Katherine showed great interest. Undoubtedly, if she got displeased by the answer, she would be likely to cause Khalid a trouble.
Seeing that, Marshall was rendered speechless.
He looked at her, “Come on, don’t be agitated. Sit down over here.”
Katherine slowly walked over to sit on the bedside.
Then Marshall added, “Dad could tell Kathy loves to stay with you. Once Kathy moves in, he worries if Kathy would feel uneasy because of the awkward attitude between her and the other members of the Grants. So he suggested you should move in with her. Besides, he would claim that it was he himself who asked for your move-in so that you wouldn’t be embarrassed. But I suppose he still find it awkward to confess that in front of you. So he made me here to tell you about it and also ask for your opinion.”
Katherine smiled and answered on behalf of Frances, “Alright, alright, that’s it. I am sure she would agree.”
Then she looked at Frances, “Am I right about that? You will move in with me, right?”
With her lips pressed, Frances tried hard to hold back her excitement. She then nodded, “Alright…”
Actually, everyone here could tell she still had feelings for Khalid. So her move-in this time would be an opportunity to rekindle their relationship.
Since then, both Marshall and Katherine returned back to their room.
As soon as they entered, Marshall hugged her tight, “I can’t wait!”
Of course Katherine could tell what he was referring to. She slapped onto his hands wrapping around her waist, “Get off me.”
Her voice sounded too soft to stop him.
Marshall didn’t let go. He still hugged her tight, “Katherine, I know you still have feelings for me, right?”
Katherine let out her breath, “Feelings don’t mean everything. Marshall, you should be mature enough to get this point. I am not longer young and innocent. My decision no more depends on feelings only. Instead, my decision depends on which suits me the best.”
Hearing that, Marshall was rendered dispirited.
Katherine broke free from his hug and brought up another topic, “Which date does your dad want us to move in? Actually, I don’t wanna move in. But I would like to compromise to spare a chance for both Frances and your dad.”
Marshall added after thinking for seconds, “The sooner, the better. I will get busy during these days. So I still worry if both you and mom stayed here. Once you move in, you would be taken good care of. If so, I would be relieved.”
For Katherine, when to move in didn’t matter much for her, “Alright, I will leave it to you to decide the date.”
Hearing that, Marshall could tell it had been settled.
A casual night had passed. Marshall went to work the next morning. After breakfast, Katherine saw some people coming in.
They claimed that they were here to pick up Katherine and Frances to the Grant Residence.
Khalid’s quick decision really surprised her.
As there had been equipped with all kinds of necessities, they didn’t need to spend much time packing up luggage. So Katherine, Frances and Darcie simply got on the car and left.
As Khalid had already noticed the Grants, Grandma Grant had been expecting them at the gate. She grinned delightedly when seeing Katherine.
Frances was the first to get off. Then she supported Katherine to get off the car.
Grandma Grant looked at Frances, “I heard you got hurt.”
Frances smiled, “I am fine. Nothing serious.”
Grandma Grant sighed, “I will call the family doctors here to have a check for you. It would be better to have a thorough check no matter if you feel fine.”
Frances nodded.
Grandma Grant smiled again when looking at Katherine, “Come on, let’s get inside. I have been expecting you.”
Grandma Grant took them to the main residence villa, saying that she had spared Marshall’s room for Katherine to settle in.
As for Frances, Grandma Grant thought for a while and decided to settle her in the room of Khalid as before.
Frances frowned, “I think it would be better to fit me in another room.”
Grandma Grant was quite surprised when hearing that.
