Marshall’s minions didn’t know this woman’s exact identity yet as they only got a short time and was able to get some basic information of her.
They also said that this was this woman’s second marriage and she married into this city from other provinces. She didn’t have any family members and was here alone, so if Marshall was not in a hurry, they would dig her previous life before this marriage.
Marshall really didn’t want to know that much and just said, “These information is enough.”
He then told his minions to come back and stop investigating her.
Then he hung up the phone.
He then examined the picture which was clearly taken in discreet.
She was buying groceries in the photo and dressed quite casually.
Marshall even zoomed in the picture and thought that this woman actually didn’t look like Katherine.
No one can tell that they were biologically related just by comparing the pictures.
Marshall thought for a minute and then deleted the picture and remained motionless for a long time.
Katherine finished the lunch quickly and went out the dining room.
Standing in the living room, she surveyed Marshall who clearly was off the phone but was stilling standing there and seemed like to be musing something.
Katherine pondered for a minute and approached him, “What are you doing here? Aren’t you going to have lunch?”
Marshall turned around and hugged Katherine into his chest, “How come that you finished the lunch so fast?”
Katherine broke away from his hug and said, “Is that so? Well, you took such a long time to have that call.”
Then she paused a bit and continued, “Who were you talking to? You didn’t look all right.”
Marshall grinned, “Really? Well, nothing important really happened. I’m quite good.”
Katherine frowned and gazed at Marshall seriously, “You don’t look merry.”
Marshall giggled and pinched at Katherine’s face, “No, I’m beyond happy when I’m with you.”
Then he quickly added, “Don’t go out these days. If you need anything, I will ask someone to deliver for you. I was followed when I came home earlier. They didn’t do anything crazy, but I’m just not sure what were they up to.”
Katherine paused and stared at Marshall, “You were followed? What the hell do they want to do in the middle of the day!”
Marshall let out a long breath, “I’m not sure whether they are after me or you. So we got to be cautious. Just stay at home recently and just let me whatever you need.”
Katherine stroked her belly and nodded.
She can be willful before, but now, she wouldn’t do anything unsafe to endanger her baby.
She was a mother now.
Marshall then held Katherine, “Let’s go. I’m hungry.”
Then the pair entered the dining room.
Frances looked out of spirits and just said to the that she was full and wanted to take a nap.
Then she went upstairs.
After Frances left, Katherine said to Marshall, “Frances doesn’t look all right today. She seemed tried all day.”
Marshall looked at the direction of the staircase and replied, “Well, I got to let my father know this. I really don’t know if they want to get back together or just decide to move on.”
Katherine sighed, “Well, I don’t know what your father is thinking about, but I’m sure that your mother still has feelings for your father. As their son, you got to do something for them.”
Marshall then slowly drooped his eyes and gazed at Katherine’s belly.
To some extent, this baby in Katherine’s belly was doing exact the same thing as he was portraying.
