CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 91

Maybe Katherine’s tone sounded playful.

Lucas then laughed out loud.

Katherine turned around and looked at Lucas, “Do you think I’m lying?”

Lucas nodded, “Yes.”

Katherine shrugged, “Then there’s nothing I can do.”

They both continued walking in the bamboo forest for a short while before Katherine stopped.

She said, “It is true that your brother and I did not get divorced. We had initially planned to get a divorce. But to begin or end a marriage is not easy. So, we decided to give our marriage another chance.”

She then laughed, “So, do you believe me now?”

Lucas stood there and thought for a while, “I think it is more believable now.”

Katherine laughed, “Because that’s the truth.”

Due to the higher elevation of the bamboo forest, they were able to view the entire courtyard of the Grant family.

Katherine said, “The Grant Family is wealthy, look at how much space this old building takes up.”

Lucas muttered in agreement, “All I can say is that we’re lucky to have a better life, we know how to be reborn.”

‘That’s true.’ Katherine fell silent.

There’s too much unfairness in this world

Where one is born determines their destiny.

Some people were born into wealthy families, just like Marshall and Lucas.

Even if they didn’t work hard, they would still achieve things that others couldn’t achieve even with a lifetime of hard work.

And some people were born into unhealthy and broken families.

Just like Katherine.

As a child, Katherine had to endure a lot. Now that she’s all grown up, she still hadn’t reaped any benefits from all the suffering she had gone through.

So, all those inspirational words were all a lie.

Lucas turned his head towards Katherine, “Whatever I said might have been too much, but this is the reality.”

“Yes, it was a bit cruel.” Kathrine sighed.

If you see the Grant house from here, you could see the layouts clearly.

The main building occupied the largest area.

Katherine still couldn't understand what’s the point of living in such a large space.

What would happen if someone were to suddenly have stomach pains in the yard…?

What if that person couldn’t make it in time to the bathroom…?

Yeah, that would be very embarrassing indeed.

Thinking about this, Katherine felt a little bit better.

Normal people wouldn’t think about such problems that rich people had to face.

They both stood there quietly, not uttering a single word until it became dark outside.

Katherine waved her hand, “Let’s head back, it’s getting late, if you killed me here, no one would ever know, which is scary. Let’s hurry up.”

Lucas laughingly looked at Katherine.

Katherine took out her phone and turned on the flashlight.

Following the direction of the light, they walked towards the exit of the forest.

Lucas who was following Katherine said, “I don’t remember you being like this back then.”

Katherine said, “Ah! Do you mean I’ve become more beautiful?”

Lucas smiled and kept quiet.

Reaching the house, they entered through the back door. Katherine told Lucas, “Remember to put the ladder over there, I’ll head off first.”

Not waiting for Lucas’ reply, Katherine quickly left.

Lucas stood there, looked at Katherine’s back. His smile slowly faded away.

Just as Katherine reached the garden, she saw Marshall Grant approached her.

Marshall seemed to be looking for her and his expression was worried.

Katherine smiled and cheekily greeted Marshall.

Marshall looked at Katherine and said, “Where have you been? It’s already late, why aren’t you in your room?”

Finding Marshall’s words funny, Katherine replied, “Where else could I have been? I have only been in this old building. what else could happen?”

Marshall didn’t reply and his expression did not soften too.

Katherine let out a sigh and stopped talking to Marshall. She continued walking towards the main building.

Marshall followed behind her.

There was no one left in the living room.

Everyone must have gone back to their room and rested.

Katherine and Marshall went upstairs in single file.

Katherine was the first to reached her room.

She pushed the door open but stopped after thinking for a moment.

Katherine turned her head and looked at Marshal, “Did you went outside just to look for me?”

Marshal didn’t utter a word and walked towards his room.

Katherine whispered to Marshal, “You needed me for something? Or do you want to try out this bed together to see if it is comfortable or not?”

Marshall stopped when he heard Katherine’s words.

Katherine laughed, “I don’t think so, I’m not in the mood today.”

Saying that Katherine entered her room and shut the door.
