For a long time, Marshall peered at the Message. He knew Katherine well. If she had been with Hector,

she would refuse decisively to have sex with me. Namely, Hector and Katherine had no other

relationship, except for being friends. Katherine was not aware that Hector had crush on her at least.

Marshall snorted, then deleted the messages. After a while, there was no new messages. He put the

phone back on the tea table. And the phone never vibrated again.

Marshall’s lips curled, curious of what Hector might be thinking at the other end.

Then he heard Katherine’s voice, “The food is ready.”

He stepped forward casually, and sat down, “Where did you go this afternoon?”

Katherine paused, “I went to the store. Margaret said we can set off decorating thing in advance. She

has closed the store today, so I went to hang around.”

So she was not with Hector.

Then why did Hector suddenly send her a message like that?

Katherine got Marshall soup, “Take more soup, it’s good to your stomach.”

Marshall nodded, “It tastes good.”

Katherine licked her lips, then said, “I think, in the following days, you’d better sleep in your own room.

After all, we have had a divorce…”

“We had sex last night. I think it’s ordinary for us to sleep in one room.” His words shut Katherine down.

With chopsticks in hand, Katherine felt like asking why he can have sex with her while he didn’t love

her. Otherwise, they will be in a most peculiar relationship.

She recalled Peter’s words. She kind of expected that Marshall would fall in love with her after a happy

life with her. After all, they can meet each other every day and have sex sometimes. Everything was

better to her than Clara.

So the question was swallowed up.

In silence, they finished the meal. As usual, Marshall put the dishes into the dish washer.

Katherine checked her phone, and there was no new message.

Then she went to the yard, watering the flowers. When she returned to the room, Marshall had gone

upstairs.

She laid on the yoga mat, meditating. Her life was in a mess, which was far away from her plan.

In the study room, Marshall continued to read the documents. In a while, his phone vibrated. It’s a New

Friend request from Clara.

The two Groups had signed a cooperation contract, so it’s normal for Clara to add his .

Marshall added. And there was an immediate message from her. It’s a lovely emoji.

Marshall was not a text man, so he put down the phone.

After a few seconds, he picked up the phone. After all, it’s impolite not to reply a greeting message.

So he replied Clara with a “hi”. Then there was no new message.

Marshall put down the phone again, continuing his work.

The door of the study room was not closed. So Marshall heard the sound when Katherine went

upstairs.

She went back her room directly. Marshall can hear clearly that she even locked the door from inside.

Peering at the computer screen for a long while, Marshall laughed.

Katherine did it on purpose. After washing up and getting changed, she lied on the bed and played

games.

A long time later, she heard something from the door. Someone was tried to open the door.

Katherine gave a glance. She knew it’s Marshall. But he said nothing and left, not opening the door.

Katherine took a sigh of relief out of disappointment or joy. No one knew.

There was no sound outside, then Katherine fell asleep.

While Marshall returned to his room. He was not willing to hound someone.

After a cigarette, he went to wash.

When he came out, there was a new message from Clara. “Good night.”

Then he entered Clara’s moments. Her moments updated frequently and all were pictures of peaceful

world and easy life. In the beginning, it’s about her lunch in the company. He scrolled down, and it’s

about flower arrangement and baking, which were the common thing to daughters of rich families. And

Mrs. Grant appreciated such ladies most.

With no drowsiness, he lost in his mind, staring at the ceiling.

He had few contact with Clara before, and he even had no impression of their first meeting.

He had met her twice after the engagement. And every meeting only lasted about several minutes.

Besides, he was occupied by the business and the things of the family when Old Mr. Grant was not

well.

His clear impression to Clara was that she ran after him after he broke off the engagement in her

house. She, with red eyes, asked him why. Did he hate her?

He didn’t hate her, otherwise, he wouldn’t have agreed to get engaged to her.

However, he was too awkward to tell her the private thing about his family, so he said, “I just think I am

your wrong man.”

Clara took him on his arm, asking, “Why can’t you be firmer?”

Her question revealed that she knew about his family and the reason why he had to break off the

engagement, and who he was going to marry.

Marshall didn’t give any reply, just waiting for her family taking her back.

Marshall closed eyes. In fact, he had no perfect plan about his future, because his future was planned

by his family.

He would marry a virtuous lady, just like Clara, and lead a life with little changes.

However, beyond expectation, he married Katherine, such a girl, totally different from that in his

imagination.

Thinking here, he recalled that Lucas today reminded him that younger Mr. Grant’s birthday was

around the corner. Besides, he was required to attend the birthday party with Katherine.

Lucas mentioned Katherine deliberately. What did he mean? Reminding or

taunting?
