CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 61

Peter was fully aware. He knew what Katherine was thinking the second he saw her pouting face. He glanced at Marshall and said, “What’s the matter, boss? You are not working again, are you? We are here to have fun. Can’t you just chill off a bit from work?”

Marshall turned and looked at Peter, he then put his phone away. He didn’t say anything. Katherine assumed that the person who messaged him must be a woman. But what surprised her was that Marshall replied to the message. Marshall was the type that valued productivity more than anything. He preferred making phone calls than texting messages.

Soon, she felt relieved. Maybe his habits depended on who he was dealing with.He might think it was a waste of time on some people. But when it came to others, they were worth his whiles. Katherine leaned on the chair and laughed.

Peter licked his molar and didn’t say anything either.

They were waiting for a long time for their dishes to be served. They weren’t chatting, and the atmosphere right now was similar to when they were in the cab.

Marshall drank some water and glanced at Katherine. As if he thought about something, he blurted out, “Take your med.”

She had to take some medicine before the meal.

Katherine was taken aback and answered.

She always forgot taking her medicines on time.

Only then she opened her bag slowly and took out rows of pills that were packed in aluminum foil. She snapped several out of the foil.

Peter hissed, “Do you need to take so many pills before a meal?”

Marshall just stared at Katherine’s medication.

Katherine just went for it. She put them all in her mouth and swallowed them with a gulp of water.

She took a deep breath, then turned around and looked at the kitchen.

Marshall asked, “When did it start?”

Katherine was taken aback, she glanced at Marshall when she answered, “About 10 years ago.” She hadn’t hit puberty yet when she first got stomach problems.

Marshall simply nodded and didn’t say anything else. He knew Katherine’s family background. Old Mr. Henderson had told him all before their wedding ceremony.

But even if Mr. Henderson didn’t say anything, members in the Grant family would do a thorough background check.

The owner then served Sashimi. Katherine was all mouth-watering. But Marshall frowned. He could tell that Katherine liked this kind of food, and hence he said, “Don’t eat too much.”

Katherine glanced at Marshall and didn’t say anything.

Peter laughed and said, “He cares for you, he’s afraid that…”

Marshall turned around slowly and looked at him. Peter swallowed the words he was about to say.

They didn’t have to mind the awkward atmosphere that much while they were eating.

Katherine was just stuffing food down her throat.

Peter talked about work stuff sometimes with Marshall. He was curious about what to do with the WF Group. He had already booked the passenger ticket and was going back the day after tomorrow. But he didn’t want to left things hanging.

WF Group pulled a nasty trick on them. They couldn’t just let them off this easily.

Marshall didn’t even look at Peter when he replied, “You will see.”

He was better off by not answering.

Peter was unhappy, he waved his chopsticks around recklessly.

Katherine thought for a bit and said, “Oh right, I saw the woman who drugged you last night. She was looking for you.”

Marshall and Peter were both shocked.

Peter looked at Marshall and said, “She was looking for you again?”

Marshall frowned, “I don’t’ know.”

Katherine said, “Well, I came across her and didn’t hold back so I scolded her in the public. She had got to leave finally”

She then glanced at Marshall and said, “I think Sam sent her over. I don’t know what he is planning.”
