CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Katherine drawled lazily, "So, I was the Henderson family’s target, not Clara’s, right?"
Marshall nodded. "It should be like this."
Katherine heaved a sigh. "It’s all your fault."
In fact, Marshall believed he was innocent. He never knew that he would get into such a big trouble back when he agreed to
marry Clara.
During the year he had been married, Marshall had cut all ties with the Henderson family, and seemingly, their past had been
wiped out. After his divorce, he hadn’t had any romantic involvement with Clara. But why did the Henderson family suddenly rake
up the past and stir up trouble at this time?
Blinking, Katherine pondered for a while before her mind ended up being in a turmoil. She said with a wave of her hand, "I’m
done with it. I don’t want to get involved. I’ll leave it to you." She continued as she stroked her underbelly, "I don’t have time to
think about anything else but the guy in my womb."
Marshall nodded and stroked her underbelly. "You relax and take care of yourself. Just leave everything to me."
This topic thus concluded.
Marshall went to have dinner, while Katherine sat beside him because she had nothing else to do. During the meal, Marshall
called someone, asking him to investigate whether the private bank was running some other secret business.
Meanwhile, Katherine was fiddling with her phone. When Marshall finished his call, she chimed in, "I’m surprised that Clara
actually asked you to look into something like that."
Clara must have so much confidence in him. The Henderson family was going after Katherine, which meant they were standing
on the opposite side of Marshall, but Clara actually asked him to look into the illegal business her family was running. Clara sure
had good reasons to do so, but Katherine still wondered what the hell that woman was thinking.
Marshall got amused watching Katherine, unsure whether she was jealous or not. Why would she suddenly say something like
that? He said after some consideration, "She can’t do it herself, and she has no reliable friends, so she comes to me. Besides, I
have a sneaking suspicion that she’s doing me a special favor by asking me to do it. She might have some other plan."

After all, Marshall had already known about the private bank and investigated it. It was just a matter of time before their illegal
business was made public. Now Clara was leaving herself a way out by showing all her cards to Marshall in advance. Marshall
wasn’t a ruthless person, and there was a strong possibility that he would let the Henderson family off.
Katherine nodded. "I thought Clara was a good-for-nothing, but now it seems that she’s quite smart."
Marshall smiled, saying nothing.
When Marshall finished his dinner, the two of them went upstairs. At this moment, one of his staff called him while he was putting
on his pajamas, so he answered the call in the bedroom. Katherine, however, had no interest in listening to him talking on the
phone. She took her pajamas and went to the bathroom. When she came out of it, Marshall was actually still talking on the
phone. They must be talking over something serious, or the call wouldn’t have lasted that long.
Katherine went to bed, but now she was forced to listen to the conversation.
Standing by the window and holding the phone with one hand, Marshall was tapping the sill randomly with his fingers. It seemed
that his men had found out the hideout of one of the drivers that had tailed him. Then she overheard the name "Husky" and sat
up straight slowly.
Those bits and pieces Marshall spoke were quite informative, but since Katherine didn’t know much about it, she found it hard to
piece together what they were exactly talking about. Then she began to wait patiently.
Katherine didn’t ask until Marshall hung up, "What have you done with Husky? Isn’t he at Kyle’s club?"
Marshall thought for a moment before replying, "A lot has happened after that. I’ll tell you everything when it’s all over."
It was a little difficult for Marshall to explain everything because the situation was too complicated.
Katherine waved her hand as she heard that. "Well, then don’t. I’m not interested in anything complicated now." All she wanted
was to live a simple life now. She was too impatient to deal with any complex situation.
Marshall smiled, rubbed her head and went to the bathroom. After a quick shower, he came out and took Katherine in his arms in
bed.
He felt a wave of desire surging through his body.
He got turned on again.

No man could stay calm when he held a beauty in bed but did nothing to her every day.
Marshall spoke in a husky whisper, "Katherine, I feel a bit funny now." He was using his baby voice, and Katherine knew instantly
what he wanted.
She slapped him on the hand, which was caressing her body, and warned him, "Behave! Your son’s watching."
Marshall pressed his lips together and said miserably, "But I can’t hold it in anymore."
Katherine closed her eyes. "You can let it go outside the room if you can’t hold it in."
Marshall widened his eyes in astonishment. "What are you talking about?" Now he had lost all his desire.
Actually, it was pretty early now, but Katherine got drowsy and fell asleep very soon.
Marshall got out of bed after a while. He took a look at his phone, got changed and went out of the room.
Katherine had no idea when Marshall had left. She just found the other half of the bed empty when she turned over while asleep.
Drowsy, she assumed that he had gone to the toilet, so she fell asleep again without thinking.
She didn’t wake up again until the day broke.
Katherine opened her eyes in a daze and saw Marshall sleeping sound right next to her. She breathed a sigh, unsure whether
the empty bed was her dream or reality.
In a few seconds Katherine was wide awake. She got out of bed quietly, washed up and went to the garden for morning exercise.
The morning air was so fresh. Katherine walked towards the backyard as she stretched her arms.
Meanwhile, Lucas strolled out of the building, looking as if he was ready to go.
Katherine was surprised to see him because it was really early. Normally, most people should be sleeping at this time.
Katherine greeted him with a wave of her hand. "Are you going out? It’s so early."
Lucas was also surprised to see Katherine, but he still nodded with a smile. "I have some business to attend to, so I have to
leave earlier."

Smiling, Katherine passed by Lucas and teased, "But it’s too early. Are you going on a date?"
Lucas paused and looked back at Katherine, who had already gone away. He pressed his lips together and wanted to say
something, but seeing Katherine getting farther away from him, he kept his mouth shut.
If it made little difference to say something, then he’d better not say it.
Katherine strolled around the backyard before finally going back into the main building. When she walked by the building
Carson’s family lived in, Lydia happened to come out.
The two of them were far away from each other, and exchanged glances as they going by each other. Lydia looked away
immediately, pretending not to have seen her, while Katherine gave up the idea of greeting her.
