CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 494

“Yes.” Katherine Jordan answered, as if she did not know Lydia had seen Lucas Grant walked with her.

Lucas Grant turned around and looked at Katherine Jordan, “I’ll go in first. You just walk slowly, don’t worry.”

Katherine Jordan waved her hands to Lucas Grant and then she went on walking to the back door.

Lydia stood still and looked at the sight of Katherine Jordan’s back for a few minutes. Then she turned and followed Lucas Grant to comeback.

When she entered the living room with Lucas Grant, she asked, “Why did you go together with her? Where did you meet?”

Lucas Grant was a bit surprised. He turned and looked at Lydia, “Don’t you have to go out? Why you come back?”

Lydia went on without regard to Lucas Grant’s question, “What did you say when you two went all the way? Tell me, when you two met, what did you talking about!”

Lucas Grant laughed, “You still have a strong sense of defensive regarding Katherine. Aren’t you tired?”

He went upstairs. Lydia didn’t give up getting his answer, so she followed him.

She said, “I am not defensive against her. I am just wondering why the relationship between you and her seemed to be much better than before. In the past you didn’t talk to her much.”

Lucas Grant sighed and stopped walking.

He looked back at Lydia, “She’s already pregnant. What are you afraid of?”

Lydia was a little embarrassed, “Why am I afraid of her? Why should I be afraid of her?”

Lucas Grant stared at Lydia for a while. Then he turned and went to the study.

Lydia stood still for a few seconds and followed Lucas Grant to go there.

But she didn’t ask so much this time.

She started to refer to Katherine Jordan’s situation, “Although she and Marshall still haven’t remarried yet, she has a much better relationship with Marshall now. Whether they are going to get remarried or not, there is no difference. It will not affect their affections.”

Lucas Grant found his file. When he turned back, he saw Lydia leaning against the door frame. She went on to mention Katherine Jordan, “She must have relied on Marshall. If Marshall was not so generous, she should still be the country girl. She didn’t change by nature.”

Lucas Grant stared at Lydia, “If I didn’t obey your words and compromise with Old Mr. Grant to marry Katherine, what will it be like now?”

Lydia was shocked by Lucas Grant’s words. She almost jumped up, “How can you think about that? It is impossible for you to marry with her. It is impossible for you and her to be together.”

Lucas Grant sighed, “Why it is possible for Marshall and her to be together? Why it is impossible for me?”

He gave Lydia a sickly smile and said, “You always said Katherine cannot offer me any help. Marshall also cannot get any support from Katherine, but obviously he lives a very happy life. Look back to me. What a kind of life I have?”

Lydia’s eyes glazed over. She gave a puzzled glance at Lucas Grant, “What’s wrong with you now? Don’t you live a good life now? As a single man, you can choose you bride from a large pool. Your life is not worse than Marshall. Actually your life is better than his.”

Lucas Grant shook his head frustrated “Do you really think my life is better than Marshall’s? I feel unhappy at all. Why you said my life is better than his?”

Lydia seemed a bit frustrated, “Lucas, don’t worry. You will meet a better...”

Lucas Grant did not want to listen to her anymore. He stepped on to go outside. When he passed Lydia, he uttered, “The truth is Katherine did not have a crush on me, not because I did not have a crush on her. She didn’t like me. You need to know that.”

After he finished talking, he strode out.

Lydia stood at the door of the study, staring at the sight of Lucas Grant’s back. For a long time she didn’t know what to say.

Katherine Jordan went out from the back door and went to the bamboo forest on the back hill.

The bamboo forest had been cleaned. The path to the hill was very clean.

Katherine Jordan walked up slowly. She did not want to visit any place in particular. She went there only because she felt bored.

She was pregnant, so she did not dare to exercise too much. She moved bit by bit.

After walking nearly half an hour, which only took less than ten minutes in usual, she reached a clearing above.
