CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 118 A Man and A Woman

Katherine didn’t want to imagine what Marshall and Clara would be talking about along the way. Since she couldn’t prevent it from happening, she didn’t want to bother herself with it. Katherine relaxed in bed for a while and then played the game on her phone, but Marshall still hadn’t come back yet. Katherine had no idea where Clara’s home was. Was it so far away that it had taken Marshall so long to send her back? Or rather, Clara’s family was so hospitable that they invited Marshall to drop by. Katherine waited for another while and got out of the room. She walked to the stairway on the second floor and found that there was no one downstairs.

Katherine went downstairs slowly and walked over to a corner in the living room.

She remembered that there seemed to be an underground cellar here.

Katherine looked for a while and found it.

She opened the door, turned on the light and went down slowly.

The cellar was not big, but there were various kinds of wines, including red wine, white wine and yellow rice wine.

Katherine didn’t know much about wine, so she pulled a bottle off the red wine shelf at random.

Since she had taken a nap in Marshall’s office this noon, it must be hard for her to fall asleep tonight.

It was said that a little wine could not only help one sleep, but also make his skin glow.

Katherine left the cellar with the bottle of wine, took the wine opener and a goblet from the kitchen, and went upstairs.

She went back to the bedroom, sat down on the bed end bench, opened the wine and poured herself a glass.

Katherine took a sip and frowned. This didn’t taste good at all.

She tried to have two glasses before getting over to the window and looking out.

Nothing stirred in the parking lot, so Marshall shouldn’t have come back yet.

It was fine though. When a man and a woman were together, there might be something romantic happening.

Even Katherine started to imagine the scene.

She sat down and had another two glasses, but she couldn’t stand its taste.

Katherine lifted the bottle and shook it. There was still half bottle left. She thought for a while, got up and went out of the room.

She couldn’t finish off the rest of the wine with nothing, so she went to get some snacks.

Hardly had Katherine gone downstairs than Marshall came back. She staggered over to the kitchen and rummaged around in the fridge. Th was a lot of food in the fridge, but little could go well with wine. Se went through the kitchen cupboards and found nothing she wanted.

Marshall happened to come in and approached her slowly. "What are you looking for?"

Katherine looked back at Marshall. "You’re back."

And chuckled.

Apparently, she was tipsy.

Marshall frowned. "Why are you drinking?"

Katherine stood on tiptoe to look into the cupboard above. "Well, there’re countless bottles of wine in your house, so I help you guys drink some in case they expire."

She was talking drunken gibberish.

Meanwhile, Marshall was a little taken aback.

He went over to her and asked, "What are you looking for?"

Katherine scratched her head, not knowing what she was looking for either.

She answered, "That bottle of wine doesn’t taste good, so I want to get something to go with it."

After some consideration, Marshall went to rummage around in the fridge, in which there were some lunch meat, ham, beef jerky and so on.

He grabbed some food and took Katherine’s arm. "Alright, let’s go. I’ve got something for you."

Slightly blushing, Katherine took a look at the food in Marshall’s hand. "How come I didn’t find these just now? Why are you hiding food in your house?"

Apparently, Katherine was drunk.

Marshall passed over her complaint and dragged her back to the bedroom.

He saw the glass of red wine and the bottle once he went in the room.

Marshall put down the food in his hand and said, "Alright, you may go ahead now. I’m going back to my room."

Katherine blinked. "You’re not drinking with me?"

"No," Marshall replied and left.

Ignoring him, Katherine put the food away and changed into her nightgown after thinking for a while.

When she put something more comfortable on, she drank even harder.

She ate and sang while drinking.

Now Katherine was getting into the groove.

Marshall went back to his room, took a shower and changed into his pajamas. He thought of Katherine, a little worried.

He put his ear to the door of Katherine’s room.

There was not much noise inside.

Marshall reflected for a moment and turned the doorknob.

The door was opened right away.

Katherine was standing at the window in her stunning nightgown. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Looking through the window, she was humming a song.
