CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 567

Clara didn’t understand what ‘no big deal’ really meant.

“They have gotten back together so I have no chance now. Moreover, I think Marshall may not be the right one for me.” She looked at Charlie.

Without waiting for his reply, Clara kept saying, “Marshall is a married man with a baby. I will be aggrieved if I marry him and become a stepmom no matter how much I like him.”

She stared at Charlie and said, “There are other men in the world. I can find a better man than Marshall if I want.”

Looking at Clara, Charlie sighed a while later and said, “I know. You are good enough to find a better man but Clara, your grandpa and I can’t wait that long.”

“After Jakub was gone, my condition was poorer and poorer. I know it well. I feel tired these days when I come back to the company and deal with business. I have to face the fact of aging. I want to give you more time to find the right one but I get scared that I won’t last long enough for you to find your Mr.Right.”

Clara pursed her mouth and said after thinking for a while, "uncle can help you with the business."

“I don’t mean to disparage him but he is indeed incompetent. He and I have worked for the company all these years so I know what he is. He is not good enough to manage our company which would have collapsed without me and your grandfather." Charlie sneered.

Charlie had experienced hundreds of negotiations.

He was a master of debate.

It was impossible for Clara to beat him by debating.

Hence, Clara kept her mount shut and listened.

Charlie felt sorry for her.

He said, “Clara, you can do whatever you want when the company prospers in the future. You know sometimes we must suffer loss under our nose for the things we want. Besides, you don’t sacrifice much since you like Marshall, don’t you?”

Bullshit! However, Clara didn’t want to discuss it with him. She just pursed her mouth without answering him.

Maybe Charlie was tired. He kept saying, “Think about what I said. Sometimes you have to make a choice.”

Then he turned around and got out of her room.

Clara was not in a good mood. She sat on the bed for a while and then got up to open the door. Taking a look at the corridor, she found no one.

She crept out and went to Lily’s room directly.

Lily had fallen asleep. She may have cried just now and still held a photo album now.

After taking away the photo album and putting it away, Clara stood beside the bed staring at Lily for quite a while. She didn’t know what to do about her. Then she turned around and got out of her room.

Then she headed to Charlie’s room.

The door of Charlie’s room was not locked probably because he thought it was so late that no one would walk in the corridor.

Hence, Mr. Anderson，Charlie and Grandpa Henderson, Ryan didn’t pay much attention to the slightly open door.

Clara stood not far from the door and eavesdropped.

Ryan said that he was going to underground casino and checked it with Charlie the next day.

Charlie was pacified that he should take is easy since men there knew him.

Clara frowned and thought for a moment and then hurried back to her room.

She held the phone and hesitated for a while. She wanted to tell Marshall about it.

However, She was suddenly discouraged by the message sent by Marshall previously.

She hesitated for quite a while and didn’t send any message to Marshall at last.

She put her phone aside and lay on the bed with her mind blank.

Why did her life get worse and worse and out of control?

She lay on bed and dropped off to sleep with sleepy eyes. Then she woke up suddenly in the middle of the night.

It was dark in the room and for a moment she did not realize what was happening.
