CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 443

Though Katherine fixed her eyes on somewhere else, she still answered, “I am fine. Thanks to Kyle, that guy didn’t even touch me.”

Marshall walked over to sit beside her. He held her hands and gently stroked them.

Then he asked Kyle with his face back on him, “You have caught that guy, right?”

Kyle nodded and glanced at their hands clinging to each other.

“I have locked him down. But I am not an expert of interrogation. You know he may end up being dead or disabled if you leave it to me. So I am afraid you have to handle it on your own.”

Marshall nodded, “Alright, I will come to your club to see that guy later.”

Darcie then started to cook when seeing them home.

Katherine felt like retching when smelling the cooking odors.

She stood up, “I wanna go back to my room.”

Frances could tell that she might be feeling sick. So she hurried to say, “Yeah, a rest is necessary after hours of shopping.”

Katherine only responded with silence. She walked slowly upstairs. Then she got herself changed and lay on the bed.

Soon, she was overwhelmed with sleepiness. But she still tried to stay awake to think about any possibility that Clara would conspire against her. While in the midst of reminiscence, slumber still defeat her soberness.

So Katherine had no idea about the conversation in the parlor.

While sleeping, she felt like being hugged. Then there came a voice, “Naughty girl…”

But Katherine didn’t catch it clearly. She closed her eyes to continue to sleep.

Marshall, lying on her side, smiled and gently patted on her shoulder as she returned to sound sleep.

After a while, Frances showed up.

But she didn’t enter. She just stood at the door and said, “I told you to bring her downstairs for dinner. What are you doing?”

Marshall smiled, “Wait…She is in deep sleep. I will bring her for dinner later.”

Frances looked a bit impatient, “Come on, just wake her up before the dishes cool down. Let her sleep after dinner.”

Marshall compromised with a smile, “Okay.”

Frances then left after standing for a while.

Marshall touched Katherine’s face to whisper, “Kathy, time for dinner.”

But she remained still.

With his eyes fixing on her, Marshall approached to kiss her.

It seemed to work much better than whispering. Just within a few seconds, Katherine opened her eyes and started to struggle roughly.

Marshall loosened his hug on her and smiled, “Okay, time to get up for dinner.”

Katherine frowned, “Marshall, watch your manner.”

Marshall didn’t seem to care. He pulled her up. Then he went into the bathroom to get a towel to wash her face.

Katherine just stayed still. As it was getting dark outside, the room was dim with lights off. She stared at him quietly. His soft move and expression made him much more appealing to her when compared with his coldness in the old days.

She couldn’t help wondering if he actually showed no feelings for her at that time.

At the thought of that, she seemed to be a bit upset and remained unspoken.

She got off the bed slowly when Marshall entered the bathroom to put away the towel.

As Marshall came out, he reached out his hand to hold hers. Then they got downstairs together. But Katherine didn’t struggle this time.

Marshall couldn’t help smiling.

Both Kyle and Frances were waiting while Frances was asking him about his family.

Actually, Kyle only knew little about his own family. Nor did he have any knowledge about his family business. And even the situation of those family members living in the Haverford Residence was none of his knowing.

After all, he hardly lived there. So he had nothing valuable to tell her.

While Marshall and Katherine were still walking down the stairs, he said, “The show arranged by Rosalie has achieved great success. I am sure we could make a lot of profit.”

Of course, it referred to the show for Hector.

Kyle exclaimed, “Yeah! No wonder Rosalie looks so happy these days. I bet his husband might also benefit a lot from it.”

But Katherine was now fully captured by those dishes on the table.

Undoubtedly, Darcie was an excellent cook. All those dishes looked perfect and smelt nice.
