CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 450 Another Chance

After saying that, she looked at Katherine, “But I have no idea what was in your mind either!”

Katherine leaned against the doorframe, looking casual, “You will find out when it’s time.”

Frances smoothed her top and tied her hair, “I have no idea about the tricks you are planning for. But you need to be aware that now you are pregnant. Take care and think twice before you make any move. Do you read me?”

Katherine nodded, “Alright, I know.”

Katherine took a look at the shopping bags placed on the bed. She walked over to lifted them up, “You really have a craze for shopping, huh? I still remember how much you have bought when we went shopping last time.”

Frances simply glanced at those bags, “They were all on Clara. She paid the money. She was incredibly hospitable today. Much more cordial than ever.”

Katherine smiled, “Isn’t that good? You were once nice to her and now she reciprocates.”

Frances replied, “But now she reciprocates because she is up for something. I don’t think I should be happy about that.”

Katherine responded with silence this time.

Marshall then walked upstairs and saw them talking in the room.

He walked over, “What are you talking about? Something secret?”

Frances was rendered startled a bit, “We are talking about her prenatal check a few days later. What else do you expect us to talk about?”

Hearing that, Marshall turned to be active about it. He hurried to look at Katherine and said, “Let me go with you. What do we have for the check?”

Katherine didn’t respond until staring at him for a while, “It’s okay if you want to. After all, I can’t just always keep you excluded. This time I will do a blood test and then a B-scan ultrasonography.”

Marshall smiled and touched her face with a sweet smile, “When?”

Katherine thought for a while and said, “In a few days, I will let you know beforehand.”

Marshall said alright and that was it.

He also talked about that sneaky camera worker they caught in the morning. He had got the video record in which there showed the man who paid for him. But that man fully covered himself. It was hard to see his face clearly.

But it wasn’t a problem for Marshall. He got the video records from the cameras nearby. So he could approximately locate where that man was.

Then he made Peter work on it.

But Katherine didn’t seem to care much about it. After hearing for a while, she stretched herself, “Just keep on talking. I am a bit tired. I gotta go back for a rest.”

Actually, she felt like being lazy.

Frances nodded, “Okay, get some rest.”

Marshall took a look at her. When she walked out of Frances’s room, he also followed over.

Both of them returned to the bedroom.

Katherine was about to lie down on the bed. But Marshall, who followed in a few seconds later, suddenly grabbed her arm, “Wait a second.”

Katherine was stunned. She turned around to look at him, “What’s wrong?” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

After some consideration, he walked back to lock the door. Then he walked over and stood in front of her with his lips pressed, looking a bit nervous.

Katherine was rendered confused while staring at him.

He took a deep breath and suddenly got down on one knee. Then he took out a jewelry box.

Katherine couldn’t help stepping backward out of instinct. She was startled by his move.

Marshall raised his head to look at her and opened the box while facing her.

Actually, Katherine could tell what it was even without taking a look.

Marshall continued with his soft voice, “That’s what I have owed you. Now I want to make up for it even though I can tell you might not give a fig for it.”

The diamond ring in the box was dazzling.

Actually, she had got an incredible diamond ring during the wedding at that time.

But Marshall hadn’t made a proposal before wedding. Nor did he want to marry her at that time. So neither of them really cared about the sense of occasion.

Katherine lowered down her head to stare at it, frowning, “You bought another ring?”

Marshall nodded, “It’s customized. And I just got it today.”

Katherine fixed her eyes on it for a while. Actually, she didn’t know much about how to judge a ring. But she could tell from the size of the diamond that it must be quite expensive.

Katherine then huffed, “Huh, what a waste of money!”

But Marshall didn’t seem to care what she said. He kept his posture still, “Katherine, will you marry me? Please, spare me one more chance! Please!”

His tone sounded humble.

Hearing that, she seemed to soften her poker face a bit.

She slowly shifted her gaze from the ring to his face, “Marshall, what are you thinking? I am still who I used to be. I am humble in social status, poorly-educated and also poorly-mannered. I still remember how much you once disdained me, right? What’s wrong with you? Are you out of your mind?”

Marshall reached out his hand to grab hers, “Actually I didn’t even care if you were poorly-educated or poorly-mannered…I was just…”

Marshall found it difficult to describe what was in his mind at that time.

Actually, the only thing about Katherine that annoyed him before was her soft personality. He deemed her too submissive and not daring enough.

But he had never disdained her out of her background, education or manners, none of which had been taken into his consideration.

With her lips pressed, Marshall didn’t reply until quite a while later, “I look indifferent to you just because I don’t like you to be submissive. You had been too focused on me at that time. So….”

But his explanation sounded a bit weird.

Katherine frowned, “You disliked me just because I was being too nice to you in the old days? Now you show your favor for me because I turn to be cold to you?”

Confused, she added, “Marshall, are you messing with me?”

Marshall made a click of the tongue, “No, that’s not what I mean.”

But even he himself failed to tell what he just exactly meant.

After thinking for seconds, he decided to stop explaining about it. He looked into her eyes, “I know I was rude to you. But from now on, I will do my best to make up for it. Katherine, please, spare me one more chance.”

He then took out the ring from the box.

Katherine hurried to draw back her hand.

Marshall paused, lips pressed, “I don’t mean to get a yes from you right now. I just want to beg for a chance to start again. You can take your time to judge while watching with your own eyes. If so, at least I feel much more relieved.”

While speaking, he held her hand again.

Katherine suddenly clenched her fist. But this time she didn’t draw back her hand.

Marshall smiled and gently unfolded her fist. Then he carefully put the ring on her finger.

Katherine didn’t seem to be relaxed.

Actually, she did change her mind a bit when hearing his humble confession.

But at the same time, she was still a bit aggrieved.

And now the aggrieved feelings overwhelmed her when she recalled how she was once treated by Marshall.

But Marshall seemed to be happy. He slowly stood up and grabbed her hand to watch. A smile appeared on his face, “It perfectly fits in. It seems that I still clearly keep the size of your finger in my mind.”

Katherine said with low voice while watching the ring, “But it doesn’t mean that I have forgiven you. You need to be aware that saying sorry is never enough to make up for it. As you have said, I will keep watching and judging you from now on.”

Marshall reached out his arms to hug her, “That’s enough for me. That’s what I ask for. Thank you!”

After quite a while, Katherine closed her eyes and let out a breath.

She couldn’t tell what was in her own mind at this moment.
