CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 72

Marshall walked up to Peter’s room. Peter came out of the room right after Marshall had rung the doorbell.

It seemed that he had just finished tidying up the room.

He looked at Katherine stood behind Marshall, “Kathy, do you feel better?”

Katherine stared at Peter and responded after two seconds.

Her reaction time became significantly slower.

Peter let out a sigh, “You have suffered quite enough on this trip.”

Marshall remembered what he had done to Katherine yesterday.

If wasn’t for him, Katherine would not be in such a state.

But then again, it was Katherine who was drunk and went into the bathroom.

She was the one who stood under the shower-head and got all soaking wet.

Marshall shouldn’t be blamed for this.

After that, he lost control of himself. That was his problem.

In that situation, even a normal person would not be able to control themselves.

The three of them entered the elevator. Katherine stood in the back and didn’t say a word.

Her head was tilted to one side. The marks on her neck were very visible.

After taking a glance at the hickeys, Marshall didn’t dare to take a second glance.

He lost control of himself yesterday. The marks were just too obvious.

Peter didn’t pay attention to the marks and only took a look at Katherine. He then looked at Marshall and spoke under his breath, “It looks like Kathy is a bit upset? ”

Marshall gave Katherine a sidelong glance.

She was not upset. It was just that she hadn’t recovered yet.

Marshall spoke, “She might get better after she’s full.”

The three of them went to the restaurant. Katherine also didn’t say a word while they were ordering the food.

He vaguely remembered the last time they came to the restaurant, Katherine was proactive and acted like a person who suddenly became wealthy.

Halfway through ordering the food, Peter looked at Katherine, “Kathy, what would you like to have?”

Katherine blinked her eyes, “I am fine with anything.”

Marshall slightly frowned.

Katherine’s behavior at that moment was similar to how she was behaving before they had gotten divorced.

Quiet, obedient, no temper, and no presence.

Marshall didn’t know why he felt so irritated.

For no reason, he just felt uncomfortable.

He could sense his frustration.

As for Peter, he didn’t sense that something was wrong. After ordering the food, he handed the menu to the waiter.

He was still looking at Katherine, “Today, we are not going sightseeing. We will rest here for one day and board the morning flight tomorrow and return home.”

Katherine acknowledged his words. She probably felt that her response was not satisfactory.

She then nodded her head.

Marshall avoided looking at Katherine. When he looked at her, he felt vexed.

Moments of their lives together kept coming back to his mind.

Those memories were the ones that he wanted to forget the most.

When they were having their meal, Katherine didn’t say anything, and Marshall habitually kept silent. It was so quiet at their table.

Peter was quite emotional, “Since Katherine is sick, I have nobody to talk to.”

Marshall spoke with an audible voice, “If you can channel the energy that you spend on chatting into your work, you will not be in this state now.”

Peter pursed his lips, “I also work hard when I am working.”

Marshall didn’t say anything else.

They had finally finished their meal. Marshall took out the fever reducer and gave it to Katherine, “Take this pill.”

Katherine was very obedient. She took the pill and directly swallowed it without drinking water.

Peter widened his eyes. Marshall froze.

He can not help but handed Katherine the glass of water that is placed beside her hand, “Drink some water.”

Katherine didn’t look at Marshall and drank the water.

She was too obedient. It was unusual that she obeyed his orders diligently.

Peter was quite worried, “Did she have brain damage because of the fever?”

In the past, if Katherine had heard this, she would definitely talk back. However, she didn’t have any response today.

Marshall let out a long breath and said annoyingly, “Let’s get back to our room.”

The three of them returned to their room.

Katherine sat on the bed and looked out of the window.

It seemed that she was looking at something and dozed off.

Peter walked up to Marshall and stood in front of him, “Were you mean to her yesterday? She is terrified of you.”

Marshall scoffed, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Katherine.

Katherine maintained the same position until the medication took effect. She was quite sleepy.

She immediately lay on the bed and closed her eyes.

Peter looked at Katherine, “Did she act like this in the past?”

But she did not act like this when she suffered from gastritis.

Or did she really damaged her brain after having a fever yesterday?

Marshall didn’t say anything. He had no idea how Katherine was like in the past.

It seems that she had not been sick at all when the two were still together.

At least, he had never seen Katherine got sick before.
