After saying that, she looked at Katherine, “But I have no idea what was in your mind either!”
Katherine leaned against the doorframe, looking casual, “You will find out when it’s time.”
Frances smoothed her top and tied her hair, “I have no idea about the tricks you are planning for. But you need to be aware that now you are pregnant. Take care and think twice before you make any move. Do you read me?”
Katherine nodded, “Alright, I know.”
Katherine took a look at the shopping bags placed on the bed. She walked over to lifted them up, “You really have a craze for shopping, huh? I still remember how much you have bought when we went shopping last time.”
Frances simply glanced at those bags, “They were all on Clara. She paid the money. She was incredibly hospitable today. Much more cordial than ever.”
Katherine smiled, “Isn’t that good? You were once nice to her and now she reciprocates.”
Frances replied, “But now she reciprocates because she is up for something. I don’t think I should be happy about that.”
Katherine responded with silence this time.
Marshall then walked upstairs and saw them talking in the room.
He walked over, “What are you talking about? Something secret?”
Frances was rendered startled a bit, “We are talking about her prenatal check a few days later. What else do you expect us to talk about?”
Hearing that, Marshall turned to be active about it. He hurried to look at Katherine and said, “Let me go with you. What do we have for the check?”
Katherine didn’t respond until staring at him for a while, “It’s okay if you want to. After all, I can’t just always keep you excluded. This time I will do a blood test and then a B-scan ultrasonography.”
Marshall smiled and touched her face with a sweet smile, “When?”
Katherine thought for a while and said, “In a few days, I will let you know beforehand.”
Marshall said alright and that was it.
He also talked about that sneaky camera worker they caught in the morning. He had got the video record in which there showed the man who paid for him. But that man fully covered himself. It was hard to see his face clearly.
But it wasn’t a problem for Marshall. He got the video records from the cameras nearby. So he could approximately locate where that man was.
Then he made Peter work on it.
But Katherine didn’t seem to care much about it. After hearing for a while, she stretched herself, “Just keep on talking. I am a bit tired. I gotta go back for a rest.”
Actually, she felt like being lazy.
Frances nodded, “Okay, get some rest.”
Marshall took a look at her. When she walked out of Frances’s room, he also followed over.
Both of them returned to the bedroom.
Katherine was about to lie down on the bed. But Marshall, who followed in a few seconds later, suddenly grabbed her arm, “Wait a second.”
Katherine was stunned. She turned around to look at him, “What’s wrong?”
After some consideration, he walked back to lock the door. Then he walked over and stood in front of her with his lips pressed, looking a bit nervous.
Katherine was rendered confused while staring at him.
He took a deep breath and suddenly got down on one knee. Then he took out a jewelry box.
Katherine couldn’t help stepping backward out of instinct. She was startled by his move.
Marshall raised his head to look at her and opened the box while facing her.
Actually, Katherine could tell what it was even without taking a look.
Marshall continued with his soft voice, “That’s what I have owed you. Now I want to make up for it even though I can tell you might not give a fig for it.”
The diamond ring in the box was dazzling.
