Chapter 576 I Want to Make up for It

When it was about lunchtime, Marshall went back to the Grant Residence on time.

He had changed his clothes and had clearly groomed himself as he looked quite dashing.

Katherine was still scrolling her phone upstairs.

Marshall greeted Frances downstairs and went upstairs.

He walked in gently and Katherine didn’t even hear him as she was lying on the bed with her phone.

Marshall gazed at Katherine through the crack of the door.

Leaning against the bedside, Katherine’s pregnancy belly was pretty obvious.

Dressed in a plain colored home wear, Katherine’s hair was in a loose bun and she looked quite gentle.

Instead of going in the bedroom, Marshall stood with his arms folded and just examined Katherine.

Katherine was clearly watching something and would frown and then laugh afterwards.

Marshall raised the corner of his mouth and increasingly found Katherine interesting.

He waited for a couple of more minutes, but Katherine still didn’t move her sight from the phone.

Marshall had no choice but to push the door open and entered.

It took Katherine a few seconds to notice Marshall and she immediately jumped down from the bed and hugged Marshall without saying a word.

Marshall laughed and Katherine can palpably feel the vibration in his chest.

He then said, “This is the first time that you are so clingy to me.”

Well, actually, Marshall was right

Before when they weren’t divorced, Katherine was quite good at sizing up the situation and would never show any public affections to Marshall.

After they got divorced, she was quite mad about Marshall and was always indifferent to him.

This was officially the first time that she was so cute towards him.

Marshall hugged Katherine tightly and swung her, “I’m great. Don’t worry about me.”

Katherine looked up in watery eyes, “You didn’t answer my calls yesterday and didn’t come back. I’m worried sick.”

Marshall caressed Katherine’s face and pecked it, “I got to deal with something last night. My phone was on mute, so I didn’t hear the calls.”

He pinched at her face and then continued, “I was exhausted by the night and was afraid that you might get disturbed, so I just slept in the company. Don’t you trust me? No one can endanger your husband.”

Katherine stared at Marshall for a while and then answered, “Well, you’d better be as awesome as you said you would be.”

Marshall kissed on her forehead and then they smooched for a moment and got downstairs.

Some of the dishes had been served when they got downstairs and Frances was coming upstairs while wiping her hand.

Katherine called Frances mom and said, “Isn’t grandma coming downstairs?”

Frances was taken aback when Katherine called her mom.

She seemed a bit awkward and said, “Well, I loved it when you called me Mrs. Mason. I felt like there was no generation gap between us, but now you are calling me mom, I suddenly felt like I am much older.”

Katherine giggled, “Well, same here. I felt weird, too.

Let’s stick to “Mrs. Mason” then.”

Katherine chimed in, “Should I also call you Mrs. Mason?”

Frances glared at him, “Well, you don’t want to be my son or don’t want me as your mother?”

Marshall immediately shut up and regretted joining in the conversation.

Frances then turned to Katherine, “Your grandmother isn’t downstairs yet. I will call her upstairs.”

She then passed Marshall and Katherine and went to the second floor. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

After getting downstairs, Katherine stretched herself, “Right, did Kyle contact you yesterday?”

Marshall nodded, “Yeah. His tip is actually quite useful. He may seem carefree normally, but he can be really helpful in some critical times.”

Katherine instantly beamed, “He seems to be at Mitchell’s place right now. I don’t know why, but I just feel like that there is something going on between them.”

Marshall remained quiet and didn’t answer.

He actually talked about Rosie with Kyle.

Though she had changed her job, she was still a detective before and had some strings.

Therefore, it was much more convenient to include her in dealing with this matter.

Then they just waited in the dining room for a while and Frances came downstairs with Old Mrs. Grant who looked like that she just woke up and was held by Frances carefully.

Katherine heard that they were talking about the Masons.

She then remembered that Old Mrs. Grant was going to drop by at the Masons today.

When they were having lunch, Old Mrs. Grant said, “I will go to the Masons this afternoon and Frances would stay here. Kathy, do you want to eat anything? I will buy you some when I come back.”

She was literally treating Katherine like a child.

Katherine shook her head, “Nothing particular. I’m okay. We have all the fruit at home. I will have some this afternoon.”

Old Mrs. Grant smiled, “I wasn’t nice to you before and I want to make up for it.”

Katherine beamed, “Well, Marshall would be taking great care of me.”

Old Mrs. Grant nodded and glanced at Katherine and Marshall who were even holding their hands together while having lunch.

She laughed and said, “Marshall is great to you now.

I can see it.”

Then she lamented, “Being young is surly sweet.”

Katherine and Marshall both didn’t say anything and their hands were holding together much tighter.

Frances chortled, “These two are more lie each other now and their temper is nearly the same now.”

Katherine giggled, “Actually, I’m much sweeter than him.”

Marshall pinched at Katherine hand and said, “You can say whatever you want, as long as it makes you happy.”

The vibe today was definitely better than that of last night. While they were having lunch, they talked freely.

Old Mrs. Grant asked Marshall, “How come you didn’t come back last night?”

She seemed to be in Katherine’s favor and added, “You can’t do this anymore from now on. Katherine is pregnant now and you can’t just leave her at home. You can always make some time out of work. I don’t really believe that you are even working at night.”

Marshall nodded and didn’t really explain what he did last night and just promised, “I won’t do that again in the future. I will try to come home earlier from now on and accompany Katherine.”

Old Mrs. Grant nodded and turned to Katherine, “He has made a promise today and if he can’t deliver it, come to me and I will yell at him for you.”

Katherine knew that she was taking this opportunity to soothe her anxiety last night.

She then nodded, “Sure, grandma, but you got to promise that you won’t take his sides.”

Old Mrs. Grant glared at Marshall, “Of course I won’t. I will get my cane ready and if he fails to deliver his promise, I will for sure whip him.”

Marshall laughed and didn’t say anything.

As they were all quite merry today, Katherine ate much more than that of yesterday.

After lunch, Katherine suddenly thought of something and turned to Marshall, “Right, I heard that Lucas got a girlfriend. Have you seen that girl?”

Marshall frowned.

He was swamped these couple of days and didn’t even see Lucas, let alone his girlfriend.

He then answered, “Well, I’ve heard about her. Auntie Lydia went to the company two days ago and said that she was going to have lunch with Lucas’s girlfriend, but I didn’t really see her.”

Frances then chimed in, “Well, just wait and see. Lydia will tell you everything. You don’t need to ask her.”

Frances was certainly right.

Katherine was amused, “That’s true.”
