CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 143 Depressed

Marshall happened to pass by the study after he went back into the house.

Katherine was still puzzling over the questions of the driving test.

She googled all the questions she didn’t know the answers to, but sometimes, the explanations she got were beyond her comprehension.

The door of the study was open. Sitting in front of the computer, Katherine whined from time to time.

Marshall already walked by the study, but he came back on second thought.

He leaned against the door frame, look at Katherine.

Katherine got changed. Sitting on the chair cross-legged, she was staring at the computer screen painfully.

Marshall thought of what Mrs. Grant said on the phone just now, then of Clara.

His eyes darkened.

After a few seconds, Marshall went into the study. "What are you doing?"

Startled, Katherine turned around and saw it was Marshall, dispirited. "This is too hard."

Marshall went over and saw what was on the computer screen: the questions of the driving test.

In fact, these questions weren’t that hard at all. Probably Katherine had never be exposed to driving knowledge before, so it was a little difficult for her to grasp it immediately.

Marshall pulled a chair over to himself and sat down. "Which question is troubling you? Let me help you with it."

Katherine didn’t stand on ceremony, pointing at one of the questions on the screen. "This one."

Marshall started to explain patiently word by word.

The explanation Marshall offered was much simpler than the one provided by Google. Katherine nodded slowly and said, "Don’t go yet. Wait. There must be something else I don’t understand."

Marshall wasn’t in a hurry to leave. He just sat there, helping Katherine with the questions she didn’t know answers to one by one.

Now, Katherine was in a better mood and learning faster.

While Katherine’s eyes were fixing on the screen, Marshall’s gaze fell gently upon her collarbones.

Since she was wearing a top with loose collar, her collarbones were totally exposed to the air.

There were still faint hickeys on them.

Actually, Marshall could drink a lot. For him, a glass of wine had no effect to him the other night.

Even he himself couldn’t tell what was wrong with him on that day.

He was just aroused, wanting to give her a lesson.

The next day, Marshall was wakened by Mrs. Grant’s knock at the door. He even cast a look at Katherine before he got out of bed.

Naked, Katherine had love bites all over her body, as if she was beaten up by someone.

She looked like a mess.

For a moment, Marshall felt sorry that he had treated her too harshly last night.

However, he was also aware that things would turn out the same if he had a second chance.

Looking at the marks left on Katherine’s body, Marshall could still remember how crazy he was on that night.

He looked away at once.

Somehow, Marshall was a little aroused again, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Meanwhile, Katherine had no idea what was going on. She was focusing on the questions in the driving test book.

Marshall became the patient one tonight. He didn’t stop until Katherine yawned and went to bed.

He rose to his feet. "Take it easy and relax. These questions aren’t that hard."

Katherine nodded. "Thank you for helping me tonight."

Marshall said nothing, while Katherine stretched, yawned and went out of the study. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Standing in the corridor, Marshall didn’t go back to his own room until he watched Katherine entering hers.

His room was not very big, and there weren’t many furnishings in it. But now, Marshall wasn’t fussy about these.

After washing up, he lay down in bed. Before he could close his eyes, Khalid called him.

Khalid hardly called Marshall. Maybe sometimes, talking wasn’t the only choice men had to communicate with each other.

Therefore, Marshall believed that there must be something important happening.

As expected, the moment Marshall answered the phone, Khalid told him that the cooperation between the Henderson’s Family and them was settled.

In the future, the Grant’s company was also responsible for the supply of raw materials to the Henderson’s Family.

The Henderson’s Family was running big business, so it was a great thing for the Grant’s Family to make this deal.

However, Khalid didn’t sound happy at all.

Marshall gave a knowing grunt.

Khalid sighed and went on, "You might always meet the members of the Henderson’s Family in the future. Be prepared."

Marshall knew what Khalid meant and smiled. "OK, I see."

Marshall hung up and closed his eyes, thinking of the marks on Katherine’s collarbones again.

He could feel a sense of pent-up frustration somewhere within him, depressed.
