CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 384

Frances used to get angry every time she saw Katherine.

However, now she didn’t even say anything to embarrass her and seemed didn’t want any confection.

Clara nodded and asked, “Are you hungry now?”

Frances replied vaguely, “I wanted to bring you to that restaurant just now. These things are not healthy. Come on, I will buy you some fancy food.”

Clara compressed her lips and nodded after a few seconds.

She hadn’t even eaten anything.

She went in front of the bar table to pay and Katherine didn’t even look up. She pointed at the money receiving code and said, “There.”

Clara paid the bill and then looked at her again.

Frances already walked by the door and called her. Finally, Clara left unwillingly.

Frances saw Clara here in front of the door. She took several steps elsewhere and waited her to follow up. Then she asked in confusion, “Why do you want to do by dropping by? Do you want to make Katherine feel terrible?”

Clara actually couldn’t figure out her real intention. It is true that she wanted to upset Katherine.

However, she didn’t know the words that would hurt her the most.

Hence, she tried to use the news as breaking point because her heart hurt so much when she first saw that news.

She believed Katherine would share the same feeling with her and that was why she mentioned about it.

However, she also felt terrible when mentioning it. She could only tell a lie to say Marshall had explained to her.

Frances looked at her and shook the head, saying, “Clara, there is no need to win on words. Even if you said the person Marshall took away was you, Katherine wouldn’t have any reaction. She is always good at keeping calm. You really lose the competition this time.”

Clara compressed her lips and thought her point made sense.

Frances petter her shoulder and said, “Well, don’t think too much. Let’s go to have lunch.”

Clara didn’t say anything and left with her.

Katherine stood by the bar table and put down the phone, full of indifference.

Clara couldn’t figure out what the situation was.

She didn’t know what was the point for her by dripping by!

She went to clean their table and to hang the “close-up” board.

Then she only needed to do some simple cleaning.

Katherine washed the mop and was ready to mop the floor when her phone suddenly rang.

She went to check and found it was an unfamiliar number from another city.

Those kinds of numbers were either from liars or salesman. She had received many calls like this.

She directly hanged up the phone and went on mopping the floor.

However, after cleaning the store, that number called again.

Katherine frowned and picked it up, saying, “Hello?”

At first, there was no sound from the other side. Katherine asked again and finally there came a woman’s voice, “Are you Katherine?”

The woman’s voice was full of uncertainly and cautiousness.

Katherine didn’t respond immediately, but asked back, “Who are you?”

After a few seconds, the woman cried in a low voice, “Kathy, it’s me.”

Katherine frowned and couldn’t tell who the woman was.

In the real life, nobody would call her Kathy.

She compressed her lips and got a bit impatient, thinking she must be a fraud, saying, “Who are you? Don’t cry.”

The woman sobbed, “Kathy, I am your mother.”

Katherine was surprised and asked, “Who are you?”

Instead of getting anxious or delighted, her voice was full of disgust. Then she added, “You’d better come up with a better answer. Don’t you do some research before you call? There is a clearly mistake for your information. I have to tell you that my mother has died many years ago. Don’t think you can lie to me.”

Then she hanged up the phone.

However, she couldn’t stop trembling.

She turned around to pour water and drank the whole cup.

Her mother? Stop joking. Her mother died more than a decade ago.

Katherine took a deep breath and went to grab her thing. Then she closed the door and called a taxi.

The woman called again on her way home.

Katherine didn’t pick it up and hanged up directly.

She threw her phone on the sofa after arriving home and went to clean her face in the washroom.

She stood with hands on her hips in the living room. She was not hungry now because both her heart and stomach were overwhelmed with thought.

The phone rang again. Katherine closed her eyes and leaved it alone.

However, the phone kept ringing after it was hanged up automatically.

Katherine got very anxious when hearing the ring again and again.

When the woman called the third time, she went forward and picked it up, asking, “How do you know my phone number?”

The woman was timid and answered, “I went back to the village and the old people told me.”

Katherine allowed herself a wry smile. Indeed, during her grandfather’s funeral, she left a number to the neighbour and told him to contact her if anything happened.

Katherine asked again, “Why are you coming back to the village after so many years? Are you still in the village now?”

The woman’s voice sounded sympathetic, replying, “No, I am not. I am still outside. I heard about your thing and went back to check.”

Katherine licked her back teeth and asked, “What have you heard of?”

The woman remained silent for a while and then replied, “I have heard you’re getting married. I am so proud of you, but I also regret that I am not here with you. I am so sorry.”

Katherine laughed out, “Then what? Why are you calling? I have got married a year ago. You can’t help by contacting me now.”

The woman didn’t know what to say after hearing her words.

Katherine took a deep breath and continued, “How’s your day? You two must have a great time outside.”

The woman immediately replied, “No, I am not. I really have suffered a lot. I miss you every day. Actually, I want to go back, but I am shameless…”

Then she paused for a second and continued, “I have got divorced with your father and it is inappropriate for me to come back. That’s why I have wasted so many years.”

Katherine frowned, “Did you get divorced?”

Then she smiled, “When? Did you remarry afterwards?”

The woman remained silent and it seemed Katherine’s guess was real.

Katherine nodded and asked, “Do you have a new child?”

The woman still remained silent.

Katherine said, “That’s nice. Have a good time with your new husband and don’t leave the child alone again. It’s your responsibility and don’t think of laying your burden on others. Irresponsible parents will go to hell.”

The woman cried in great sorrow.

Katherine didn’t have any reaction and said, “Well, now you know that I have a good life and I also know your life is good as well. There is no need for us to contact anymore.”

Then she continued, “You should know you don’t even need to contact me this time.”
