Marshall arrived at home and found it was dark in the living room.

He stayed in the car, took a cigarette, rolled down the window and lit it.

Without smoking, he simply lit the cigarette and put hands out of the window.

He sat in the car until the smoke burned out.

He got out of the car, got into the house and slowly walked upstairs.

The door of the study was closed. Marshall passed by and wondered what was Katherine doing inside.

He thought maybe she was watching books related with the driving exam and directly went back to his

room.

However, Katherine, sitting in the study, was not preparing for the driving exam but was learning things

about baking.

The knowledge was a must if she opened the store in the future and she knew very little of it.

She took the pen and wrote down everything. Also, she called Margaret and invited her to have a visit

because she wanted to learn from her.

It was rare for her to concentrate on reading books and she didn’t even know Marshall came back.

She studied for a long time, turned around her sore neck and decided to go to the window to breath

some fresh air.

Afterwards, she noticed the car parking downstairs.

She was startled and stared at the car for a long time because she thought Marshall was going to

spend the whole night outside but he didn’t/

She stretched out her legs and went out.

Instead of going back to her room, she went downstairs and brought a bottle of water in the refrigerator.

The tea set was still in the living room for Mr. Grant as a birthday gift.

It would be hard to bring it to the old house.

She stayed down stairs for a while and gradually climbed the floors.

When she was standing in the corridor, she looked at the direction where Marshall leaved. The door

was closed and she couldn’t see anything.

Katherine snorted and went back to her room.

Katherine and Marshall started cold war out of no reason that both of them couldn’t figure out.

Mr. Grunt’s birthday was on the weekend and Marshall woke up early to go to the old house.

When he got downstairs, Katherine was making breakfast.

He observed her when standing on the stairs and frowned.

The unexpected anxiety haunted him. His head ached so much when thinking he was going to act in

front of everyone today, pretending to be a loved couple.

Marshall went downstairs and stood beside the sofa, saying, “Let’s go to the old house early and have

breakfast there.”

Katherine turned around to look at him and replied, “You can go first. I will arrive in the afternoon.”

People in the old house didn’t welcome her and it would be so boring to stay there for a whole day.

Marshall stared at her for a few seconds and replied calmly, “As you like.”

Then he turned around and left.

Katherine didn’t care what he thought at all. She made the breakfast, hummed a tone and went to the

kitchen.

She put the phone on the table and looked through many entertaining news, finding they were nothing

but boring made up lies.

Then she checked the financial news and thought it was more interesting.

She found a piece of news saying that after the Henderson family and the Grant family cooperated

successfully, the former one started to get in touch with the Haverford family, seeming to have the

intention to cooperate with them.

Well, it was interesting. Katherine thought at first that the Henderson family came to the Haverford

family with a reason. They must have an intention.

The Henderson family was trying to portray Clara as a perfect girl.

Clara had just begun working and the Henderson had tried many ways to help her and widen her way.

Life could really be easy with her family background.

Katherine smacked the lip. Compared with Clara, her father couldn’t help with anything.

She read through the news again and found it didn’t mention clearly about the Haverford family’s

reaction.

Actually, she didn’t care whether the two families would cooperate or not because both of them owned

strong family backgrounds and she couldn’t interrupt.

She finished reading the news and also her breakfast.

She tidied up the dishes, went upstairs and wore makeup.

She wanted to check the store in the morning. Peter would take a day off today and he probably had to

supervise the store for a whole day.

Although she believed in Peter, it was better for her to have a look.

Katherine got prepared and went downstairs, however, someone knocked at the door at this time.

They were the delivery guys who came to carry Mr. Grant’s gift.

Indeed, Katherine herself couldn’t manage to carry such heavy gift.

She told them to take care because what they carried was fragile item.

The delivery guys could tell from the wrap that something must be fancy in it and became really

cautious.

After waiting for them to carry things away. Katherine directly called a taxi to the store.

Peter was already there. Decoration workers had demolished all things and were tidying the walls now.

There was a worker who was doing carpenter job, which caused a pile of dust. Katherine didn’t come in

and waited outside with Peter.

Because it was weekend, Peter changed some casual clothes and looked younger.

Katherine walked towards him and said, “There are workers here and you don’t need to keep an eye on

them all the time.”

Peter smiled and responded, “Well, but your ex-husband has told me to keep an eye on the decoration

project in case any problem will emerge. This is your first time to run business and he wants everything

to be fine.”

Katherine was startled and snorted, “Is that true? I think you are telling a lie.”

Peter opened his eyes widely and said, “Why don’t you believe me? I won’t get any benefit for lying to

you. You ex won’t raise my salary. What I said is the true. He is really concerned about your store. He

checked the design paper and also told workers to be cautious when they’re doing jobs.”

Katherine held her should for a while and responded, “Yes, I can understand. When grandfather

passed away, he promised he would take good care of me.”

When her work and life went well, Marshall could also start a new life.

Peter didn’t say anything and looked inside.

Katherine’s phone suddenly rang when she was standing.

It was a series of unknown numbers.

She picked it up and said, “Hello.”

The voice from the other side was brisk, “Hi, Lucas speaking.”

Katherine was surprised and replied, “Lucas?”

How could he have her phone number? Katherine never expected that.

She continued, “What’s up?”

Lucas smiled and answered, “Nothing. I just want to ask why you haven’t come to the old house.

Marshall is already here.”

Katherine hurriedly made an excuse and said, “I am in the store. I have some ideas about decoration

and come here to talk with the workers. I will be there soon.”

Lucas replied, “Well. Come here quickly. We’re all in the yard. There’s not many of us and expect you

to enliven the atmosphere.”

Katherine thought for a while and said yes.

Afterwards, she heard Marshall’s voice, saying, “Don’t rush. Take care on the road.”

It seemed he said this from a long distance and his voice sounded a bit small.

Katherine blinked her eyes and smiled deliberately, “I know, darling.”
