CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 482

Cora suddenly fell in silence.

Khalid added, "I had no other feelings for you. We can be friends, but I don't think we can take a further step."

He hesitated for a while and said sorry.

It took Cora a while to say, "So, your choice is Frances."

Khalid sighed, "It has nothing to do with her. She doesn't get to decide my feelings for you."

Cora sneered, "Really?"

Khalid didn't know what she was questioning. Soon, she added, "Then do you love Frances?"

Khalid paused.

He wondered if he liked Frances. The answer was positive. No matter how many dramas Frances had made, he still loved her after the 30 years they had spent together.

Khalid didn't say anything, but Cora knew what his silence meant.

She said regretfully, "Can you be like you were in the old days? You would've divorced if you were right for each other. No matter how much a person has changed, certain things in their bones will always remain the same."

Khalid didn't want to talk about this. He seemed calm when it came to his relationship, but actually, he was struggling.

He said, "I'm going to be honest. Frances and I loved each other. Our divorce is not completely on her. I was responsible for it, too. I'm not sure where we are heading to, but take it one step at a time."

Cora still wanted to say something, only to be interrupted by Khalid. He said, "It's getting late. You should go to bed now."

He was ending this call.

Cora paused. She had no choice but to agree. Khalid then hung up the phone.

He put the phone aside and seemed to be in a daze.

In Katherin's bedroom, Marshall told her what he had known when he was out this time.

Katherin listened very carefully, but she couldn't find the connection among those things.

Marshall didn't want her to know that much. She was pregnant, and she needed to keep peaceful and healthy.

He can handle the chaos.

After reporting, he inclined to Kathrine and said, "K, do you love me?"

Katherin was surprised, wondering why he asked that question so suddenly and for no reason.

She frowned. "What's wrong?"

Marshall said, "Why don't you want to remarry me? I just don't get it."

Katherin pursed his mouth and looked at Marshall. Her expression became severe, too.

After a few seconds of temptation, she said, "I love you... no matter how many times you've failed me. I'm not going to lie to you... it's true that I still love you, but it's also true that I don't want to remarry you."

Katherin said as her gaze softened. "I need a backup plan for myself. I think it's good for you and me to keep everything the way they are. Someday when you realize that your remarry proposal is just a fling, you can leave, and I don't have to take too much. I won't be able to take it if we get married and then divorced again."

She had been through that once, and she didn't want to do that again.

Marshall looked at Katherin. His expression was complicated. "You don't trust me."

Katherin smiled. "I trust you... but I don't trust myself. Marshall, I don't think I can always keep you by my side."

She said it very calmly, but he could feel the regrets and grievances in her tone.

Marshall felt that maybe his thoughts were too simplistic.

The damage he had done to Katherin during that 300 days needed more than days' care and a few promises to amend.

Marshall sighed and held Katherin in his arms, "You know, I was so timid when facing you because I'm afraid I'll lose you."

Katherin pursed her lips and didn't say anything.

Love was complicated. Marshall hadn't learned it through, and Katherin wasn't an expert of it, either.
