Though Hector was sober at this point, he failed to control himself and just leapt over the fences into
the yard.
He then banged on the door.
Upstairs, Katherine and Marshall were rolling in the hay fervently. Muddleheaded, Katherine muttered,
“What is that noise?”
Marshall snogged Katherine and caressed her amorously, “It’s nothing.”
After smashing the door in vain, Hector took out his phone and called Marshall whose phone was off.
Hector suddenly got hot-headed and battered the phone onto the ground.
He took a deep breath and scanned around. Marshall must be here as his car was still parking in the
yard. So he got to be staying overnight.
Hector closed his eyes and cracked a smile out of sheer anger.
Marshall must be taking revenge on him for sleeping at Katherine’s house the other night.
After done fooling around, Katherine directly passed out.
Her mind was foggy the whole way.
Normally, Marshall should be exhausted by this point, but this time, he was perfectly sober.
He got up and rummaged through the closet and was pleased to see that Katherine had put away
those old clothes.
After musing for a while, he carried Katherine into the bathroom and laid her in the bathtub and then
changed all the beddings.
For never in his life had Mr. Grant done such a chore, Marshall was pretty clumsy.
After tidying up everything, he took a shower with Katherine and then changed her into pajamas. He
then covered himself with a bath towel and went into his old bedroom to search around. Luckily, there
were still clothes in the closet that he left on purpose.
All dressed up, Marshall grabbed the trash bag and went downstairs.
Hector immediately noticed Marshall when he turned on the lights in the living room.
Marshall went to the door and asked, “Mr. Bennett, what are you doing here so late?”
For the first time, Hector looked fierce and stern, “How shameless are you, Marshall.”
And with that, he charged into the living room and was about to run upstairs.
Leaning against the door, Marshall smirked, “Katherine just drifted off. She was absolutely burnt-out.”
Hector instantly froze.
Arms crossed on his chest, Marshall went to sit on the sofa and rested his legs on the tea table, “Is
Katherine also passionate when she is with you?”
Back straight, Hector was silent.
Marshall let out a suggestive breath, “She was shouting my name the whole way. Did she get the name
wrong when she was with you?”
With his chest heaved up and down violently, Hector was furious.
Marshall looked provocative, “Or, you guys haven’t went that far.”
Katherine was definitely not a frivolous woman and wouldn’t be with Hector physically in such a short
time even though they were together now.
Hector slowly descended the stairs and sat next to Marshall.
It was obvious that he was holding back his anger.
Marshall beamed to see Hector so dispirited.
He seemed to see the same exasperated himself that day.
Hector addressed, “Mr. Grant, I’d like to inform you that Kathy is with me now, so would you please stay
away from her from now on.”
Marshall raised his eyebrows, “With you? But her body is clearly bonding tightly with mine.”
How brazen!
Hector stood up indignantly.
Marshall withdrew his legs and sat up, “Hector, it really annoyed me to see you tagging along Katherine
everywhere before. Well, you know what does it feel like now, right? Sadly, this is just the beginning.”
Heading towards the door with the garbage bag, Marshall said, “Katherine is and will only be mine. You
got to keep that in mind.”
He had erased all the traces that he was ever in Katherine’s bedroom before and was sure she
wouldn’t notice a thing the next morning for she was actually pretty careless.
After taking out trash, Marshall got on his car and drove away.
Hector remained motionless by the sofa for a while and looked upstairs.
It was his fault that Marshall got the chance to swoop in.
Hector didn’t stay long for though he wanted to check on Kathrine upstairs, he was afraid to witness the
scene that he was dreaded to see. So after mulling it over, he gave up the thought.
He then slowly exited the living room, turned off the lights and closed the door.
Marshall was parking his car nearby and was relieved to see Hector out.
Katherine didn’t have a clue about what happened this night.
After getting up, she examined around.
She had a wet dream about Marshall last night and Marshall appeared to be as strong as ever.
Katherine got out of the bed and went to the bathroom.
Checking herself in the mirror, Katherine didn’t find anything wrong with her except her swollen lips.
Marshall loved to leave love bites all over her body before, but now, her body was all smooth and
clean, so it was probably just a dream.
After freshening up, Katherine still felt heavy-headed.
She was having an upset stomach and felt like retching after hangover.
Katherine then went downstairs to fix herself a breakfast.
She paused to see her phone on the tea table.
She completely blacked out last night, but she did remember that she asked Margaret to take care of
her because she knew that she would drink to excess.
Grabbing her phone, Katherine went to the kitchen to cook noodles and texted Margaret to thank her
for taking her home last night.
She was in her pajamas when she woke up, so Margaret must have helped her.
Kyle and Hector definitely wouldn’t change her clothes for her if they drove her home.
But Margaret immediately called her and asked her how was she. She also mentioned that Katherine
went missing at the latter half of the evening.
Katherine was taken aback, “Didn’t you bring me home?”
Margaret answered hesitantly, “The waiter said that Marshall picked you up. Hector then just followed
you out to check on you. Kyle said it was okay and just sent me home, so I didn’t know what happened
exactly.”
Katherine hissed in bewilderment.
She then hung up Margaret’s call and dialed Hector’s number, but she didn’t get through.
She didn’t think too much and called Kyle.
Kyle was still asleep for he also binge-drank last night.
Katherine recapped what happened.
Eyes closed, Kyle recalled, “Yeah, Marshall sent you home. You lost your direction in the bar last night,
so they called Marshall to pick you up. Well, Kyle probably had brought your phone home last night. He
must be worried sick and went to check on you.”
Katherine racked her brain to figure out what exactly happened last night, so she just hung up the
phone.
After having the breakfast, Katherine went to water the flowers outside and immediately saw the
smashed phone in the yard.
Katherine went to pick it up and found that it was Hector’s phone with the SIM card still in it.
No wonder that she couldn’t get in touch with Hector.
Katherine was completely baffled at this point.
With the fragmented phone in her hand, Katherine pondered for a minute and gave Marshall’s a call,
but he didn’t answer it.
How great!
Katherine called again and this time it was picked up. Marshall’s voice sounded muffled, “I’m busy. Talk
to you later.”
