CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 539

When Khalid arrived at Kyle's Club, they had already served all the dishes.

Khalid saw Frances as soon as he walked into the room.

Frances was standing by the window, talking to the phone.

Everyone else in the room was silent.

Frances was facing the window, not knowing that Khalid had entered.

Khalid paused at the door and heard Frances say, "I'm a little busy and probably won't have time tonight."

Then there was a pause, maybe because the man on the other side of the phone didn't say anything. Then Frances continued, "I'm not sure about that. We need more details to make the decision."

Judging from the way Frances spoke, she was pretty polite, or even a bit resistant to the one she was talking to.

Nicolas was the first to come to Khalid's mind. He walked up to France and asked without lowering down his voice, "What's happening? Who are you talking to? Come and have dinner."

Frances froze and looked back at Khalid.

Khalid was smiling innocently.

Frances wasn't angry. She looked at Khalid in surprise and said to the man on the other side of the phone, "I have to go to dinner now. See you."

The call was over.

Khalid didn't ask who was on the phone. He put his hand around Frances's shoulders, and they walked to the table.

Katherin's lips arched when seeing Khalid and Frances together.

This was the first time she saw the middle-aged couple being so intimate in public.

They looked so adorable.

Frances felt a bit shy. She sat down and took a sip of water.

Kyle was somehow excited today.

He greeted Khalid and asked him if he wanted to eat anything. There was a menu for Khalid to order food for his own.

Khalid didn't find anything he especially wanted to eat. He said, "I thought it was just her and me going out for dinner. I had even come up with a restaurant that served excellent cuisine. I was going to take her there, but she said it was a get-together dinner."

Those words were quite intriguing.

Katherin couldn't help but burst into laughter, "You must be quite disappointed that we ruined your date."

Then she added, "It's fine. You can go out for a date tomorrow. We're gathering here today because Kyle's happy. You two will have enough opportunities to date in the future. No worries."

Frances felt so shy when Katherine said that.

Khalid, on the contrary, laughed and agreed with Katherine, "You're right."

Frances let out a sigh of relief.

She couldn't say what exactly feeling she was having. It was a bit of sweetness, happiness, and excitement.

During the meal, Khalid asked why Marshall didn't come.

Katherin said that Marshall seemed to have something to do.

Khalid paused because he didn't remember he had arranged that much work for Marshall.

It stood no reason that the tiny amount of work would take over Marshall's spare time, but Khalid didn't say anything.

Katherin was a bit naughty. As she chewed, she mentioned that she had had dinner with Frances's friends, like Nicolas, but she had never had meals with Khalid's friends.

She was implying Cora.

Frances looked up at Katherin and understood what she meant.
