CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 2 I Wanted A Divorce Long Ago

Katherine froze and let out a smile, “I don’t want to. You probably wanted it long ago. I know that.” So she was actually mentally prepared for it to some extent. Or, she knew this day was coming when they just got married. But, this was a bit sooner than she’d expected. Old Mr. Grant just passed away about a month ago and Marshall couldn’t wait anymore.

Marshall was surprised by her answer and paused. Lips curled, he didn’t try to explain.

So Katherine was certain that she was right.

Marshall puffed a bit more and put out the cigarette. He didn’t continue the conversation but changed the topic, “What are you going to do next?”

Katherine blinked her eyes and pondered, “Well, no idea yet. But I’d like to go on a trip, travel a bit.”

She just got divorced with Marshall and was honestly a little keyed up. She can only imagine how she would be ridiculed and pitied as his ex-wife. Especially as she married Marshall with a somewhat embarrassing reason. She only married to the Grants as a lucky charm for Old Mr. Grants’ health.

Old Mr. Grant was ailing and forced Marshall to get hitched with her. Katherine distinctively knew that Marshall didn’t want to marry her at first. He really didn’t have much of a choice back then, as he was morally bound. He has no choice but to marry her. But the reality proved that joyous matters can drive away sickness was a total bullshit. Old Mr. Grant was indeed much merrier after the marriage, but his body didn’t really get better. He still went through a lot of hardships. Merely a year had passed since their ceremony.

So she can well picture what other people would say about her. She’d better go out to wait for the whole thing to blow over. Katherine recollected her thought and looked at her mug, “I’ll be back on grandfather’s one-hundredth Memorial Day.”From NôvelDrama.Org.

Marshall hesitated for a bit, “You can stay at Peter’s, do you need anything.”

Peter was his assistant and had been working for him years.

Katherine nodded and didn’t reject, “Okay. I will”

Katherine started gobbling up after the dishes were served. She remained silent the whole way. Actually, she didn’t know what to say. They didn’t have much to say either during their short-lived marriage. Apart from entangling with each other when the light was out, they didn’t seem to have other reasons to communicate. So the two were more separated after the divorce.

Marshall didn’t seem to have much appetite and didn’t ate much.

Katherine didn’t pay heed to him and just put her mind on the food. But she got to admit that she was being a bit impulsive before. She ordered way too much. Kathrine didn’t even finish half of the dishes and then leaned back against the chair and called the waiter over, “All packed to go.”

People here were always somebody, so it was rare that customer would pack the leftovers.

The waiter was stupefied.

Marshall spoke, “Pack them.”

The waiter smiled awkwardly, “Okay, wait a moment, please.”

While the waiter was getting the packaging box, Marshall stared at Katherine.

Katherine was irritated by his stares, “What? Did I embarrass you?”

Instead of answering, Marshall grinned and questioned, “And I haven’t ask you why would you marry me?”

Katherine blinked, “Because you’re stinking rich.” She added again before Marshall can even say something. “But then I realized that there are way more people richer than you.”

Marshall raised his eyebrows, “So this is why you agreed to have the divorce with me so quickly?”

Katherine smiled and didn’t say anything.

After the waiter packed all the food, Katherine left with Marshall.

Marshall had to be somewhere else, so he hailed a cab for Katherine.

After getting on the cab, Katherine asked through the window, “What about you?”

Marshall frowned, “What?”

“Why did you marry me?”

“Because you’re pretty.”

But then he continued, “But then I realized that there are way more people who are prettier then you.”
