Hearing what Marshall said, Frances hesitated for a while. She was a little uneasy.
Katherine pinched Marshall's waist and said, “Stop it. Let sleeping dogs lie.”
“I was just curious. But I think mom won’t let me take her home.” Marshall laughed.
While they were talking, Khalid walked down from the second floor with a bag in his hand.
He walked over to Frances with a calm face and said, “I’ve packed up my clothes. Let’s go now?”
He was ready anyway.
After taking a look at Grandma Grant and Marshall, Katherine couldn’t help laughing out loud.
Grandma Grant let out a mock sigh and said, “You're an adult and have your own life. Both of you may go if you want. Frances is too shy to stay here while Khalid is bold enough to go to Frances’s place.”
Frances blushed and raised her hand to pat Khalid on the shoulder. “What are you doing? You just take me home and come back here.”
Khalid was not shy at all. “What do you mean ‘take you home and come back here’. We are supposed to go together.”
Noticing Frances’s embarrassment, Katherine held Marshall’s arm with a smile. “Well. We're not gonna kid you anymore. You two may go together and take care. I’m a little tired. Marshall and I are going upstairs,” she said.
Marshall nodded at Khalid and Frances and then followed Katherine upstairs.
“Look, your parents are living a romantic life of old people.” Katherine laughed out loud when they came back to their room.
“I thought you wouldn’t come back to me until old age. I have tried everything I could to have you back. I wouldn’t know what to do if you hadn’t said yes.” Marshall walked to Katherine and hugged her.
“What do you mean ‘didn’t know what to do’? Don't you have many admirers? Clara will come to you immediately if you want.”
She mentioned Clara again. Marshall was speechless.
“Why do you talk about her again and again? We are just friends. She is not as attractive and cute as you. I'm not stupid. Why would I like her?” He hugged her intimately.
“Now you are good at sweet talks anyway.” She laughed and patted his hand.
“Well, you love hearing what I said, don’t you? I would like to say any word to make you happy.”
He approached her and said in a deep voice.
She stared at him for quite a while with a gentle and shy smile.
She hadn't laughed in a long time.
Marshall couldn’t help holding her face and kissing her.
Technically, this was their wedding night.
Things got a little out of hand when it started with a kiss. Katherine didn’t know how she entered the bathroom and how she was taken out of it. Anyway, they kept hugging and kissing and went to the bed at last.
Marshall didn’t go too far and just stopped after lingering for a while for the sake of the baby.
Katherine was a little excited since they hadn’t had sex for a long time. She was pregnant and sensitive. The intimacy overwhelmed her.
Lying beside her, Marshall gave her a hug and kissed her on her sweaty forehead gently.
There were a lot of words he wanted to say, such as ‘sorry’ or ‘I love you’. But he felt that words could not express his feelings.
After calming down, Katherine turned over and hugged him. She said, “Marshall, this is the last chance. I won’t come back to you if you let me down again.”
Marshall patted her on her back and said in a gentle but firm voice, “Don’t worry. I won’t.”
He got his lesson.
