CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 289

It was indeed Lucas.

Lucas responded and then asked, “Why are you here?”

Marshall didn’t answer and went over.

There was actually nothing in this bamboo forest, not even a place to sit.

Lucas was standing in a clearing, looking at the direction of the Grant family.

The terrain of this place was a little higher, so the view was not bad. They could see the layout of the entire villa of the Grant family.

At night, the lights in the villa were on. The villa’s floor area was really not small if it was seen this way.

Marshall stood beside Lucas, “I didn’t expect you to be here.”

Lucas thought for a while, “I come out for a walk after eating.”

“Oh,” Marshall replied, turned off the light of the phone, and put his hands in his pockets.

After two seconds, Marshall took the initiative to mention the last thing, “You asked me a question in the office that day. I could actually read your lips.”

Lucas was not embarrassed, “Oh? I’m just curious.”

Marshall laughed, “I don’t know exactly what you mean by ‘regret’. Regret getting divorced or regret keeping the divorce secret?”

He paused and then said, “But no matter which one you meant, my answer is actually the same. I don’t regret it, and there is nothing to regret.”

He never thought about other things when he did things. It was really no use regretting something.

If he had time to think about it, he might as well spend his energy to think about what was more beneficial to the current situation.

Lucas smiled silently. His expression flashed away, so Marshall didn’t see it in the night.

Lucas said, “Okay, it’s good that you don’t regret it.”

Looking in the direction of the Grant family’s villa, Marshall repeated, not knowing whether he emphasized it to Lucas or himself, “I don’t regret it. I never regret it.”

This topic passed, and there was a pause for nearly a minute in the middle.

Then Lucas changed the topic, “I heard that you went to receive Martin at noon.”

Marshall said, “I’ve met him before, so I’m kinda familiar with him. My dad had something to take care of at noon, so I went to receive him.”

Lucas seemed to sigh, “I heard that Martin is not a nice guy. Many people who have been in contact with him don’t like him very much.”

Marshall laughed. He didn’t care, “Actually, I don’t have much contact with him. We just talk about cooperation. And I don’t care much about anything else. We only value work and efficiency, don’t we?”

Lucas nodded, “Yes.”

After chatting for a while like this, they kept silent again.

Two minutes later, Lucas checked the time, “It’s getting late. I’ll go back first.”

Marshall said, “I want to stay a little longer. You go first.”

Lucas nodded at him and then slowly walked along the path towards the outside.

Marshall looked at Lucas’ back until he was completely melted into the night, and then he held his expression.

He looked around for a while, ‘Katherine probably came to here last time.’

He put his hand in his pocket and held the phone. After a while, he took the phone out and called Peter.

Peter answered the phone quickly, knowing what Marshall would ask, “Boss, don’t worry. Martin is very honest now, and he will be very honest next.”
