CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 447

That man was stunned because of his sudden question.

He raised his head to look at Peter, smiling awkwardly, “Well, it depends on the adjustment of the designer. But commonly speaking, it will be finished before noon.”

Peter nodded and squatted down to watch those tools, “You got so many to use? I can’t even name one of them.”

That man smiled, “But your forte is about the office.”

Peter looked at him, “How long have you been working on it?”

That man paused and then looked at Peter. But he still answered, “About five years. I once owed my own business. But I only earned a little. So I am here to work for the company.”

Peter nodded and smiled to watch him checking the cameras.

Marshall kept watching in the yard. After quite a while, he said to both Katherine and Frances, “Just back to the room to take a rest. Peter and I will stay for watching.”

Katherine agreed so. After all, that guy didn’t seem to have a chance under surveillance.

She nodded and held Frances’s arm, “Alright, let’s get back to the room.”

Frances was also a bit tired after watching them working for a while.

She nodded and entered the parlor with Katherine.

As Katherine walked in, she happened to pass that guy.

She turned to look at him while that man happened to raise his head to look at her.

Then there came an eye contact.

That man looked emotionless with a poker face.

But Katherine wore a mysterious smile.

That man suddenly stopped when seeing that. He fixed his eyes on her.

Katherine shifted her gaze off from him and went upstairs with Frances.

Then they entered the bedroom of Katherine.

Frances didn’t utter until she closed the door, “Why were you smiling at that man? Did you notice something wrong?”

Katherine sat on the bed with her back against the wall, “Nothing. I was just curious about his face. So I watched him for a few seconds.”

Frances huffed, speechless.

She then walked over to the window and stood still. She sighed, “What’s wrong with my life? I only expect that everything will be fine when you give birth to the baby. But now just look! Those troubles seem to be endless!”

After pondering for seconds, Katherine said, “But some people wanna kill my baby.”

Frances turned to look at her. Of course, she could tell whom she was referring to.

As Katherine was sitting on the bed, her phone rang.

She grabbed her phone to check. But then she frowned and hung it up.

Frances was a bit surprised, “Why don’t you answer it? Who’s calling you?”

Katherine let out her breath, “Just a crank call. I have got a lot of calls like that. So I hung it up.”

Frances nodded and didn’t notice anything weird.

Katherine felt a bit bored while sitting still. After checking her phone for a while, she lay down.

As the sleepiness still lingered due to pregnancy, she felt like sleeping.

So she asked Frances to draw the curtain on her side. And then she fell asleep.

Frances returned to her own room after staying for a while.

As Katherine was in sound sleep, her phone rang again.

That man nodded, looking humble, “Thank you. I am so sorry for bothering you.”

Peter stood in the yard and saw that guy place the tool cabinet into the car. Then he walked outside the community.

Peter smiled and then followed over a few seconds later.

Marshall still stood in the parlor. He slowly turned around to tell the workers to avoid making noise. Then he walked upstairs.

While sleeping, Katherine felt like being kissed.

Then Marshall’s voice sounded, “Sorry to bring you trouble.”

Katherine felt like complaining for being disturbed. But when hearing that, she held it back.

Marshall sat on the bedside, lay down and hugged her into his arms. Katherine didn’t dodge this time.

She just turned around to adjust her position.

As a bit awake, she just simply kept her eyes closed to rest.

Lying back against the pillow, Marshall murmured in low voice. Perhaps he was talking to both himself and to Katherine.

“Grandma has consulted a fortuneteller. She selected a nice date for us to get the marriage license, which should indicate a good sign of our ever-lasting marriage. Though it sounds superstitious, I’d love to accept it out of fortune. So I suggest we should get the marriage license that day.”

He sighed, “I know you are unwilling to accept it and you don’t feel like forgiving me. I am aware that I did do something wrong before. But I swear I have never done anything to cheat on you. Clara and I have got engaged before but nothing else happened between us besides that.”

His voice still remained warm and soft, “Even after divorce, I have never thought about getting together with her. Though I was in a mess at that time, I just want to live my own life. Nor have I fancied starting a new relationship with any other ladies. Trust me. I have never lied to you.”

With her lips pressed, Katherine clearly caught every single word of his.

Marshall caressed her belly, “May I have a chance to redeem my mistake?”

Katherine finally uttered after letting out her breath. But she didn’t continue with his topic, “Marshall, I just want a nice sleep. You are annoying me.”
