CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 403 You Got To Cherish Her

After going back to home, Marshall asked Katherine to take a rest and he’ll responsible for cooking.

Standing by the door, Katherine would be lying if she said that see wasn’t touched by Marshall’s behavior.

She was actually deeply moved by Marshall coming all the way here as she was perfectly aware how isolated this place was and it must be difficult for him to find the way here.

The sun had gone done now and every household started cooking. Katherine looked around and went out.

Every household had its own little gardens to grow various veggies.

Katherine walked around and got a lot of greens.

These kind of cabbages were everywhere in the village, so nobody was stingy about them.

Katherine brought greens back and Marshall just took them over and started washing them by the well.

It actually looked like they were a real family here.

Katherine then went to the store and bought some rice to start cooking herself.

Fighting back the nausea induced by the oily fume, Katherine hurried the meal.

Marshall hugged her from behind, “I missed you very much the past couple of days.”

Katherine instantly stopped her movement, but instead of struggling, she said, “Marshall, is this because you know you can’t have me anymore, so you would want to keep me more?”

Marshall froze and hissed. It seemed like he was annoyed.

But still, he calmed himself down and said affectionately, “Why are you interpreting my love to you as such a filthy thing? Can’t I just miss you because I love you and want to take care of you?”

Katherine drooped her eyes, “Why do you like me? All you had was hatred and despise towards me in our short-lived marriage. How come you would suddenly say that you have feelings for me after we got divorced?”

Marshall actually didn’t know the answer to this question. Well, love is a tricky thing can be quite incomprehensible.

He didn’t say anything and just stared at Katherine with stubbornness in his eyes.

Katherine thought for a while, “Fine. Let’s stare having dinner. Go set the table.”

Marshall then grabbed some milk and canned fruit from car trunk.

Katherine then opened one of the boxes as she was in need of nutrition now for the baby.

While they were eating, some children came into the yard.

They walked in cringingly and looked inside.

Katherine went to open the door, “What’s wrong, little fella?”

They were around seven and in coarse clothes.

Seeing that Katherine was out, they started giggling shyly.

Katherine pretty much knew what they were up to.

She was just like them when she was little, so she called these kids in and gave away some snacks.

They then scattered away after getting the treat.

Katherine sat back on the chair, “I used to be very poor and wouldn’t have yummy snack all the year round. If we heard that one of the household was having delicacies, we would all flood to his house. It was not like that we wanted to have a bit or anything. We would simply feel satisfied just by looking at them.”

Marshall hadn’t never experienced this kind of life before and can’t quite understand these kids. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Katherine cracked a smiled, “Well, why would I bother? You wouldn’t understand this anyway. Rich people like you would never come to know how tough we poor people are.”

Marshall nodded, “Well, it’s true that I don’t understand this, but I want to get to know you as much as possible. I want to know what your life was like before I know you.”

Katherine smiled wryly, “Marshall, you’ve really changed.”

“Right.” Marshall hurriedly answered, “I’m not who I was before. You are the one who always assumes that I’m up to something, but actually I’m not.”

Katherine stroked her belly with her right hand, “Okay. Let’s start eating.”

After the meal, Katherine made Old Mr. Jordan’s bed and was planning on sleeping on it heralded so that Marshall could have her bed as she was afraid that Marshall would despise sleeping on a died man’s bed.

But Marshall stopped her, “There is no need of this. I’m fine sleeping on grandpa’s bed.”

He even lamented, “He is also my grandpa. I’m not afraid of it.”

Katherine then didn’t try to say anything.

Once the respective room door was shut, there was no way of communicating.

After tossing and turning much, Katherine just dozed off.

But Marshall was having trouble of falling asleep as the bed was too hard and had mildewed.

He waited for a while and went to Katherine’s bedroom in darkness.

Curled up in a ball, Katherine slept soundly.

standing by the door, Marshall gazed at Katherine’s skinny figure and got increasingly softhearted.

How did she plan to live alone in this place if he hadn’t come over.

There was basically nothing in this house.

Marshall felt anxious just thinking about Katherine being in this village herself.

Marshall stared at Katherine for a while and then went back to his room.

Katherine was sleeping on a single bed, otherwise, he would just hug her to sleep.

Katherine didn’t know Marshall’s midnight visit and by the time she woke up the next morning, Marshall had made his bed and gone out.

After freshening up, her phone rang.

She hurriedly went to grab her phone and found that it was Margaret.

She said that she had sent her a picture and wanted her opinion in the man.

Katherine chuckled. “How do you feel about him yourself?”

On the other side of the phone, Margaret looked slightly defeated, but she remained the same tone, “Well, he is okay. After all, I have nothing but appearance to focus on in the preliminary stage. I would only want to know him more if I like his look.”

Katherine nodded, “Right. I’ll see the picture later, but I got to warn you that I’m really not a good judge of character. You can’t rely on my thought too much.”

Margaret chortled and changed the subject, “How are you? Are you tired of living alone?You have to do everything on your own.”

Katherine hesitated a bit and told Margaret how Marshall followed her to the village.

Margaret paused for a few seconds and only came to herself when Katherine called her a few times.

Then she seemed like she was happy for Katherine. “Really? Marshall is sure dependable. How did he find that place? Kathy, don’t let go of him. He’s really sweet to you.”

Katherine was sure clear that Marshall was great to her.

But she can’t just leave everything behind just because he gave her a few candies.

Actually, she wasn’t as generous as she seemed to be. She could be petty.

she would still grind her teeth every time she recalled Marshall’s attitude to her before.

Katherine licked her lips, “Kathryn, if I were you, I would answer his love right away. It’s really difficult to find a guy who is both warm-hearted, handsome and loaded in this world. Marshall is truly outstanding. Don’t be too princess.”

Katherine grinned, “Yeah, got it. I’ll think about your words.”

After hanging up Margaret’s call, Katherine went to check her messages.

It looked like that Margaret shot the picture in secret.

The man was looking at his phone and looked pretty young.

He wasn’t exactly attractive, but was sure fresh.

He was just an average person.

Katherine stared for a while and Marshall came back.

She didn’t even notice that he was here as she was fixating her eyes on the photo.

She was absorbed in her thought and didn’t know how to say to Margaret.

This could be a really tricky thing as it would should fake if she highly appraised this man’s look but would be too harsh if she didn’t say anything.

While she was debating, Marshall leaned towards her and frowned when he saw the picture in her phone, “Who is this man?”
