Chapter 367 Because I Screwed Marshall

Frances came in while they were about to shut the store.

She was just passing by, but hurriedly came in when she saw Marshall sitting inside.

Pushing the door open, she said, “Marshall.”

People present all froze. Glancing at Frances, Katherine smiled.

It looked like Frances were really desperate and had no choice but to wait for Marshall.

Though Marshall was surprised to see Frances, his face remained undisturbed and called mom.

Frances suddenly got edgy, “I called you a bunch, but you didn’t answer them.”

Marshall nodded and directly replied, “I don’t want to.”

Frances’ face immediately reddened and got embarrassed.

Katherine, Margaret and Peter all got pretty awkward.

Katherine licked her lips, “Um, I want to get some fresh air outside. Do you want to come with me?”

Margaret and Peter immediately figured out Katherine’s intention and went outside with her.

They walked out and found a spot to chat.

Peter lamented, “Well, Miss Mason looks pretty pathetic.”

Katherine suddenly broke into laughers, “Well, those who are pathetic always have some insufferable sides. The next time you feel this way, you can search Miss Mason’s clips in the hospital online. She made quite a big scene. Did you see how ferocious she was? She sure didn’t look pathetic back then.”

Peter grinned, “Well, do you feel like extremely satisfied to see her this way like you got your revenge?”

Katherine pondered for a while and answered, “Well, I actually would feel satisfied at first, but then she came over and bossed me to contact Marshall for her. Then I suddenly felt that I’ve thought too much. Why would I bother myself for that kind of person? Why wouldn’t just I enjoy my sweet life?”

Peter stared at Katherine, “You’re getting increasingly generous, you know.”

Margaret looked at the store and continued, “I feel that Miss. Mason is somewhat nice to everyone but Katherine. She is always sharp-tongued towards you.”

“Right.” Katherine lamented, “Well, maybe it’s because I’m the one who screwed his son.”

Then the three all chuckled.

Sitting across Marshall, Frances said, “Marshall, you also think I shouldn’t make a scene at the hospital, right?”

Marshall looked at Frances and got soft-hearted.

“It’s not your fault. No matter what you do, it’s your own choice. At the end of the day, you have to be responsible for you own deeds. I can’t meddle in.”

Frances drooped her eyes, “You are still blaming me then.”

Then she continued, “Not in a million years would I believe that there is nothing going on between your father and that woman. They’ve been contacting with each other all these years. I just suddenly lost my temper and went crazy. You know me, right? It’s just who I am.”

Marshall just replied all Frances’ words with a light nod.

It was clear that he didn’t want to argue with Frances on this matter. It was futile even if he did.

Frances had never had any self-reflection all these years and always thought that other people were wrong.

Frances then let out a sigh, “I didn’t expect to get to this point with your father. I suppose that you father would get back with that woman soon.”

Marshall answered coldly, “Not for now. But they would be together pretty quickly if you continue to stir up troubles.”

Frances paused and knew that Marshall was blaming her by saying this.

She argued, “They definitely had some residual feelings towards each other. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be together no matter how I act up.”

Marshall cracked a smile, “Well, you can think whatever you like.”

Frances immediately shut up.

She finally got the chance to meet Marshall, so she didn’t want to make it too ugly.

Then she just got quiet and looked kind of pitiful with her pursed lips.

Marshall looked away and landed his eyes on Katherine who was standing outside.

They looked like that they were joking about something, because Katherine chortled merrily and stroked Pether.

Then Marshall saw a man coming out a floor shop.

He looked pretty young and marched straight towards Katherine.

Katherine was both easy-going and attractive, so she was pretty well-known here.

She sent some sweets to the shops around when she opened for business, so vendors around would go to her store a lot.

Marshall frowned when he saw that man start talking to Katherine. The man even scratched his head and got shy.

Katherine noticeably froze.

Marshall immediately got alerted and suddenly stood up, “Wait for me.”

Then he just got out of the shop and stepped towards Katherine.

Katherine didn’t see Marshall and had all of her attention on the man standing in front of her.

Well, more accurately, he was a boy.

She heard that he was fresh out of college.

She was married before, so to her, he was a boy.

Peter was speaking to that boy when Marshall came over, “You are too young. It’s no use to get her phone number.”

The boy’s face immediately turned crimson red, “I’m just asking. I have no... no other motives.” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

The boy looked like that he had taken a long time to finally pluck up the courage to ask her out.

Katherine hesitated for a bit.

Peter continued, “Why do you need the phone number then?”

He was apparently teasing.

The boy’s face blushed even more.

Marshall came over and said, “Phone number? I will give it to you. You’d better save it.”

The boy paused and then glanced at Marshall and took out of his phone nervously.

Peter and Katherine both paused when they heard Marshall saying the number out loud.

Katherine let out of a sigh silently. Shrewd as Marshall, he gave the boy his number.

But the boy didn’t know that and even repeated the number, “Am I correct?”

Marshall replied yes.

The boy was pretty merry and hurried back to his shop after saying thanks to Marshall and Katherine.

Katherine then turned to Marshall, “How wicked.”

Marshall stood by the curb with his hands resting in his pocket. “What should I do then? Give him your number?”

Katherine sneered and changed the subject, “Are you done talking with your mother?”

Frances was still in the store.

Marshall sighed, “No. We don’t really have much to talk.”

Katherine said in a while, “Just tell her what you are thinking about once and for all, otherwise, she would just pop up at my store randomly. I don’t care you two, but I would get irritated.”

Marshall didn’t say anything and returned to the store in a minute.

Katherine can see Frances nodding at Marshall through the window glass.

Frances was really sweet to Marshall. Well, the truth was she was nice to everybody but Katherine. How hurtful!

Katherine stood for a while and got impatient, then she just said, “Let’s go back inside.
