CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 477

Frances had remained quiet. After she made a complaint about her lonely life, Old Mrs. Grant threw a glance at Frances and said, "The other day I went to the church and happened to see your mother."

Surprised, Frances didn’t expect Old Mrs. Grant to be talking to her. She thought for a moment and replied, "Well, my mom did tell me the other day that she had that plan. I wanted to go with her, but I failed to make time for the trip." Actually, she was worried about Katherine.

Old Mrs. Grant nodded. "You mother has always been worried about you. She doesn’t speak it out, but I can tell she cares a lot about you."

Frances simply grunted.

Old Mrs. Grant found a place to sit down while Katherine kept on walking about.

Old Mrs. Grant said to Frances, "Do you have any plan for the future?"

It was such a general question that Frances had no idea how to answer it, nor had she figured out Old Mrs. Grant asked so whether to make her give up on Khalid or just sound her out.

Frances pressed her lips together and replied, "I don’t know. I guess I’ll go with the flow. At this stage of my life, I just want to do whatever I like."

Old Mrs. Grant nodded. "Yeah, just do whatever you like." And then she said nothing. Frances couldn’t figure her out.

Katherine walked around the garden and came back to Old Mrs. Grant’s side. "Has Ms. Willis been talking to Mr. Grant a lot lately? She even came to my house the other day."

Old Mrs. Grant was shocked. "Cora went to your house?"

Frances looked away, saying nothing.

Katherine explained, "She said she came to have a chat with Ms. Mason. I have no idea what she wanted to say, but she ended up leaving with Mr. Grant anyway."

Old Mrs. Grant gave a meaningful smile. "Oh really."

Frances felt uneasy voicing her opinions on this subject and stayed silent.

Katherine leaned back in the chair and said, "It was my first time to see Ms. Willis. Honestly, she’s an elegant lady."

Old Mrs. Grant agreed with her. "She looked even prettier when she was young, and she had a good temper, so many people liked her."

Katherine got curious. "Then why did she get divorced? Her ex-husband must have loved her, but why would he divorce her?"

Old Mrs. Grant replied after some consideration, "I heard it from a friend of mine. Seems that she caught her ex-husband cheating on her with anther woman. That man did everything he could to make her stay, but she was decisive and divorced him immediately. They had a child, but the child was old enough that the divorce hardly had any impact upon him. After that, she’s been living alone."

Katherine nodded after a while. "She’s been through a lot."

"Exactly, " agreed Old Mrs. Grant.

Katherine cast a look at Frances, thinking that she might not want to continue this conversation, so she didn’t say what she was going to say.

Lydia drove back as the three of them were hanging out in the back garden. She might have known that Katherine and Frances would come today and wasn’t surprised to see them, coming over with a grin. "Hello Frances. You came."

Happy that Lydia showed respect for her by greeting her, Frances nodded. "You were out?"

Lydia came to them and took a seat. "I did some shopping."

Old Mrs. Grant threw a look at Lydia. "How’s Lucas been doing lately?"

Lydia breathed a sigh as Old Mrs. Grant brought Lucas up. She darted a glance at Katherine out of the corner of her eye and replied, "I just let it go. Forget it. I won’t force him to do anything if he doesn’t want to, or it’d be depressing all day long in the house. It’s not worth it."
