CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 395 It’s Actually Complicated

Katherine made the hot pot soup which was really mouth-watering as she was really good at cooking.

Margaret sat on the sofa and watched them in the kitchen.

She wanted to land a hand, but she wasn’t really needed as Marshall and Kyle were both in the kitchen.

Margaret got fidgety and felt quite suffocated.

After a while, she went out to the yard.

After getting the soup done, Katherine said to Kyle and Marshall, “Get the veggies on the dining table once you are done washing them.”

Then she just left the kitchen and joined Margaret in the yard.

She stood beside Margaret, “What’s wrong? Are you too tired working in the store alone? How about I give you a day off tomorrow? You can unwind yourself.”

Margaret shook her head, “I’m great.”

Then she exhaled, “Is the food okay? I wanted to help you but was unable to.”

Katherine smiled, “I didn’t see them so diligent before. Well, just let them do it if they are willing to.”

Margaret glanced at the kitchen, “Marshall is really sweet to you.”

Katherine touched her belly subconsciously, “Really? He didn’t seem like so before.”

Margaret grinned, “Is he also great too your friends.”

Katherine hadn’t really thought about this question as she didn’t have many friends anyway.

But she didn’t really think that Marshall was also being nice to the people around her.

But she answered after pondering, “Maybe. He is nice to everyone.”

Margaret beamed, “It makes sense then.”

Then Kyle called that dinner was ready.

Katherine was already hungry and just pulled Margaret, “Let’s go. We’ll talk later.”

Kyle was here before and brought out the drinks he bought the last time, “Let’s enjoy this hot pot with beer. How great is this! Let’s take this opportunity and get wasted.”

He then handed Katherine a bottle.

Katherine stared at it for a while and shook her head, “I’m feeling unwell and don’t want to drink.”

Marshall then took the bottle over, “Go easy on her. She finally felt better.”

Kyle nodded after thinking for a minute, “Right. You’d better not drink.”

Then he grabbed a bottle and looked at Margaret, “Do you want one?”

Margaret took it and smiles, “Sure I would have some. What a merry occasion.”

Katherine didn’t think too much and said to Margaret, “Don’t have too much. You might feel sick tomorrow.”

Margaret pursed her lips. “Okay. Got it.”

Kyle was an expert in lightening up the mood and just brought up Alexis’s accident.

The person that she struck with a bat the last time was the girlfriend of the man that she hooked up with.

They bumped into each other and got physical.

It was fine at first, but Alexia then started hitting the other girl which can be counted as intentional injury.

After learning the accident, Ariel wanted to pay the hush money and settle the case out of court.

She was actually quite generous, but that girl also came from a wealthy family and just wanted a criminal record on Alexis’s portfolio to vent out her anger.

Ariel went to find the girl for several times in the hospital, but the girl refused to meet her and just called the police when Aerial located her again.

To this point, they must go through judicial procedures.

Kyle was rather pleased, “I’d like see what the verdict would be. That Alexis was always haughty. It would be so satisfying if she could be in the jail for a few months.”

Katherine didn’t really listen to Kyle and just focused on eating.

She had a poor appetite recently and didn’t really eat much these days. Now that she finally was having something she loves, there was no way she would miss the opportunity to pig out.

While getting veggies for Katherine, Marshall said to Kyle, “Her punishment might get mitigated if Alexis does some bribing.”

Kyle directly answered, “I would do the same thing then,”

Marshall smiled and then looked at Katherine, “Eat slowly. We have a bunch more here. Don’t you find them hot?”

Then he poured Katherine some juice, “Drink some of this. What are you hurrying for?”

Katherine took it over and gulped down.

Marshall chuckled, “You changed so much, you know.”

Katherine didn’t even look up, “Well, you too.”

Marshall put down the chopsticks and grabbed tissues to wipe Katherine’s mouth, “The old me and the new me. Which one do you like?”

Katherine wouldn’t fall for this and sneered, “Neither. I just don’t like you.”

Marshall giggled and even caressed Katherine’s hair, “You are quite quick-minded.”

Margaret took a deep breath and really was not in the mood to continue eating.

She put down the chopsticks and sipped juice.

Katherine paused, “Why didn’t you stop? You didn’t really have much? Are you still trying to lose weight?”

Margaret raised the corner of her mouth, “Yeah, I don’t see the need. I’m great this way.”

“Sure you are.” Katherine answered and resumed eating.

Kyle then droned on talking about the Bennetts’ situation. He seemed to be enjoying making things difficult for them.

But Katherine didn’t really want to hear about it and just fixed on her plate.

She then wiped her mouth with a tissue and said, “I’m all good.”

Then she stumbled out of the dining room.

Standing in the living room, she took a few deep breathes and went upstairs.

She immediately charged into the bathroom and threw up.

Katherine hurriedly rinsed her mouth and washed her face.

Then she went downstairs again.

Margaret also left the kitchen and looked at Katherine, “What’s wrong? You don’t look good.”

Katherine replied calmly, “I had too much and got stuffed.”

Katherine and Margaret then went to the yard and sat on the bamboo chair.

Margaret gazed at Katherine, “I feel like you are getting back together with Marshall.”

Katherine smiled, “Why would you feel it this way?”

Margaret deliberated, “Just the way you are looking at him. You don’t seem to be rejecting him. I feel like that you are about to be together.”

“So I really don’t understand why would you get divorced. Did you think he was not good enough for you?”

Katherine felt powerless. The perfect way that Marshall was acting now was letting other people to presume that she was the reason they got divorced.

But they didn’t really know how horrible he was before. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

He asked for a divorced in less one 100 hundred days his grandpa passed away.

He had never thought about what kind of situation he was getting her into.

Katherine pursed her lips, “Nah. You can call the reason simple or complicated. I really don’t know how to explain it.”

Put it simply, Marshall just didn’t love her.

If she really had to explain it in details, she might bring up what happened between her grandpa and Marshall’s grandpa.

But she was getting all edgy to recount what exactly happened.

Well, it’s all in the past. There was no need hanging up on it.

So Katherine just waved, “Enough about this. I might get distressed.”

Then she looked at Margaret, “You didn’t seem to have much earlier? What happened?”
