CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 470

Katherine made a call to Ralph in the afternoon.

Actually, she didn’t talk much for solace. She only suggested that he should come for a talk when he was free.

Ralph’s voice sounded listless as he answered the call. He claimed to be comforted a bit for Katherine finally took some time to talk to him.

And he said he would come for dinner tonight since he had time today.

Katherine smiled, “Alright, what’s your favorite dish in your mind? I can get prepared beforehand.”

Ralph replied with a smile. But it still sounded dispirited, “I am okay with whatever you offer. I don’t have picky appetite.”

Katherine could tell from his voice that he was still in a down mood.

She decided to leave the talk of comfort till the dinner time. So she hung up after saying that she would be expecting him at home.

Katherine wandered inside the house as she had to keep herself housebound.

Then she walked to the yard while touching her own belly.

Every time she woke up in the morning, she had always been bothered by the same problem—what should she do to kill time today? She had been wondering how long it would take till the end of such boredom arrived while touching her own belly.

She felt both bored and tired for this monotony.

After standing for a while, she returned to the parlor.

Frances happened to stand at the door, smiling at her, “What’s the matter? Do you feel…”

Before she could utter the word of ‘bored’, she saw a man with a helmet on his head slowly approaching on a motorcycle from the gate.

Hardly could she see his face clearly because of the helmet. And that man was carrying something in his hand.

As that man approached closer, he turned to look at Katherine, who was still in the yard.

Frances suddenly had a bad feeling. She hurried to rush over towards Katherine.

Katherine didn’t even notice with her back to the gate.

Even Frances herself couldn’t figure out how she rushed over instantly and turned around to shield Katherine with her own body.

As she stopped at the back of Katherine, she saw from the corner of her eyes that that man smashed something towards Katherine.

She didn’t even have time to predict the consequence. She literally intercepted the attack with her own body.

Then she felt the back of her waist being hit by something sharp.

Though it didn’t hurt much, it would still bring up a horrible consequence if it smashed onto Katherine. Especially when she got a pregnant belly.

Katherine was startled by Frances’s sudden move. Before she could turn around to check, she heard the motorcycle’s engine bellowing and then that man fled away.

Katherine hurried to turn around, “What happened?”

Frances held against her own waist with one hand and rested the other on Katherine’s shoulder, “Get me in. I was smashed on the back of my waist.”

Katherine looked down and saw a brick in half on the ground, which must be intentionally sharpened as there were pointy edges around.

Katherine supported her into the parlor and lifted her top.

There was a red and swollen spot on the back of her waist, where there appeared some blood streaks.

As her top was made of thin cloth, the brick hurt her a bit.

Katherine frowned, “What was happening? Someone breaking in at the gate?”

Frances let out a breath of pain. Darcie hurried to bring some liquid medicine to disinfect her wound.

“Yes, there was a man on the motorcycle to attack you.” Said Frances.

Katherine was stunned, “But Marshall has hired some guards around the house. How could that happen?”

Katherine just smiled, “They are just guards. Not prophets. They can’t tell beforehand. I am okay. Thank god, nothing worse happens.”

She took a look at Katherine’s belly, “Luckily, it didn’t hit your belly…”

As she spoke, both Katherine and Darcie remained silent.

After thinking for seconds, Katherine took out her phone to call Marshall. But before she could dial his number, she got a call from him.
