CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 473

Katherine waited for a while and then Marshall and Ralph both came out.

They said that they almost got what they needed.

Katherine nodded, “Alright, let’s go. I wanna get something to eat. I didn’t have much appetite during dinner time. Now I am hungry for food.”

Ralph laughed out, “You really surprise me! I don’t expect you still feel like eating after experiencing such a bloody scene.”

Commonly speaking, most girls would feel sick after seeing what happened just now. But Katherine seemed to be an exception.

She didn’t even give a fig about it, “Come on, I wasn’t the one who bled just now. Why should I care? Come on, let’s get something to eat.”

So both Marshall and Ralph took her to a restaurant to get some food.

As both the two men also had little food during dinner, they got themselves something to eat as well.

In the midst of meal, Marshall called a doctor here to stitch the wounds for that man.

He noticed that Katherine had cut so deep that only bandaging didn’t work well. Stitches needed to be used to staunch.

Katherine didn’t even notice what Marshall was talking through the phone. She simply gulped down every dish on the table.

Then she asked Ralph how he was doing recently.

Thinking for seconds, Ralph replied, “I am fine. Nothing serious. I have been idling every single day.”

Katherine sighed, “Both Grandma Grant and Maria came for lunch today.”

Hearing that, Ralph soon noticed what happened, “I can tell from your face that they must be talking something about me.”

Katherine didn’t intend to insinuate, “Yeah, but they didn’t talk much. So I didn’t know what exactly happened. But I could tell from their conversation that you seemed to regret. Now they have no idea how they should do to reach settlement with you.”

Ralph let out a mocking sneer, “What’s the point of regret? It’s too late.”

Katherine remained silent as she didn’t intend to comment before knowing what exactly happened.

After a while, Ralph let out a sigh of breath, “Just let it be. But I don’t have much hope about it.”

Katherine grabbed a glass hard with her head down, “So how about that girl? Is she alright?”

Ralph paused and looked at her, “She’s fine. After all, she no more feels bothered without me around.”

His voice sounded aggrieved, which rendered Katherine speechless.

She found it hard to express solace for him before she knew the whole thing.

The sky went dark after the meal.

Ralph picked up a call and hurried to leave, looking anxious.

Marshall and Katherine then returned to the car. But she didn’t feel like going home right now.

She wanted to spare more hours for the romantic time of both Khalid and Frances.

After some consideration, Katherine proposed, “Just drive me around.”

She had no idea where to go.

Marshall nodded and started the engine.

As he was driving on the road, Katherine got a call from Frances.

She grabbed the phone and stared at the screen, hesitating.

She decided to simply ignore it.

Marshall squinted at her and smiled, unspoken.

Frances also noticed what was in her mind after making a few unanswered calls

She sighed, feeling a bit awkward.

After all, both she and Khalid had been married for decades. Even she herself was rendered embarrassed by so tricks commonly used among young couples.

Khalid was talking on his phone in the corridor. It was a call from Grandma Grant, who asked why he still stayed out so late.

Khalid decided to answer the call out of the room in case Frances might feel awkward.

But the door actually remained open. So Frances could clearly capture what he said.

Grandma Grant didn’t ask much about where Khalid was staying now. She only told him to take care when driving home.

Khalid hung up the phone and answered another call.

And of course, Frances could still hear even though he tried to keep a low voice.

It should be a call from Cora, who just simply chitchatted with him.

But Frances got a bit annoyed. She was afraid if she herself would feel bad once she captured the content of their conversation.

But as his voice sounded, she couldn’t control herself to listen.

Fortunately, Khalid showed no intention to conceal. He told Cora that he was now with Frances.

Khalid also explained that he came to take care of Frances because she got hurt.

Frances, lying on one side, faced the window with her lips pressed.

Actually she no more felt pain from the bruise. And it didn’t matter to her.

She was thinking how she should suggest Khalid to go back home.

She used to be pretentious, but now she had changed.

Frances waited for a while and then Khalid hung up his phone.

He came in to sit on the bedside, silent.

Frances thought for a while and sat up, “I am fine now.”

Khalid replied, “I am waiting for Marshall and Katherine to return. I am still worried to leave you here alone.”

Frances smiled, “I am not alone. Darcie is here with me.”

Khalid frowned, which looked quite noticeable as he rarely did so.

He looked at her, “You ask me to leave?”

Frances paused and hurried to explain, “No, I don’t mean so. It’s just that it’s getting dark. You should drive yourself home before it’s late.”

Khalid shifted his gaze off from her and looked at his phone, “It doesn’t matter to me if it’s late.”

Frances stared at him, feeling something different.

Commonly speaking, Khalid never argued with her. Instead, he simply nodded to fudge whatever she said and did as what he was told.

So it was really rare to see him say so.

Frances responded with silence. She leaned against the front board of the bed to kill time.

Both of them sat on the bed silently. They seemed to be back into the old days.

The middle-aged couple didn’t talk to each other, but simply sat beside each other, which made no difference when compared with what they usually did before.

Frances had been a complainer, who always kept nagging before. The room never fell into silence until she finished.

But now both of them kept their mouths shut while fixing their eyes on their phones respectively.

Frances was rendered quite uneasy.

Even before that, they always had time to spend with each other alone. But the phones still fully occupied both of them.

After thinking for a while, Frances uttered, “I am still worried to keep Kathy here. She almost got attacked even when standing in the yard. It’s still dangerous to keep her stay here. I suggest you should have a discussion with the family to see if it would be better to bring her to the Grant Residence? After all, the yard over there is much bigger. That should be spacious enough for her to walk around. What’s more, you have kept more guards over there. It’s better for her security and it’s more convenient to take care of her. Well, but that’s just my suggestion. It still depends on Kathy, you and your family.”
