CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 548

When Katherine went back to the main building, Marshall happened to come down the stairs. He looked refreshed and didn’t seem he had gone out last night.

Katherine waved at Marshall and asked him deliberately, "Did you sleep well last night?"

Marshall gave a smile. "Not well. I felt funny, but you wouldn’t help me get better."

Now Katherine lost the desire to continue this conversation, snorting, "What a nerve."

Old Mrs. Grant was already in the dining room. Hearing the two of them talking, she called at once, "Come on! It’s time to have breakfast. You get up so early this morning, Katherine."

Katherine came over and sat down, saying, "Not early enough. When I was strolling in the backyard, I saw Lucas leaving. He got up really early this morning."

Old Mrs. Grant, nevertheless, wasn’t surprised to learn that Lucas went out so early this morning at all, saying, "Well, I heard that he has met a girl he likes recently, and they’ve been seeing each other these days. He might have gone to have breakfast with her."

Old Mrs. Grant’s words surprised both Katherine and Marshall. Katherine asked at once, "Did they meet on a blind date?"

Old Mrs. Grant pondered with a frown before shaking her head. "It doesn’t seem so."

Lucas didn’t like going on a blind date, so he couldn’t have met girls in that way.

Since that was not the case, Katherine thought for a moment and said, "Then he must have met that girl himself. Seems that he’s serious this time."

Marshall shot a glance at Katherine across from her and chimed in, "Hope it’ll work this time, so that we don’t have to worry about him."

Katherine chuckled, "When have you worried for him ever? You’ve been watching."

Marshall stared at Katherine for a moment and wanted to say something, but finally he didn’t say it.

After breakfast, Marshall went to work, but he didn’t drive straight to the company. Instead, he went to the private bank first.

The private bank was located in a remote area filled with slums. Looking small and plain, it was tucked away in a factory. At this point of time, no one should be working here.

Husky had told Marshall before that they usually opened in the afternoon.

Marshall pulled over and watched the factory for a while, whose gate was locked.

Some time ago, he had caught a few people working here. Some of them had revealed how they ran the private bank under interrogation. Usually, they would think of a way to trap the borrowers and make them unable to pay off the debt. The borrowers had no choice but to offer their property as collateral for their loan. In fact, the amount of the loan wasn’t normally big. Compared to other loan sharks, they were running a small business.

Peter looked at the contents in the picture but failed to figure it out. "What are those? Aren’t they codes? They look like order details somehow. There isn’t even a word in the form."

Marshall put his phone away. "Let’s leave it there for now. Are you going to have lunch? Let’s eat together."

Peter was surprised to hear that. "Aren’t you going back home? I thought you’d eat with Katherine."

Marshall let out a sigh. "Not today. I have some business to do."

Peter stared at Marshall and nodded. "Alright. Let’s go."

Old Mrs. Grant didn’t expect Marshall to eat out at noon, and neither did Katherine. But she could understand it since Marshall should be busy. The family doctor came and checked on her, saying that she was in good condition. Her underbelly wasn’t very large, but the baby’s heart beat could be heard.

It was the first time Katherine had ever heard a fetal heart beating. She got so excited that she recorded it with her phone. Somehow, she felt sorry that Marshall wasn’t with her at the moment. Marshall kept thinking about this baby, but he missed the opportunity of listening to the baby’s heart beat for the first time.

After the check-up, Katherine went to bed to have a rest. Before long, her phone rang.

It was from Kyle.
