CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 429 He Is Not My Only Choice

Katherine giggled, “Of course I’m a good girl.”

Marshall was talking to Eden and when he heard about Katherine’s words, he turned to Katherine and beamed, “I didn’t notice how confident you are before.”

She would flinch every time she talked to Frances before.

This vibe of confidence seemed to have surfaced after the divorce.

Katherine then turned to Frances, “Well, I just didn’t bother to have arguments before. I’m quite big- hearted and didn’t mind let a single petty person having the upper hand.”

Frances hissed and glared at Katherine, “You are referring to me, aren’t you?”

Katherine raised her eyebrows and didn’t deny the idea.

Frances scanned her up and down and ended up saying nothing.

Well, she really didn’t want to fight anything for the baby’s sake.

They then take Eden and Margaret to lunch and just shut the store temporarily.

The boy who was in the floor business was coming out of the door when they went out.

Seeing that they were all going out, the boy hurried over, “Katherine. Why are you shutting the door? I haven’t seen you for a long time.”

Marshall remembered this boy who came over and asked for Katherine’s phone number.

He deliberately gave him his number and had got lots of texts from him saying good morning, good evening and good night.

He even texted Katherine regularly during the time that Katherine went back to the village,

Marshall was even surprised at how persistent can this man be. He had never texted back, but this man just kept on texting.

Marshall came over and wrapped his arm around Katherine’s shoulder, “We’re going to have lunch. What do you want?”

The boy froze when he saw Marshall’s movements and stared at Marshall’s hand for a long time.

Katherine knew what Marshall’s was up to, otherwise, she would long fling Marshall’s hand away.

She really didn’t want to give any hope to this boy and genuinely wished he could learn the truth as soon as possible.

So Katherine even leaned closed towards Marshall and repeated Marshall’s question, “What happened? Do you need anything?”

The boy looked at Katherine and his eyes dimmed, “You, you...”

Standing aside, Frances really couldn’t figure out why would all these men like Katherine.

To be honest, she didn’t find any attractive aspects of Katherine till now.

As for Marshall’s obsession towards Katherine, she was in constant bewilderment,

She really wouldn’t believe that her son would be shallow enough to like Katherine just for her gorgeous face.

So she was quite confused when she noticed how many men had feelings for Katherine.

Margaret smiled in silence.

She then approached Frances and whispered, “This boy would come to the store and check on Katherine every day while she was away. He is really in love with her.”

Hearing Margaret’s words, Frances examined the boy.

He looked fresh out of the school and was quite naïve.

Did he even know what was love? Did he know how to shoulder his responsibilities and take care of his woman?

Frances sneered and suppressed her voice, “Well, his love is useless anyway. Katherine wouldn’t ever like him back.”

Margaret paused and though she knew Frances wasn’t talking about her, she couldn’t help glancing at Marshall who was hugging Katherine.

She had also loved someone who would never love her back and foolishly thought she had a shot.

She even thought about confessing her love to Marshall just like this boy, but the good thing was that she refrained the idea.

Otherwise, the situation would get just as awkward as what was happening right now like this boy.

The boy surveyed Katherine and answered gloomily, “Nothing really. I’m just here to say hi.”

Then he first turned around and went back to his store.

Katherine then turned to Marshall, “Get your hand away from me.”

Marshall knew where to draw the line and just put down his hand after raising his eyebrows.

They then got on Marshall’s car and went to a great restaurant in the downtown area.

There weren’t many diners in the restaurant at this time.

Marshall was indeed joyful as though Katherine was pregnant for a while, he just learned the new yesterday and was still excited.

He wanted to celebrate this news, so after going into the private room, he called Kyle and asked what he was doing.

Kyle was actually playing mahjong with the staff from the club and wasn’t playing for money.

Marshall asked if he wanted to grab the lunch together and mentioned there were many people present.

Kyle was a big fun of joining in the fun and immediately left the mahjong table and said he would be there in a minute.

Katherine’s phone vibrated when Marshall just hung up.

Her phone was on the table and Frances was sitting next to her, so she naturally saw the messenger ID.

Frances paused, “Ralph? Are you still in touch with him?”

Then she tapped herself on the forehead, “Right. I heard that Mrs. Maddie Nicholson Walters was pretty fond of you. How lucky.”

Frances frowned at Katherine, “I heard that the Maria Davies Grant took you as her daughter right? So Ralph is sort of your brother now, right?”

Katherine sipped the water and picked up the phone, “Yeah, it’s about right.”

Frances then surveyed Katherine up and down, “Well, you are sure a lucky one. How did you get them to like you?”

Katherine grinned, “Well, the masses have their own opinions. You should really reflect on yourself and see what other people are thinking about.”

She then continued, “You are the only one who doesn’t like me. Do you need me to remind you who’s got a poor taste?”

She then turned to Margaret, “Am I right?”

Margaret acted like she hadn’t heard a thing.

Frances twitched her mouth, “Did that little boy feed into your confidence?”

Katherine nodded, “Right, I got my wooers. Your son is just one of them and he is not my only choice.”

Marshall paused, “Leave me alone! I don’t want to be part pf your fight.”

Frances rolled her eyes at Marshall, “How incompetent are you! You can’t even tame one woman. She wouldn’t be fighting with me now if you can have her.”

Marshall then turned to Eden, “Did you see how unreasonable can women be?”

Eden cracked a smile, “It seems like they got quite a good relationship there. The life won’t get dull this way.”

Good relationship? Marshall gazed at Frances and Katherine.

Well, right. Their relationship was definitely much better than before.

Katherine checked the phone and found that Ralph texted her and asked how was she.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

She mused for a while and texted back that Marshall had learned about her pregnancy and wondered if he would have lunch with them and gave him the address.

Ralph immediately replied okay and said he was around and would come over in a minute.

This was truly a merry scene. If Hector could also be here, all the people that she had a good relationship with would all be together on the same table.

Katherine’s eyes dimmed when she thought about Hector.

What a pity...
