CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times novel Chapter 561

Kathy had noticed Marshall even before he entered the living room. But that was just a quick glance, and Kathy quickly continued with the TV.

While watching the TV, Mrs. Grant chortled and patted Kathy's arm, "Look at that guy, what a fool he is!" Kathy muttered, "He is absolutely a fool. He was quite normal before, how come he turned out to be like this?"

Marshall slowed his move, wondering whether Kathy was talking about the character in the TV series, or him. Marshall waited for a moment and said, "What’s on the TV? You two seem so happy."

Hearing this, Mrs. Grant froze for a moment before she turned back to Marshall, "You must have over sped to come back so quickly." Marshall obviously had no mood for that topic. He came over to the sofa and leaned from behind, "I didn't know you were here, otherwise I would have asked my dad to come back with me."

Kathy was still watching the TV, but she started to say, "Never mind. Mrs. Grant has already called elder Mr. Grant, and he is quite busy at noon, but he will come back early tonight." Mrs. Grant smiled and didn’t bother to speak.

Marshall was leaning on the sofa. He reached out to touch Kathy's hair, but Kathy ignored him. Marshall reached over again to pinch Kathy's face. Kathy tried not to smile and still ignored him. Marshall paused, but it seemed that he couldn't wait. He then bent forward, "I'm going to change my clothes, do you want to come up with me?"

Kathy lowered her voice, trying to be calm, "I’m not coming up. Why should I come up?" Marshall paused a while and said, "Aren't we going out in the afternoon? Of course, we should get dressed."

Kathy couldn't help but laugh. She finally turned around to Marshall, "We are going to have meal in a minute. No need to be hurried." Now that Kathy did not recline, it seemed that Marshall had not misunderstood before. Marshall quickly sat down next to Kathy. "Okay, let's have lunch first." he said with a smile.

Mrs. Grant had no idea what they were talking about, so she turned around and asked them, "Are you going out in the afternoon? In this case, it would be better for Kathy if you stay at home."

"We are heading to the court." Marshall rushed to answer before Kathy could utter a word. Mrs. Mrs.

Grant widen her eyes with surprise and turn to Kathy, "Court? Are you going to get registered for marriage?"

"Just go over and see," Kathy answered carelessly. Mrs. Grant said to Marshall, "Things are going well for you. Congratulations!"

Old Mrs. Grant was still upstairs. She later came downstairs and was a little surprised to find Marshall back home earlier than normal. She was also confused why Marshall was so excited. As she walked down the stairs, she asked Marshall if he was going to share some good news from the company. Marshall shook his head, his face beamed with happiness. It was the first time in a few day that he laughed so cheerfully.

Kathy was not concerned to such formality. "The pregnancy is quite exhausting, so I don't want those ceremonious things. No need to show off our life to others." she said. Though she used to want to show off to Clara, it seemed unnecessary as she was now pregnant with a baby.

Old Mrs. Grant nodded, "Kathy is getting more considerate." This implied that their life tends to be settled, no more upheaval for their marriage life. Worried that this might wrong Kathy, Marshall gazed at Kathy for a long time and then said, "We would do it in your way. But once the child is born, I will take you out for honeymoon."

Their first marriage had no honeymoon. At that time, Marshall thought a wedding ceremony was enough, and honeymoon was totally out of his mind. How terrible Kathy must he back then! Kathy perfunctorily agreed. Apparently, she was not interested about those things after remarriage, so the topic was changed to Marshall's work.

Old Mrs. Grant told Marshall to spend more time looking after Kathy now that she was pregnant. Marshall used to put his work first, even at the cost of their marriage. It was hoped that Marshall could learn a lesson from that.

Marshall immediately nodded his head and said, "When the current job is done, I will put off the to care for Kathy." Kathy had no respond, just quietly continued with her meal. She seemed so calm compared to the other three excited people.

After the meal, Marshall quickly went upstairs to change his clothes. Kathy was still watching TV downstairs, but Marshall didn't dare to urge her. After changing clothes, Marshall began to walk back and forth around Kathy. He also tried to chat with Mrs. Grant, repeatedly stressing the current time.
