CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 469

Lying on the bed, Katherine still stayed awake.

Annoyance still haunted her. She tried to sleep but she failed, feeling sober but bored

Lying on the bed for a while, she heard a phone buzz a bit.

She reached over to grab her phone with her eyes closed. She took a look at it and saw a text.

It was sent by that woman, who threatened that she would spare Katherine no chance to regret by easily destroying everything she had at this moment.

Seeing that, Katherine wore a mocking smile. Destroy everything she had? Money might be probably the only thing she had right now.

What was more, she had kept all her deposit. How was that woman gonna take it away from her?

Katherine simply deleted the text and blacklisted the number.

She lay down with her hands resting on her belly.

Though she still kept the baby, she actually barely developed a kind of bond for her own baby.

But meanwhile, hardly could she imagine what if she left her own baby to someone else and then simply walked away without even paying a visit for two decades—just as what she had once experienced.

She would never do that. Nor could she be cold enough to do so.

She closed her eyes again, feeling a bit ache in her head.

After a while, Marshall came in to tell her it was time for dinner.

He walked over to support her up. Then he hugged her from behind, “Don’t worry. I will always be with you no matter what happens.”

Katherine didn’t struggle out this time. She leaned into his arms and said with soft voice, “When I was young, I was afraid my grandpa would pass away when he got older. But he still had gone. Then I was afraid of the divorce. And it still happened. Marshall, from then on, I have nothing to be afraid of.”

Hearing that, Marshall was rendered a bit guilty. He tightened his hug, “Sorry, but from now on, I swear I will be with you forever.”

Though it sounded like a great solace, Katherine still doubted it.

Because she knew she still faced the risk of being disappointed if she confided too much in him.

Katherine went to wash her own face. Then she followed him downstairs.

The dining room was bustling. The two old ladies were friendly beckoning them over for dinner as if they were home.

Darcie also served nice dishes. So both the two old ladies were pleased.

As soon as Katherine and Marshall reached the dining room, Granny Walters hurried to beckon them to take a seat.

She stared at Katherine with caring eyes. She asked what was her favorite dish and pushed whatever she answered to her front.

Katherine let out a smile from the bottom of her heart, “Granny Walters, it’s okay. I can make Marshall fill my plate with what I want for me.”

Granny Walters nodded after some consideration, “You’re right. You gotta try all means to domesticate your man.”

Marshall smiled, “Granny Walters, there is no need to be so mean to me, right?”

“Yes, I think I have the need to do that just to revenge Kathy because of what you’ve done to her before! I know everything about that!” while saying firmly, Granny Walters stared at him with her eyes wide open.

Marshall took Katherine’s hands to hold them tight. He said seriously, “I used to be such a fool. I wronged her and made her suffer so much. I promise it won’t happen again from now on! And everyone here should be the witnesses of my words!”

Frances teased, “But we prefer to witness your real action. Come on, time for dinner. Just cut it. You are wasting our time for meal.”

Everyone around the table burst into laughter. The atmosphere was soon lit up with joy.

Grandma Grant took a few looks at Frances during the meal.

Frances didn’t talk much. She focused on her food with her head down. But she had been tending Katherine’s need at the same time. She looked much more well-mannered.
