CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 420 If She Had Known

Margaret looked at Katherine and suddenly thought of something, “Maybe it’s because Marshall can let you feel more secure. He can handle a lot of problems for you and can deliver every one of your demands.”

Katherine looked up, “Security?”

Marshall had never given her any sense of security before for he was pretty mean to her, especially during the time that Old Mr. Grant passed away. Back then, she was constantly fearing that Marshall might bring up the divorce at any seconds.

When exactly did he start giving her a sense of security?

Katherine pondered this question seriously. Well, maybe it started when Marshall followed her to the village.

She was in a bad condition both mentally and physically back then.

Then he just showed up.

Standing by the car, he looked travel-worn and said he was just worried.

Katherine would be lying if she said that she wasn’t moved.

That man endured a long journey to track her down alone.

Of course she was touched since she had some feelings for him.

Leaning against the chair, Margaret seemed like to be joking, “I’m actually into the kind of man like Marshall. He is both good-looking and competent. I wouldn’t have to worry about a thing once I’m with him. He would do everything for me.”

Katherine beamed, “He really isn’t that outstanding. For one thing, he couldn’t do anything about his mother.”

Khalid wasn’t even able to persuade Frances, let alone Marshall.

Katherine started getting upset when she thought about Frances.

She can obviously sense Frances’ care to her, but it was just that she really felt weird since they were always on bad terms.

Margaret and Katherine finished the whole thermos of soup while shooting the breeze.

Katherine leaned against the chair and felt full, “I’ve really had too much.”

Margaret teased, “Well, it looks like the soup that your ex-mother-in-law had sent was really to your taste.”

She then got up and washed the container and gazed at Katherine by the counter, “Eden wanted to take me home to meet his parents, but I’m just unsure. Are we going too fast?”

Eden was that man that she had a blind date with.

Katherine asked, “Do you like him?”

Margaret blinked, “I really don’t know the answer myself. I like him for sure. He is pretty sweet to me and we had a good time together. I was happy.”

She was just uncertain if this kind of feeling was the love that can travel with them their whole life.

She didn’t know if she would regret agreeing to him.

Margaret was really hesitant.

She knew that she suffered a setback from this love thing and was eager to find someone to nurse the wound.

She meant to get to know him a bit and took the whole thing slow, but she was really under pressure now that Eden was quite serious.

Katherine really didn’t know how to help Margaret as she was also in a complete mess.

She thought about what Hector said to her over the phone that day.

Though she was beating around the bush, she was quite clear about herself.

She was only special to Marshall in this love game and had never thought about other people, so she was quite slow-witted to learn Hector’s feeling towards her.

If she had known Hector’s unusual feeling to her, she would have kept a distance from him long ago or would have set everything straight earlier.

Katherine was a bit defeated to think of Hector.

Margaret was also in low spirits.

While it was about noon, there weren’t many customers, Katherine wanted to take a nap in the store.

Margaret wen to patted Katherine on the shoulder, “You can go home and have a rest today. There aren’t many shoppers today. I can handle them on my own. You looked still pretty tired. I got it here.”

Katherine actually felt a bit sorry as she basically let Margaret manage the store alone.

But Margaret clearly didn’t think too much, “Eden will come over later. He’ll help me.”

Katherine beamed, “You got to talk to him heart to heart. You have to let him know what you are thinking about. He wouldn’t know what you are worried about.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Margaret nodded, “Okay, I’ll talk to him later.”

Katherine then stood up and stretched herself. After telling Margaret to pay attention to a few details, she got out of the store.

While she was just getting on the cab, she looked across the street from the mirror subconsciously and happened to see a men taking photos of her in a car with the windows lowered.

Katherine instantly paused and told the driver to stop driving.

She then took out her phone and took a few pictures secretly and then sent the photos to Marshall.

She then told the driver to start driving.

Considering what happened last night, Katherine didn’t think this was a coincidence. That man must be taking her photos deliberately.

Marshall immediately called her and asked what happened.

Katherine actually wasn’t very sure and just said that someone was taking pictures of her outside the store and felt it would be safer to look into this man.

She was pretty afraid now.

Marshall was thinking the same thing and said that the car plate in the photo was pretty clear and should be easy to locate the owner, but Katherine deemed that the car number was probably fake since that man can’t be that blatant.

Marshall was afraid to leave Katherine alone and told Katherine not to hang up the phone.

Sitting at the back seat, Katherine glanced at the driver and agreed.

But she actually felt that nobody would be bold enough to hurt her in the daylight.

When the car pulled over at Katherine’s doorway, the driver just left after getting paid.

Katherine and Marshall were both relieved.

Marshall was really concerned and said that he wanted to hire a bodyguard to follow Katherine from now on.

Katherine hissed and hurriedly rejected since she wouldn’t be able to go to the hospital that way.

She explained that she wouldn’t leave the door these two days and would ask Margaret to manage the store or she would just shut the store.

Marshall felt the idea was pretty great as this would be the safest option to protect Katherine. Those evil people would always fine a loophole to hurt her once she left the house.

Katherine then went into the room and shut all the doors and windows.

Marshall was still busy, so after telling her to be cautious, he hung up the phone.

Katherine went to wash her face and went to bed.

She was really sleepy right now as she had too much before.

Katherine turned over, called Marshall’s name and just drifted off.

It was in the late afternoon when she woke up.

She sat up, looked outside and then grabbed her phone. There were several unanswered calls from Marshall, Kyle and even Frances.
