CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 401 You Guys Be Good

Katherine’s mind instantly went blank. After staring at Marshall for a while woodenly, she asked, “How did you find here?”

Marshall let out a sigh, “Could you let me first go home and rest for a bit. I drove for a long time and now feeling exhausted.”

One of the villagers hurriedly came over, “Katherine, is this your husband?”

Katherine gazed at Marshall and remained silent like she hadn’t heard the villager’s question.

Marshall on the other hand beamed, “Hi, folks. I meant to come home with Kathy, but something suddenly went wrong in the company and I got stalled. She was quite in a hurry, so just went home herself. It really took me a long time to get here.”

Those villagers certainly didn’t know what exactly happened and said hurriedly, “Sure, you must be tired. Go home and take a rest.”

Marshall got on the car and Katherine followed after she was nudged by aunt Kelly.

She seemed to have just come to herself and led the way for Marshall stiffly till he finally made it to the old house.

Sitting in the car, the pair didn’t get out instantly. Marshall exhaled a breath, “I’m really sorry that I didn’t come here sooner.”

Katherine was still muddle-headed and answered lowly, “You got nothing to be sorry for.”

Marshall got out of the car and saw that rather shabby house.

But he didn’t seem to despise and just walked in.

The room was even more empty with no passable furniture inside.

Marshall scanned around and saw that photo in Old Mr. Jordan’s bedroom.

Katherine stood by the door, “What are you doing here?”

Instead of answering the question, Marshall stared at the photo, “I’ve never seen the little you.”

Katherine was in a half-new dress and wearing ponytails in the photo. One can tell right away that she came from a rather poor family.

But she beamed innocently.

Old Mr. Jordan was still young at that time and was hugging Katherine lovingly.

Marshall actually didn’t remember what Old Mr. Jordan looked like for he just met him several times. He was already emaciated by the time.

Leaning against the door frame, Katherine was a bit on edge. Not in a million years would she expect Marshall to be here.

Marshall examined for a while and smiled, “Where is grandpa’s grave. I want to pay my tribute.”

“There is no need of that.” Katherine straight replied, “You are in no position to do that.”

Looking at Katherine, Marshall found that Katherine had lost the edge and looked rather listless.

Marshall walked towards her and touched her face, “You must have suffered a lot these days.”

Katherine dodged and didn’t say anything.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Marshall looked around, “Have you had anything yet. I learned a few dishes recently and can fix you one.”

Katherine still remained silent. Marshall just went to the kitchen himself.

But before he could do anything, the villagers walked in.

Well, it was pretty rare that a stranger would come to this village, so all the residents were pretty curious about Katherine’s husband, especially it was said that he was quite well-off.

Marshall knew that these people were coming for him and immediately greeted.

He had seen all sorts of people in the business world, so it was pretty easy to get around with these villagers.

Katherine just stood in the room and looked out through the window.

Marshall greeted those seniors to sit down and answered their questions one by one politely and calmly.

Katherine went to sit on her bed.

It looked like that she had to change her plan again. Now that Marshall was here, she can’t stay here long.

Katherine didn’t know what Marshall said outside, but one of the grandpas came in and held Katherine’s hand saying thanks and praising Marshall a good person.

Katherine smiled along and was pretty awkward as she didn’t have a clue of what happened.

All the people in the yard were shaking Marshall’s hand and praising him.

The grandpa dragged Katherine outside and said that she should be good with Marshall and don’t be at odds with each other.

Katherine frowned and looked at Marshall who hugged Katherine’s shoulders smilingly, “Certainly. Rest assured. She is the boss in our home.”

The villagers left in a while.

Katherine asked in a muffled voice, “What did you say to them? Why were they all complimenting you?”

Marshall grinned and went back to the room, “Well, nothing else. I said that I would donate money to pave roads.”

Katherine froze.

The roads in the village were all unsurfaced and were really hard to get in and out.

Since this was a small village, there was no school here. All children had to go to school outside the county on foot. It can still pass if it was a lovely weather, but it could really get difficult for them if it was under horrible weather.

Katherine pondered for a while, “That’s very kind of you.”

Marshall grinned, “It’s really a bumpy trip for me.”

Then he checked all the groceries in the kitchen, “You don’t really have much materials here. I can get some noodles for you.”

Katherine really didn’t have much appetite now and was pretty distressed by Marshall.

Marshall had never used a kitchen hearth before and can’t get the hang of it for a long time.

Katherine had no choice but to help him kindle the fire.

Though Marshall was quite clumsy, Marshall still got the noodles done.

He waited for a while and walked into the yard. There was a lot of stuff in his car trunk.

He carried the bags in and said himself, “I rented a car and it’s really underdeveloped in this part of country, so I grabbed a few items in a nearby supermarket as backups. Well, it sure is useful.”

He bought a lot of instant food like canned beef and ham sausage which can go well with the meals.

He put the food on the hearth and looked through them, “I’m quite foresighted, aren’t I? I even bought all these pickled veggies.”

He took a few out, “This can go with the noodles.”

Katherine didn’t say anything, but she got to admit that she was more secure now that Marshall was here.

After the noodles was ready, Marshall first got Katherine one bowl and then put the veggies near here, “Which one do you like?”

Katherine glanced at them.

She always loved seaweeds, so she ripped open one of them.

But Katherine instantly felt revolting the second she opened the bag.

She really can’t bear the smell and just bolted out of the room and started throwing up in a corner.

Marshall was taken aback by Katherine’s reaction.

He hurriedly followed out and patted Katherine on the shoulder, “What’s wrong? Is it expired? Are you feeling discomfort because of the smell?”

Katherine waved her hand and can just feel something churning up and down in her stomach.

Marshall couldn’t relate the vomit and pregnancy at all, and said, “You must be exhausted and your stomach is acting up again. I will get you some pills later and you would feel much more comfortable.”

Katherine refused, “No, I don’t want to have pills.”

Marshall sighed and soothed her, “You would feel terrible if you don’t take them. Don’t you know how much you’ve suffered because of your stomach troubles all these years?”

Katherine didn’t say anything and got some water from kitchen to rinse her mouth, “You can go on with your meal. I’ll be fine in a while.”

The morning sickness always overwhelmed her all of a sudden but left her a while later.

Katherine waited for a while and then returned to the room.

There was no dining room in this house and just a table in the kitchen.

Katherine walked near the table and said, “Put away that seaweed. I can’t stand its smelling.”

Marshall nodded and hurriedly put it on the shelf by the door.

Katherine took a few deep breathes and felt much better.

She went over and then resumed eating noodles.
