CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 311

Marshall calmly said, "When grandpa passed away, I promised him that I would take good care of Katherine. Naturally, I will keep my word."

‘I’ll protect you forever.’ Marshall promised to himself.

Katherine was a little speechless. Here he went again, Katherine was tired of listening to all his cliche.

It was all about Old Mr. Grant every time. Old Mr. Grant also said that he wished them to have a happy marriage. Still, Marshall immediately filed for divorce after grandpa passed away.

Clara thought for a while, and finally spoke. She said, "But Miss Jordan will get remarried some day. Someone else will take care of her for the rest of her life."

Marshall pursed his lips and said nothing.

Katherine looked at Clara.

Clara actually got the point, so Katherine echoed Clara's words for the first time, "It’s true, I will meet someone and get on with my life. I don't really need you stuck in my life, Marshall." She said in an implicit way. If it weren't for the crowds here and for Marshall's dignity, she would not be so implicit.

Marshall looked at Katherine, and asked was that so, then he didn't say anything.

After a while, the waiter came over with warm milk. Marshall signaled the waiter to put it in front of Katherine. Before Katherine could say anything, Marshall said, "Be a good girl. Drink it." He said in a gentle way as if he was coaxing Katherine. She stared at the milk, not wanting to make the situation too embarrassing. She took a sip and felt the temperature, and it was okay. She held her breath and drank it up. The warm milk made her whole body warm. As soon as she finished drinking, Old Mrs. Walters said that the banquet started.

The waiter began to serve dishes one after another.

Katherine was hungry all of a sudden smelling the dishes.

Marshall handed her the chopsticks, "Let’s get started with the hot dishes first."

Kyle didn't have breakfast, and now he was really hungry.

Clara was eating in elegance.

Marshall’s stomach was still full, so he only took a few bites. He leaned back in his chair, and watching Katherine eating.

Katherine always only have a small appetite when having dinner with Marshall’s family before they got divorced because she was afraid that she failed to observe table manners. When they got divorced, she didn't care anymore.

Marshall could tell that Katherine acted like she had never eaten anything before to deliberately upset the Grant. When Katherine was having dinner at home, she was completely normal.

She looked naturally enjoying the food.

Marshall liked watching her eating. In fact, it has been a long time since they had lunch together.

Clara was observing Marshall and found him smiling, and naturally noticed that he kept looking at Katherine.

Mrs. Grant told Clara that Marshall hated Katherine, but it didn’t seem so. Clara felt complicated when thinking of Mrs. Grant. They have been in touch a lot recently, but Mrs. Grant seemed to have lost her enthusiasm.

In the past, Mrs. Grant often invited Clara to her house and Clara refused at that time. And now, Clara mentioned to visit Mrs. Grant several times, but Mrs. Grant turned down for all sorts of reasons.

Clara was not stupid; she can obviously feel something was wrong.

Clara looked up at Marshall, "I wanted to visit auntie, it has been a long time since we last met. I don’t know if auntie will be home tomorrow. She asked me over a few days ago. I have not had time. Since you are here, and I am thinking about whether I can come and visit auntie tomorrow."

Marshall looked at Clara, "My grandmother is looking for my mother so she went back to accompany her recently."

Clara was stunned, "Well, there has been no news from her since she invited me a few days ago. I wondered if she was okay, and I was worried about her."

Katherine was on a sudden inspiration. Mrs. Grant went back to her mother’s home, combined with previous news, Katherine almost knew the answer to the question she asked Marshall before but didn't get an answer.

Katherine smiled, feeling a little happy. Mrs. Grant had the punishment coming after so many years.

Katherine wanted to celebrate on Mrs. Grant being punished.

Marshall saw Katherine's gloat. He said softly, "What are you smiling about?"

"I am happy for a secret I just discovered." Katherine raised her chin.

Marshall wiped Katherine's mouth.

Katherine was shocked, and hid back reflexively.

"There is something at the corner of your mouth." Marshall looked calm and took out his phone.

There seemed to be a message.

Katherine ignored Marshall.

Kyle said, "I wonder what Hector is doing at the club. Did he have lunch yet?"

Katherine thought for a while, "I’ll ask him."

She took out her phone.

Marshall glanced at her and continued to look at his phone.

Peter Richardson sent him a message about work.

Katherine sent a message to Hector, and he quickly replied a voice message.

Katherine played the voice message. Hector said that he had breakfast late in the morning, and now he was playing games in Kyle's room and he was bored.

Katherine thought about it and made video call to Hector.

Hector quickly answered. He smiled, "Did you have lunch?"

Katherine nodded, "Yes." With that said, she switched the camera and showed Kyle to Hector.

Kyle grinned in front of the camera.

Marshall said, "Let’s finish our meals first, you can chat later."

His voice was not loud, but he could be heard over the phone. Hector's expression froze, he then said, "Is Marshall there?"

Katherine said, "He's here too."

Hector said, "Did Marshall bring his female companion?"

Old Mrs. Walters’ invitation said that you could bring companions over to participate and have fun together.

Because there was a dance party, it should be for two people to dance together.

Marshall replied directly, "I didn't."

Hector smiled, "What a pity. It’s a great opportunity."

Marshall sneered and said nothing.

Hector asked Katherine what's interesting here.

In fact, there was nothing fun. Katherine wanted to go home.

Katherine hung up the phone after talking for a while.

Everyone almost finished their meals.

Marshall was still texting Peter Richardson.

Kyle looked around, "With so many people, is it possible for them to prepare a mahjong table? How could they not prepare anything for us? It is impossible for them to let us sit down and talk."

Katherine was a little dumbfounding.

Marshall, who was texting, smiled, "It’s Old Mrs. Walters’s birthday party. What are you thinking about? Who will prepare a mahjong table for you?"

Old Mrs. Walters was a very stylish person. It is impossible for her to put a mahjong table at a birthday party. Otherwise, the headline the next day would not be her birthday party but the mahjong table.

After a while, Marshall said, "There is a tea room in the backyard. Would you like to hang out there?"

Everyone else was chatting.

The people who came here were people with identities, and they liked to expand their personal networks.

It was the easiest to succeed in talking about business at the dining table.

Everyone was toasting and flattering each other.

Katherine didn't like this kind of occasion, and she felt that the words and deeds of the people who came here were purposeful. So, she nodded, "Let's go, I'm full anyway."

Marshall stood up first.

Katherine was wearing a long red dress, so it was not so convenient for her to get up.

Marshall naturally to took advantage of the situation, he held Katherine’s arm. When she stood up, he took her hand.
