CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 564

Katherine had no interest in watching these people play some sort of language game and squabble here. It was meaningless.

She didn’t even want to talk to Marshall now, let alone Lydia.

But Old Mrs. Grant clung to her hands and talked a lot to compliment her.

Carson who was sitting aside realized that Lydia had made his mother displeased so he chimed in with Old Mrs. Grant.

Marshall was next to Katherine and hadn’t spoken a word.

Katherine noticed something. She looked down at his hand and found that he had somehow dug out their previous wedding ring and put it on.

She looked up at his face. It appeared that he was truly happy about their remarriage and wanted to be with her.

She touched his hand and held hands tightly with him.

Katherine said nothing but Marshall understood what she wanted to say.

The subject then switched to the two children of Ronnie Grant, gramdma Grant's third son.

They had both been abroad and it was uncertain when they would come back.

Old Mrs. Grant sighed, “Neither of them seems to be worried about getting married and having babies. It is I who am anxious instead.”

Ronnie laughed. He said, “It’s the same with me, Mother. But I can pretend unconcerned as I know it’s no good pressing them. Young people always have their own ideas, different from parents’.”

Old Mrs. Grant nodded. “It’s probably for the best,” and then she said, “Find some time to visit your father’s grave and tell him about this thing to cheer him up.”

When it came to Old Mr. Grant, the subject became solemn.

Katherine also thought of her grandfather.

Old Mr. Jordan liked children and had been nice to all the kids in the village. If he were alive, he would be very happy.

Katherine was a little depressed and until dinner, her mood didn’t improve. She shouldn’t think of the past because her emotion was easily impressionable.

After everyone was seated, Old Mrs. Grant was joyful and said that thanks to Katherine, they could gather together. And she expressed her gratitude again.

Marshall nipped Katherine’s fingers and beamed in a low voice. His joy was genuine and apparent.

Katherine had slept for too long, and hence she felt a little tired and droopy. All the family members were talking about some family matters. Only she didn’t utter a word.

Marshall was worried about her so he turned to ask her, “What’s wrong? Are you all right?”

Katherine shook her head. “I feel a little tired. Perhaps I got too much sleep.”

Marshall touched her hair and said, “Well, let’s get this meal finished and then we can take a walk outside.”

“All right.”

Lucas cast a glance at them and soon looked away.

Katherine ate little but fast and she seldom spoke.

Marshall gobbled up his food to catch up with her and finished quickly. He stood up first with Katherine.

Katherine didn’t speak. So Marshall excused themselves and explained to other people that they needed to go out for a walk as Katherine had got too much sleep and didn’t feel well.

Other family members all understood her.

Old Mrs. Grant said, “Go on. Walking is good for you. We are family and you don’t have to care about etiquette. Remember to take a rest after the walk. We don’t need you here now. Just take good care of yourselves.”

Since she said so, Marshall held Katherine’s hands immediately and left the dining room.
