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

Marshall Grant ignored Katherine Jordan and drove away. They didn’t go too far away and instead to a western restaurant. Katherine wasn’t used to the food, yet felt she ate nothing after the meal. Marshall however, preferred western-style food and thought it was convenient.

The two sat down. Katherine said, “I’ll hang out by myself this afternoon. I'll come for you when it's the off duty time. We can go back to the old house together.”

He took a glimpse at her before replying with a simple “Okay.”

The two only chatted a little during the meal. He was quite busy and received several phone calls. He had always been serious about work. When he was making the phone calls, she stared at him. Marshall’s former attitude towards her seemed to be no different from the one he was showing the staff on the other side of the line. He wouldn’t say a sentence if he could deal with things with only one word. Katherine lowered her eyes.

Possibly, he only treated her as another problem to be solved. She was pushed to him by the Old master. Marshall appeared to think that he was given another big program and all he needed to do was to finish it. Yeah, that was it. Thinking of this, Katherine became a little bit unhappy. He was her first man and she had some affection for him. Even if it was reciporcated. How she wanted to stay with him back then!

Marshall received three phone calls before Katherine finished eating. She laid down the knife and fork and wiped her mouth, “Help yourself. I’ll be leaving now. I’ll come to you this afternoon.”

Marshall frowned lightly. He saw her behavior as disrespectful, yet he didn’t realize that his constant phone calls during the meal didn’t show any respect to her as well.

Marshall didn’t say anything, but Katherine already stood up. “I’ll pay the treat.”

She left the private room and went to the reception to pay the bill. She left without taking a taxi. She didn’t really have a specific destination, so she just followed one direction to its end. She wasn’t familiar with this city since she came here only because she married Marshall. She used to be a girl living in the countryside and didn’t expect that she would marry into a fortune to became Mrs. Grant within a year.

Katherine sighed and continued to walk forward.

Having no idea how long she walked, Katherine looked around and found a dessert shop by the roadside. She walked in and looked around. The shop wasn’t big and there weren’t many kinds of food inside. The girl who was working as the cashier was also lethargic.

Few people were inside so it was quiet. Katherine went over and chose several kinds of desserts along with a cup of milk tea. The cashier got the bill, then walked to the backside to prepare the milk tea. Katherine took her things and sat down by the window side. From there, she could see the people walking past quickly outside. All living creatures suffered, referring to those people striving for a living.

Katherine thought of Mr. Henderson. Those rich men didn’t suffer at all. They were living a happy life, but that old man didn’t quite like her. He looked down upon her.
