When it was about lunchtime, Marshall went back to the Grant Residence on time.
He had changed his clothes and had clearly groomed himself as he looked quite dashing.
Katherine was still scrolling her phone upstairs.
Marshall greeted Frances downstairs and went upstairs.
He walked in gently and Katherine didn’t even hear him as she was lying on the bed with her phone.
Marshall gazed at Katherine through the crack of the door.
Leaning against the bedside, Katherine’s pregnancy belly was pretty obvious.
Dressed in a plain colored home wear, Katherine’s hair was in a loose bun and she looked quite gentle.
Instead of going in the bedroom, Marshall stood with his arms folded and just examined Katherine.
Katherine was clearly watching something and would frown and then laugh afterwards.
Marshall raised the corner of his mouth and increasingly found Katherine interesting.
He waited for a couple of more minutes, but Katherine still didn’t move her sight from the phone.
Marshall had no choice but to push the door open and entered.
It took Katherine a few seconds to notice Marshall and she immediately jumped down from the bed and hugged Marshall without saying a word.
Marshall laughed and Katherine can palpably feel the vibration in his chest.
He then said, “This is the first time that you are so clingy to me.”
Well, actually, Marshall was right
Before when they weren’t divorced, Katherine was quite good at sizing up the situation and would never show any public affections to Marshall.
After they got divorced, she was quite mad about Marshall and was always indifferent to him.
This was officially the first time that she was so cute towards him.
Marshall hugged Katherine tightly and swung her, “I’m great. Don’t worry about me.”
Katherine looked up in watery eyes, “You didn’t answer my calls yesterday and didn’t come back. I’m worried sick.”
Marshall caressed Katherine’s face and pecked it, “I got to deal with something last night. My phone was on mute, so I didn’t hear the calls.”
He pinched at her face and then continued, “I was exhausted by the night and was afraid that you might get disturbed, so I just slept in the company. Don’t you trust me? No one can endanger your husband.”
Katherine stared at Marshall for a while and then answered, “Well, you’d better be as awesome as you said you would be.”
Marshall kissed on her forehead and then they smooched for a moment and got downstairs.
Some of the dishes had been served when they got downstairs and Frances was coming upstairs while wiping her hand.
Katherine called Frances mom and said, “Isn’t grandma coming downstairs?”
Frances was taken aback when Katherine called her mom.
She seemed a bit awkward and said, “Well, I loved it when you called me Mrs. Mason. I felt like there was no generation gap between us, but now you are calling me mom, I suddenly felt like I am much older.”
Katherine giggled, “Well, same here. I felt weird, too.
Let’s stick to “Mrs. Mason” then.”
Katherine chimed in, “Should I also call you Mrs. Mason?”
Frances glared at him, “Well, you don’t want to be my son or don’t want me as your mother?”
Marshall immediately shut up and regretted joining in the conversation.
Frances then turned to Katherine, “Your grandmother isn’t downstairs yet. I will call her upstairs.”
She then passed Marshall and Katherine and went to the second floor.
After getting downstairs, Katherine stretched herself, “Right, did Kyle contact you yesterday?”
