CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 540

When Marshall finally came, the dinner was almost over.

They were talking and laughing in the room.

Khalid was talking to Frances and Katherin to Kyle most of the time.

They seldom cross-talked, but they were all in a very good mood.

When Marshall pushed the door and came in, he seemed surprised to see some people in the room. He asked, "Dad? You're here, too?"

Katherin gave him a look and said, "Why ask? Of course he should be here!"

Frances wasn't as shy as she had been anymore. She asked Marshall where he had been and why he didn't come with Khalid.

Marshall replied as he came over and sat next to Katherin, "Something was wrong at the factory warehouse. I went by and checked. We arranged lots of people there, and I haven't checked for quite a while since last time. So I think I should go over and take a look."

Khalid knew about that, too. He knew they were from Katherin's hometown.

So he nodded and asked, "How are they doing there?"

Marshall leaned back in his chair. "They were doing fine."

Katherin knew Marshall was lying. That was not what he was out for.

Marshall didn't want to tell the truth, and Katherine knew there must be a reason.

Marshall sat and chatted for a while. Then he looked at Kyle, "What's got into you today? You look so happy."

Kyle was a little taken back. He stared at Marshall and said, "You all think I'm thrilled today? I feel like pretty much the same as usual."

"No... you look quite different," Marshall said straightforwardly, "Your mind state today differed a lot from days ago."

Katherin laughed and looked at Kyle. "Am I right?"

Kyle clicked his tongue, "Fine. Maybe I'm really in a good mood today, much better than how I was days ago. You're right."

He thought about it and realized that he had really felt a little more comfortable today than a few days ago.

Marshall turned over and asked again, "Did Miss Mitchell make up with you?"

Katherin burst out laughing.

She looked at Marshall, "How can you get to the point so quickly and precisely?"

Marshall smiled and nodded. "Then I guessed right."

Kyle looked a little embarrassed and didn't reply to what Marshall said.

Katherin smiled and changed the subject by asking Marshall if he had had dinner and wanted to eat anything here.

Marshall had no appetite. Thinking that others had finished eating, he said, "It's fine. I'll eat when we're back. I don't feel like eating now."

He had dealt with some bloody affairs in the warehouse, which made him lose his appetite for food.

Katherin didn't say anything else. They talked for a while and found it was about time to leave.

Kyle was still thrilled. He asked them to stay and play more mahjong with him.

Katherin could tell that Marshall was already tired. She turned down Kyle's request and said they would be back when they had time.

Kyle nodded. "Okay, I'll call someone else to join me."

He was still in a state of excitement. Rosie's words really carried much weight on him.

Katherin left with Marshall, and Khalid gave Frances a ride.

Katherin winked at Frances as they parted at the gate.

She was sure Frances could read the implication.

Frances stared at Katherin for a few moments and smiled. She had read Katherin's hint.

After Marshall and Khalid talked for a few minutes, Katherin and Marshall went to the car.

Katherin stretched. It was still early at night, but she was already sleepy.

On the way back, Katherin fell asleep on the chair.
