That man was stunned because of his sudden question.

He raised his head to look at Peter, smiling awkwardly, “Well, it depends on the adjustment of the

designer. But commonly speaking, it will be finished before noon.”

Peter nodded and squatted down to watch those tools, “You got so many to use? I can’t even name

one of them.”

That man smiled, “But your forte is about the office.”

Peter looked at him, “How long have you been working on it?”

That man paused and then looked at Peter. But he still answered, “About five years. I once owed my

own business. But I only earned a little. So I am here to work for the company.”

Peter nodded and smiled to watch him checking the cameras.

Marshall kept watching in the yard. After quite a while, he said to both Katherine and Frances, “Just

back to the room to take a rest. Peter and I will stay for watching.”

Katherine agreed so. After all, that guy didn’t seem to have a chance under surveillance.

She nodded and held Frances’s arm, “Alright, let’s get back to the room.”

Frances was also a bit tired after watching them working for a while.

She nodded and entered the parlor with Katherine.

As Katherine walked in, she happened to pass that guy.

She turned to look at him while that man happened to raise his head to look at her.

Then there came an eye contact.

That man looked emotionless with a poker face.

But Katherine wore a mysterious smile.

That man suddenly stopped when seeing that. He fixed his eyes on her.

Katherine shifted her gaze off from him and went upstairs with Frances.

Then they entered the bedroom of Katherine.

Frances didn’t utter until she closed the door, “Why were you smiling at that man? Did you notice

something wrong?”

Katherine sat on the bed with her back against the wall, “Nothing. I was just curious about his face. So I

watched him for a few seconds.”

Frances huffed, speechless.

She then walked over to the window and stood still. She sighed, “What’s wrong with my life? I only

expect that everything will be fine when you give birth to the baby. But now just look! Those troubles

seem to be endless!”

After pondering for seconds, Katherine said, “But some people wanna kill my baby.”

Frances turned to look at her. Of course, she could tell whom she was referring to.

As Katherine was sitting on the bed, her phone rang.

She grabbed her phone to check. But then she frowned and hung it up.

Frances was a bit surprised, “Why don’t you answer it? Who’s calling you?”

Katherine let out her breath, “Just a crank call. I have got a lot of calls like that. So I hung it up.”

Frances nodded and didn’t notice anything weird.

Katherine felt a bit bored while sitting still. After checking her phone for a while, she lay down.

As the sleepiness still lingered due to pregnancy, she felt like sleeping.

So she asked Frances to draw the curtain on her side. And then she fell asleep.

Frances returned to her own room after staying for a while.

As Katherine was in sound sleep, her phone rang again.

Half-awaken, she grabbed the phone and answered it without checking the number.

Then a happy voice sounded, “Kathy, what are you doing?”

As she didn’t catch his words clearly, she didn’t respond.

But her silence didn’t seem to extinguish his passion.

Then his voice sounded again, “I just finish cleaning the house. Your little sister is so naughty that she

messed everything up. I couldn’t help recalling the old days when you were still a little girl. Unlike her,

you really behaved yourself.”

Katherine slowly opened her eyes and looked at the screen. Then she hung it up.

She really got annoyed by their ‘family story’.

Katherine powered off her phone and turned around to continue to sleep.

Marshall entered the parlor and talked to the supervisor, the elder man. But the conversation seemed

to be a casual one.

While talking, he particularly glanced at that guy for a few times.

So in the eyes of others, they seemed to be talking about that guy.

Obviously, Marshall could tell that that guy looked a bit uneasy.

Though he didn’t dodge his glimpse, he showed no courage to have eye contact with Marshall.

Though Marshall wasn’t sharp about judging others, now he was still sure that there was something

wrong with this guy.

Lucky, this time Katherine was cautious enough to notice that. Otherwise, it would be hard to predict

what tricks this guy was up for today.

After a while, that guy also noticed himself being watched. So he came to the supervisor to ask for a

leave as he claimed himself to be sick.

The supervisor seemed to be sullen. He said with low voice, “I make you here as a substitute for the

team. Who else do you expect me to turn to if you drop what you need to do?”

That guy looked awkward, “But I do feel a bit sick and dizzy.”

The supervisor waved his hand, “Alright, alright, just dismiss yourself as you feel too bad to work.”

That man nodded, looking humble, “Thank you. I am so sorry for bothering you.”

Peter stood in the yard and saw that guy place the tool cabinet into the car. Then he walked outside the

community.

Peter smiled and then followed over a few seconds later.

Marshall still stood in the parlor. He slowly turned around to tell the workers to avoid making noise.

Then he walked upstairs.

While sleeping, Katherine felt like being kissed.

Then Marshall’s voice sounded, “Sorry to bring you trouble.”

Katherine felt like complaining for being disturbed. But when hearing that, she held it back.

Marshall sat on the bedside, lay down and hugged her into his arms. Katherine didn’t dodge this time.

She just turned around to adjust her position.

As a bit awake, she just simply kept her eyes closed to rest.

Lying back against the pillow, Marshall murmured in low voice. Perhaps he was talking to both himself

and to Katherine.

“Grandma has consulted a fortuneteller. She selected a nice date for us to get the marriage license,

which should indicate a good sign of our ever-lasting marriage. Though it sounds superstitious, I’d love

to accept it out of fortune. So I suggest we should get the marriage license that day.”

He sighed, “I know you are unwilling to accept it and you don’t feel like forgiving me. I am aware that I

did do something wrong before. But I swear I have never done anything to cheat on you. Clara and I

have got engaged before but nothing else happened between us besides that.”

His voice still remained warm and soft, “Even after divorce, I have never thought about getting together

with her. Though I was in a mess at that time, I just want to live my own life. Nor have I fancied starting

a new relationship with any other ladies. Trust me. I have never lied to you.”

With her lips pressed, Katherine clearly caught every single word of his.

Marshall caressed her belly, “May I have a chance to redeem my mistake?”

Katherine finally uttered after letting out her breath. But she didn’t continue with his topic, “Marshall, I

just want a nice sleep. You are annoying me.”
