CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 563 A Perfect Couple

Clara put the phone down and turned to look at her grandfather with a frustrated expression.

Ryan had heard what Marshall said on the phone clearly. He pulled up a long face and said, “Insensible! He deserves no such attention.”

Clara set her mouth in a grim line and muttered in a weak voice with a little grievance, “Grandpa, I really can do nothing. I’ve tried.”

Ryan waved his hands and gave her two movie tickets. “Here, take them and do whatever you want.”

He seemed displeased.

Clara represented the Hendersons. Therefore, Ryan felt insulted when hearing Marshall refuse Clara.

Clara took the tickets and had a glance at it. Then she sighed, “It’s been so long. Marshall still has no feelings for me. I think he doesn’t like me at all.”

Ryan wouldn’t like to hear that. He waved his hands again and said, “All right. You can go.”

Clara went out of the room. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

After she left, Ryan closed the door and stepped towards the closet. He opened the safe and took out the files.

At the same time, Clara was sitting on the sofa with no expressions.

She had predicted what Marshall would say. But even if so, she still felt upset when hearing his words.

Marshall didn’t know what happened here, thus telling his real thoughts to Clara, which actually made her feel hurt.

Clara thought for a while and took her mobile phone out. She sent a message to Marshall, asking when he was available so that she could send him the tickets.

But Marshall didn’t reply. Clara had no idea whether he didn’t notice the message or he thought it was unnecessary to reply to her.

She leaned on the sofa holding her phone and was disappointed. She had an uncomfortable feeling as if there was something blunt and suffocation in her chest, but it was just bearable.

Not knowing how long she’d been sitting still, Clara took her phone to check Facebook.

She had few friends and scarcely shared anything in Facebook Moments. During these days when she stayed at home and felt bored, she would look through it to see how other people lived.

When thumbing through the moments, Clara saw a picture posted by Marshall half an hour ago.

It was a picture of two marriage certificates tagging two words—“Happy Day”.

Clara stared at it for a while, eyebrows knitting and then loosening but knitting again.

Kathrine was pregnant and Marshall loved her ardently. Therefore, their remarriage was not quite unexpected. After all they would get back together sooner or later.

Clara exited from Facebook and took a deep breath. A moment later, she suddenly smiled.

Marshall didn’t go to his company this afternoon. As soon as he reached home and posted the picture, he fondled the two marriage licenses preciously and never put them down.

Katherine was a little tired so she had a quick shower and then lay in bed falling asleep.

Marshall touched her hair gently with his hand, their certificates in the other hand. He felt really happy.

But after a while he looked down at Katherine, feeling it unfair that only he was so excited while Katherine appeared indifferent.

She was too calm.

Marshall thought himself a little unreasonable. When Katherine didn’t want to remarry him before, he felt upset. When he couldn’t make her jealous later, he was anxious.

Now they got back together again, yet he was still disquieted because of her peaceful reaction.

Marshall couldn’t make sense of himself now.

Maybe people could never be content with what they already had and always wanted more.

Marshall put the licenses down and lay down next to Katherine.

Katherine slept like a baby. Probably due to her subconscious habit, she turned over and groped for Marshall’s hug.

Marshall held her in his arms with satisfaction and closed his eyes.

They both slept well and when they woke up, it was turning dusk.

It was pretty lively downstairs. Khalid was back and other family members had arrived. They were all sitting in the lounge twittering.

When Marshall went down and showed up with Katherine, all the family members looked to them at the same time.

Katherine was calm at first but being watched by so many people, she turned to be shy.

Marshall put his arm around her shoulder and greeted everyone with a smile.

Old Mrs. Grant had got changed and looked gay and sprightly.

Frances gestured Katherine forward and told her to have some clean fruit.

Katherine went downstairs slowly with a respond and walked towards Frances.

Lydia looked quite happy today. She came over forwardly to greet Katherine and asked about her pregnancy test.

Katherine seemed not to awake from sleep. It took her a few seconds to make a respond.

“All is well,” she said.

Lydia smile uncharacteristically and said, “Oh dear! You’ve been taken good care of and, of course, the baby is well too.”

Then she turned to look at Khalid and asked, “Khalid, have you given the baby a name? You’d better prepare two in advance, one for boy and one for girl. Otherwise it would be too late when it’s time.”

Khalid finally could say something. “We can sit down taking a good look at our family tree and have a discussion to see if there is a good name. ”

Katherine didn’t care much about the baby’s name so she didn’t speak.

Lydia looked back to Lucas and said, “Look at Marshall. He’s gonna be a father. What about you?”

Lucas used to ignore his mother’s words but this time he said unexpectedly, “I get it.”

His reply made Lydia really pleased. Everyone could see the big smile on her face.

Lydia took a little peek at Katherine while speaking. However, Katherine didn’t bother to look back. She had no improper intercourse with Lucas at all and had no idea what frightened Lydia so badly. And she was quite ridiculous in Katherine’s view.

Old Mrs. Grant glared at Lydia for a moment until Lydia felt embarrassed and lowered her eyes.

Old Mrs. Grant waved to Katherine and asked her to come close. She held Katherine’s hands with a smile and said, “I haven’t been so happy for long. Kathy, you and Marshall are both lucky to have each other again after all these things. I doubted if it was wrong to bring you together. But it turns out that you are perfect for each other. ”

There seemed to be some implications in her words.

Everyone present stared at one another and finally diverted attention to Lydia.

Lydia was so embarrassed that she tried to change the topic. She said that Lucas had had a girlfriend and when the time was right, he would take the girl home to meet them.

Lucas had no response. He seemed uninterested in what they were talking about.
