CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 504

Marshall reached out his hand to stroke her hair with a smile, “Just hold on. I don’t know how he feels either.”

Katherine pouted, “Unpredictable.”

Marshall looked around, “Alright, just leave them here. Let’s go for somewhere else for lunch.”

Then both of them left, while Khalid was still sitting there alone, waiting for the dishes.

Marshall didn’t order much as he had noticed himself beforehand that he might need to leave soon.

Khalid didn’t feel much appetite while staring at the dishes.

He picked up the tableware, fiddle with the food and then put it down.

He sat still with his back leaning on the chair, emotionless.

Frances also found herself that her appetite had fled away, feeling uneasy though she failed to tell the reason.

Nicolas also noticed that. He smiled, “What’s the matter? Are you feeling unwell?”

Frances breathed out, “No.”

After some consideration, she raised up her head to look at him to confess, “I saw my ex-husband here.”

Nicolas paused, “You mean here?”

Frances nodded, “Just a few steps away.”

Nicolas smiled, “No wonder Miss Jordan walked away.”

Frances had no idea how to continue.

Actually, the situation wasn’t an embarrassing one. She could deal with it by simply walking to his front, greeting and smiling.

However, she found herself uneasy out of no reason.

Nicolas also looked around and soon noticed Khalid.

Actually, they didn’t know each other. Though Khalid had kept himself a low profile, some news about him was covered for a few times on the financial section.

So Nicolas felt a bit familiar when looking at him.

Khalid simply sat still, looking displeased with those dishes intact.

Nicolas took a look at him and smiled. Then he said to Frances, “I am sure your ex has seen us.”

Of course Khalid had for they were both involved in the tricks of Katherine. So he had noticed her as soon as he entered.

Frances hesitated while licking her lips, “You might wait here. Let me walk over for a greeting.”

Nicolas looked at her, “Do I need to go with you?”

Frances shook her head, “No, thanks. Just leave it to me.”

It would be really weird if Nicolas walked over there with her.

Though now he was just a friend of Frances, it would make both of them fishy if he followed over to greet her ex.

Nicolas didn’t insist, “Alright, I will be waiting here.”

Frances stood up to walk over to Khalid.

Actually, Khalid was that displeased-looking. He was just wearing a poker face.

Frances walked to his front and said in plain voice, “Hey, what a coincidence!”

Khalid kept his posture still without looking at her.

Frances sat down though struggling in her heart, “I also saw Marshall just now. What brought you both here?”

Khalid took a look at her. Not until quite a while later did his expression soften a bit, “Marshall proposed so. But it must be intentional.”

Frances was rendered awkward. She licked her lips, “It was just a friend of mine. He asked me for a favor because of something in his house.”

Actually, Khalid also realized that it was just a normal meet for friends since Katherine was by her side.
