CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 430 What A Coward

Ralph and Kyle arrived at the same time.

They bumped into each other in the lobby and just entered the private room together.

They both paused when they saw Frances present.

Though they hadn’t directly contacted with Frances before, they heard a lot of things about her.

She didn’t exactly have a terrible reputation, but her bad temperament was well-known.

While Old Mrs. Grant and Old Mrs. Walters chatted together, they mentioned Frances a lot of times.

So Ralph also got to learn some Frances’ matters from Old Mrs. Walters.

When they saw Frances joking about something with Katherine, their eyes met and immediately took the hint.

Marshall had ordered a few dishes before, now that Ralph and Kyle had arrived, Katherine buzzed the waiter in and gave them the menu.

While Ralph was checking the menu, Kyle asked, “What happened? You all seemed to be happy.”

He then looked at Marshall, “You seldom have this happy look. Tell me. What is this for?”

Marshall then glanced at Katherine who was pinching at the glass and acted like she hadn’t heard the question.

After ordering two dishes, Ralph handed the menu to Kyle, “Order the dishes first.”

Kyle nodded and got distracted and by the time he was done with ordering, he had forgot the question.

Kyle sipped the water and then turned to Eden who was sitting next to Margaret, “Well, you two sure looked sweet.”

Eden wasn’t exactly enjoying the atmosphere and just laughed, “I’m quite free today and wanted to check on her.”

Lips pursed, Margaret let out a shy smile, “He felt that I’m quite busy myself and wanted to land a hand.”

Kyle answered, “Well, you two are sure in love. I haven’t seen you so bashful before.”

He then turned to Katherine, “Am I right?”

Katherine nodded, “Yeah, she is never shy to any men around her.”

Margaret scratched her head and giggled.

She then looked at Marshall’s direction automatically.

Marshall didn’t know what they were talking about and just chuckled.

Margaret was secretly relieved and actually liked the current situation.

After teasing Margaret, Kyle went on droning about the Bennett Family.

He said that Alexis was sued for intentional assault finally.

Though that woman had been discharged from the hospital, she got evaluated about her injuries, so Alexis was destined to be detained for a few months.

Marshall grinned, “She must have lost control upon seeing me.”

Kyle gave a thumb up to Marshall.

After done talking about the Bennett Family, he mentioned Hector.

She really didn’t watch Hector’s show recently as she wasn’t exactly fit in the last few days and her relationship with Hector just grew to be more complicated.

Kyle said that the knockout round was coming next week, but all the ranks had been predetermined in shows like this.

All those players eliminated were also prearranged and only a few big hits would be left to the audiences to decide.

Kyle didn’t know what exactly happened between Marshall, Katherine and Hector.

He tended to see things in a less complex way.

Then he continued that he had called Hector who was clearly in a bad mood and should be stressful about the match.

Katherine didn’t say anything and Marshall just kept his mouth shut.

Kyle didn’t sense any tension and added, “Hector is always a calm one, but he was quite gloomy and said that he just wanted to get this match over with quickly.”

Eden had slow watched the show and chimed in, “Well, the show is about to end and has a quite fast rhythm. It’s a good show.”

Hearing Eden’s words, Kyle was quite pleased, “Right. Those players are all quite talented and to the audiences’ taste.”

Eden went on saying that he liked Hector’s performance and found it natural,

Kyle was happy to hear other people praising Hector and went on chatting with Eden.

Katherine was smiling the whole time and really hoped that Hector could get a great result. No matter what happened, she wanted the best for Hector.

Marshall looked at Katherine and got secure when he noticed Katherine’s calm look.

Well, what was he worried about? They got a baby on the way!

After all the dishes were served, all the people started having food and just changed the subject.

Marshall got merrier when he thought about the baby in Katherine’s belly.

He even ordered some drinks and said he would get an agent to drive the car for him.

Katherine frowned, “Why didn’t you call Peter?”

Marshall beamed. “He is dating recently and got no time for us. Let’s leave him alone.” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Katherine knew that Peter had crush on a girl and was getting to know her, but she didn’t really get the time to check on him.

Peter was actually quite a dependable guy. Though he joked a lot normally, he was self-motivated and was accountable.

Kyle was excited when he saw the drinks and immediately filled his glass.

When he was just about to top Katherine’s glass, Frances spoke out, “She can’t drink. She isn’t exactly fir recently.”

Kyle paused and something suddenly occurred to him, “Right, right. You have stomach troubles. Let’s refrain from the drinks for a while.”

Margaret turned to Katherine and wondered, “Are you feeling all right?”

Katherine grinned., “I’m much better.”

Margaret examined Katherine carefully and said, “You got to nurture your stomach, otherwise, you would suffer a lot in the future.”

Katherine nodded smilingly.

Holding the glass, Ralph sipped the wine and gazed at Katherine.

Katherine looked back and raised her glass and motioned to Ralph and then finished the water.

Ralph slowly looked away and turned to Marshall, “You are quite sweet to Katherine. Are you going to win my sister back?”

Marshall was quite straight-forward and answered, “I’m trying, but your sister is really cruel.”

Katherine sneered, “Well, continue. I’d like to see what you got to say about me.”

Marshall glanced at Katherine and went on drinking.

Frances chortled, “What a coward.”

Eyes wide opened, Kyle was shocked when he saw Frances’ reaction.

She seemed to be more down-to-earth than before and was less mean.

What a surprise.

Frances didn’t pay heed to Kyle and just stared at Marshall.

This was her son, but she still despised him.

But then she recalled Marshall was just like Khalid.
