Chapter 141 Don’t Feel Uncomfortable Because of Me

During lunch, Marshall asked Katherine about the flowers.

Katherine was surprised that Marshall would start a conversation at the dinner table.

Stunned, she gave a smile and said, "I did it on a whim. I want to live an exquisite single life."

Marshall looked at Katherine and nodded. "That’s a great idea."

He would be relieved if she could live a better life.

At least, he fulfilled Khalid’s wish.

Usually, Marshall had little for lunch, but somehow, he had a good appetite today.

He had two bowls of rice and a big bowl of lotus root soup.

Katherine ate relatively less because she no longer felt hungry after a long time of hard work.

Marshall also did some chores. When the lunch was over, he put the bowls and chopsticks into the dishwasher.

Although the machine was doing all the cleaning, at least he carried the dishes.

Meanwhile, there were also a few pots of flowers in the living room, and Katherine was moving them back and forth.

After some time, she stood in the middle of the living room and looked around, satisfied with the display.

Marshall also took a look at the living room.

This place was totally different from what it had used to be.

Marshall took a deep breath. "I’m going back to work now. If there’s anything…"

He paused and went on, "… Call Peter."

Katherine grunted, "OK, I see."

Katherine didn’t fool around in the afternoon, but visited that dessert shop.

She went there mainly to check the store layout, pondering how to renovate it to make it look better.

Margaret Hopkins, the shop owner, was glad to see Katherine.

As if she had found her savior, Margaret told Katherine that business was going well around here.

Katherine spent the whole afternoon in the dessert shop.

When it was almost time, she stopped a taxi and went home.

She had enrolled in a driving school.

Seeking an introduction to the driving school from a friend made things easier for Katherine. Now she didn’t have to worry about anything and everything was ready for her.

Katherine got home and started to read the book about the driving test.

It had been years since Katherine had read a book, so she felt sleepy after a while.

Katherine kept up her spirit and read for a while before she looked at the time and went downstairs to cook dinner.

She loved Chinese cuisine, with rice and fried dishes.

She couldn’t get used to steak or salad.

Humming a song, Katherine put on the apron and took her time cooking in the kitchen.

The food was almost ready when Marshall came back.

Standing in the kitchen , Katherine took out a plate and dished out the food little by little.

She was doing it very slowly and leisurely. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Marshall was watching her at the kitchen door.

He had never seen Katherine like this when he got home in the past.

Perhaps, she wasn’t the least happy at that time.

Even if she tried to hold back her emotions, he could still tell that from her look.

Marshall’s heart sank when he saw Katherine’s sullen face every day.

Marshall didn’t walk over to Katherine until she finished dishing up the meal. "Go wash your hands. I’ll bring the dishes out."

Katherine was startled by him. "When did you come back? How come I didn’t hear anything?"

Marshall grunted, "Just now."

Staring at Marshall’s back, Katherine asked after some consideration, "I heard that the Grant Family was going to cooperate with the Henderson’s corporation?"

Marshall could tell off the top of his head that it must be Peter who had told Katherine about the news.

Marshal thought of the two questions Peter asked him today.

He breathed a sigh with his back to Katherine. "Yes, we have this plan."

Katherine raised her eyebrows, not offering any sarcastic comments, but chuckled.

Marshall said nothing during dinner, and so did Katherine.

Meanwhile, her phone kept vibrating on the table.

Someone must be sending text messages to her.

Katherine replied them once in a while, a faint smile on her lips all the time.

Marshall cast a look at Katherine, then at her phone.

He could vaguely see that she was chatting with someone, but hardly any details.

Marshall cast a few more glances at her before looking away.

Just at this point, his phone vibrated too.

Marshall took out his phone and found that it was a text message from Clara.

In fact, he knew what it was about without reading it.

Clara should have known that Mr. Henderson visited him today.

As expected, Clara was talking about the cooperation between the two families in the text message.

Marshall read it and replied in passing, "I met them today."

Clara replied his message at once, "I hope you won’t feel uncomfortable because of me."
