CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 98

Who knew if Marshall believed what Katherine said. He kept staring at her, his expression complex. She didn't feel guilty at all while staring back at him. After a while, he stopped ad looked away. “About Carson’s family, try to avoid them as much as possible. Our relationship in the family is a little... complicated.”

Whether it was complicated or not, Katherine did not care at all. She was not part of the Grant family. The complicated relationships in the family had nothing to do with her.

She did not say anything while waiting for Marshall to get off work. Peter did not come, so Marshall and Katherine left the office together. When they walked towards the elevator, they bumped into Lucas. It was normal that everyone met at the elevator during this time. Katherine smiled and waved when she saw him. He looked at Marshall then smiled back at Katherine. The exclusive elevator opened and the three of them entered together. Both Katherine and Marshall stood toward the backwhile Lucas stood near the elevator door. She suddenly remembered what Marshall told her and didn't strike up a conversation, closing her mouth.

However Lucas turned around and looked at Katherine, “Where are you two going to eat later?”

Katherine blinked, “I’m not sure either.”

She looked up at Marshall, “Where are we going to eat later?”

Marshall seemed to be stationary. He looked down a little at Katherine but he remained silent. Katherine did not understand what he was trying to say. Based on his expression, he seemed to be unhappy? Yet, why would he be? Katherine pursed her lips and looked at him. He just ignored her so she held onto his arm and started acting shyly. She looked up at him with puppy dog eyes.

“What’s with your long face? He’s asking about where you want to go for lunch.”

When he heard her voice, he couldn't take it at all.

Marshall pinched her cheek, “You’ll know once you reach where we're headed.”

The way he talked and acted did not seem to match with his facial expression. His facial expression was cold, but he sounded very gentle. She grinned a little and hugged his waist instead. She just wanted to take advantage of someone’s presence to make him feel disgusted. She leaned against his arms and smiled.

Half of Lucas’s body was leaning sideways while staring at the electronic screen in the elevator, but he was still able to see them both. Marshall did not push her away and simply looked down at her. She blinked while making a triumphant expression at him. He thought for a while and just stretched his arms around Katherine. He leaned against her and kissed the corner of her mouth. Her treacherous smile suddenly stopped and her expression slowly changed. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something. However, the elevator dinged and its doors opened. Lucas turned around and walked out.

Marshall was still holding Katherine, “Let’s go, I’ll take you for lunch.”

It seemed like he was holding her from the elevator to the outside.

There were many people in the lobby of the first floor, but he didn't care at all. He put his arms around Katherine. His voice sounded deep and low that only two of them could hear each other.

He said, “Stay away from Lucas.”

Katherine frowned, “Why?”

“There’s no reason why.” He replied.

The employees in the lobby were surprised when they noticed both Katherine and Marshall. He usually looked cold-tempered, but he was carrying a smile while talking with her. This was the true love. Their wedding was so lavish but now it seemed like it wasn't just for a show. It could be sentimental. Katherine knew that he was acting however since his facial expression seemed so reluctant.

She simply rubbed on his arms and chuckled, “Are you afraid that I would cheat on you? Don’t worry. I wouldn't be interested if he's not better than you.”

Marshall pursed his lips and brought her into the car. When they got into the car, he tidied up his clothes quickly. Katherine fixed her hair and said “I feel like you're very talented in acting.”

She laughed after she finished her words.
