CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 390 Worry

Katherine stayed asleep somebody woke her up.

She felt giddy. Somebody helped her sit up and felt the temperature of her forehead.

Katherine was a bit annoyed. She snitched the man's hand off. "Go away."

It was Marshall. He thought for a while and then picked her up in his arms. Then he carried her upstairs.

He felt his body temperature. She should be alright.

He put Katherine on the bed and asked, "Are you alright? What's wrong?"

Katherine rolled over and didn't answer.

Marshall sat by her bedside. He was worried because Katherine didn't seem well.

She didn't even know he had come in, and she didn't respond to his questions at all.

He waited for quite a while until he had to go. He checked the time, and went downstairs.

Katherine had a sound sleep. It was already in the afternoon when she woke up.

Her mind went much clearer. She got up, got stretched, and went downstairs.

Marshall was standing downstairs, with another man.

Katherine was startled. "Marshall, what are you doing here?"

Marshall turned over and glanced at her. Then he said to the man before him, "Thank you."

The man waved his hand and left with a case in his hand.

Marshall then turned around and walked over. He stared at Katherine. "Go upstairs and wait. I'll make you some soup."

Katherine frowned, "What are you doing? Who's that?"

Marshall replied, "He's a doctor and friend of mine. I called him over to check on you. You slept so soundly that you didn't even feel the check."

Katherine slept so deeply just now that she didn't even know someone else was in her home.

Marshall walked up and put his arm around Katherine's shoulders. He took her back to her room and said, "You seemed weird while you were sleeping just now. So I called him over to check. Thank god, there's nothing wrong."

Your body temperature was normal, and so was your blood pressure. The doctor said that you might have been too tired.

Marshall then realized that she might not have slept very well for the rest of the night after he startled her.

It was his fault. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Katherine did feel tired. She went back to her room and lay on the bed again. Then she said, "I don't want to have anything now. Just leave me alone. I'll get something to eat later by myself when I feel hungry."

But Marshall didn't want to leave because he still felt worried. He sat on her bed and said, "Go to sleep. I'll be here for you."

Katherine snorted. She wouldn't need him. Nobody else could break into this house except for Marshall himself.

She didn't want to talk to him anymore, so she turned over and fell asleep in a daze.

Marshall pondered and laid down beside Katherine.

Katherine didn't sleep well last night, neither did he.

No one could sleep well with annoyance in his heart.

After a while, Marshall slowly hugged Katherine from behind, and then fell asleep.

The atmosphere was sweet and the room was quiet. They kept in that position till the night fell.

Marshall woke up first, and he saw it was getting dark.

He checked the time and quickly went downstairs.

The soup was already cold, so he warmed it up again.

As soon as he turned off the stove, his phone rang in the pocket.

Marshall picked it up and asked, "What?"

An affectedly sweet voice of a woman came from the other side, "Mr. Grant, are you busy now?"

Marshall didn't reply. The woman hurriedly added, "I didn't see any problem. It has been days and I haven't seen anything wrong."

Marshall thought and said, "Take it easy. Now that they were so calm, we should be steady, too."

The woman sighed, "It's boring, and that is something I hated the most."

Marshall picked up a bowl and scooped some soup.

He made this soup step by step according to the tips on the internet. He had sipped advance. It wasn't half bad.

It was good enough for a first-timer. He could only hope that Katherine wouldn't dislike and don't want it.

The woman on the other side of the phone heard the sound. She chuckled, "Are you in the kitchen?"

Before he could speak, the woman sighed, "Who's the lucky one?"

Marshall seemed to have lost patience. "Hang up the phone if you don't have anything else to tell me. I've got other things to do."

The woman could tell he was a bit unpleased. She laughed, "Fine... I'll go and keep working hard for you."

Marshall hung up the phone. Then he went upstairs with soup.

Katherine had finally made up for the sleep she lost last night. As she sat up, she felt her mind clearer than ever.

She stretched and said, "Maybe I've been too busy lately. My body malfunctioning due to lack of sleep."

Marshall put the soup on the nightstand. He passed her a towel for her to wipe her face and hands. He was so considerate.

Katherine accepted his service. She watched him serving her and asked bluntly, "Where did you learn this?"

Marshall laughed, "How is it? Are you satisfied?"

Katherine snorted, "It's OK. I'll tip you if you're doing this for a living."

After she finished using the towel, Marshall turned away to the bathroom and put it back. He said, "Doing this for a living? You're the only one I will do this for. Other people would never have this opportunity."

Katherine stopped talking. The hunger is giving her a stomachache.

She had only eaten some omelets so far today. All the energy had been used up by this evening.

Marshall served the soup and said, "Don't get yourself exhausted. Your condition and look today made me worried."

He came in and saw her sleeping on the sofa. and her face looked as if she was having an acute disease.

She wouldn't respond to him, and he almost picked him up and send her to the hospital.

Katherine didn't say anything. She didn't give a thumbs down to Marshall's soup; instead, she finished the whole bowl of it. Maybe she's just being too hungry.

She was soaked in sweats. When she finished it, she said to Marshall, "Go out, I need to take a shower."

Marshall didn't talk back to her this time. He picked up the tableware and left."

Katherine locked the door from inside and got quickly refreshed.

She had finally taken the exhaustion off herself.

She came out and got dressed. Then she stood by the window.

While wiping her hair, she looked down at Marshall in the yard.

Marshall was watering the flowers in a very careful manner.

That was what he would never do before.

There used to be nothing but work in his life.

She had done lots of things to make him happy, but he either didn't care about them or ignored them.

He chose to ignore most of the details in life.

That was why Katherine was so surprised when she saw him watering the flowers and cooking in the kitchen.

It was right at that moment that she saw the character of an ordinary man in him.

Katherine opened the window and leaned on the sill to look out.

Marshall finished watering the flowers. He looked up and saw Katherine was there.

Katherine didn't look at him. She was looking into the horizon far away.

Her wet hair fell loosely on her shoulders, which looked so beautiful.

Marshall raised his head and grinned a smile. He couldn't move his eyes away from her.

Katherine stayed there for a while. Then she tucked her hair and turned back in.

Marshall chuckled.

Katherine must have noticed his gaze. She was being shy.

Finally, she had other feelings for him instead of impatience.

Marshall walked into the living room.

He stood near the stairs, looking up and yelling, "Katherine, what would you like to eat tonight? I'm still an amateurish cook! Do you mind if I order a pizza delivery?"
