CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 461

Absent-minded, Frances turned around and stared at Marshall.

Marshall grinned, “Don’t give me that look. Well, one got to be calculating once in a while.”

Otherwise, it could be difficult to get what one desired if he/she was frank and straightforward all the time.

Scheming was sometimes an inevitable move.

Frances let out a sigh, “Well, there is no way for me to argue with both with you.”

Then the pair both sat down on the sofa where Marshall seriously asked what happened with Mrs. Hendersons today.

Frances actually didn’t know that much as she only saw a few images today and nothing concrete.

After hearing Frances’ words, Marshall smiled, “Okay, got it. Don’t worry about this. If Katherine brings up this topic, you can just soothe her a bit and don’t go too specific with her. I don’t want her to be bothered by this incident.”

Frances nodded, “Sure.”

Darcie had fixed the dinner and already served all the dishes on the table.

Marshall went upstairs to get Katherine while Frances was helping to lay out all the utensils.

Then a car just pulled over in front of the door.

Frances stole a quick glance and just looked away.

Truth be told, she was quite merry.

Khalid went in and said himself, “Is the dinner ready? Well, what a perfect timing.”

Frances waited for a while and then went out, “Go wash your hand. We’re just about to eat.”

Katherine clearly didn’t sleep well and was still rubbing her eyes when she came downstairs and was surprised to see Khalid here, “Dad? What are you doing here?”

Khalid paused and chuckled in a few seconds, “I’m just passing by.”

Marshall raised the corner of his mouth when he heard Katherine’s greeting. She was really getting used to addressing Khalid dad.

Then the four all went to the dining room.

The atmosphere was quite joyful today as all the people were here.

Marshall and Khalid talked about some company matters and the subject just naturally changed to the baby inside of Katherine’s belly.

Khalid said that he got to run over the family tree and pick a name for the baby.

Katherine was a bit embarrassed to chime in and just kept silent.

Frances looked at Katherine and added, “Marshall and Katherine haven’t even got remarried yet. Katherine should be the one deciding the baby’s name. You two don’t get to pick the name.”

Khalid froze and continued after pondering for a while, “Katherine, now that the baby is on the way, aren’t you going to give Marshall a chance?”

He then glanced at Marshall and added, “Marshall is basically living in your house now.”

Marshall nodded, “Yeah, aren’t you really moved by my affectionate behaviors? I’m literally chasing you around all day.”

Katherine rolled her eyes at Marshall, “Well, you weren’t really touched by all my pestering before, were you?”

Marshall immediately went quiet.

Khalid took a peep at Frances and realized that he was really in no position to lecture Marshall and Katherine on their relationship.

He was also messed up in this love field.

Khalid’s phone started ringing in the middle of the dinner.

Khalid took out the phone and noticeably paused when he saw the caller ID.

He then examined Frances’ look.

Katherine noticed all of Khalid’s expressions and smiled, “Well, you’re already off work, how come that they are still calling you about company matters? How senseless!”

Khalid chortled and answered, “I’m going to take this call outside. Don’t mind me.”

He then went straight to the yard.

Katherine smiled and went on eating, “Miss Willis is surly keeping tab on all the movements of Mr. Grant.”

Frances froze and turned to Katherine.

Marshall was also shocked, “You’re saying that it was auntie Cora’s call?”
