CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 427

Katherine was still sleeping soundly when Marshall went back.

She didn’t sense a thing.

Covered in coldness, Marshall sat by the bed for a while and couldn’t help rubbing his hands together and then stroked Katherine’s belly.

What a marvelous thing! There was a baby with him and Katherine’s features inside this belly.

This baby would slowly grow up as the days went by and when it was about time, this little fetus would come to this world and call him daddy.

The reproduction of human beings was truly a beautiful and amazing process.

Marshall waited for a while and then changed into pajamas.

But he had trouble of falling asleep when he lay down.

He had already asked one of his minions to investigate this Mario which he feared might be difficult to locate.

While lying on the bed, Marshall pondered a lot of things including his past with Katherine and their future.

But by the time he came to himself again, Katherine was wrapping around his body tightly.

Marshall tried hard not to touch her belly and dared not to move around.

Katherine hugged him tightly and then got herself a comfortable position to continue sleeping.

Marshall cracked a smile and then cuddled her back and closed his eyes.

Darcie was the first one to wake up and started cooking and Frances followed.

Actually, Marshall heard the noise but chose to go on sleeping as he didn’t get a good rest last night.

It was Saturday, so he didn’t have to go to work.

Frances didn’t go upstairs to disturb them either.

By the noon, Marshall really couldn’t bring himself to stay in bed any longer, so he nudged Katherine aside gently and got out of the bed.

Katherine was still deep asleep.

Marshall stood by the bathroom door and stared at her for a while.

It was true when they said that pregnant women would have more sleep and better appetite.

But this was actually a good thing since Katherine can take this opportunity to strengthen her body.

After freshening up, he went downstairs and found Frances in the yard with a cup of tea.

He went over and stood next to her, “Thank you for last night.”

Frances grinned, “Well, you got to step up your game. Katherine didn’t look like that she wanted to get remarried with you. You got a long way ahead.”

Marshall frowned, “We have a baby on the way. Why didn’t she want to get remarried?”

Frances giggled and looked at Marshall like he was an idiot, “Why would she take such a long time to break this news to you if she meant to get remarried with you for the baby? Let me tell you, my stupid boy. She never intended to let you know the existence of this baby. Get over yourself.”

Face darkened, Marshall replied, “You would never say these words to me before.”

Frances then went silent.

She was actually afraid to be reminded of what happened before and would get all awkward and edgy every time she thought about the past.

She admitted that she was truly unreasonable before, but she can’t be blamed for all the problems.

Lips pursed, Frances sipped the tea and said lowly, “I have trouble of falling asleep these days and would always wonder why would I get to this point? I had such a great life before. I really can’t figure this out.”

Back when she was at the Grants, though she was not admired by everyone, they all respected her.

Old Mrs. Grant was even tolerant in most cases, but she turned out to be the most determined one and just didn’t want her back.

Though Khalid was pretty hesitant all this time, she can tell that he was gradually losing his patience towards her.

When did they exactly started changing their attitudes towards her? Frances mused for a long time and somewhat felt like maybe it was when Katherine started living in the old mansion again.

Back at that time, Katherine stopped following her every orders and their contradiction just escalated.

Then Old Mrs. Grant would lecture her all the time.

Well, every time she thought about this, she would recall the kick that Katherine gave her.

How humiliating that she would be booted by her junior.
