Clara immediately got dejected,
Though she can’t see the face and outfit of the man standing under the streetlamp, she can straight tell
that it was Marshall.
Standing behind the tree, Clara examined Marshall.
Marshall was holding a cigarette between his fingers, but he didn’t light it and would stamp it to pieces
on the ground after a while.
Then he took out of his phone and was enthralled by the contents in the phone.
Though his face outline wasn’t clear against the light, Clara can still see that he was smiling lightly yet
affectionately.
Marshall stood there for a long time and got on the car.
Clara watched his car disappearing into the darkness.
She then took a deep breath and went to the spot that Marshall was parking.
The ground was littered with cigarette stubs. Clara paused for a few seconds and grinded them with
her feet.
She was really irritated by this point like her heart was clutched at by someone tightly,
But Katherine didn’t know none of this and slept soundly till the next morning.
After waking up, she gave herself a good stretch and went to shower.
Then she got her changed clothes and wanted to put it into the laundry machine.
But she was shocked to see her beddings and a dress in it.
Katherine hissed and some images seemed to spring to her mind, but they were all too vague.
She was having some weird dreams recently and cannot really distinguish the dreams from the reality.
Katherine thought for a while and took out all the items in the washer.
It looked like that they had been washed before but just didn’t get taken out to dry.
She stared at the dress which she clearly remembered that she wore when she went out with Kyle and
ended up drinking too much.
She threw the dress back into the washer and redid it.
Katherine then went to the kitchen to cook breakfast while recalling what exactly happened that day,
but it was all futile. All she can think of was some suggestive images if she really tried to recall.
Hell no. She didn’t want to think those images.
Those images would only appear in dreams now and she would never let that happen in real life.
After the breakfast, Hector called and said that he was leaving for the closed training and wanted to say
bye.
It seemed like that Hector was in Kyle’s place now because she can hear Kyle’s droning over the
phone. It seemed like that he was packing up for Hector.
Katherine immediately replied, “Are you leaving now? I’m coming over.”
Hector hesitated, “I’m at Kyle’s place.”
Katherine replied okay and just hung up the phone.
She then quickly dressed up and went over. She just wanted to bolster up Hector’s morale in person
and wish that he can get a good result.
Hector was standing in front of the club with a car parked by his side when Katherine arrived.
It looked like that Hector was about to leave. His stuff had been loaded.
Katherine got out of the car and sprinted towards him, “Hector.”
Looking at Katherine rushing over hurriedly, Hector’s anger that he was holding in his heart these days
just disappeared.
Well, maybe he just thought too much. Katherine actually didn’t know what happened that day.
Hector beamed at Kathrine and opened his arms.
“Let’s have a hug. I really don’t know when can I be out again.”
Katherine grinned, “I will go to the temple later and would wish you good luck. You will for sure become
famous.”
Hector nodded and hugged Katherine, “Okay, I guess I would borrow some of your luck.”
Kyle patted Hector on the shoulder, “Rest assured. My sister has already arranged everything for you.
You would definitely become an instant hit.”
Hector paused for a while and released Katherine, “If Marshall were to pester at you, you could just use
me as excuses to reject him, I’m all right.”
Katherine broke into slaughters and nodded approvingly, “Got it. I would definitely fight with him.”
The driver then lowered the window, “Mr. Bennett, we should leave now.”
Hector then stroked Katherine’s hair and waved at Kyle.
He then just got on the car and left.
Katherine then said, “Well, he definitely wouldn’t be able to fool around with us carelessly the next time
he is back. He would be a star.”
“Right.” Kyle responded and landed his arms on Katherine’s shoulder, “I only got you now, Katherine.”
Katherine was really disgusted by Kyle’s words and flung his arms aside, “Don’t say that. I actually
despise you.”
Then she took out her phone and checked the time, “I got to go. I have to accompany Marshall’s
grandma to the temple now.”
Kyle teased, “Why would you do that? Just as what I’ve said, you guys didn’t look like divorced couple.”
Actually, Katherine felt the same way.
Marshall was being all affectionate these days and would come to her home for meals which was really
weird like they hadn’t got divorced.
Well, she was not one who liked to drag things on.
She didn’t think the whole thing through before and just foolishly thought there was turning back.
Lips pursed, Katherine paused, “Well, I know what I should do then.”
She then hailed a cab and went to the Grants’ mansion without waiting for the driver to pick her up.
After she arrived at the mansion, she didn’t go in but waited by the door and immediately got on the car
after Old Mrs. Grant’s car appeared.
Old Mrs. Grant looked merry to see Katherine and held her hands, “How come that you didn’t go in?
What are you standing here for?”
Katherine smiled, “It’s all right.”
Old Mrs. Grant heaved a sigh, “I meant to ask Marshall to go there with me, but he got a lot on his plate
recently.”
‘Thank god. I don’t want to see him.’ Katherine thought inside.
Noticing that Katherine didn’t say anything, Old Mrs. Grant remained silent.
The temple was on a hillside of outskirts. Though it was workday, there were a lot of prayers.
The car stopped at the foot of the hill.
Katherine and the main then held Old Mrs. Grant to climb the stone stairs.
The slope was not that steep, so they were not exactly tired.
There was a young master waiting by the temple door.
Seeing that Old Mr. Grant was here, the young master hurriedly led them to the back of the yard.
Katherine had never been to this kind of place before but felt oddly calm and secure after she heard the
ode circling around the temple.
There was already an old mater waiting at the meditation abode.
Katherine felt like she was really inexperienced.
Seeing that Old Mrs. Grant was here, he chanted Amitabha. Old Mrs. Grant hurriedly put her arms
together devoutly and mad a bow. Katherine followed suit.
The master then smiled at Katherine, “You must be one who drew the stick last time.”
The master smiled, “You look like you are blessed with good fortune.”
Katherine didn’t know if the master was just lightening the mood or he had really read something from
her face, so she just smiled back.
The young master then took out a few futons for them to sit on heels.
Old Mrs. Grant explained she’d like to draw a marriage divination stick and glanced at Katherine
subconsciously while she was saying that.
