CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Hearing what Marshall said, Frances hesitated for a while. She was a little uneasy.
Katherine pinched Marshall's waist and said, “Stop it. Let sleeping dogs lie.”
“I was just curious. But I think mom won’t let me take her home.” Marshall laughed.
While they were talking, Khalid walked down from the second floor with a bag in his hand.
He walked over to Frances with a calm face and said, “I’ve packed up my clothes. Let’s go now?”
He was ready anyway.
After taking a look at Grandma Grant and Marshall, Katherine couldn’t help laughing out loud.
Grandma Grant let out a mock sigh and said, “You're an adult and have your own life. Both of you may go if you want. Frances is
too shy to stay here while Khalid is bold enough to go to Frances’s place.”
Frances blushed and raised her hand to pat Khalid on the shoulder. “What are you doing? You just take me home and come
back here.”
Khalid was not shy at all. “What do you mean ‘take you home and come back here’. We are supposed to go together.”
Noticing Frances’s embarrassment, Katherine held Marshall’s arm with a smile. “Well. We're not gonna kid you anymore. You
two may go together and take care. I’m a little tired. Marshall and I are going upstairs,” she said.
Marshall nodded at Khalid and Frances and then followed Katherine upstairs.
“Look, your parents are living a romantic life of old people.” Katherine laughed out loud when they came back to their room.
“I thought you wouldn’t come back to me until old age. I have tried everything I could to have you back. I wouldn’t know what to
do if you hadn’t said yes.” Marshall walked to Katherine and hugged her.
“What do you mean ‘didn’t know what to do’? Don't you have many admirers? Clara will come to you immediately if you want.”
She mentioned Clara again. Marshall was speechless.
“Why do you talk about her again and again? We are just friends. She is not as attractive and cute as you. I'm not stupid. Why
would I like her?” He hugged her intimately.

“Now you are good at sweet talks anyway.” She laughed and patted his hand.
“Well, you love hearing what I said, don’t you? I would like to say any word to make you happy.”
He approached her and said in a deep voice.
She stared at him for quite a while with a gentle and shy smile.
She hadn't laughed in a long time.
Marshall couldn’t help holding her face and kissing her.
Technically, this was their wedding night.
Things got a little out of hand when it started with a kiss. Katherine didn’t know how she entered the bathroom and how she was
taken out of it. Anyway, they kept hugging and kissing and went to the bed at last.
Marshall didn’t go too far and just stopped after lingering for a while for the sake of the baby.
Katherine was a little excited since they hadn’t had sex for a long time. She was pregnant and sensitive. The intimacy
overwhelmed her.
Lying beside her, Marshall gave her a hug and kissed her on her sweaty forehead gently.
There were a lot of words he wanted to say, such as ‘sorry’ or ‘I love you’. But he felt that words could not express his feelings.
After calming down, Katherine turned over and hugged him. She said, “Marshall, this is the last chance. I won’t come back to you
if you let me down again.”
Marshall patted her on her back and said in a gentle but firm voice, “Don’t worry. I won’t.”
He got his lesson.
After lying for a while, Katherine was sleepy. Marshall got up and put on clothes. He went get a hair dryer and dried Katherine’s
wet hair which was wet in the bathroom and then brought the nightgown and helped her put it on slowly.
Finally, he tucked her in and said, “You go to bed. I have something to deal with.”
Katherine didn’t open her eyes but fell asleep. Staying with her for a while, Marshall got out and went to the study directly.

He took out his cellphone and checked the messages sent by his men.
He walked to the window, opened the messages, stared at them for a while and then laughed.
‘People who commit crimes are generally intelligent.’ he thought before. This was why no goods were found during the attack in
the last trade.
Although Ryan was old, he was still smart enough to do it this way.
Marshall threw up his cellphone and then caught it and did the same thing once again. He pondered for a moment and then sent
a message to his men.
It’s simple. What he needed to do was just teach them what to do next time when something like this happened.
Then he went back to the computer and reviewed the files Clara had sent to him before.
There was no way to find out the account of the other party for many overseas receipts, but some rules about how often these
receipts were could be figured out.
There were quite a lot of files. When he finished reading it from beginning to end, it was almost midnight.
He flicked his forehead and went back into the bedroom.
Katherine had changed her sleeping posture. She was not elegant at all with both legs stretching out from the quilt.
Marshall sighed and went to tuck her in and lay down.
After a few seconds, Katherine approached and held his waist. “You are so slow.”
Marshall smiled. Katherine may not realize her sleep talking.
It must be the invisible dependence of one person on another.
Marshall was satisfied. He hugged Katherine and fell asleep with a smile.
He was overwhelmingly happy while Clara was a little miserable.

At dinner, Lily Austin Henderson began to cry again.
She said that she missed the whole family sitting together and eating. Now Jakub was not in the family so she was sad while
looking at the empty seat.
This was understandable but Lily cried so often that Ryan and Charlie were inpatient with her.
“Mom, take it easy. You have to move on. Be kind to yourself.” Clara held Lily’s hand.
Lily wiped her tears without speaking. Naturally, she ate nothing. She was sent back to her room by a servant.
During dinner, Ryan Henderson（Grandpa Henderson) kept persuading Clara to get along well with Marshall.
Clara was going to tell Ryan that Marshall had remarried Katherine. However, Charlie took up Ryan's refrain and he said they
would find someone who was helpful to the family for Clara.
Clara resisted the impulse to speak. She really didn’t know what to do.
She was not happy during the dinner. What was worse was that Charlie followed her to her room and asked about how she and
Marshall were getting along recently.
Clara looked up at him and spoke slowly, “Marshall has remarried Katherine.”
Charlie was dumbfounded for a while. Then he nodded. “It’s indeed a little troublesome, but it's no big deal,” he said.
