Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Ralph turned around to look at Margaret and thought she was simply helping to ask as Katherine’s

friend.

He nodded and replied, “It is true that Marshall has taken that woman away. Besides, they were

behaving like they had already knew each other for a long time when they were in the bar.”

Katherine was surprised because they could tell from that woman’s dress that she seemed to show up

in the bar frequently and it was impossible for Marshall to know her before.

However, she was still uncertain because everything was possible.

Margaret was disappointed and turned to look at Ralph, saying, “Do you mean it is likely that Marshall

was in relation with the woman a long time ago?”

Ralph didn’t dare draw a hasty conclusion because the media hadn’t made any prediction by only

referring that they left together. Therefore, Ralph didn’t say anything but smiled. However, his smile

could already be regarded as an answer.

Margaret sighed, “I never expect that Marshall is that kind of man.”

Katherine smiled beside her, “We can’t expect everyone to be a good person. Marshall might turn into

another man when everyone is absent.”

Ralph thought for a while and continued, “That’s not the same Marshall I used to know. I met him

before when I was on a business trip. Those bosses couldn’t even move when seeing pretty girls,

except him, who showed a despise look when girls were around him.”

Ralph also couldn’t figure out why would Marshall turn into such a frivolous man.

He thought this whole thing was weird. However, he couldn’t speak out his true feelings because it

would seem that he was trying to white wash Marshall.

Ralph hurriedly finished his coffee and stood up, saying, “I still have other things to do and won’t bother

you anymore. Katherine, go to visit the Walters family if you have spare time.”

Katherine nodded and said in a perfunctory way, “Okay, I know.”

She sent Ralph back on car. After he left, she turned around and got in the store.

Margaret seemed upset when standing behind the bar table.

Katherine didn’t think too much and said, “Come on and have some fruits. Let’s see what he has

brought to us!”

Margaret was clearly not in the mood when Katherine went to unpack the box.

It was a gift box with various combinations of fruits and they all looked juicy.

Katherine couldn’t name many of them and felt she was really blew in many kinds of aspects for being

ignorant for wealthy people’s life.

She grabbed some and went to wash them. Then she looked at Margaret and asked, “What’s wrong? It

seems that you’re not in your element.”

Margaret forced a smiled and responded, “I am not. I am just a bit shocked after hearing Mr. Ralph

Walters’ words.”

Katherine was stupefied, “What shocked you? Do you mean Ralph’s words about Marshall?”

Margaret lowered her eyes and said, “I am just a little surprised. I can’t tell clearly what my feeling is.

Well, I can only say I never expect that.”

Katherine smiled, “Maybe it is because you haven’t experienced much. It is a normal thing. Human is a

complex creature. I understand that Marshall often leaves people with a glamorous image, but it

doesn’t mean he doesn’t have any flaw.”

Margaret nodded and didn’t say anything.

Katherine was not busy today. Although it wasn’t closing time, she told Margaret that she could leave

early when finding she was not in the state.

It seemed not many guests would come and she could run the store by herself for a while.

Margaret didn’t refuse. She told Katherine that she might get a cold and her nose felt uncomfortable

because she had taken a nap on the table during the lunch time.

Katherine petted on her shoulder and said, “Go home to have some ginger-ale. Don’t wait until it gets

worse and have to take medicine. You will suffer a lot at that time.”

Margaret stared at Katherine for a long time and finally packed things up and left.

Katherine was sitting by the window. She leaned against chair and seemed to be a bit decadent.

She looked outside the window and seemed to be in a trance.

After a while, she noticed a familiar face. It was Mrs. Grant.

However, Mrs. Grant wasn’t alone with Clara as her company.

Clara was in a long dress and looked like a lady. She was like Frances’ daughter when walking beside

her.

It seemed that they went for shopping. Katherine didn’t know they passed by her store accidentally or

deliberately.

Clara wanted to come in, while Frances looked at the store’s name and showed a hesitated

expression.

Clara pushed the door open and came in.

Katherine still leaned against the chair without moving, saying, “Are you here for a little char or do you

want to order something?”

Clara looked through the menu on the wall and replied, “Give us some drinks. We’re tired after a long

walk.”

Katherine’s action was sluggish. She slowly stood up and went towards the bar, asking, “What do you

want to have?”

Clara thought for a while and ordered two cups of coffee as well as two pieces of cakes for eat-in.

Katherine nodded and said, “Okay, you can wait there.”

Clara looked at Katherine in a gentler way compared with last time.

Katherine moved slowly and didn’t seem to be in a hurry.

Clara smiled after Frances sat down and asked, “Auntie, have you been there before? I think Miss

Jorden’s store has a good decoration. It really refreshes people.”

Frances nodded and replied, “Yes, I have been here several times.”

Actually, she had already mentioned it to Clara before.

Clara nodded and acted like she just knew it, asking, “Do you have any recommends? You can

introduce to me.”

Frances didn’t know what Clara meant and responded, “Their desserts are all good.”

Clara smiled and didn’t say anything.

Katherine prepared things they ordered and served them to their table. Then she went back to the bar

table.

She grabbed out the phone and started watching short videos.

Those short videos were actually really good with great ideas.

At first, she was not into those videos. However, now it was hard for her to stop.

Clara compressed her lips and found Katherine didn’t talk with them but turned to check her phone.

She knew Katherine was doing this on purpose.

Instead of getting angry, Clara turned to Frances and asked, “Auntie, has Marshall told you when he

will be back from this business trip.”

Frances hadn’t found out why but already started feeling embarrassed when sitting here.

She replied, “No, he hasn’t set a fixed time for this trip. It depends on different situations.”

Clara nodded, “I called him last night, but didn’t ask him about his business trip. Instead, I asked about

the news on the internet.”

Frances was surprises and asked, “Really?”

Clara stirred the coffee with spoon and didn’t drink it, saying, “Marshall told me to stop wondering.

Those are only the media’s stunt.”

Frances didn’t say anything and then Clara smiled, “He also said that he didn’t care about these things

anymore. As long as he is honest, there is nothing to be afraid of.”

Frances sipped the coffee and didn’t reply.

She couldn’t tell whether Clara was telling the truth or not and thought there was something wrong.

She called Marshall before and Marshall admitted it quickly.

Did Clara say these things in front of Katherine on purpose?

However, what was the point of doing this? Nobody would mind it and it made them seem mean.

It was the first time that Frances thought Clara was being too mean compared with Katherine.

Frances glanced at Katherine and found she was checking the phone without even noticing them.

She sighed and replied, “Clara, I know there is a new restaurant nearby. It’s going to be lunch time.

Let’s stop eating and go to have lunch.”

Clara looked at Frances and found her attitude was quite different from the past.
