sigh and lay Katherine down to make her more comfortable.
Katherine rolled over, but didn’t wake up.
