CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 180

Katherine blinked, "You're feeling sick? Which part?"

She tiptoed and touched the forehead of Marshall.

His temperature was normal and nothing seemed quite wrong with his body.

Marshall took a step backwards and dodged Katherine's hand.

Somehow, he could not exactly describe which part of his body was going wrong. He just felt sick, no matter from head to foot or from the inside to outside of his body.

As she saw Marshall escape, Katherine realized that her movement was a little inappropriate and embarrassing.

She offered an awkward smile to defuse the embarrassment. Then, she took a few steps backwards, "Well, so...have you been to the hospital?"

Marshall tightened the cap and turned back to the staircase with the water bottle in his hands, "No need for that. I can just have a rest."

Katherine hummed to respond and then remained silent.

As he was walking up the stairs, he suddenly stopped, looked down at Katherine and said, "It seems that you're getting along pretty well with Hector, aren't you?"

Katherine was stunned, and then nodded to give a seemingly firm response, "Indeed, we are pretty much in a good relationship."

She had already been to the company of Bennett family  and offered support to Hector, which exactly meant that they were getting along well.

What's more, she had previously been considering Hector as one of her friends, and today's experience would definitely tighten their friendship.

It was thus reasonable to say they were pretty much in a good relationship.

Marshall sneered, "How long have you guys been acquainted? Do you really understand how a complicated relationship the Bennett have?"

Katherine nodded with firmness, "I understand. Hector has told me everything, including his siblings and the affair between his parents."

She then continued, "And indeed, the things about his family are much more than complicated. Before, I thought that your family was already complicated enough, while now it seems that the situation of Bennett family  is a real mess. Your family is just nothing more than a big family, in which everyone is seemingly in a good relationship with each other. However, things are totally different in Bennett family ."

Marshall was a bit surprised and looked at Katherine interestingly, "Well, he does have told you everything, doesn't he?"

Katherine failed to read the sarcastic tone between the lines of Marshall, and continued, "Sure, we are close friends, and so there is no need for us to hide anything."

Then, Marshall raised his feet and continued going upstairs. He added, "Hey, I found that I had really underestimated you before, Katherine."

"What? What do you mean by that?" Katherine frowned.

Marshall remained silent after then, walking upstairs and going into his room.

Something seemed to be inside of his head and bothering him, as he even locked himself in the room.

In fact, Katherine would not come over whether he locked the door or not.

Katherine stood on the first floor for a while. Then, she flowered the flowers and got into her room as well.

After taking a bath, she dried her hair and then laid on the bed.

Replete, she was now able to go to bed and have a sleep — she felt as if she was in haven.

Not after a while, she fell asleep.

Marshall went out of the room after a while.

He went to the backyard, frowning at the two rows of different flowers placed on the shelve.

The influence of what had happened was increasingly spreading wider and wider online. However, he was not exactly worrying about that.

Every time he saw those news titles related to it, he recalled the day when he was doped, and, naturally, everything happened between him and Katherine in the lounge.

The more he thought it over in his head, the more detailed he could recall the story, which almost drove him crazy.

Katherine took out his cigarette case, extracted one from it and put it in his mouth.

Without lightened, the cigarette was just hanging from his lips.

Actually, he was not a chain smoker. 

Most of the time, he was just playing up to his business partners on the dining table, and he even somehow disliked the smell of cigarettes.

Standing in the backyard, he turned to the doorway.

He had previously witnessed everything when Hector drove Katherine back here.

At the moment when Hector rolled down the window, he could clearly see the face of him — it was quite a nice-looking one, even much more handsome than his little brother Patrick, who was a little younger than him.

It would not be strange if he saw Katherine was tugged at the heart getting alone with the man.
