Clara was really good at hiding her emotions and seemed undisturbed.

While Katherine was checking the menus, Clara spoke up, “I had some arguments with Miss Jordan in

the hospital before and I just lost my cool and fought with you. I got to apologize to you. I didn’t know

you are pregnant and would really feel bad if something terrible happened to you.”

Katherine then landed her sight on Clara’s face and smiled, “It’s all right. I have already put that chapter

behind my mind. It’s really unnecessary to have this dinner today.”

Clara nodded, “I know that you probably don’t care about that anymore, but I just felt bad and wanted

to explain this to you in person.”

Katherine looked at Clara and seemed to be beaming, but actually, there was no smile in her eyes.

She always had mad respect for Clara as she can never be as flexible as her.

If she was in her shoes, she would just part ways with her.

She really didn’t like having unfinished connections with person she didn’t like which would just make

her uncomfortable.

Clara was actually make things difficult for both of them by doing this.

Frances and Katherine then ordered a few more dishes and then handed the menu to Marshall, “Here,

it’s your turn.”

Marshall grinned, “Well, I like everything that Katherine has ordered. I’ll pass.”

Katherine let out a humph, “You are pretty sweet now.”

Marshall grinned, “Are you trying to get back at me now?”

Katherine pouted and didn’t say anything.

Clara looked at their interaction and was smiling the whole time.

While they were waiting for the dishes, Clara held a glass of water and said to Katherine, “I know that

you can’t drink and Marshall has to drive, so I didn’t order wine. Now that I’d like to apologize to you

officially with this cup of water instead of wine.”

Katherine looked gentle and held the glass of water to Clara’s direction and just said, “Well, I don’t

have my good appetite as before and wouldn’t be able to have anything if I drink now, but I have felt

your sincerity and let’s just move on and stop bringing this topic up.”

Clara glanced at the Katherine’s cup and nodded, “Sure.”

Frances also gazed at the cup.

The water was already here when they arrived, so Clara must have poured it, so Katherine was right to

be careful.

Frances then examined at Clara who seemed calm and wasn’t showing any trepidation.

She even looked back and was composed.

Clara then turned to Marshall and talked about their business deals.

Marshall was just listening and would say a few words and was obviously uninterested in work matters,

but Clara acted like she didn’t sense a thing and was seriously asking him a batch of good that she

planned to purchase from the Grant’s company.

Katherine didn’t like hearing this kind of topics and just asked Frances, “I noticed that you got a text on

the way here and didn’t text back. What happened? Is it Mr. Grant?”

Frances immediately froze and suppressed her voice, “Can we talk about this in private?”

Katherine blinked her eyes and giggled, “Who are you wary of?”

Though she was deliberately her voice, everyone on the table can hear her words as she wasn’t

exactly whispering.

Clara happened to be drinking water and just heard Katherine’s words.

She grabbed the water cup and heard Frances’ reply, “It’s not like that. This is just between us.”

Frances’ words were actually pretty normal, but Clara was still upset.

She grabbed the cup and pretended to be drinking to hide her bitter face while they were not paying

attention.

The dishes were served pretty quickly, so they didn’t actually get a lot of time to have serious

conversations and Katherine just stopped talking.

Frances was like a mom and was telling Katherine to have a balanced diet.

Though Frances can be annoying sometimes, she was pretty sweet and sincere to Clara before, but

now, all of the attention and love had shifted to Katherine.

Clara really felt like laughing as Katherine seemed to be her arch enemy and was taking away

everything she had cherished.

Clara took a deep breath and put down the mug and saw Katherine and Marshall talking to each other

with the corner of her eyes.

Frances looked at the pair and seemed to be contented,

Sitting opposite of them, Clara was like an outsider.

Even though she was plotting something, it had all disappeared when she witnessed this scene.

All of the things she had done before was beyond ridiculous.

Then she just stopped talking and the atmosphere in the room was much more joyful.

Katherine and Frances started joking with each other and were like friends.

Frances was pretty protective of Katherine and would tease Marshall once in a while,

In the end, Katherine seemed to pick up the water cup unconsciously and Clara just interrupted, “The

water is cold. Let’s change it tp another one.”

Katherine paused. She actually didn’t meant to drink it, but she was still surprised when she heard

Clara’s words.

Clara seemed cool and just continued eating.

Marshall looked at Clara indifferently and regained his calmness.

While they were having dinner, Marshall had the excuse to use the bathroom and just paired the tab as

there was no way that he would let Clara pay the dinner.

But as he just arrived at the counter, Clara followed.

She called Marshall and said, “I know you would be here to pay.”

Marshall nodded and didn’t say anything.

Clara didn’t exactly mean to compete with Marshall as the dinner didn’t cost much.

After Marshall paid for the dinner, Clara turned to Marshall, “Let’s have a talk. I promise that this would

be the last time that I would disturb you.”

Marshall slightly frowned and nodded as he really wanted to talk things through with Clara.

He really didn’t want Clara to pester to him anymore.

He was a pretty straightforward man and really hated this kind of relationship.

The pair then stood by the door.

Clara first laughed, “You and Katherine seem to be a lovely couple.”

Marshall smiled, “We really are.”

Clara answered with resignation, “Marshall, I like you. I know that you get my feeling from the

beginning and I’m also aware that you don’t like me.”

Then she let out a self-deprecating smile, “You never liked me, right?”
