Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Lucas paused for a while and then added, “Well, a man got to know what his hearts really desires.

Otherwise, it would be easy to make mistakes. I’m sure that I don’t like them, so I would just be

straightforward to avoid any misunderstandings.”

Pinching at the glass, Marshall turned to Lucas, “How sober are you.”

Lucas cracked a smile, “Well, one would certainly understand this after missing something.”

Marshall slowly frowned. He didn’t have much contact with Lucas before, so he didn’t realize him to be

such a man who was suggesting something vaguely.

Marshall only sensed this side of him recently, or more exactly, after the divorce. Every time he chatted

with Lucas, he was always dropping hints.

Marshall smiled, “Really? It’s actually great. But you got to tell auntie Lydia these words, otherwise, she

would definitely pick a girl out for you to marry by force.”

After staring Marshall for a while, Lucas nodded, “You are right. I will find a time and talk to my om

about this.”

Marshall didn’t reply. Lucas just left in a while.

Seeing that Lucas had left through the reflection of the glass, Marshall got serious.

It was still early when Marshall got off work, so he took a detour and passed Katherine’s store.

As he was passing by, he slowed down and looked inside the store.

Just so it happened, Katherine was sitting by the window and talking a man who asked for her phone

number the last time.

Marshall hissed and didn’t expect that man would go to meet Katherine again.

Right at the moment, Katherine was beaming at the man. What was she smiling for!

Marshall then drove away and stopped at the curb.

Sitting in the car, Marshall stared at Katherine’s store through the rear-view mirror.

The man hadn’t come out yet. Marshall lighted a cigarette and puffed.

He was waiting patiently.

But before that man went out, his phone rang.

It was Khalid.

Marshall was surprised as he saw Khalid before he went out of the company.

Marshall then picked up the phone, “Dad.”

Voice suppressed, Khalid said, “Your mom called and wanted to have dinner with us.”

Marshall paused, “How did you reply?”

“What can I say? This isn’t too much. Of course I agreed.” Khalid sounded defeated.

Staring at the rear-view mirror, Marshall nodded, “Sure, where are you? I will be there in a minute.”

Khalid then hung up the phone after telling Marshall the address.

Marshall put the phone away and realized that the man hadn’t come out.

If Margaret wasn’t also in the store right now, he would just charge in and see what were they doing

exactly.

Marshall waited for a while and drove away.

Khalid and Frances were already waiting in the restaurant when Marshall arrived and they were just

sitting across each other silently and awkwardly.

Frances seemed to be wondering something and looked pretty gentle and quiet.

Marshall asked, “Have you ordered?”

Frances hurriedly answered, “Yeah, but not many. You can see what you like and order some more.”

Marshall waved his hand, “It’s all right. We can order later.”

Marshall then sat next to Khalid and looked at Frances, “Are you okay recently? I heard that you went

to the hospital.”

Frances got a bit embarrassed, “Right. I got to apologize for the mistakes that I’ve made myself.”

Then she glanced at Khalid who didn’t say anything and looked serious.

Marshall then turned to Marshall, “You must be tired. It’s a hectic day.”

Khalid pinched at his nose bridge, “Yeah, a little bit.”

Actually, Marshall was just trying to break the ice since it was pretty awkward that they were all silent.

It was really sad to see a once happily married couple to get to this place.

After finally seeing the blushed boy out, Katherine went to close the store.

Standing by the door, Margaret smiled, “Love is in the air, isn’t it?”

Katherine giggled, “Stop it. I feel like that I’m committing a crime after hearing that he likes me.”

Margaret chuckled, “He looked pretty nice and appeared to come from a rich family.”

“Hey, I got to find someone who is better than Marshall next time.”

Margaret paused, “Why? You can’t make comparisons when it comes to love.”

Katherine packed the bag, “You are absolutely right, but I just want to find a man stronger than him.”

Then she waved at Margaret and said, “I’m gonna go. Get home safely, okay?”

Margaret stood by the door and watched Katherine getting on a cab.

Then she turned back and let out a breath staring at the plaque.

Kyle was sitting in the yard when Katherine went home.

Kyle must be here for a while as he looked bored sitting by the flower stand.

Katherine went over, “What are you doing here? Why didn’t you call me?”

Kyle turned to Katherine, “When did you get together with Hector? Aren’t you with Marshall?”

Hearing the question, Katherine got distressed, “Let’s go inside first.”

As Katherine was opening the door, Kyle stood up slowly and muttered, “Aren’t you still on and off with

Marshall now? Why would Hector say that you are his girlfriend? Did you two get together behind my

back?”

Katherine fetched a bottle of water from the fridge and said, “It’s not like that. I’m not together with

Hector. I’m just his fake girlfriend.”

Kyle still looked puzzled, “I thought about this for a long time yesterday. There must be something

going on between you and Hector.”

Katherine went speechless.

Sitting next to Kyle, Katherine said, “There is nothing complicated between us. Rest assured. We are

still the same. Nothing is going to change.”

Kyle was a bit gloomy, “I just feel like that you two have secrets behind my back. This really upsets

me.”

Kyle was like a kid whose toy was stolen or a teenage girl who just got betrayed by her bestie.

Katherine grinned, “You are so cute this way. You are not like what you were before.”

“I called Marshall to ask him about this. He seemed to be pretty angry.”

Katherine then recalled that Marshall was being all finicky on the phone which was totally annoying.

She then went silent.

Kyle added, “I don’t know what happened you two, so I asked Marshall. I thought you are still together

after the divorce. He just went nuts when I asked him.”
