CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 533 Leave That Behind

Louie was confused by the expression in Ryan's eyes. She then heaved a sigh, and tears began to shed tears from the rims of her eyes.

She said, "The test result is coming out tomorrow in the hospital, and I will go and take it. I don't want to get dad and mom shocked anymore."

Staring at the houses set far ahead for a while, Ryan sighed,"Indeed, they still need more time to go over this. After all, they are old, and people who get old fear losing their young loved ones."

Raising her hand and wiping off the tears on her face, Louie nodded, "It's still hard to believe that Jakub would ever resort to extremity. He must have been going through a hard time, and things would be different if we had ever noticed that."

Remaining silent for a while, Ryan answered, "He is too weak to bear what makes a successful man. In a big family like that of ours, the greater wealth we own, the bigger pain we have to take. No one has ever been easy, after all. Even your own father used to lead a highly stressful lifestyle when he was a child, with which that of Jakub could never compare. However, he made it, and changed his life — just look the prosperity that our company has gained for these years in his hand."

Hearing the words of Ryan, Louie'd got nothing to say.

Looking at the mason not far away with an absent-minded look on his face, Ryan sighed, "If only Jakub could be like you. I know that you've been hard for these years, but you made it through, just like your father."

Louie turned around and casted a glance at Ryan, "But I…"

Somehow, something forced her to bite back the rest of her words.

She was tired and shattered as well, and felt being suffocated by nearly every day of her life.

However, she knew that Tomas didn't really put all his expectations on her, and thus she would be able to get rid of all this sooner or later in the future.

It gave her hope to strive forwards, and the hope had helped her get through everything.

Maybe, it was just something that Jakub failed to see, and thus he chose to end his life with the bottle of pesticide after the car accident.

Last night, she had sent her men to check out the spot where the car accident happened, and found that there was a recently dropped empty bottle of pesticide, which looked quite new.

Louie was not exactly in the mood to move forwards on this topic, so she turned to Ryan and lifted him up, "Let's go inside, grandpa. I don't feel easy about leaving you here alone."

Without saying anything, the old man went back into the mason together with Louie. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Louie supported Ryan back to his own room, and the old man just sat by the bedside with a sour look on his face.

Looking around for a while, Louie then asked, "Have you got any pills with you, grandpa? If you don't, please make sure that you've brought some standing drugs just in case. I'm worried about you honestly."

The old man waved his hand, "No, I'm fine. Just go and check your father, and see if he's getting better. The case has been settled, and life still goes on."

Louie nodded, "OK, I'm on my way. Just call me if you need us."

No response was heard from the old man. Then, Louie stood up and left.

As the door was closed, she leant by the doorway, with the bitterness and grievance on her face disappeared completely.

She didn't head to the room of Tomas. Instead, she went back to that of hers.

Marshall gave Katherine a call before he was off duty, and Katherine told him that she was at Kyle's club currently instead of their own house.

In haste, he asked whom she was hanging around with there. He thought that Frances was there accompanying her, but it didn't seem to be the fact.

And then, he could not help asking what she was doing around there.

Without being secretive and defensive, she simply told him that since Hector was about to leave here and head back for his training, she and Kyle were planning to get together with Hector before he left.

Hearing that, Marshall muttered, "Haven't you guys already seen each other last time?"

Katherine answered with a cold voice, "I don't know how you have the nerve to mention that, but I remembered that you had staged an incident before me that time."

Marshall tutted, "But I was not the only one! You know you should never exclude my father and Nicolas Dixon from that thing!"

'What a man who would not even let off his father if necessary.' Katherine thought sarcastically.

She then sneered, "OK, you win."

Telling her to stay down there, Marshall said he was on his way to come and drive her back home.

Turning around and looking at Kyle and Hector, who were drunken and passed out on the ground, Katherine considered that there was nothing more she could do around here, and thus

assented to the proposal of Marshall.

Waiting for Marshall to pick her up, Katherine called for the servants to take the two drunkards to their rooms.

Then, tidying herself up, she went downstairs, leaning by the gateway of the club and looking at the traffic coming and going on outside.

Soon, Marshall arrived. Getting out of the car, he found that Katherine was standing by the door, then trotting towards her and asking, "Where is Hector?"

Obviously discomforted by his inquiry, Katherine casted him with a squint and answered, "What? Don't tell me that you've been thinking about him."

With a reluctant expression on his face, Marshall humphed, "I'm just asking, since I don't want that man to keep buzzing around you non-stop."

Katherine was not so keen on giving him any response. She answered with annoyance, "Pah! Save it! He's not the sort of yours!"

Since Kyle and Hector were already passed out, there was no need for them to get inside and greet goodbye to them. Katherine then got into the car along with Marshall.

As they got in the car, Marshall suddenly said, "Wait."

His words held back from belting herself up. As Katherine turned to him, Marshall was looking into the rearview mirror seriously with his eyes narrowed.

Confused, Katherine leaned over to him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Although Marshall comforted Katherine that there was nothing wrong, his eyes were still narrowly upon the mirror.

A while later, he still took out his phone and dialed a number.

Marshall told Katherine that something was not right about the car following behind them, and he had called his guards to intercept them in the middle of its way.

Just in time, nearby there were guards hired by Marshall to secretly follow Katherine.

It was not until he hung up the call that Marshall launched the car and drove away.

Looking at the rear view mirror, Katherine felt like having a glance at the car tracking behind them.

However, as a result, nothing seemed to be wrong.

'Maybe they are professionals in shadowing people, I guess.' Katherine thought to herself.

In her own mind, she had long been proud of her keen and insightful eyesight — no ordinary tricks could ever deceive her eyes.

However, with her eyes shifted from one car to another behind them, she failed to tell if there was anything weird.

Therefore, she gave up chasing dead ends and leaned back in her chair, with her eyes staring at the cars ahead.

Although she didn't know whether the suspicious car had been intercepted by Marshall's men or not, she chose to forget about it since the whole way back to her house was quite peaceful and unobstructed.

As the car was pulled up in the parking lot of their place, Katherine got out of the car and turned to Marshall, "Has the car been intercepted?"

With his arms around Katherine's shoulder, Marshall said, "I think so. Well, it's dinner time already. Let's put it aside and get something to eat."

Seeing that Marshall did not really want to expand on the thing, Katherine then chose to remain silent.

After all, there were so many things that she remained unclear, and thus she got nothing to lose to leave this matter behind as well.
