Stopped by him, Katherine was in a daze.
The images in her head disappeared immediately as he asked her.
“What?” she was confused at first
He pointed at her hands and said, “Why don’t you wear your wedding ring today?”
She looked down to her fingers.
In fact, she took the ring off after she signed the divorce settlement with Marshall.
There had been a light mark of ring around her finger.
But it faded away now.
“Oh,” She made a forced smile, “It’s not my size and not comfortable.”
She looked up him and chuckled, “My mother-in-law bought the ring for me and she didn’t know my
size. But I was too embarrassed to tell her this. It turns out that I can’t fit myself in. So, I took it off.”
It seemed to talk about the ring, and about herself as well.
What she said was true. The ring was bought by Mrs. Grant indeed.
Marshall claimed to be too busy to pick the wedding ring and dress.
It reminded Katherine of the wedding pictures.
Marshall had meant to make a composite wedding picture but for his grandpa’s requirements.
He didn’t even want to take the wedding pictures.
But Katherine hadn’t cared that much.
She found it ridiculous now.
He even had meant to find someone else to replace him to attend the wedding if it was permitted.
“Why did I have such a miserable life before?” she thought.
“Oh,” Lucas said, “but it’s special time, people would make an issue of it if they catch it.”
It remined Katherine of the fact that Marshall was in trouble now.
She had to be meticulous.
She winked mischievously and said, “Well, I’ll ask Marshall to buy another one for me some day. This
time I must pick my favorite one.”
Lucas smiled, saying nothing.
They talked for a moment and Lucas began to work.
Unembarrassed, she took a stroll around his office.
Then she sat in the sofa and played phone games.
At first, she sat straight, but then she couldn’t bear it.
She took off her shoes and sat cross-legged.
Lucas made remarks on some papers. When he looked up, he saw her playing with phone happily.
The sound was not loud, but he could hear it.
He pinched his eyebrows and put the papers away.
Then he stared at her.
Katherine seemed to change a lot after she came back from business with Marshall.
It was said that she even beat Mrs. Grant the other day.
People didn’t believe it at first.
But some maids claimed to see Mrs. Grant cry and complain about it to old Mrs. Grant.
Then Marshall and Katherine moved out.
All these proved that the rumors were true.
But since she beat Mrs. Grant, why Mrs. Grant didn’t blow it up?
It didn’t make sense.
Lucas frowned. He knew clearly how Mrs. Grant was like.
She couldn’t bear any insult so that elder Mr. Grant talked with her gently all the time.
Katherine was always been bullied by her.
How could she take it lying down?
He licked his teeth and gave Katherine a long searching look.
Katherine, however, didn’t notice it. She was absorbed in playing games.
When Marshall came over, this was what he saw:
Katherine, cross-legged, was sitting in the sofa, as she did in his office.
And Lucas was staring at her in his chair.
It’s so busy now, but he wasn’t reading papers.
Arms-crossed, he was looking at Katherine with a smile.
