CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 162: You Didn’t Wear the Wedding Ring

Clara was stupefied at first.

Katherine knocked at her phone case to warn Clara that she was recording.

Clara turned back to the papers.

She was so well-educated that she thought it a bad influence on her image to be caught a despised look.

Katherine sneered to put the phone down.

“Knock it off. I’m in the middle of business. You can go out for a walk or talk to Peter if you are bored.” Marshall said in a moderate tone. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Katherine stretched herself in the chair.

“Fine. I can’t help you anyway.” She seemed to think of something.

Katherine murmured as she walked towards the door slowly, “I saw Lucas just now. He said he would be free this afternoon, so I’ll go there.”

Marshall stopped for a second but he didn’t move his eyes from the papers.

Katherine had a self-satisfied smirk on her face and left the office.

Lucas was in his own office.

Without knocking at the door, Katherine pushed the door slightly and popped her head around.

Hearing the sound, Lucas looked up.

She giggled at him.

“Are you busy?” she asked in a low voice.

Thinking for a second, Lucas answered, “No.”

Then she came into the office.

He put away the papers on his desk and asked, “What’s up? Is there anything wrong with Marshall?”

She strolled back and forth, with her hands behind her back, and made a silent answer.

Then she paced to the window, looked out and said, “Clara is there for cooperation. I feel bored.”

She smiled, “It was so boring there. I think here is much better.”

“Offices are almost the same.” Lucas grinned.

“Well, I want to run a dessert shop next month. You can eat for free.” She turned around.

“You’re going to set up a shop?” he was surprised.

Nodding seriously, she said, “I can do nothing but open a shop, otherwise, my life will be so boring.”

“I thought you liked being a housewife.” He stared at her.

She grinned, “No, no, I hated being idled every day. I used to be very busy when I lived with my grandpa.”

At the thought of this, she made a passing mention of her past life.

Never did she think the poor life was a shame, so she didn’t mean to conceal anything about her past.

She talked in a flat tone. When describing something funny, she almost laughed her head off.

Lucas laughed with her. What she had experienced was unknown to him.

He was brought up very strictly and they siblings had to learn lots of things from an early age.

Besides going to school, they had to have extra classes at home in their spare time.

They had a full schedule every day so that they had no time to hang out.

Clara went up and sat opposite him. She put her arms on the desk and chin on the arm.

“Actually, I kind of miss my life before. It was poor, but happy.” said she.

Lucas stared at her. Her eyes were round and black.

When she talked about something delighted, her eyes would lift up.

And the smile brightened her face.

Lucas thought of the past. He had met her few times.

Each time he saw her, she was depressed.

She used to be very distressed.

It had been uncomfortable to get along with her actually.

But now she’s totally different.

“It’s true. There were many animals in the mountains in my hometown. You can only see them in the zoo, but it’s not rare there.” She chuckled.

Looking up and touching her chin, she said, “I haven’t seen those animals for a long time. I wish I could go back home.”

He stared at her hands.

They were not fair, tender or thin,

They looked a little rough.

In the past one year, she hasn’t done any work, so her hands looked more tender. But it could still be seen that the hands had gone through much toil.

At the moment, there weren’t any accessories in her hands.

“Why don’t you wear the wedding ring?” Lucas frowned.
