Chapter 400 I Really Care About You, That’s Why I Come

Katherine arrived at home in the afternoon. Now most people knew she came back and all went to visit her.

The rims of Katherine’s eyes were red. The residences knew the reason why she was crying. Aunt Kelly came and said, “Kathy, I have prepared delicious food in my home. How about having dinner with me?”

Katherine was exhausted and replied, “Auntie, I want to have a rest first. I am really tired after walking for such a long distance.”

Aunt Kelly hurriedly nodded, “Yes, yes. I forgot about it. Have a rest first. I will bring the food to you later.”

There were other people in the yard. It was them who helped with Katherine’s grandfather’s funeral.

They all knew Katherine was alone and wanted to help her.

Katherine brought several chairs out for them to sit down.

An elder also mentioned her mother came some time ago and seemed wanting to reconciling with Katherine.

Aunt Kelly brought the meals here at this point and interrupted them, saying, “Reconciling? She must be daydreaming. She knew that her daughter married a rich man and came to flatter her. Why was she doing in the last twenty years?”

The elder sighed and continued, “Your mother wasn’t dress well last time she came. I could tell she has spent a rough time. I can’t interrupt your family business, but Kathy, you don’t have other family. We all watch you grow up and are willing to help you if you have any trouble.”

Katherine couldn’t help crying. She tried to control herself and replied, “She is not my mother.”

Everyone could understand her decision. They all sighed, “You should do so. She didn’t even come back when your grandfather passed away. I know you also have a difficult life in the city. Why there was no one from your husband’s family came to visit? They must look down upon you because you’re all alone.”

The elder hurriedly stared at that man and said, “Don’t talk about nonsense.”

Katherine compressed her lips and knew it was inappropriate for her to visit her grandfather alone.

People from the Grant family had never come to her village.

However, at that time, old Mr. Grant was also in a dangerous situation and the hospital had sent him to the emergency room for many times. There was no time for them to mind her business.

The elder glanced at Katherine and asked, “Kathy, do you have a hard time there?”

Katherine raised up her eyes and replied, “No. I have opened a store by myself and have a good income. I am fine.”

Aunt Kelly brought the food in and said, “Well, everyone, Katherine must be tired. Let her have a good rest. We can come to visit her later. She won’t leave in a short time.”

Those people all stood up and told Katherine to take care of herself.

They were all in the same village and everybody was kind.

Katherine sent them away and went back to her room.

A frame was hanging on the wall with Katherine and her grandfather’s old photo.

Katherine was about twelve years old at that time. She was sitting on her grandfather’s legs. Her grandfather hair hadn’t turned all white then and was smiling towards the camera.

Katherine touched her belly and watched the photo for a long time. Then she said to her baby, “See, that’s the man who guards me for more than twenty years. You should remember him, your great grandfather.”

Katherine ate some food and lied down.

She was really exhausted after climbing the mountain.

She woke up by the ring at night. She didn’t see who was calling and picked it up, “What’s up?”

It was Marshall, saying, “Katherine.”

Katherine greeted. However, Marshall only called her name again and stopped talking.

Katherine was still drowsy and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Marshall said nothing after a while. It seemed quiet on his side.

Katherine didn’t think too much and replied, “I am sleeping. Hang it up if you don’t have anything.”

Marshall said yes and hanged up the phone.

Katherine hanged up the phone and took a nap.

After she woke up, she actually didn’t have anything important to do. She tidied the room for a while and sat on her bed, dazing. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Although life was different and inconvenient here, it could make her calm down.

Katherine went to the yard, sat on chair and looked up at the dark sky.

She was relieved that Margaret was there to guard the store. She didn’t want to go back after having a baby.

If the Grant family knew about her pregnancy, they might still not take her in, but grabbed her child from her.

She had no intention to start over with Marshall and was unwilling to be apart with her child.

She wanted to live with her child peacefully in this village.

Trouble might occur in the process. Marshall was smart and found out what happened. Besides, villagers would also notice if she didn’t leave.

Katherine turned around and went back until there was no light in any house.

She slept well this night because of getting too tired in the day.

It was already late morning when she woke up by noises outside.

Aunt Kelly knocked the door in a loud voice, saying, “Kathy, Kathy, come out, hurry up.”

Katherine went to open the door with clouded eyes, asking, “Auntie, what’s going on?”

Aunt Kelly stared at her with delight, saying, “Kathy, your family is here.”

Katherine was stupefied and didn’t know what she meant.

Her family was here?

There was nothing but herself in the family.

Finding Katherine was still drowsy, aunt Kelly grabbed her hand and went outside, “Have a look. Is that your husband? He drives here.”

Katherine was still confused and didn’t know what was going on. She was dragged by aunt Kelly to the village entrance.

There was already a great deal of people in the village. Aunt Kelly shouted to let them give way, “Come on, Kathy’s here.”

A car parked behind the crowd. A man was standing by the car, fatigued with the journey.

Katherine found herself frozen in astonishment. She started at Marshall and asked, “Why are you here?”

Marshall seemed to be exhausted, replying, “I am worried about you. That’s why I am here.”
