CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 480

Lucas gave a smile. "Well, that’s great."

Marshall asked deliberately, "How’s your blind date going? Have you met anyone you like?"

Not embarrassed at all, Lucas shook his head naturally. "I don’t like blind dates, as you all know, so of course I haven’t met anyone I like."

At this moment, Lydia heaved a sigh. "Alright, alright, we know that, and we won’t force you anymore. From now on, you’re your own master, and we’ll leave you alone, OK?"

Lucas gave a faint smile. "You should have done that a long time ago."

Carson threw a look at Lucas, and then at Katherine. "Since you’re pregnant with Marshall’s baby, I guess you’ll get back with him soon, right? Look at you two! You’ve come back full circle."

Marshall gave a nod very slowly. "It’s close, I assume."

In fact, he had no confidence in himself at all. He had used to be a confident man, and still was now, in terms of business. But in terms of love life, his confidence had been eroded by Katherine, and he was especially unsure when Katherine would marry him again.

Katherine couldn’t just refuse Marshall in front of Lucas and his parents, and she said with a smile, "I’m in no hurry."

Lydia chimed in at once, "But you have to hurry! Pregnancy seemed to be a slow process, but it’ll pass in the blink of an eye. It’ll be too late for you to make decisions after you give birth. You should make full use of time and handle these things while pregnant."

Katherine kept smiling, saying nothing.

As if she couldn’t tell Katherine didn’t want to continue this conversation, Lydia added, "A baby should be born into a perfect family, and it’s good for the baby. Now that you’re expecting, you should get back with Marshall as soon as possible."

Katherine remained silent and kept that smile on her face, but her eyes weren’t smiling at all. She wondered what a so-called "perfect family" Lydia was referring to was. Was a perfect family equivalent to the marriage certificate? The baby wouldn’t be an orphan if they didn’t marry each other. Both she and Marshall were alive and expecting its arrival, so how wasn’t it born into a perfect family?

Lucas saw everything and chipped in, "That’s Marshall and Katherine’s business, and we can’t make decisions for them. Let them do it themselves, and whatever they do, they must have their own reasons."

Lydia shot a glance at Lucas, sullen.

Old Mrs. Grant echoed, "Exactly. Let them make decisions themselves, and we’ll just leave them alone. They have their own reasons, no matter what they do."

Now that Old Mrs. Grant stepped in, Lydia said no more.

Carson changed the topic a few seconds later and talked about business for a while. Meanwhile, Lydia stared at Frances and sighed, "Frances, you’ve changed so much."

Frances ran her fingers through her hair and said, "Really? Not that much."

"So much." Lydia nodded. "You look much younger now, and you look totally different from before."

In the past, Frances put on an act all the time. Each of her moves was designed to be elegant and ladylike. But now, she lounged on the couch like anyone else.

Frances replied with a dry laugh, "Really."

Just as the other people were talking, Khalid glanced at Frances and Lydia. He was surprised to see that the two should be chatting, which had never happened before.

Frances hadn’t got along with anyone before because she was the most senior madam in the house and always looked down upon others. Especially Lydia, they hated each other, and that was why Khalid was astonished right now.

Suddenly, Marshall’s phone rang. He took out his phone, had a look at the caller ID and got up. "Excuse me, but I have to take this call."
