Katherine ate late in the morning and wasn't hungry yet. She put down the folks after a few bites.
Frances watched her with concerns and said, "What's the matter? Do you like the food? Shall we order something else?"
Katherine wiped his mouth and replied, "No, I'm not that hungry. That's all I need. I don't need to eat that much."
Frances waited and said, "It's OK. I'll go home soon and let Darcie get some soup for you. She's so good at it. The one I brought you last time was her work."
Katherine still remembered how good that was.
She nodded and agreed, "OK, she's a great cook."
Frances and Margaret also put the food down after a few bites. Then they sat aside and watched the guys eating.
Katherine sat there for a while and suddenly felt nauseous.
It might be something she just ate. She felt as if there was a storm in her stomach, which kept bringing everything up to her throat.
She paused for a second and stood up. "Hang on a second. I need some fresh air."
Frances knew what she wanted as soon as she heard that. She also stood up and said, "I'll go with you."
Margaret thought for a while and followed them, too. "I need to get some fresh air, too. Let the guys drink."
They walked out of the room, and Katherine ran directly to the restaurant's gate.
She stood by and took a deep breath. Finally, she could no longer hold it back. She bent over and retched.
Frances patted her back and said in a low voice, "The first trimester is always the most troublesome. The second trimester should be better. You'll be able to eat and sleep well.
Margaret wanted to help Katherine catch a breath, but she was taken aback as soon as she heard Frances's words. She asked, "Katherine, are you pregnant?"
Katherine didn't answer. Frances did it for her, "Yes, one month till now. It's said to be the hardest time."
Margaret stopped walking towards Katherine. After a pause, she laughed, "Really? That's good news! I was wondering why Mr. Grant looked different today. He looked very happy."
Frances pat Katherine's back gently and said, "Yes, this is a turning point for Marshall."
Katherine found herself tearing up because of vomiting. She stood up and took a deep breath. "I've never expected it to be so hard."
Frances tweeted and said, "I can't imagine what you had to put up with on your way home early on."
Katherine forced a smile and said, "It was fine. I felt much easier at that time than now."
Margaret stared at Katherine's pale face for a while. Then she chuckled, "How nice! You're a mom now! That's great!"
It had taken quite a while for Marshall to finish the meal with them. Katherine had waited for so long that she was sleepy.
Frances looked at Katherine and felt a bit concerned about her. Therefore, she told Marshall that she was leaving with Katherine first.
Now that Frances and Katherine were leaving, Magaret decided to stay no longer, either.
She looked at Eden. It seemed that he was getting along well with other people, and they were having fun.
Margaret didn't want to spoil their fun, so she left Eden here and told him she was going to the shop.
Eden was bolder than usual, probably because he was tipsy. For the first time, he held Margret's hand in front of so many people.
He smiled and said, "Drive safely. I'll get to you later.."
Margaret looked at Eden, and then her eyes shifted to Marshall unconsciously.
Marshall didn't look back at her. He was talking to Ralph. He had drunk a lot, but he still looked clear and sober.
Margaret took her eyes back and smiled at Eden. "OK, see you."
She walked out of the gate and found that Katherine and Frances were waiting. She smiled and held Katherine's arms. Then she said, "Let's go. Watch your step."
Katherine and Furnaces sent Margaret to the shop and then went back home.
When Margaret got out of the car, she looked back at Katherine and said in a low voice, "Go back and get recovered. Don't worry. We can take care of the business of the shop."
Katherine looked at Margaret and said gently, "I have never had any doubts about you. We're on the same side."
