CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 370

Lucas paused for a while and then added, “Well, a man got to know what his hearts really desires. Otherwise, it would be easy to make mistakes. I’m sure that I don’t like them, so I would just be straightforward to avoid any misunderstandings.”

Pinching at the glass, Marshall turned to Lucas, “How sober are you.”

Lucas cracked a smile, “Well, one would certainly understand this after missing something.”

Marshall slowly frowned. He didn’t have much contact with Lucas before, so he didn’t realize him to be such a man who was suggesting something vaguely.

Marshall only sensed this side of him recently, or more exactly, after the divorce. Every time he chatted with Lucas, he was always dropping hints.

Marshall smiled, “Really? It’s actually great. But you got to tell auntie Lydia these words, otherwise, she would definitely pick a girl out for you to marry by force.”

After staring Marshall for a while, Lucas nodded, “You are right. I will find a time and talk to my om about this.”

Marshall didn’t reply. Lucas just left in a while.

Seeing that Lucas had left through the reflection of the glass, Marshall got serious.

It was still early when Marshall got off work, so he took a detour and passed Katherine’s store.

As he was passing by, he slowed down and looked inside the store.

Just so it happened, Katherine was sitting by the window and talking a man who asked for her phone number the last time.

Marshall hissed and didn’t expect that man would go to meet Katherine again.

Right at the moment, Katherine was beaming at the man. What was she smiling for!

Marshall then drove away and stopped at the curb.

Sitting in the car, Marshall stared at Katherine’s store through the rear-view mirror.

The man hadn’t come out yet. Marshall lighted a cigarette and puffed.

He was waiting patiently.

But before that man went out, his phone rang.

It was Khalid.

Marshall was surprised as he saw Khalid before he went out of the company.

Marshall then picked up the phone, “Dad.”

Voice suppressed, Khalid said, “Your mom called and wanted to have dinner with us.”

Marshall paused, “How did you reply?”

“What can I say? This isn’t too much. Of course I agreed.” Khalid sounded defeated.

Staring at the rear-view mirror, Marshall nodded, “Sure, where are you? I will be there in a minute.”

Khalid then hung up the phone after telling Marshall the address.

Marshall put the phone away and realized that the man hadn’t come out.

If Margaret wasn’t also in the store right now, he would just charge in and see what were they doing exactly.

Marshall waited for a while and drove away.

Khalid and Frances were already waiting in the restaurant when Marshall arrived and they were just sitting across each other silently and awkwardly.

Frances seemed to be wondering something and looked pretty gentle and quiet.

Marshall asked, “Have you ordered?”

Frances hurriedly answered, “Yeah, but not many. You can see what you like and order some more.”
