CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 357

Marshall was led by the servant and it seemed that he had never come to the Walters family before.

The servant informed with a smile, “Old Mrs. Walters, here comes the young master from the Grant family.”

Marshall then came in, saying, “Old Mrs. Walters, sorry to bother.”

Old Mrs. Walters nodded, “We’re all waiting for you. Come here and sit with us.”

Marshall came and sat beside Katherine.

Katherine turned around to look at him and lowered her voice, saying, “Why are you calling me? What are you doing in my home?”

Marshall’s mouth curled and responded in a lower voice, “I didn’t come to you home. I am lying to you on the phone. I know you have some trouble and come here to help you.”

Katherine was startled and didn’t know what trick he was playing.

Old Mrs. Walters found they were talking, “Young people really have lots of common topics together. When Katherine was with me, she hardly spoke. Now you come and she immediately start talking.”

Katherine smiled with embarrassment, “I just want to ask him about something.”

Old Mrs. Walters closed the album and asked, “Do you know each other before?”

Katherine tried to speak but didn’t know how to reply.

Marshall directly said beside her, “Yes, we have known each other for a long time and we’re in a good relation.”

Katherine turned to look at him and didn’t think there was a need to stress that they were in a good relation.

Old Mrs. Walters nodded, “I can tell from your reaction that you have known each other for a long time.”

Katherine didn’t say anything and pretended to show a friendly smile.

Old Mrs. Walters seemed to come up with something, signing, “It’s a pity that Marshall already get married. If he didn’t, I will definitely bring you together. You look like a perfect match when sitting beside each other.”

Katherine was so awkward at this point.

Marshall laughed out loud and asked, “Really? Do you really think so?”

Old Mrs. Walters nodded seriously, “Yes. You know I have never lied to you. You do look like a perfect match.”

Marshall chuckled and whispered beside Katherine’s ears, “Did you hear that?”

Katherine leaned eyes against him and said, “Go away.”

Marshall was delighted and carried a sustaining smile.

Old Mrs. Walters then started talking about people from the Walters family and her main intention was to let Katherine get to know them better.

Marshall didn’t know that old Mrs. Walters had already regarded Katherine as her god granddaughter and thought she was simply trying to draw Katherine to her side.

He started explain beside Katherine and also wanted to make her familiarize with the Walters family by stressing what they had done.

Actually, Katherine was not in the mood of getting to know these people. Although they seemed to welcome her, Katherine knew they all felt differently about her privately.

Old Mrs. Walters really regarded her as a lucky star and Katherine knew her first and third son were just trying to flatter her by letting her to be their god daughter.”

Katherine was in an awkward situation when being with old Mrs. Walters’ third son. Their family’s young master didn’t like her and the third son’s brothers also hated her.

She really got headache when thinking about that.

Old Mrs. Walters talked a lot and Marshall also explained a lot, but Katherine could hardly remember anything.

The sky outside gradually went dark. Marshall suggested, “It’s already late. I think it’s time for us to leave so that grandma can have a good rest. I will send Katherine back.”

Old Mrs. Walters intended to let her third son sent Katherine home, but she could tell Ralph was not in a good attitude when they were talking on the table.

Katherine chuckled and didn’t take his words seriously.

Marshall drove the car and brought Katherine home.

He said when Katherine already got off the car, “Why don’t you invite me in? I kind of relived your awkwardness today. How about giving me some praise?”

Katherine didn’t intend to invite him and Marshall could only request by himself.

Katherine turned around and thought for a while, saying, “Well, come and have a glass of water, then you have to leave.”

She was unwilling to invite him.

Marshall chuckled and followed her in.

It was not so late at night, but Katherine got tired and didn’t have the strength to boil the water. She directly went towards the fridge, grabbed a bottle of iced water, and threw it to Marshall.

Marshall was sitting on the couch. He caught the bottle, weighed it in his hand and put it down, “You’d better stay away from the Walters family. Although old Mrs. Walters is a nice woman, each one in the big family has their concern. None of those three brothers came to farewell with us. I can tell they are not satisfied with what happened today.

Katherine sat opposite with Marshall. She leaned against the couch and said, “I don’t want to have connection with them. It’s good for me to be alone. I don’t need any family.”

Especially those she met half way on her life journey.

Family of origin had different kinds of problems. Her so-called family was brought together with some reasons, or more frankly, they were brought together because of self-interest.

Katherine took the bracelet and observed it for a while. She was a little confused, “I really don’t want to have this thing, but I don’t know how to return it.”

Marshall replied, “Just keep it. Sometimes it’s hard to reject others’ good intention. Old Mrs. Walters likes you a lot. No matter what purpose she has, she won’t hurt you. You will get yourself into trouble if you return it.”

Katherine looked at the bracelet under protest, “Well, I will keep it and find a good chance to give it back.”

Marshall looked towards her, “Well, do you think we really are a perfect match?”
