CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 293

Katherine didn't even understand what Peter meant by this comment.

She didn't have much involvement in the decoration, so he definitely wasn't referring to that.

After thinking about it, Katherine sent a message directly to Peter.

She asked him what the comment meant.

Peter immediately called her back, and she froze and answered.

Peter was laughing, “Katherine, you really surprised me, you got something on you.”

This was not sarcasm, but sounded like a real compliment.

Katherine was confused, “Did I do something I wasn’t aware of?”

Peter asked, “You still do not know, do you? Then I secretly tell you and you can’t tell others, promise? It’s just between us, and not a word should be got out.”

Katherine felt that he was nagging, “Hurry up and say it. You know me.”

Peter cleared his throat and then said, “I heard elder Mr. Grant on the phone today.”

Elder Mr. Grant referred to Marshall’s father.

Katherine did not say anything, listening to Peter continue to say, “He seems to have called Mrs. Grant and said that they can’t live together anymore, and explained that it wasn't just because of something happened to you.”

Peter gave a low chuckle, “Did he want a divorce? Although he said it wasn’t just because of something that happened to you, I think it has something to do with you. That's why I say you are kind of awesome. You divorced your husband, and your ex-husband's parents are going to get a divorce either.”

Katherine sneered a bit, “This should not have anything to do with me. I think his mother did this to herself. Marshall’s father has a good temper, only he can put up with her. Others would not want her.”

After saying that, Katherine was still a bit curious, “Anyway, do this old couple also want to catch a divorce tide?”

“I can't figure it out either. You’ve already divorced Marshall, if elder Mr. and Mrs. Grant divorce too, it just as a bomb explodes.” Peter clicked his tongue, “I estimate that the two of them should be separated first, and divorce, if any, will be delayed for a period of time.”

Katherine thought so either.

She felt a little pity, “Honestly, I kinda want to see what it's like when Marshall’s mom gets dumped by his dad.”

That old woman always looked down on her, she would like to see what that woman would end up like.

Since they were talking on the phone, Katherine asked how Peter’s work recently. And in fact, she just asked by the way.

It turned out he misunderstood and thought she wanted to inquire about how Marshall was doing. So he answered, “These days the Henderson family didn’t come to the company in times of stress. Clara is more unlikely to come over, just occasionally call Marshall. You can rest assured that even if they do call, calling is not a good way to cultivate a relationship.”

Katherine stroked her forehead, “Alright, stop. I don’t want to hear anything about Marshall.”

Katherine didn't want to hear it, but Peter still wanted to say it. He sighed, “Your ex-husband is not having a good time these days. You didn’t see his cranky face that I have never seen before.”

Although Marshall had never been a good temper, he usually knew how to restrain himself.

He used to have that poker face all the time.

But now it's different, now he liked to smash things.

Many times when he went to Marshall's office, as soon as he opened the door, he saw documents being thrown on the floor, and Marshall was standing over by the window smoking.

His annoyance was obvious.

He's not the same as before.

Katherine frowned, “Why are you telling me about this? It has nothing to do with me.”

Peter laughed in a low muffled voice, “Fine, if you said so. In fact, I think that your ex-husband is also self-inflicted. You should leave him alone.”

Katherine thought for a moment and changed the subject, “I went to the shop earlier, it seems that the decoration is almost done.”

Peter responded, “Yes, it should be done within two days after I take care of the details. Then you need to get the room ventilated for a few days. Although we used environmentally friendly materials, it’s more or less harmful to the body.”

Katherine nodded, “Okay, I know. When it is completely finished there, tell me and I will pay you for the work.”

Peter hurriedly said, “Your ex-husband has already paid in advance and you don’t have to pay me again.”

Katherine asked. This was exactly what she did not want to see.

Still, she said, “Tell me how much, I’ll give it back to Marshall. I really don't need him to do this, it is better to draw a clear line between us.”

Peter paused for a moment before saying, “When it's all done, I'll ask him. If you insist on returning the money to him, it's your decision. Let's see.”

Katherine agreed. She rambled with Peter for a few minutes, and hung up the phone.

She had nothing better to do than to go online and read the news on the Internet.

After the cold treatment, the heat of news about the Grant family finally cooled down.

Although there were still people who were adding comments, the increase was obviously small.

And recently Marshall and Clara were each busy with their own company affairs. They were photographed by the media several times, both in a glamorous state.

So there's nothing new in this report, except that the two people didn't seem to be affected by the public opinion.

In this way, it seemed that what happened before was really just catching at the shadow.

Katherine smiled and put the phone down. This thing should soon be over, and her life would be able to get on track.

On the other side, Marshall went straight home from work.

Khalid arrived home one step ahead of him.

When he entered the living room and looked around, old Mrs. Grant spoke up, “Don't bother looking, your mother didn't come over.”

Marshall glanced at his father, and before he could ask anything, his father spoke up, “Your mother is at your grandmother's house. Today we agreed to get a divorce certificate next Monday. We’ll keep it quiet and find a better time to announce the news.”

Marshall pursed his lips but did not say a word.

Khalid didn’t look good, probably because he felt bad that he had to get a divorce at this age.

Old Mrs. Grant sighed and said to Khalid, “You do not need to think so much now. If Frances could change, there are still chances that you two get back together, but if not, there’s nothing to regret.”

Marshall stood for a while, turned around and went to the dining room. He didn't have a single comment about his father and mother's divorce.

They were adults, they knew exactly what they were doing.

They experienced so much more than him and didn’t need him to give advice or comment at all.

Khalid then followed into the dining room.

He had little appetite, and turned to go out again after taking a look at what’s on the table, “I have no appetite for this.”

Marshall stared at the dishes on the table and also felt tired of it.

Still, he didn't leave, just spoke, “Next time don’t make this, and I’ve had it enough.”

The maid next to him hurriedly nodded.

Old Mrs. Grant looked at the plate in front of Marshall, looked at the beef on the plate, and then laughed silently.

Marshall didn’t say a word when having dinner with old Mrs. Grant. In fact, it can be seen that he was not in a very good mood.

Old Mrs. Grant spoke first, “By the way, I received an invitation from the Walters family today. The old lady of the family is going to have her 80th birthday. It seems to be a big event, do you want to go with me?”

Marshall always did not like to participate in this kind of banquets, frowned at the words, “I think I’ll pass.”

Old Mrs. Grant nodded, not persuading him, she just said to herself, “Kyle may go. I heard that Mr. Haverford intends to introduce his disapproving son to celebrities.”

Marshall froze and then raised his eyes to look at old Mrs. Grant.

Old Mrs. Grant bowed her head and did not look at Marshall, “Last time I saw Kyle, he seems to get along very well with Katherine.”
