CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 459

Katherine and Frances stood at the shop front for a while before they went in.

Margaret thought another customer came and said, "Welcome!"

Katherine beamed a smile at her, "Hey girl, seems that business is good."

Margaret paused and looked up at Katherine. "Wow, you’re here, Katherine!"

Eden, meanwhile, nodded at Katherine as he was packing up the pastries.

Katherine glanced at Eden and asked Margaret in a whisper, "So, you two are taking care of the shop as a couple now?"

Margaret was a little shy. "He resigned some time ago. His family wants him to run his own business, so he comes to help me when he’s free."

Katherine nodded and sat down with Frances.

Margaret asked Eden to serve the customers before she came to Katherine’s side. "How are you doing? How are you dealing with the pregnancy reaction?"

Katherine gave a nod. "I’m good. Everything’s going well."

She threw another look at Eden, finding him doing a great job serving the customers and packing up goods.

Margaret followed her glance and whispered, "We’ve met each other’s parents and are discussing the date of wedding. If nothing else, we’ll get married very soon."

Katherine was a little surprised to hear that. "Really? You two are fast."

Margaret scratched her head with embarrassment. "We hit if off straight away, and we’re very well suited. Then we go with the flow and voila, here we are. Everything just comes together naturally."

Katherine nodded. "Sure! I never expected you to get married so soon. I’ll give you a big bonus on your wedding day."

Margaret grinned.

Frances looked around the shop and asked, "How’s business going?"

Margaret replied immediately, "Business is booming. The other day, Mr. Havorford ordered a lot of desserts, and we were so busy with that order. Luckily, Eden lent me a hand. He learned fast, and he was a great help."

Frances said, "That’s great. We’re lucky to have you two look after the shop." Then she cast a glance at Katherine’s underbelly. "Katherine is getting closer to the due date. After she gives birth to the baby, she needs to take care of it, and she won’t have much time to look after the shop. If possible, we hope you two can take care of the shop."

Katherine nodded approval. "That would work. Since you two are looking after the shop, you’ll get the bulk of the money."

Margaret felt a little sorry upon hearing that because originally, she took over the store and ran it poorly. It was because of Katherine that business got better. Besides, Kyle and Marshall ordered from them simply for the sake of Katherine. Otherwise, their turnover wouldn’t have increased so spectacularly. Therefore, she felt guilty getting the larger share of profits.

Katherine smiled, "Look, I do nothing but I get the money, and I should be the one feeling guilty. Don’t worry. If you think it’s a good deal, let’s shake on it."

Margaret looked back at Eden and said, "I need to talk it over with him. I wonder if he would join me."

Katherine nodded. "OK, but anyway, let’s talk about it after you two get married. When you become a family, you’re of a mind."

Margaret agreed and asked Katherine how it had gone.

Katherine didn’t tell her much, but only said she was fine. What had happened between Clara and her was not important enough to be told to anyone.

Meanwhile, Frances simply sat aside and listened to them, chiming in from time to time. Sometimes, her gaze would fall upon Margaret, and then move away slowly.
