CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 169

Katherine didn’t mention anything about why Marshall had gone for such a long time. She simply responded, “I found it was a bit boring inside and came out.”

Marshall took the bandage in her hands and squatted down.

Katherine’s gown so long that completely covered her feet.

Marshall lifted her skirt and squeezed her feet.

Katherine felt a bit itchy and dodged it.

However, Marshall hurriedly said, “Don’t move. Let me help you.”

Katherine tilted her head to observe Clara, who was not far away.

Clara was simply looking at Marshall with an expression that was hard to tell. She was against the street lamp and concealed herself in the dark.

Katherine curled up her lip and fixed her eyes on her. Then she said words loud enough for Clara to hear, “Ouch, it’s a bit hurt.”

Marshall would simply ignore her. However, he seemed to be guilty tonight for talking with Clara for a long time and responded her.

Actually, Katherine didn’t know how long she had been waited, but it seemed to be a long time before Marshall came.

He must be chatted with Clara for a long time and it was natural for him to feel guilty.

Marshall helped Katherine to band up.

Only one of Katherine’s feet was hurt, but Marshall still took out the bandage from his pocket and band her other foot. Then he carefully put on her shoes.

Katherine’s eyes were always fixed on Clara. The latter one couldn’t help walking towards them when Marshall was helping Katherine to put on the shoes.

Katherine could finally see her expression when she got closer. She couldn’t believe her gaze contained doubt and also jealousy, which made Katherine feel so great. She won this round again.

When Marshall put on Katherine’s shoes, he also helped her to tidy up the dress.

He then stood up and said, “Maybe you can try to walk. It would be better.”

Katherine stood up and grabbed his arm to walk several steps, saying, “It’s much better.”

She also smiled to thank him.

She could find Marshall was a bit awkward, but Katherine was so delighted inside for knowing how to hurt Clara’s heart.

Marshall was not an awful man. He simply didn’t love her.

When he had done inappropriate things to Katherine, more generous she behaved, more guilty he would be.

Katherine turned around to look at Clara and said, “Hi, Miss Henderson.”

Clara replied, “I happened to meet Mr. Grant and we talked for a while.”

Katherine then said in a slow tune, “Well.”

Marshall knew Katherine had stomach problem and didn’t have dinner yet.

He suggested, “Let’s go to take you to eat something. The party will last for hours and you must be starving.”

Katherine nodded and turned to look at Clara.

Marshall also turned to look at her.

Clara seemed to be finally sobered and said, “You can go together. I have to find my father to see whether he finishes working or not.”

Marshall nodded and took Katherine away.

Katherine turned around to look at her on the halfway, finding she was standing alone and looking towards their way. Maybe it was her lonesome figure that made Marshall easy to talk with.

Marshall took Katherine back to the party and headed for the buffet zone.

Food here only had fruits and desserts.

Katherine had some desserts and didn’t think they were of good taste.

Marshall searched everywhere and found there was nothing she could eat, which made him really helpless.

However, Katherine smiled and said, “I am fine. Can you help me to call the waiter for a glass of hot water?”

Katherine had years of stomach problem. She didn’t have dinner and accompanied Marshall for a glass of Champaign, which made her stomach ache seriously.

Marshall signed and said, “Wait for me. I will be back soon.”

Katherine didn’t ask but nodded. Then she waited beside the dessert table.

Marshall left and gradually disappeared behind the pillar on the corner.

Without Marshall around, nobody would notice her.
