CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Nobody would want this outcome.
Clara stared at elder Mr. Henderson, “Am I this vicious to you?”
Elder Mr. Henderson’s eyes were all read and Clara can tell that he would break down at any time.
Eyes closed, Clara felt that the whole world was spinning around her.
When Marshall went back to home after work, he told Katherine about Jakub’s car accident.
Katherine was taken aback. Though she didn’t know Jakub, she had heard about him through Clara.
She can always see Clara sending Jakub to the cramming school before.
They must have had a great relationship.
Katherine hurriedly asked, “How is he? Is he okay?”
Marshall felt that he should be all right as though he was bleeding from the car injuries, the car speed in the intersection wasn’t
too fast.
So he just replied, “He should be all right.”
Khalid went back home at dinnertime.
Marshall remembered that Khalid was supposed to have dinner with elder Mr. Henderson, but now that Jakub got into a car
accident, the dinner must be canceled.
Khalid also heard about Jakub’s accident and said that he would have Lucas to visit Jakub in the hospital with gifts.
Though the relationship between the two families were pretty weird now, they still got cooperation going on, so they need to
maintain the surface work.
They had planned this already, but Marshall got the call early in the morning on the next day and heard that Jakub didn’t make it.
Marshall froze for a long time and said to the phone, “Okay, got it.”
It took him a long time to come to himself after hanging up the phone.

How can such a young boy just depart from this world all of a sudden?
Marshall felt uncomfortable, but to his mind, Jakub was always optimistic and bright. He was still young and got so much time to
live.
Katherine was still sleeping, so Marshall didn’t try to wake her up and just freshened up quietly and went downstairs.
Khalid was already downstairs and had got the news.
He looked downcast.
He glanced at Marshall and said, “I will come by the Hendersons first after breakfast and go to the company later. I got a meeting
this morning and need you to preside over it for me.”
Marshall nodded, “Okay.”
Khalid then just sighed, “How would it happen? What a great boy.”
Well, no one saw it coming.
Old Mrs. Grant didn’t go downstairs this morning and said that she didn’t sleep well last night and wanted to have breakfast at a
later time.
Khalid and Marshall just left after breakfast.
Khalid drove straight to the Hendersons and Marshall went to the company.
It was a pretty long meeting and by the time Marshall finished the meeting, he got two unanswered calls from Khalid.
Marshall went back to the office and called back hurriedly.
Khalid was still at the Hendersons.
Marshall lowered his voice, “What’s wrong? I just had the meeting.”
Khalid took a sigh, “If you have time, come by the Hendersons. Clara is not doing well and said that she wanted to see you.”
Marshall replied okay and didn’t really mind what Clara did before at this time.

Moreover, he told Clara about the car accident yesterday.
Clara must want to know some details from him.
Marshall checked the time and said that he would drop by at lunchtime and then asked how was the Hendersons now.
Khalid sighed, “It’s a mess here. All the elderly is sick now and couldn’t handle the blow.”
Elder Mrs. Henderson had cried herself to sleep over and over again. Elder Mr. Henderson was extremely low in spirits.
He didn’t want to meet other people and only wanted to see Khalid.
He had been talking with Khalid all day and told him what was going on with Jakub recently.
He really couldn’t figure out why would Jakub commit suicide.
What’s more, he blamed Clara for this accident to a certain degree.
Marshall didn’t really know what was happening in the Hendersons, but he felt that Jakub’s car crash was just an accident and
Clara shouldn’t be blamed for that.
Khalid wasn’t too specific on the phone and just told him to come by the Hendersons soon.
Khalid didn’t really like the Hendersons, but Jakub’s car accident was really heartbroken, so he had let go all of the grudges
towards the Hendersons.
Marshall got busy for a while and called Katherine who had woken up and was taking a walk in the garden.
Marshall told her to be careful and was really worried about her as she was always in a rush.
Katherine said okay and seemed to have had a good stretch.
Then she just asked how was his work and wondered why he was calling her at this time.
Marshall sighed and didn’t really know how to say that he edgy inside when he heard about Jakub’s death and wanted to hear
her voice.
He can only reply that he got the time and was bored after work and wanted to check on her.

Katherine nodded, “Okay, I’m okay here. I’ll leave you alone.”
After hanging up the phone, Katherine sat on the bench in the garden.
She scrolled through the phone and read the local news.
She hadn’t seen the local trendy new for a while and thought all of them boring.
Her finger suddenly stopped when she saw one of the articles and Katherine immediately frowned.
The headline of the article had “The Hendersons” in it and Katherine was pretty sensitive to these two words.
Katherine read every single word in the article carefully.
After reading it, she put the phone on the bench and just spaced out.
Marshall told her that Jakub was going to be all right yesterday, but now, he just passed away.
Katherine felt kind of depressed. She really didn’t bring herself to see this kind of news now.
Well, he was so young and could have infinite possibilities in his life.
Old Mrs. Grant waited for a long time and didn’t see Katherine, so she asked the maid to support her to find Katherine.
She saw Katherine from a long distance.
Katherine was sitting on the bench with her head looking at the sky and seemed to be sad about something.
Old Mrs. Grant hurriedly walked towards her and said, “Katherine, here you are.”
Katherine sat up straight and said to old Mrs. Grant, “What are you doing here, grandma?”
Old Mrs. Grant sat next to her, “What’s wrong? You don’t look happy.”
Katherine cracked a smile, “I’m not unhappy. I just saw the news about the Hendersons and is pretty sad about it.”
Old Mrs. Grant didn’t know Jakub’s accident yet and just thought that something was wrong about Clara once again.

She patted Katherine’s hand and said, “Don’t let Clara affect your mood. Everything would be wonderful as long as you and
Marshall are with each other happily.”
Katherine looked at old Mrs. Grant for a long time and then held her arm and nestled up to her, “Grandma, you got to live a long
time.”
She thought of his grandpa and how he was extremely painful and insecure on his deathbed.
He was even murmuring her name before he passed away.
She really couldn’t bring herself to recall these memories.
