CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 47

When Katherine was ordering the food, she raised her head several times to ask Marshall's opinion. Then she saw someone seated not far away from them.

It was a man.

Other people were eating quietly, only he was acting weird.

He had been keeping his eyes on her and Marshall.

Katherine didn't know if he was together with the woman from the morning.

She gave the menu to Marshall and said, "Do you need anything else?”

Marshall nodded.

Katherine then whispered, "Ten o’clock position, that person seems suspicious, right?”

Marshall kept his eyes on the menu and said, "He took photos of us when we sat down.”

Indeed he was suspicious.

Katherine nodded and didn't say anything else.

They ordered few dishes and have the waiter put away the menu.

And now, alone time for Katherine and Marshall

They didn't know what was taking Peter so long? He has gone for some times now.

Katherine felt awkward. She tried to find a topic, "What should I do if I want to help you?"

What next?

Marshall thought for a while. They might need to live in the same room again.

Coming here with his wife, two rooms, no matter how you explain this, it sounded strange.

Marshall didn't say that. "I'm not sure yet... I have to see what WF group’s people were up to first. If they made no move, then you don’t have to do anything. Just keep our divorce a secret."

Katherine nodded, indicated that she understood it.

It turned silent again.

Katherine started feeling confused about herself.

She didn't have such issues with Marshall before.

Even after the divorce, she could seduce him while being drunk that day.

But she felt everything so awkward today.

She didn't know why.

Peter had been gone for quite a while, and finally he came back with two fruit dishes. He humped his back and walked over. After he putted the plates on the table, he moaned, "I don't know what's going on with my stomach, but I don't feel very well. I think it has to do with the water that Louie passed me."

Katherine frowned and said, "I gave Louie the water, and he just passed it directly to you.

Peter wailed, "Anyway... I just don't feel very well. It hurts a lot."

Marshall didn't seem worried at all, on the contrary, he looked quite calm and said, "Do you need to go back to your room?"

Peter nodded immediately. "Yes, I don't feel well. I have to get back to my room."

Katherine now understood what Peter was doing.

She leaned back and said. “I get it, stop acting already, you suck at it.”

Peter was still supporting himself on the table. He didn't feel embarrassed at all even after Katherine had seen through his act. He continued, “No no no…. I have to hurry back. You two enjoy yourself, excuse me first..."

He stood up right and left. Then he moaned and walked out of the diner with his hands covering his belly.

Katherine sneered and turned aside to look at Marshall.“Does he have some kind of misunderstanding about us? I just think that he is too stubborn sometimes.”

Marshall shared her feeling. He got up and sat across the table without saying a word.

Katherine raised her eyes and looked at Marshall, “The one who drugged you, was it the one I saw at the beach that day?”

Marshall was surprised because he never expected that Katherine would ask that.

He was silent for a while before answering, "Yes."

Katherine laughed and murmured, "I knew it."

She could tell the woman was going after Marshall.

Women knew each other the best.

Marshall didn't say anything and Katherine continued, “She’s okay looking, you can actually…."

She then stopped and teased Marshall. She gave Marshall a look to show what she meant.

Marshall stared at Katherine. The frown on his face appeared and disappeared

Katherine had a smile on her face. "You're single now. It's normal if you have done that.”

Marshall then frowned and replied decisively, "I had no feelings for her."

He would never touch a woman who he had no feelings for.

It would be a torture for him if he had to do that.

Katherine’s dimple appeared when she smiled, "Well... are you saying that you have feelings for me?"
