Katherine was still asleep when her mobile phone vibrated the next morning.
It was Marshall who had already left for work who called.
Marshall had just finished a meeting in the company. He wanted to take some time off to bring Katherine to visit the hometown villagers.
They had mentioned it numerous times of their wish to thank her in person.
Katherine also recalled about it. She had mentioned that she wanted to take out some time to visit them.
However, her memory was not cooperating with her as it slipped off her mind.
After receiving Marshall’s call, Katherine sat up slowly.
It was already bright outside, when she answered it in a daze.
Marshall said that he would come back for lunch. He wanted Katherine to prepare to head out after lunch as he would take her to see those hometown villagers.
Katherine said yes, then squinted her eyes, “Got it.”
Marshall hung up the phone, while Katherine continues to sit there for a long time, then finally lay down again.
She had been having very good sleep quality. She may really be in the second trimester, and her whole body has entered a very comfortable stage.
She fell asleep for a short nap as she lay on the bed. It was the helper who came up with her meal that woke her up.
Katherine quickly washed up, chose her outfit, and went to put on makeup to look a little more energetic.
Then she sat down, placed her phone aside, and slowly had her meal.
Katherine was watching the entertainment news when her mobile phone suddenly vibrated. It was Clara who called.
Katherine was taken aback, and she stared at the phone in a daze.
She and Clara were not in a situation where they could call and chat with each another.
Therefore, she was unable to decipher the purpose behind Clara’s phone call.
Katherine intentionally didn’t answer the first time. She just wanted to ignore Clara.
Clara, who was on the other end, was quite patient, she called a second time.
This time Katherine answered, her voice was lazy, “What’s the matter, Miss Henderson.”
Clara smiled over there, sounding a bit stiff and pretentious as usual.
She said, “Miss Jordan, I feel apologetic. I have been in contact with Marshall recently due to some matters. I went to the Grant Residence that day and didn’t manage to say goodbye to you when I left. I have been thinking about it for the past two days. I feel that that was a little impolite on my side, and I want to apologize to you.”
Katherine almost laughed. This was interesting.
It had been several days since this incident, and she suddenly mentioned it now. She was unsure why the reflexes in her mind took her so long.
Katherine smiled, “If you didn’t say it, I would have forgotten all about it.”
Clara paused for a moment, and then said, “I saw Marshall’s social media. You two have remarried, and I would like to congratulate you.”
Katherine gave a slight acknowledgment said, “Marshall thought about it over an extended period before he decided on remarrying. I thought about it and decided that I can’t let others take advantage of him. After all, I don’t have a good alternative now, so I’d just decided to tie him down then decide from there.”
Katherine’s words were really a little provoking. She might had let go of her grievances with Clara, but when they met, she always couldn’t control and would want to say things that would make the other party feel uncomfortable.
Perhaps using the term ‘eternal enemy’ would be the most appropriate way to describe them.
She thought that she had let it go. However, whenever she encounters her, she would put her defenses up and uncontrollably verbally attack her.
Katherine comforted Old Mrs. Grant, “No, they are all adults. They will be very comprehensive when they’re considering matters. Why would they make jokes about their own lives?”
Old Mrs. Grant nodded, but she still seemed a little uneasy, “I hope so.”
Katherine was full and had enough sleep.
There was nothing to do now. After chatting with Old Mrs. Grant for a while, she got up and went for a walk outside.
Lydia was a little happy. She usually doesn’t go out for a walk. Today, she hummed a song and shook her arms, walking slowly in the backyard.
Katherine didn’t avoid Lydia, she just ignored her instead.
She followed her route towards the backyard.
It was rare that Lydia had a smile on her face when she met Katherine.
She greeted Katherine when she was far away, “You’re out for a walk again, Kathy? Oh, your stomach seemed to have gotten bigger in the night. Have you gone to check if it was a boy or a girl?”
Katherine didn’t respond, as if she hadn't heard it.
She waited until she walked to Lydia before she spoke, “You are too out for a walk. You seem to be in a good mood today.”
Lydia laughed and didn’t mind that she didn't answer her earlier.
She said, “Yes, I came out for a stretch. I’ll be heading to the company in a while. Lucas had made an appointment with his girlfriend for lunch. I heard that the girl is quite good, so he’ll probably settle down with her.”
Katherine smirked and it looked like she was laughing. She sarcastically responded, “That’s great.”
As she said, she walked towards the backyard.
Lydia seemed a little reluctant to give up and turned to follow.
