Marshall’s minions didn’t know this woman’s exact identity yet as they only got a short time and was
able to get some basic information of her.
They also said that this was this woman’s second marriage and she married into this city from other
provinces. She didn’t have any family members and was here alone, so if Marshall was not in a hurry,
they would dig her previous life before this marriage.
Marshall really didn’t want to know that much and just said, “These information is enough.”
He then told his minions to come back and stop investigating her.
Then he hung up the phone.
He then examined the picture which was clearly taken in discreet.
She was buying groceries in the photo and dressed quite casually.
Marshall even zoomed in the picture and thought that this woman actually didn’t look like Katherine.
No one can tell that they were biologically related just by comparing the pictures.
Marshall thought for a minute and then deleted the picture and remained motionless for a long time.
Katherine finished the lunch quickly and went out the dining room.
Standing in the living room, she surveyed Marshall who clearly was off the phone but was stilling
standing there and seemed like to be musing something.
Katherine pondered for a minute and approached him, “What are you doing here? Aren’t you going to
have lunch?”
Marshall turned around and hugged Katherine into his chest, “How come that you finished the lunch so
fast?”
Katherine broke away from his hug and said, “Is that so? Well, you took such a long time to have that
call.”
Then she paused a bit and continued, “Who were you talking to? You didn’t look all right.”
Marshall grinned, “Really? Well, nothing important really happened. I’m quite good.”
Katherine frowned and gazed at Marshall seriously, “You don’t look merry.”
Marshall giggled and pinched at Katherine’s face, “No, I’m beyond happy when I’m with you.”
Then he quickly added, “Don’t go out these days. If you need anything, I will ask someone to deliver for
you. I was followed when I came home earlier. They didn’t do anything crazy, but I’m just not sure what
were they up to.”
Katherine paused and stared at Marshall, “You were followed? What the hell do they want to do in the
middle of the day!”
Marshall let out a long breath, “I’m not sure whether they are after me or you. So we got to be cautious.
Just stay at home recently and just let me whatever you need.”
Katherine stroked her belly and nodded.
She can be willful before, but now, she wouldn’t do anything unsafe to endanger her baby.
She was a mother now.
Marshall then held Katherine, “Let’s go. I’m hungry.”
Then the pair entered the dining room.
Frances looked out of spirits and just said to the that she was full and wanted to take a nap.
Then she went upstairs.
After Frances left, Katherine said to Marshall, “Frances doesn’t look all right today. She seemed tried all
day.”
Marshall looked at the direction of the staircase and replied, “Well, I got to let my father know this. I
really don’t know if they want to get back together or just decide to move on.”
Katherine sighed, “Well, I don’t know what your father is thinking about, but I’m sure that your mother
still has feelings for your father. As their son, you got to do something for them.”
Marshall then slowly drooped his eyes and gazed at Katherine’s belly.
To some extent, this baby in Katherine’s belly was doing exact the same thing as he was portraying.
Frances went upstairs and lay on the bed.
She didn’t know why, but she just felt dizzy and nauseous.
Eyes closes, Frances felt void in her heart.
Then she just dozed off and didn’t even know when Marshall left.
It was late in the afternoon when she woke up again.
She got up and went to freshen herself up in the bathroom and found that Khalid had texted her.
He was just wondering if she was feeling all right now.
Frances didn’t want to respond and just pretended that she didn’t see the text.
Then she went downstairs and found that Katherine was watching TV joyfully with all kinds of snacks
on the table.
Frances went over and said to Katherine, “You ought to eat more fruit and less this kind of snacks.”
Katherine handed the popcorn to Frances, “You slept quite a long time. Are you pregnant?”
Frances tapped Katherine on the shoulder, “Stop talking nonsense.”
Katherine nodded and then turned to TV, “We’ll have dinner later. You slept the whole afternoon and
didn’t even digest. Do you have the stomach for dinner?”
Leaning against the couch, Frances let out a sigh and didn’t say anything.
After a while, Marshall came home and Katherine was a bit disappointed when she didn’t see Khalid.
She didn’t even talk to Marshall and went straight to the dining room.
Frances didn’t have the appetite and just skipped the dinner.
She looked at Marshall, “Have the dinner first. I slept the whole afternoon and want to take a walk
outside.”
Marshall stared at Frances and nodded, “Sure, you don’t look all right. It might be good for you to stroll
around.”
Dressed in home wear, Frances combed her hair and just left.
Marshall went into the dining room and sat across Katherine, “What are you unhappy about?”
Katherine directly answered, “Well, I really don’t know what your father is thinking about. How come he
isn’t here today? He seemed pretty nice the last couple of days. Your mom is obviously distracted
these days because of him.”
Marshall picked up the chopsticks, “Well, they got to figure out their relationship themselves. There is
nothing we can do about it. They know what they are doing. Stop worrying about them.”
Katherine didn’t say anything and still looked moody.
Marshall then brought up another topic, “Have you contacted Lucas these days?”
Katherine paused, “Lucas? Isn’t him your brother? Why would I contact him?”
Marshall drooped his eyes, “Sure.”
Katherine rolled her eyes at him, “Why are you suspecting?”
Marshall waited for a while and replied, “Well, I met him today and he said some nice things about
you.”
Katherine snickered, “Well, anyone who is smart will find me quite great.”
Marshall let out a silent sigh and knew that Katherine was taunting him.
Then they just stopped talking. As Katherine had quite many snacks before, she was full quite quickly
but still accompanied Marshall in the dining room.
After the dinner, they were quite on the same page and just went outside for a walk.
Holding Katherine’s hand, Marshall said, “Do you know that grandpa didn’t mean to let you marry me in
the first place?”
