CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 459 She Saw Them Accidentally

Katherine and Frances stood at the shop front for a while before they went in.

Margaret thought another customer came and said, "Welcome!"

Katherine beamed a smile at her, "Hey girl, seems that business is good."

Margaret paused and looked up at Katherine. "Wow, you’re here, Katherine!"

Eden, meanwhile, nodded at Katherine as he was packing up the pastries.

Katherine glanced at Eden and asked Margaret in a whisper, "So, you two are taking care of the shop as a couple now?"

Margaret was a little shy. "He resigned some time ago. His family wants him to run his own business, so he comes to help me when he’s free."

Katherine nodded and sat down with Frances.

Margaret asked Eden to serve the customers before she came to Katherine’s side. "How are you doing? How are you dealing with the pregnancy reaction?"

Katherine gave a nod. "I’m good. Everything’s going well."

She threw another look at Eden, finding him doing a great job serving the customers and packing up goods.

Margaret followed her glance and whispered, "We’ve met each other’s parents and are discussing the date of wedding. If nothing else, we’ll get married very soon."

Katherine was a little surprised to hear that. "Really? You two are fast."Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Margaret scratched her head with embarrassment. "We hit if off straight away, and we’re very well suited. Then we go with the flow and voila, here we are. Everything just comes together naturally."

Katherine nodded. "Sure! I never expected you to get married so soon. I’ll give you a big bonus on your wedding day."

Margaret grinned.

Frances looked around the shop and asked, "How’s business going?"

Margaret replied immediately, "Business is booming. The other day, Mr. Havorford ordered a lot of desserts, and we were so busy with that order. Luckily, Eden lent me a hand. He learned fast, and he was a great help."

Frances said, "That’s great. We’re lucky to have you two look after the shop." Then she cast a glance at Katherine’s underbelly. "Katherine is getting closer to the due date. After she gives birth to the baby, she needs to take care of it, and she won’t have much time to look after the shop. If possible, we hope you two can take care of the shop."

Katherine nodded approval. "That would work. Since you two are looking after the shop, you’ll get the bulk of the money."

Margaret felt a little sorry upon hearing that because originally, she took over the store and ran it poorly. It was because of Katherine that business got better. Besides, Kyle and Marshall ordered from them simply for the sake of Katherine. Otherwise, their turnover wouldn’t have increased so spectacularly. Therefore, she felt guilty getting the larger share of profits.

Katherine smiled, "Look, I do nothing but I get the money, and I should be the one feeling guilty. Don’t worry. If you think it’s a good deal, let’s shake on it."

Margaret looked back at Eden and said, "I need to talk it over with him. I wonder if he would join me."

Katherine nodded. "OK, but anyway, let’s talk about it after you two get married. When you become a family, you’re of a mind."

Margaret agreed and asked Katherine how it had gone.

Katherine didn’t tell her much, but only said she was fine. What had happened between Clara and her was not important enough to be told to anyone.

Meanwhile, Frances simply sat aside and listened to them, chiming in from time to time. Sometimes, her gaze would fall upon Margaret, and then move away slowly.

They had talked for some time before Frances reminded Katherine that it was time for them to leave because if they stayed longer, they would hurt their business.

Katherine agreed at once, "Yes, it’s time to go. Go ahead with your business."

There was a lot of work to do, and Eden was too busy to attend to business alone.

Katherine waved goodbye at Eden at the entrance of the shop before coming out with Frances. The two of them didn’t stop a taxi, but took a walk along the street.

Frances said, "Margaret is a good girl. She realized she was wrong and has corrected her mistakes properly. She’s the one you can keep in touch with."

Katherine wondered, "What do you mean by that? I don’t understand it."

Frances smiled, "Katherine, Katherine, sometimes you’re smart, but sometimes you’re stupid. Well, just forget it. I just want to tell you, Margaret is someone you can be friends with."

Katherine replied, "Yeah, I know that."

The two of them didn’t go back home. Instead, they hung out on the streets and ate at a restaurant.

Katherine had strong security awareness and had been watching for anyone following her. But since it was daytime, no one would follow her openly. It was safe along the way and finally, Frances took Katherine to an restaurant. She wanted Katherine to have something good for her health.

Staring at the seafood restaurant opposite them, Katherine paused as she walked into the restaurant.

Frances didn’t catch on and grabbed her arm. "You can have seafood after you give birth. It’s not good for your body now. Come on. Let’s have some organic food."

Katherine agreed and followed Frances into the restaurant. She took a few steps and couldn’t help looking back at the seafood restaurant.

She just saw two familiar figures, but wondered if she was wrong.

Frances took her into a private room on the second floor, which had a window facing the street. Katherine looked through the window and watched the people down on the street as soon as she got in.

She compressed her lips and stared at the entrance of the seafood restaurant across from her, but she could see nobody there now. It was impossible for those two familiar figures to come out so soon.

Meanwhile, Frances was ordering. She glanced at Katherine and said, "What are you looking at over there? Come here and order something you like to eat!"

Katherine agreed and hesitated for a moment before she came over to Frances.

She took the menu and said, "I seemed to see Mrs. Henderson just now."

Frances paused, looked at Katherine and said, "It’s quite normal. Maybe she’s out to meet a friend."

Katherine frowned. "Not likely. The two of them are casually dressed, or shall I say, they dress down deliberately."

Frances was surprised to hear that. She had met Mrs. Henderson many times. That woman was just like the woman she had used to be. She loved putting on airs and must dress up as long as she had to step out of the door. Frances had never seen Mrs. Henderson walk out of her house dressing casually.

She thought for a while and asked, "Is she alone?"

"No," Katherine replied, ordered two dishes quickly and handed the menu back to the waitress. "We’ll have these for now, and we also want some water."

When the waitress left the room, Katherine continued, "There was a man. I saw the two of them meet briefly at the entrance before they went in."

"A man?" Frances frowned. "Maybe you were mistaken?"

It was impossible for Mrs. Henderson to come to such a restaurant to meet a man. Mrs. Henderson always protected her reputation, and she would never go out with a man without her husband.

Katherine wasn’t sure about it either. She just caught a glimpse of them and doubted if she was wrong.
