CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 251 Infected by You

Clara looked so calm that nobody can notice her sadness.

She laughed, "I don't mean anything else, just want to know."

Marshall seemed to have thought about it for a while. It has been a year. He could hardly remember the scene when he went to the Henderson’s to break off their marital engagement if Clara didn’t bring it up.

Marshall said, "I should be honest with you, Clara. I didn't want to break off the engagement, because I think we are both from respected family. When I break off the engagement, it will do harm to you or your family. In particular, you are a girl, you will be embarrassed. That is what I thought at the beginning."

Clara chuckled and laughed, "Actually, you are right. I was embarrassed. I felt like I was dumped."

She said in a light tone, as if she didn't care at all.

The atmosphere was not that tense.

Marshall smiled, "That’s why I always feel sorry for you."

Clara sighed, but then changed the topic, "I think you and Miss Jordan are having a good relationship now. Auntie told me that the two of you are not getting along, and about to divorce. I was worried."

Marshall raised his eyebrows, "She was talking nonsense. She doesn't like Kathy, so she wants us to get a divorce, but in fact our marriage is great."

Clara forced a smile, "I think so too."

Marshall turned around, and looked beyond, he let out a long sigh, "Katherine is a paper tiger, she is actually cute."

Clara pursed her lips and didn’t say anything.

Because she didn’t know what to say.

After a while, Marshall heard Katherine’s voice over the stairs.

Katherine hummed and hopped downstairs, holding something in her hand.

Sitting on the sofa, Lucas spoke to Katherine, "What are you so happy about?"

Katherine smiled, and came down quickly, "Grandma gave me a treasure."

Khalid looked at Katherine and smiled, "If it’s from grandma, it might be a real good thing. She has a lot of good things."

Katherine went over, just like presenting treasures, she opened the velvet box and showed it around to everyone.

There was a piece of jade inside, emerald green, crystal clear.

Khalid was stunned.

Katherine actually didn't understand the value of jade, but they all said that jade was priceless, and it was from grandma, so it must not be a cheapie.

Mrs. Grant was not here. She was disgraced during the birthday party, and she went upstairs to rest.

Khalid licked his lips. If Mrs. Grant saw the jade, she would probably be mad.

Khalid stared at the jade for a while, and said, "It was a love token given to grandma when grandpa was young."

Mrs. Grant has been thinking about it for a long time, and has always wanted it.

But grandma cherished it so much.

Katherine was stunned and her eyes opened wide.

The jade was so meaningful, and grandma gave it to her, Katherine felt it was inappropriate for her to take it.

She was pretty happy at first, but after listening to Khalid's words, she felt that this jade was almost like a hot potato.

Marshall and Clara heard them and walked over.

Marshall hadn't seen the jade before, so he stared at it, "It turns out that it was given to grandma by grandpa."

Katherine nodded, "I didn’t know that it is so precious."

She was a little embarrassed, "Or, I'll return it to grandma, I thought it was just a piece of ordinary jade."

Carson Grant said, "No need to return. Anyway, it will be passed on to you in the future. If it is given to you, you can keep it. There is nothing wrong with it."

Katherine looked at the jade, and then looked at Marshall.

Marshall stared at the jade and said, "Take it, anyway, it will be yours in the future, and it is yours in advance. There is nothing wrong with it."

Katherine said, "Then I will put it away first."

When she came back home, she could return it to Marshall.

The jade cannot be kept by her as a gift.

Katherine closed the box, and then carefully packed it in the bag.

Clara looked at Katherine's back without expression.

She had heard Mrs. Grant mentioned the jade.

Mrs. Grant was flippant, and she treated Clara as one of their own, and she told Clara about all her trivial matters.

Mrs. Grant said that Old Mrs. Grant had a jade pendant, which was given by Old Mr. Grant when they were young.

Mrs. Grant wanted it all the time, and she implied Old Mrs. Grant a few times, but Old Mrs. Grant didn't give it to her.

She said that the jade pendant was emerald green all over, with the pattern of a dragon holding a pillar, which she loved.

Clara remembered that she was comforting Mrs. Grant at that time, saying that Old Mrs. Grant wanted to keep such a precious thing to herself.

Maybe Old Mrs. Grant would pass it down to the next generation when she passed away.

She told Mrs. Grant not to worry, the jade would be Mrs. Grant’s sooner or later.

Mrs. Grant said with a smile at that time, when she got the jade, she would pass it to Clara when she was old.

Clara was quite happy at that time.

But, how could Old Mrs. Grant give Katherine the jade so easily?

Even if it was to be passed down, it should be given to Mrs. Grant first.

Katherine packed the jade.

She thought she got a treasure, which turned out to be a hot potato.

Lucas stood up from the sofa, "I know too little to talk with you guys. You can continue your conversation and we young people want to go out and chat for a while."

He walked around from the sofa and looked at Katherine, "Wanna go out for a walk?"

Katherine nodded quickly and walked outside. When passing by Marshall, she raised her eyebrows at him, "Go out?"

Marshall said yes, then glanced at Clara.

Clara smiled, "Okay."

When these four people came out of the main building, Lucas breathed a sigh of relief, “Marshall is right. You can’t sit there and talk about business with them. It’s really a headache.”

Katherine laughed, "That's because you are capable of talking business with them. If I was there, it was them who will have the headache."

Marshall couldn't get Katherine’s cute self-mockery, so he looked on Lucas and Katherine laughing.

He felt displeased.

Clara walked towards Marshall and said in a low voice, "Miss Jordan and Lucas are getting along well."

Marshall sneered, he said calmly, "So what? If you miss the chance, you miss the chance."

Lucas heard Marshall’s words and froze.

Katherine looked back at Marshall with a frown, "What you are talking about? Are you out of your mind?"

Marshall has never been a person with a sense of humor, but this time he followed Katherine's words and said, "It may be that I just had the chicken soup with your spoon and was infected with insanity through your saliva."

Katherine was never afraid of this kind of braggart.

She said, "You had a lot of my saliva when we kissed. You were fine before, how could you get infected today?"

Clara and Lucas were embarrassed.

This topic was a bit inappropriate.

Marshall didn’t feel it was inappropriate, "Maybe I had a lot and fight poison with poison."
