Katherine squinted at Frances. She was a little bit confused about Frances’ current behaviors!
Frances always hated things that had to do with her.
But now she took the initiative to approach her, which was really confusing.
Kyle didn’t think too much and directly asked everyone to get in the car.
Frances looked at Katherine and then said, “I can go in Kyle’s car.”
Katherine wondered if Frances didn’t want to share a car with her.
Then that was exactly what she wanted.
Katherine got into Marshall’s car directly, and then the two cars drove away.
Along the way, Katherine didn’t speak with Marshall. She looked sullen and a little listless.
Marshall had turned his head to look at her several times, and Katherine leaned against the car window
and looked outside with no expression at all.
There were still ingredients in the refrigerator at home, so they went straight there. Kyle and Marshall
were there. It didn’t seem to be necessary for Katherine to cook.
So Katherine directly went upstairs, changed her clothes, and sat on the side of the bed.
After pondering for a while, she took out the inspection report and stared at the B-ultrasonic image.
Frances took pity on Marshall, thinking that Katherine was addicted to ordering Marshall.
She saw Katherine go upstairs to rest and leave all these tasks to these two men.
Frances was a little unhappy. After thinking about it, she also stood up and went upstairs.
The door of Katherine’s room was open, and Frances went straight in.
But Katherine was not in the room. The bathroom door was closed, and a faint voice came from inside.
Frances had wanted to give Katherine a shout, but in the end, she didn’t do that. She saw something
on the bed and leaned over to have a look.
As soon as Katherine came out of the bathroom, she saw Frances standing in the room.
She was taken aback at first, but when she saw Frances holding the report, she panicked, dashed over
to grab it, and shouted, “Who let you in?”
Katherine’s voice became louder uncontrollably.
She looked angry.
Frances stared at Katherine, and at this time she didn’t care about Katherine’s attitude towards her.
She hesitated, “You are pregnant.”
Katherine pursed her mouth and said nothing.
Frances continued, “Marshall’s, right?”
Katherine denied directly, “No.”
Frances took a breath, “Apart from him, there are no men around you.”
It seemed that Hector and Kyle were both women.
Frances thought for a while, “Don’t Marshall know?”
Katherine folded the report and put it in her pocket, “I have said it’s not his child. It has nothing to do
with him.”
Frances was very sure that this child must be the root of the Grant family.
Katherine was not a casual person. Although she didn’t like Katherine, she couldn’t slander her
indiscriminately.
Frances frowned and just followed her own thoughts, not caring about what Katherine said, “Your belly
will get bigger and bigger. You can’t hide it.”
Katherine took a few deep breaths, turned around, and sat on the side of the bed.
Frances didn’t understand, “Since you are pregnant, why don’t you tell him? Maybe you two can
remarry.”
Katherine snorted and said, “Don’t say as if your son is unique. I really don’t care to take the child as an
excuse to remarry.”
She looked up at Frances, “Perhaps you don’t know that it is your son who is begging me to remarry,
and I am the one who doesn’t want to.”
Frances looked at Katherine, “Why don’t you want to?”
She didn’t quite believe that. Not to mention Katherine, even Clara, who was also well-off, had a crush
on Marshall.
Katherine was not as good as Clara, but she said she didn’t care.
Katherine laughed, “With a mother like you, I will exclude him first.”
Frances hissed, “You...”
She lowered her eyes, looked at Katherine’s belly, and swallowed her tongue back.
Katherine turned her gaze and looked down at her feet, “This child is just mine. It has nothing to do with
anyone.”
It took a long time for Frances to say, “If I tell Marshall about this...”
Katherine suddenly raised her head to look at Frances, and Frances then spoke with hesitation
somehow.
She paused and then tilted her chin up, “Stop dreaming. I won’t tell him. I wish you two would not be
together in this life.”
After speaking, Frances licked her lips, “But you will keep this child, right?”
Katherine didn’t answer right away, but asked Frances rhetorically, “What do you mean?”
Frances knew that Katherine had misunderstood her, so she quickly said, “Don’t get me wrong. I just
ask.”
Katherine’s voice was cold, “Don’t worry. I won’t use my child to extort the Grant family in the future. I
said that this child is just mine and has nothing to do with others.”
Frances stared at Katherine for a long time but finally didn’t say a word.
Marshall and Kyle were cooking downstairs. Kyle began to talk about the Bennett family’s affairs while
Marshall took the time to look at the living room.
He didn’t see Katherine, nor Frances.
Neither of them was there.
He was stunned for a moment, then quickly washed his hands and went out of the kitchen.
There was no one in the yard, and Marshall hurried upstairs.
As soon as he reached the second floor, Frances was coming out of Katherine’s room, and she didn’t
look well.
Marshall was taken aback, “What did you just say?”
Frances glanced at Marshall and said, “Don’t worry. I am the only one who is being bullied."
After speaking, she passed Marshall and went downstairs.
Frances didn’t stay here to eat and left directly.
Marshall went to the room and saw Katherine lying on the bed with her back to the door.
He hurried over, “Did my mom say something awkward just now?”
Katherine was a little sleepy, “No.”
Marshall didn’t believe it. These two people couldn’t get along well at all, and Frances didn’t look very
good when she left the room.
He walked around, stood on the other side of the bed, and looked at Katherine, “Her bark is worse than
her bite. Don’t take any of it to heart. I apologize for what she said to upset you.”
Katherine glanced at Marshall and then closed her eyes, “Really no.”
Marshall knelt on the bed with one leg, leaned forward, and touched Katherine’s forehead first, “What’s
wrong? I feel that you are not in good spirits during this period of time. Is there any discomfort? Should
I take you to the hospital?”
Katherine turned over, facing up, “No, I’m just tired. I’ll be fine after a few days of rest.”
After thinking about it, Marshall took Katherine’s hand, “Katherine.”
He called her name so formally that Katherine turned to look at him.
Marshall pinched her fingers, one by one, very carefully, “You tell me what I should do.”
Katherine frowned and didn’t understand what Marshall meant for a while.
Marshall sighed, “I really don’t understand what I should do to get you to be patient with me.”
Katherine was taken aback by his aggrieved look.
Marshall even pursed his lips, as if smiling, “I’ve tried my best, but I don’t feel you seem to be swayed
by what I do. Katherine, please give me a hint. What should I do to make you happy?”
