Chapter 410 I don’t Think You are Going to Tell Marshall about It

After the talk, the group of men was about to leave Katherine’s house. Meanwhile, Marshall asked her to get dressed so that he could take her out for dinner.

Katherine nodded. She had spent hours on the way and the food on the train was terrible, and she was starving now. Therefore, Katherine went upstairs at once to get changed, while Marshall stayed where he was for a while before coming up with her.

Standing in the living room, Ralph chuckled. "I’ve never seen Marshall like that. It’s not like Katherine is about to leave or anything, but he can’t stand being away from her for a moment."

Peter let out a sigh. "That’s why I really don’t understand why Mr. Grant was determined to divorce her back then. Now it seems that he’s having a taste of his own medicine."

None of the people present was aware of the reason why Marshall and Katherine got a divorce. These two had always kept a low profile after they had got married, but unexpectedly, word got out that they divorced all of a sudden.

Marshall went into the room and saw Katherine putting on her clothes. He caught a glimpse of her bare waist and nothing else. Katherine gathered her coat around her and whispered in annoyance since there were still guests downstairs, "Marshall, could you knock on the door or make some noise before you enter someone else’s room? I don’t like you doing that."

Marshall nodded and played along with her. "It’s my fault. I won’t do it again."

Katherine said as she fixed her hair, "Why did you come up with me? I’ll be ready in a minute."

Marshall replied, "You left your phone downstairs before you went to bed and I got a call from your mother."

Katherine paused, her face darkening suddenly. "Don’t answer my phone next time."

Marshall heaved a sigh. "Katherine, I’m more than happy to offer help if you’re in trouble. Don’t worry if you’ll be owing me a favor."

Katherine didn’t feel like continuing this subject. "Enough of that. Let’s go downstairs. I’m starving." Hardly had she finished her sentence than she brushed past Marshall and walked out of the room.

Marshall followed behind. He had expected that the relationship between the them would take a favorable turn after he had made a trip to her hometown, but now it seemed that everything remained the same. He felt that there was still a huge gap between Katherine and him.

Katherine walked in front of Marshall with her lips compressed, but after some time, she finally gave a smile.

The group of people arrived at the restaurant. Kyle, the careless one, chose to sit next to Katherine, and didn’t notice Marshall’s sullen face at all. On the other side of Katherine sat Ralph, who could tell that Marshall was in a sulk, but he simply ignored it and kept calling Katherine "girl".

Katherine, however, didn’t pay attention to Marshall at all. She was waiting for the waitress to serve the food because she was indeed very hungry.

They ordered a lot of food because there were many of them. The waitress served the dishes and Katherine swallowed. "I’m eating now. I can’t help it."

Ralph chuckled. "Go ahead. It’s not like we don’t know each other. Don’t worry."

Katherine smiled before she started to eat, but paused after taking a few bites. Actually, she really wanted to fight back the nausea, but she couldn’t hold it back this time, no matter how hard she tried.

She dropped the chopsticks and it was already too late for her to go to the toilet, so she rushed out of the restaurant, squatted down and started to retch by the road, but nothing came out of her stomach as

usual, and she almost collapsed.

Marshall rushed out of the restaurant right behind Katherine, crouched down next to her and patted her gently on the back. "Do you have an upset stomach? Or food poisoning?" But Katherine had hardly eaten during the journey these days, and probably, something went wrong with her stomach again.

Katherine panted before replying, "I might have a relapse. I’ve been eating irregularly lately."

Marshall breathed a sigh and helped Katherine up. "Get in and drink some hot water. Take some meds after the meal when you get home later."

Leaning back in the chair, Ralph turned around to look at Katherine out of the restaurant. The look on his face was hard to read, but his eyes were gleaming.

Peter clicked his tongue. "I can tell it’s a rough journey. Katherine got carsick just now, and she almost threw up."

Kyle thought for a moment and chimed in, "I still remember when I was very young, I was on a trip to somewhere. The train was shaking terribly, and I almost threw up on it. I don’t usually get carsick, but somehow, I was so sick that time."

These men, who barely had any life experience, all believed that Katherine must have carsick.

However, Ralph chuckled. "You guys… Well, let’s eat." He choked back those words he had intended to say because it was improper for him to talk about it.

Katherine went back and Marshall asked the waitress to bring her some hot water. Katherine took sips of water and felt better.

Ralph stared at Katherine. "Don’t push yourself too hard, and eat whatever you don’t find hard to swallow. Poor girl."

Katherine glanced up at Ralph, who was smiling and staring at her meaningfully, and then she calmed herself down immediately, saying nothing. Later, she shoved some food down her throat because she had to eat, but she still felt sick after the meal.

Ralph asked the waitress to serve some fruit and put it before Katherine. "Maybe you won’t feel sick if you have some fruit."

Marshall shot a glance at Ralph but remained silent.

Katherine said thank you to Ralph and had some fruit, which didn’t make her sick.

After the meal, Katherine said she would go to her shop, while the rest people had their own business to attend to.

Ralph looked at Katherine and offered, "Your shop in on my way. I’ll take you there." Marshall frowned upon hearing that, but Katherine stared at Ralph for two seconds and agreed.

Marshall took a deep breath while Peter leaned over to him. "Mr. Walters said that he treated Katherine as his little sister. Take it easy." Hearing that, Marshall flicked a ferocious glance at Peter and shut him up.

Katherine said goodbye to Marshall and the others before she got into Ralph’s car. The car started as Ralph asked, "How far along are you?"

Katherine exclaimed as she turned to him, "What?"

Ralph sighed. "I mean, how long have you been pregnant?"

Katherine didn’t deny it, looking grim. "How did you know that?"NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Ralph replied with mixed feelings. "A friend of mine was just like you when she got pregnant, and I know it when I see you."

Katherine leaned back in the seat. "A little over one month."

Ralph kept asking, "Is it Marshall’s?"

Katherine looked helpless. "I have no other man besides him." In fact, she didn’t know how she got pregnant. Either she took pills or they slept during her safe period, and so far she hadn’t figured it out.

Ralph said after some time. "I don’t think you’re going to tell Marshall about it."

He was right. Katherine indeed didn’t want to tell Marshall the news because the relationship between them was a little awkward now. Marshall had an intention of taking Katherine back to begin with. If he knew she was pregnant, he would definitely ask her to remarry him. However, Katherine winced at the thought of marrying into the Grant family again. Even though Old Mrs. Grant was kind to her now, her heart ached as she thought of the life she had lived in the Grant Residence the year before. She didn’t want to remarry Marshall because she didn’t want to live that life again, nor did she want to form a family with Marshall just because of the baby.
