CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 48

Marshall was obviously confused.

He stared at Katherine and didn't answer immediately.

Katherine giggled. She kept the voice down to herself and said, "You said you wouldn't touch a woman you had no feelings for, but what you have done to me..….”

She raised her brows and putted on a smile.

Marshall looked at Katherine and sneered after a long while.

He leaned back and crossed his legs, "You're different compared to others.”

"Oh?" Katherine softly said, “Different? In what way?”

Marshall put a hand on his leg and tapped without acknowledgment,"I'm used to your body. That's why I didn't hate it.”

So it meant that, with me, it was okay to have no feelings.

Katherine sneered. She leaned forward and held her chin up using her palm. She looked quite coquettish now. "What's your plan for the future? Will this be the only body that you are used to in this life?”

She said it in such an innocent way, but that sounded so sarcastic.

Katherine had realized that. But that actually felt good.

What she was doing and saying now, she would never dare to have done it before.

The Grant family had lots of rules. And for her, there were even more.

She was cautious every day, afraid of her action might bring embarrassment for the Grants.

She feared nothing now, because no one could constrain her anymore.

Marshall emotionless and said. "You're thinking too much. There will be other women in the future.”

Katherine looked at Marshall for quite a while and nodded. "Yeah... there would always be other women."

Didn’t know what she had in her mind just now. She then said, "It's nice to hear."

The waiter served the food and putted one dish at a time onto the table.

Actually, Katherine didn’t have much appetite

Marshall added a soup in their order, he pushed the dish towards Katherine.

Katherine lowered her eyes and said, “Thanks."

Marshall replied, "It's nothing.”

In fact, the attitude towards Katherine was better than when they were still married

He had been ignoring her all the time, now he was at least polite to her.

Katherine glanced at the man who had taken sneak shot photos of them. She could see the man putted his phone down while they were eating.

The camera was pointing at Marshall and Katherine at all time.

She wasn't sure if he was taking a photo or a video.

Katherine thought about it and scooped some soup. She blew it and tried to feed Marshall.

Marshall paused and looked at Katherine.

She smile and said, "Just drink it, somebody's watching.”

The two had never been so intimate before. Both of them felt a bit weird doing so.

Marshall looked down at the spoon. Then he opened his mouth and drank the soup.

Katherine was so happy as if the prank succeeded.

She lowered her head and continued on eating,"We haven't sat down and eat together for a long time... except for the day we got divorced."

Marshall didn't reply.

Before the divorce, he had always been busy.

He was so busy and anxious when old Mr. Grant passed away. He didn't have any time for Katherine.

After he had handled Grandpa's funeral, then he got all caught up in the company business.

He knew, it had been quite a long time for him to sat down and enjoy a meal together with Katherine.

Waited until all the business was taken care of, he made time for Katherine, but was to mention about the divorce.

It seemed that Katherine didn't care about what had happened. She said, "When I was a child, I pictured about what my future husband and how he would be like. “I always wanted somebody who could be there for me. Then I married you, but you're far from that…"

She took a sip of the soup. "And you say that you wanted a divorce, I think, well…"

She seemed to have hesitated for a second. Then her voice sounded so cheerful. "I thought my spring, the best days in my life is coming. I could finally live the life that I always wanted."

She said and giggled to herself.
