Chapter 421 You Really Changed a Lot
Katherine took a look and called Kyle back, and he answered it almost immediately. Before Katherine spoke, Kyle yelled, "Kathy, what happened to you yesterday? Who is going to harm you? Whoever it is, he dares to hurt people under my wing..."
Katherine sighed, "I'm fine, no big deal, don't worry."
Kyle was noticeably very angry, "Are you at home now? I'll go over now and let's discuss it in person." Then he hung up the phone.
Katherine scrolled through her phone, she didn’t want to call Marshall and Frances, she had nothing to say to them. Then she went downstairs to check what's in the refrigerator and prepared for dinner.
There was still some food in the refrigerator, so Katherine decided to make a fried dish and a salad with sauce. She was busy in the kitchen when Kyle came over in an aggressive manner. If you didn’t already know he was coming to back her up, you would think he was coming to beat her up.
Katherine was in the kitchen, "So you came, come and help me wash the vegetables."
Kyle didn’t hesitate and put on the apron, "What happened to you yesterday? I heard Marshall say that someone took considerable interest in you."
Katherine smiled, "He really tells you everything."
"That’s for sure." Kyle seemed confident, "Marshall and I have the same goal, come on, let's talk about what's going on. Who dares to provoke you?"
Katherine said, "I don't know what's going on, I'm still a little confused now."
Kyle leaned over, there was obviously no one else in the room, but he still lowered his voice, "Could it be Clara? I know she is no good, is she plotting against you?"
Katherine was not sure and she could not draw a conclusion easily, "I don't know, but I don’t think she was that stupid, you know, to do it herself."
Kyle licked his lips, "Or it could be people from the Bennett."
Katherine laughed. The Bennett left so bad an impression on Kyle that whenever something bad happened, he would blame them. Someone was coming while they were talking. Katherine thought it was Marshall but it was Frances. Katherine was uncomfortable seeing her.
Frances came in and looked around, "Has Marshall gotten off work? I thought he is back."
Katherine went to the kitchen. The dishes she made were not enough for three people. Frances saw Katherine and frowned, "What are you doing in the kitchen? Marshall will cook when he comes back. "
Well, Frances really changed a lot. Katherine still vaguely remembered that Frances said Marshall was not for the kitchen, and now Frances said he should cook after work.
Katherine went to the sink, "It's okay, I can do this."
Kyle looked at Frances and then at Katherine. He could sense that something was obviously not right. He waited for Frances to go away, then he approached Katherine and asked, "What's wrong with you two? You were not like this before."
Katherine curled her lips, "Maybe she finally found out that I was actually a nice person."
Kyle could tell that she was joking. He grumbled, "She is actually very stubborn and difficult to get along with. Let me be honest with you, I didn't like her very much. Of course, I know that she didn't like me either."
Katherine said, "To be honest, few people like you, especially the decent ones, but I like you."
Kyle laughed and put his arms around Katherine's shoulders, "We are two of a kind. I knew that when I met you for the first time and we played mahjong together, I knew we could get along well."
Katherine smiled and continued to wash the vegetables. Frances was sitting on the sofa and she saw Kyle ’s arms on Katherine’s shoulders, she was a bit unpleasant. Why was he holding her shoulders? Were they that close?
Marshall came back after a while, and he was a little surprised seeing Frances here, "Mom, why are you here?"
Frances stood up, "I just came by. Did that person tell you the truth?"
Marshall nodded, "A little bit, but not much. He was still detained and I think he knew more than he claimed so I’m going to keep interrogating him. "
Frances let out a sigh of relief, "I didn't sleep well last night. It's really unsafe for Katherine to be alone. I think she should close the shop. Money does not matter, her safety matters."
Marshall looked at Frances and smiled, "Mom, you have changed a lot recently."
Frances paused and rolled her eyes, "Well, do you prefer the previous me?"
"Of course not." Marshall walked towards the kitchen and saw Katherine and Kyle inside. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
He was never worried about Kyle, so seeing him and Katherine together, he did not feel the slightest hint of discontent.
Frances thought for a while and said, "You should go in and help them. Katherine should take a rest. You two men should do all the chores. There is water on the kitchen floor and what if she slips?"
Marshall raised his eyebrows and looked at Frances, "Have you seen Clara recently?"
Frances pursed her lips, "What are you asking this for?"
Marshall tut-tutted and entered the kitchen. Katherine took off her apron and gave it to him. She didn't want to smell the lampblack, so she was relieved to see him.
Katherine went out of the kitchen and saw Frances watching cartoon on the sofa. She smiled and sat next to Frances.
Frances stared at the TV and said to Katherine, "How are you feeling?"
"I am good." Katherine said.
Frances said to Katherine what she said to Marshall, "You should not be capricious now and close the shop for the time being. Do not worry about the business, Marshall will help you. Your safety is the most important thing. When things settled, you can reopen the shop at any time."
Katherine turned and looked at Frances, she lowered her voice, "I told you that I will find an opportunity to leave, and I won't let Marshall know about the baby, so it is none of your business."
Frances still stared at the TV and was silent.
Katherine stood up, "I’ll go upstairs."
Frances waited for Katherine to go to the second floor and let out an insensible sigh. Katherine returned to her room, but she was actually a little upset. She said she would leave, but she had nowhere to go.
It was not that difficult to give birth to the child, but what about the next? Katherine stood beside the window, feeling sad.
