Katherine giggled, “Of course I’m a good girl.”
Marshall was talking to Eden and when he heard about Katherine’s words, he turned to Katherine and beamed, “I didn’t notice how confident you are before.”
She would flinch every time she talked to Frances before.
This vibe of confidence seemed to have surfaced after the divorce.
Katherine then turned to Frances, “Well, I just didn’t bother to have arguments before. I’m quite big-hearted and didn’t mind let a single petty person having the upper hand.”
Frances hissed and glared at Katherine, “You are referring to me, aren’t you?”
Katherine raised her eyebrows and didn’t deny the idea.
Frances scanned her up and down and ended up saying nothing.
Well, she really didn’t want to fight anything for the baby’s sake.
They then take Eden and Margaret to lunch and just shut the store temporarily.
The boy who was in the floor business was coming out of the door when they went out.
Seeing that they were all going out, the boy hurried over, “Katherine. Why are you shutting the door? I haven’t seen you for a long time.”
Marshall remembered this boy who came over and asked for Katherine’s phone number.
He deliberately gave him his number and had got lots of texts from him saying good morning, good evening and good night.
He even texted Katherine regularly during the time that Katherine went back to the village,
Marshall was even surprised at how persistent can this man be. He had never texted back, but this man just kept on texting.
Marshall came over and wrapped his arm around Katherine’s shoulder, “We’re going to have lunch. What do you want?”
The boy froze when he saw Marshall’s movements and stared at Marshall’s hand for a long time.
Katherine knew what Marshall’s was up to, otherwise, she would long fling Marshall’s hand away.
She really didn’t want to give any hope to this boy and genuinely wished he could learn the truth as soon as possible.
So Katherine even leaned closed towards Marshall and repeated Marshall’s question, “What happened? Do you need anything?”
The boy looked at Katherine and his eyes dimmed, “You, you...”
Standing aside, Frances really couldn’t figure out why would all these men like Katherine.
To be honest, she didn’t find any attractive aspects of Katherine till now.
As for Marshall’s obsession towards Katherine, she was in constant bewilderment,
She really wouldn’t believe that her son would be shallow enough to like Katherine just for her gorgeous face.
So she was quite confused when she noticed how many men had feelings for Katherine.
Margaret smiled in silence.
She then approached Frances and whispered, “This boy would come to the store and check on Katherine every day while she was away. He is really in love with her.”
Hearing Margaret’s words, Frances examined the boy.
He looked fresh out of the school and was quite naïve.
Did he even know what was love? Did he know how to shoulder his responsibilities and take care of his woman?
Frances sneered and suppressed her voice, “Well, his love is useless anyway. Katherine wouldn’t ever like him back.”
Margaret paused and though she knew Frances wasn’t talking about her, she couldn’t help glancing at Marshall who was hugging Katherine.
She had also loved someone who would never love her back and foolishly thought she had a shot.
She even thought about confessing her love to Marshall just like this boy, but the good thing was that she refrained the idea.
