After chatting for a while, Peter checked the time, “Well, I got to go back to the company now. You can
go in now. Kathy seems to be sleeping, but she should be waking up now.”
Peter then nodded at Margaret and just left.
Standing by the door, Margaret can vaguely see the shadows of Kyle and Marshall talking in the living
room.
She took a deep breath and walked in.
Marshall had changed his clothes and wasn’t in the same outfit that he wore to the store today.
It clearly was a home wear.
Seeing that Margaret was here, Marshall grinned, “Hey, you are here. Kathy is about to wake up. Let’s
wait for a while.”
Margaret nodded, “Sure.”
She went over and sat on the corner of the sofa.
Kyle looked at the second floor, “What’s wrong with Kathy?”
Marshall let out a sigh, “Maybe it’s because she’s under a lot of pressure recently and is too tired. She
wasn’t exactly pretty fit before. Her body just can’t handle this long-term tension.”
Kyle nodded, “Well, it’s true that she’s quite slim. She really needs to build up her health.”
Then he turned to Marshall, “You’re here the whole time?”
Leaning against the sofa, Marshall nodded, “Yeah, I’m worried about here.”
Kyle felt much safer that Marshall was here to take care of Katherine. But he suddenly something was
wrong here when he thought about Hector.
After staring at Marshall for a while, Kyle asked hesitantly, “Um, won’t your life be affected that you are
caring for Katherine here?”
Though Kyle was obviously containing some information, Marshall got it immediately and broke into
laughers, “Why will it be? We’re both single. Some rumors may get spread out, tops.”
Marshall added before Kyle can even reply, “We were couples before and got a great foundation of
relationship. It’s perfectly normal even we have anything going on.”
Standing on the staircase of second floor, Katherine really feel like spitting Marshall on the face when
she heard his last words.
Great foundation of relationship?
How can he bring himself to say that? Did he forget how he treated her before?
Margaret first noticed Katherine and stood up, “Katherine.”
Katherine had a sound sleep and said, “You are all here.”
Margaret pursed her lips. “How are you feeling now?”
Katherine mused, “Much better.”
Kyle came over and touched Katherine’s forehead, “Just speak out if you are feeling unwell. We got be
careful with our health.”
Katherine nodded and stole a glanced of Marshall and then just thought the test result.
She suddenly got speechless.
Marshall scanned around and suggested, “Why don’t we have hot pot together for dinner? It would be a
lot of fun.”
Kyle certainly loved the idea and chimed in, “Sure! I’ll go and buy some groceries. What do you think,
guys?”
Katherine nodded, “Great.”
She can feel saliva exuding her teeth the minute she heard hot pot as if she can even smell the hot pot
in the air.
Margaret also agreed.
But there weren’t enough materials at home, so Katherine said, “I’ll got to the supermarket. You guys
can wait at home.”
Marshall immediately followed, “I’ll go with you.”
Margaret also pursued hurriedly, “Me too.”
Surly Kyle wouldn’t want to wait at home alone, “I’ll also go then. I don’t want to stay at home myself.”
Well, there was nothing wrong with them shopping together.
So the four went out after Katherine changed her shoes.
Walking beside Katherine, Marshall asked, “Are you cold?”
Katherine looked at him like a psycho. Who would be cold in such a warm weather?
Marshall directly ignored Katherine’s response and instantly grabbed her hand, “Let’s me feel it. Why?
Your hands are so cold. Let me warm them up for you.”
Katherine raised her eyebrows, “Could be not be so brazen?”
Marshall grinned. “I’ve long lost my sense of shame when I’m near you.”
He sounded extremely bold and confident to the point that Katherine got nothing to fight back.
Margaret’s eyes dimmed as she watched the interaction between Marshall and Katherine.
Kyle teased, “What are you guys doing? Let go of that hand! We’re all watching!”
Marshall wouldn’t care if somebody was watching and even tightened his grip on Katherine, “Her hands
are too cold. I want to warm them up. Stop looking at us.”
Katherine wanted to draw her hands out but failed.
“Marshall, are you done with your acting? Let go of me.”
Marshall looked at Katherine and loosed his grip which was unlike what he would normally do, “How
come that you are also misreading me?”
Katherine really didn’t feel like talking to him.
When the group arrived at the supermarket, they all got trollies.
Marshall approached Katherine once again, “What do you want to eat? Get more of these.”
Katherine just ignored him and focused on picking items.
Margaret followed Katherine and watched Marshall busying around Katherine.
She said to Kyle beside her in a muffled voice, “They’re divorced couples. How can they be like this?
Isn’t it weird?”
Kyle fixed his eyes on the counters the whole time and naturally answered, “Well, it’s absolutely weird.
But a fool can tell that Marshall is obviously in love with Katherine.”
Margaret paused and turned to Kyle, “Really? But why would they get divorced if it’s true? They must
get divorced because they had no feelings for each other.”
Kyle can’t really understand and looked at Margaret after examining around, “I don’t really know. But
why are you so curious about their relationship? Don’t worry about them. Love is surly a complicate
subject.”
Margaret withdrew her sight, “Right, the most complex one.”
They didn’t really spend much time on shopping and just got what they wanted to eat.
Marshall paid for the groceries and said that he and Katherine were on the house.
Kyle hissed, “How come that you are always dragging Katherine with you? I might get mistaken. Are
you trying to compete with my bro?”
He was clearly referring to Hector.
Margaret hurriedly stared at Marshall since Hector showed his affection towards Katherine on stage.
Marshall sniggered, “Hector?”
Then he shook his head, “You thought too much. He never stood a chance.”
Kyle and Hector were great friends and immediately got irritated hearing Marshall’s words. He then
turned to Katherine, “Tell me. Marshall and Hector. Which one is better. I want to know your thought
right away.”
Katherine looked at them in boredom, “Neither of them, okay? They both have no chance. It’s
impossible. Got it?”
Margaret spoke before Kyle can even say something, “Aren’t you together with Hector now? Why are
you saying it’s impossible?”
Katherine shrugged, “It’s really a misunderstanding. Let’s just say that I have nothing to do with them
both. Okay, let’s just go home and enjoy dinner, shall we?”
Marshall nodded and didn’t really mind Katherine’s explanation. He even hugged Katherine’s
shoulders, “Right, let’s go home first.”
Katherine frowned and Marshall slowly took his hands back.
Margaret gazed at Katherine and said in an almost inaudible voice, “I see.”
