CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 376

Looking up at Margaret, Katherine asked, "Why do you care about that?"

With a pause, Margaret offered an awkward smile, "Nothing. I just… I'm just a little curious about the things between you guys. You know, sometimes it's really hard to tell the genuine and fake on the Internet."

With the corner of her mouth lifted, Katherine answered, "All I can tell you is that you don't have to really care about those rumors online. Many of them are just bullshit."

Margaret nodded, without asking anymore about that.

Katherine took the last sip of the cup of milk tea, stood up and was going to head back home and change her clothes.

Margaret stood up either, and accompanied Katherine to the doorway, "Sometimes, when I see all those ups and downs of your relationships, it really reminds me of finding myself a boyfriend."

Her words left Katherine in speechlessness for a moment. Then, Katherine looked back at Margaret, "Come on! You should love only when you truly fall in love, not when you are affected by others' stupid stories. Otherwise, everything will only turn out to be nothing at the end."

Margaret burst into laughter, "Ha! You're speaking like a philosopher!"

Katherine responded with a thin smile, "I'm just saying the true words inside me. Anyway, you will know when you meet someone you love."

With a pause, Katherine hesitated for a while and continued, "By the way, what will your Mr. Right look like?"

Stunned, Margaret conspicuously got into a panic, with her eyes wandering aimlessly.

Licking her lips, she answered, "Well, I wish he is someone who is strong enough to protect me, someone who can step out for me when I get into trouble, and someone who can fulfill my little wishes in our daily life."

Katherine nodded, thinking that it was quite reasonable.

After all, every girl needs nothing more than a sense of security in a romantic relationship.

Katherine answered, "That's something quite simple enough, honestly. As long as a man loves you, such things will not be something difficult for him."

Margaret said with a bashful smile, "I hope I have that romantic encounter soon."

Katherine responded with a joyful laugh. At this moment, she saw a taxi approach, and raised her arm to hail it.

Then, she turned back to Margaret, "Don't forget to order yourself a takeaway for lunch. You don't have to be on a diet, since you're already slim enough."

Margaret nodded, "OK, I get it."

As Katherine got on the car, she took a glance at Margaret, and noticed a longing for love had blossomed within her.

She had been recently paying extra attention to her image. Although she was by no means counted as obesity, she told Katherine that she was going to be moderate in eating. Changes could also be noticed from her dresses, which were totally different from those she used to wear.

What's more, she had even been to a hair salon and got herself a hairstyle a couple of days ago.

She could sense that this girl had fallen in love with someone.

'The yearning for love always seems as beautiful as such.' Katherine thought to herself, with a smile of relieve on her face.

She was wondering what exactly the man hidden underneath this young lady's heart would look like.

It was right at noon when Katherine arrived home. She changed her clothes and cooked something for lunch.

With the trays of dishes placed on the table, her phone rang.

She picked it up and discovered that an unknown local number was calling in.

After a while of hesitation, she put through the call.

The voice on the other end of the call sounded a little fuzzy, "Katherine, is that you?"

"Who are you?" Asked Katherine.

"Me? I'm your brother." Laughed the man.

His words stunned Katherine. "What? Wait a minute, are you drunk, man?"

At that moment, a burst of laughter sounded on the other end. It seemed that many people were around there.

A second later, the man said, "Yea, I'm drunk, and I need to you to come around and pick me up. Hurry!"

Katherine thought it was just a wrong call given by an inebriated sot, and hung it off without any hesitation.

After a while, the man called in again.
