After finishing dinner, Marshall held Katherine’s hand and went to stroll around, leaving Frances and Khalid at home.
Katherine glanced at the house when she went out and had the feeling that her house was about to be occupied.
Pinching at Katherine’s fingers, Marshall asked, “How come that you are wearing your ring?”
Katherine frowned, “Are you crazy? Why would I wear a hell big ring at home?”
Marshall didn’t feel weird at all, “Is it big? Well, I meant to make it bigger, but the designer that it may look odd.”
Katherine rolled her eyes at Marshall.
Marshall thought for a minute and continued the subject earlier, “You will meet Hector when he comes back, right?”
Katherine immediately looked serious and let out a long breath, “Yeah, of course we got to meet?”
How could they not meet? After all, they were pretty good friends before.
Marshall nodded, “I will go with you if you need to see him. I don’t want you to go out alone under the current situation.”
Katherine nodded and agreed what Marshall said.
While they were strolling around the neighborhood, Marshall’s phone started ringing.
One of his minions called and said he had looked into that Mario guy and found that this man was quite a swindler and had many criminal records, but now that he was working as sort of a middle man. In other words, he would mainly hire some people to do something shady for the employers and got some commission.
He was really good at hiding around and was currently residing in a temple halfway up a mountain.
Marshall sneered when he heard all the information, “Well, he is sure shrewd. Find an opportunity and catch him.”
Receiving Marshall’s order, the minion answered okay.
Marshall then just hung up the phone and tightened his grip on Katherine’s hand, “Let’s walk around the park.”
Lips pursed, Katherine wanted to ask if there was any update on the accident but then just dropped the thought as it was useless even if she asked.
She wouldn’t able to help even if she got all the details, so she might leave it to Marshall.
After Katherine and Marshall left, Frances and Khalid were at home alone.
Khalid asked Frances if she was feeling all right recently and it took the latter a few seconds to reply that she was okay.
She was exactly a good liar and can easily be figured out, so she tried hard not to show any traces.
After checking the time, she meant to tell Khalid to go home early as it was not safe to drive at night, but she failed to say all these words as she really wanted to patch things up with Khalid.
She was really being selfish before and was always complaining when she was with Khalid.
She was either bad mouthing Katherine or saying that other family members were having bad attitudes towards her.
Overall, she was criticizing everything around her.
Khalid would sometimes console her, but sometimes he would be really tired from work and would say nothing.
Now that she was recalling what they exactly did when they were alone, she could not recollect a single thing apart from all of her complaints.
After contemplating for a moment, Frances asked Khalid how was his work today.
She never cared about this sort of thing before. Now that she was taking interest in these sort of things, Khalid just told her.
There were a lot of troublesome matters at work, but Khalid didn’t utter all of them and picked a few simple ones.
Frances drooped her eyes and listened carefully, “I really didn’t know that you have to deal with all these complicated things before.”
