CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 53 She Was in No Position

Hearing Peter’s words, Katherine broke into laughter, “Well, you can’t decide this kind of things. Your efforts aren’t working, so just give it a rest.” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Peter said sadly, “Are you mad at me?”

Katherine wasn’t exactly angry or something, but she was a bit uncomfortable since Peter was always meddling.

Katherine shrugged, “Not really, but I got to tell you that the way you are setting us up might backfire.”

Marshall never liked her, so he might have this reverse psychology and hated her even more if Peter was constantly pestering him about her.

Peter didn’t understand what this whole thing was about “reverse psychology”, but still, he was persuaded by Katherine’s analysis and got speechless.

While Marshall was just ashore after two laps in the pool, a girl who dressed even sexier than Katherine walked over, sat by the pool, and used her feet to make splashes in water which formed ripples around Marshall.

Marshall glanced at her and remained indifferent.

But the girl giggled.

Gazing at Marshall, she tilted her head, “Are you here alone?”

The girl was wearing fine make-up with her swimsuit dry.

One can easily tell that she was not here for swimming.

Marshall didn’t say anything and pulled himself up the ladder.

The girl followed Marshall.

Marshall tried to dry himself.

The girl spoke to him gently, “I haven’t seen you around before.”

Marshall continued walking but turned to the girl.

The girl was pretty lovely with a pointy chin, big eyes, and a nice figure.

But she was slightly more petite than Katherine.

Marshall was still poker-faced, “Do I look like I’m here alone?”

The girl froze and didn’t know what Marshall was talking about.

Marshall added, “Don’t you see my wedding ring?”

Then the girl drooped her eyes and looked at Marshall’s hand.

He was indeed wearing the wedding ring.

The girl’s face instantly turned crimson red and didn’t say anything. Marshall sneered and then walked towards Katherine.

He got divorced, but he never took off his wedding ring.

Well, he wasn’t exactly keeping it on purpose.

Did he forget it or just got used to it? Or maybe, he never thought about taking it off before announcing the divorce to the public.

Katherine saw what happened.

She noticed it the minute that girl sat by the pool.

Katherine beamed and looked teasing.

The drinks that Marshall ordered before were just served.

Seeing that Marshall was here, Peter hurriedly moved over.

Marshall sat down and gulped down the juice.

Katherine snickered, “Well, that poor little girl’s face was all red.”

Marshall cast a look at Katherine and didn’t say anything.

Peter glared at Katherine, suggesting that she’d better not brought the topic up.

But Katherine was never obedient by nature.

She put up with everything in the Grants before because she didn’t want to make things troublesome for Marshall.

But now, she couldn’t care less.

So she continued, “Well, well. What a pretty girl. How can you be heartless enough to do that to her?”

Peter got annoyed, “Stop saying those foolish things. Our boss is quite strong-minded and aloof. Don’t think that a random person can just approach him like that.”

Katherine raised her eyebrows, “Well...”

She only managed to utter one word and shook her head smilingly, “Just forget it.”

She wondered that did Marshall also kept distances from women when he was entertaining business partners before.

Marshall did have a lot of social engagements before which normally would involve some marginalized activities like having escorts’ company.

She doubted the fact that Marshall also rejected all those girls.

It was impossible.

She might be eligible enough to question him about this before.

But now, she was in no position.
