CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 509

When Marshall and Katherine arrived at the Grant Residence, Khalid still stayed awake while sitting on the couch and the TV was still on. But obviously, his mind had strayed away.

Marshall was the first to enter the parlor. He was a bit surprised when seeing Khalid, “Dad, why don’t you go to bed?”

Not until quite a while later did he turn to look at Marshall, “Well, I am not sleepy at all.”

Then Katherine followed in. She was rendered amused when noticing the time.

No matter how hard Khalid pretended to remain composed, the sense of frustration and unhappiness were both shown on his face.

“But it’s late. Time to sleep.” Said Marshall.

After that, he led Katherine upstairs.

While walking on the stairs, Katherine looked back at Khalid, who looked a bit agitated with his legs crossed.

Following Marshall, she then went back to the bedroom with a smile.

As the door was closed, Katherine burst into laughter, “Did you see his face? So hilarious! I beg he must be caring about what happened during the lunch time today. It actually works!”

Marshall took off his jacket and nodded, looking a bit distracted.

Katherine went to get the pajamas and headed to the bathroom, “Oh, by the way, what’s wrong with your car?”

Marshall paused for a second, “There is something wrong with the gear.”

He simply fudged it in case Katherine felt bothered if she knew the truth.

What was more, as revengeful as she had been, she would definitely plan for retaliation.

Commonly speaking, keeping her outside the darkness would always be his priority, let alone during her pregnancy.

Katherine answered with a simple yes and showed no doubt. Then she went to take a shower.

After some consideration, he walked out of the room and made a call outside the corridor.

Humming a merry little tune, Katherine walked out of the bathroom after finishing the shower. She was a bit surprised for not seeing Marshall.

She slightly pushed the door open and peeped outside the corridor through the gap.

She saw Marshall talking on his phone at the end of the corridor.

Thinking for a while, Katherine closed the door with her lips pressed.

After doing facial, she lay on the bed. Soon, Marshall came in.

With her eyes closed, she heard him enter the bathroom to take shower. After a while, he lay down by her side.

Katherine turned over with her back on him. She suddenly uttered, “Be careful.”

As he just lay still, he froze for seconds when hearing that. But then he knew what she meant.

He gave her a hug from behind, “I know. Don’t worry. I will be fine.”

Katherine responded with silence this time.

Actually, she never worried about him as she had clear understanding about his capability.

As a sophisticated man fighting in the business world for years, he must have developed his own power.

So he could easily handle most of the threats.

Meanwhile, Khalid didn’t turn off the TV until he had been sitting for quite a while. He then went to open a bottle of wine. He filled a glass with wine and gulped it down. Then he refilled it and emptied it again. After that, he left both the bottle and the glass on the table.

Then he slowly walked upstairs.

Though the wine didn’t contain much alcohol, draining two full glasses of wine in a short time still got him a bit tipsy.
