Chapter 466 The Reality is "I Love You"

Katherine was not very surprised to hear Marshall's words. She just smiled.

Marshall stared at Katherine, a bit surprised, "You know that?"

Katherine sighed, looking at the road ahead, "I heard about that after we divorced."

Nobody told her the truth. Katherine came to know it by accident. Once she was sitting in the garden, when the chance conversation between Lucas and Lydia made Katherine prick up her ears.

Lucas and Lydia were too focused to notice her. They opened up and talked a great deal.

Initially Katherine was shocked indeed when she found that her fiancé was Lucas, actually.

Her hand in marriage was given to Marshall straight away since Lucas did not have a crush on her.

At that time, Katherine almost deduced the reasons of why Marshall disliked her.

Meanwhile she understood him a little bit more.

Marshall compressed his lips. He read an indifferent expression on Katherine's face, whereupon he spoke up.

"Originally, Old Mr. Grant intended to let Lucas be your groom. At that time I had an engagement and our other brothers were living abroad. Lucas was an ideal choice on this occasion," Lucas said.

"Well," Katherine replied, "But Lucas rejected."

Marshall thought for a while before he spoke, "No, Lucas did not reject. It was rejected by his parents."

Katherine nodded, "But it's all the same for me."

Marshall sighed, "Lucas is a very amenable child. He rejected directly when he heard his parents rejected the idea. There was no alternative, so they arranged you for me."

Katherine chuckled with a complicated mindset, "Poor Marshall, your engagement was ruined by me," she said.

Marshall held over Katherine's hands in his palms, "To be frank, my unwillingness was owing to the rivalry between Lucas and me. It was not because I was reluctant to cancel the engagement to Clara. Anyway, Katherine, can't you feel my love for you now?"

Katherine glanced up at Marshall. She forced but unable to form a smile. "You should live happily if you married with Clara. Clara is a sensible girl who will complaisant to your will. You will become emotionally involved with her."

Marshall stopped beside Katherine. He turned and looked at her.

Katherine had to stop moving. She looked nonchalant.

By contrast, Marshall was slightly serious, "For the past, no if, and no maybe. I married you. Now I have totally fallen in love with you. This is the reality. For what did not happen in the past, we cannot assume. Katherine, are you dwelling on the past? How can you make sure that Clara and I will be happy if I marry her? You were a meek wife in the past, but I was still unhappy and unfulfilled. How can I be affectionate towards another woman? How could you think in this way? It's unfair for me!"

Katherine fell silent.

Marshall sighed, "Katherine, there is only you in my heart now. You should know that and don't let your imagination run away with you. If you go on like that, I will be tormented by feeling of insecurity."

Katherine felt an irresistible urge to laugh.

It was surprised to hear that Marshall could have the sense of insecurity.

Originally she thought only women need the sense of security.

"Got it," After a few seconds, Katherine responded with a little impatient.

Marshall took her in his arms slowly, "I often wondering what am I going to do with you."

What should he do?

Show full affection and give full support, of course!

Still wondering? Katherine tittered.

Before Marshall and Katherine arrived home, they walked far away along the road. They found Frances had not come back.

Katherine checked the time, "It was not very early now. Frances still not back yet. Where did she go?"

Marshall also glanced at the clock, "Just wait. She may be not in a good mood and relaxes herself outdoor."

Darcie finished cleaning. They three watched TV while waiting for Frances downstairs.

Actually, Frances did not walk far away. She met Cora on the road and she went to a cafe with her.

Frances did not feel surprised when Cora came to visit her.

Cora was infatuated with Khalid. These days, Frances had visited Khalid many times.

That made Cora lack of security. It was understandably that she wanted to learn more about Khalid to make things clear.

As time went by, the delicate game became more and more amused.

Frances thought of how she came bothering Cora openly as the mistress of Chi family previously.

The situation was reversed.

It's ironic.

Cora and Frances had eaten meals before they sat in the cafe, so they only ordered some snacks.

Cora was straight-forward, "It's very abruptly for me to visit you today. However, after careful considerations, I determined to visit you. I owe you an apology; you must have found I made you feel uncomfortable."

Cora's demeanor made Frances blushed with shame. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Frances felt her behaviors were hardly presentable compared to Cora's.

She said hurriedly, "No, never mind. I did not feel uncomfortable. I have prepared for your visit."

Cora smiled, "I also think my thoughts can be easily read by people around me. I am not good at conceal them."

However, Khalid seemed cannot understand her at all.

Cora poured a cup of tea for Frances, and said, "In the past I don't have feelings for Khalid. Why he looked after me was all because I was hurt and alone. No other reasons. Khalid is really a gentleman of noble character."

Lowered her voice, Cora said again, "but later I've had a crush on him. It is true. I tell you."

She looked at Frances aboveboard, "At that time, you and Khalid had not got divorced, so I hid my affections in the bottom of my heart. I never kept on at him or had affairs with him. I can confirm that I did no wrong before you got divorced."

Looking at Cora, Frances realized she could trust Cora.

She felt guilty for what she had done previously.

"Yes," she said, without saying else.

Cora sighed, "Now you divorced. I think it's time for me to tell him that I love him. Besides, it seems that I am qualified to take more actions. Frances, I am not the destroyer of your marriage. I hope to explain it clearly to you."

"Of course, I know." Frances sighed deeply.

Her broken marriage had nothing to do with Cora.

It was all her fault.

When she finished talking, Frances looked up at Cora, "You are not only come to explain that, right? Do you want to tell me more?"

Cora paused, changed her expressions.

Frances sipped the tea.

It is inappropriate to drink tea in the late night. Thought of this, Frances set her cup down.

Cora lowered her eyes. A moment later, she said, "Yes. I want to tell you more."

Not until she took a deep breathe, Cora looked up at Frances again. "I love Khalid and I want to spend the rest of my life with him. Frances, your marriage with Khalid was resulted as a failure. There are problems between you and him. Even if you get remarried with him, the problems still exist and cannot be addressed properly. Can you keep yourself apart from him a little?"

It was hard to speak such words for Cora. She knew she had no grounds.

Frances stared at Cora evenly. She would be furious in the past for Cora's advice.

Frances replied, "You can tell Khalid about this. I never took the initiative to visit Khalid. If you think the relationship between Khalid and I was too close, you can make some actions. We are both free to visit him. After all you are not his girlfriend at present. As you know, in fact it was Khalid who took the initiative to visit me."
