Marshall just nodded, “Sure.”
He didn’t say anything else as he was in no position to comment on these things.
Khalid actually felt odd to bring up Willis and just added, “There is nothing between me and Willis. She
said that she had moved on and I believed her.”
Marshall replied, “Well, it’s probably so.”
Then after chatting other things for a while, they went to their bedrooms.
Marshall opened the door and saw Katherine curling up on the bed.
He then went over and stood by the bedside and looked down on Katherine who looked actually a bit
miserable in her position.
Marshall then turned around and went to shower.
Katherine didn’t even move when he came back.
Marshall heaved a sigh and went to bed cautiously and hugged her into his chest.
Katherine was still sleeping but was clearly having bad dreams.
Eyebrows knitted, she looked pretty sad.
Marshall unfurled Katherine’s eyebrows and said, “Take it easy. Don’t be sad.”
Katherine mumbled grandpa in her dreams.
Marshall felt incredibly soft inside and hugged her even closer and just let out a sigh.
Well, it would probably take him more than one lifetime to make up for the pains he caused to
Katherine.
Katherine didn’t sleep well the whole night and woke up at daylight.
Marshall was still sleeping next to her.
She couldn’t fall back to sleep anymore and just grabbed a clothes and went out.
She slowly strolled towards the back yard. As people were still in their dreams at this time, the whole
mansion was in dead silence.
She straight passed the back door and went into the bamboo forest along the neat path.
There were still dewdrops in the air in the forest, so Katherine was taking a slow walk.
She didn’t reach the topmost point and just stopped after feeling tired.
She then took a rest on a big rock.
After taking a break for a while, Katherine heard sound coming from the bamboo forest and just stared
at the path.
A person then showed up from the turn in a moment.
Katherine cracked a smiled, “What are you doing so early?”
Lucas paused when he saw Katherine, “You are alone here?”
Katherine answered, “Yeah, I couldn’t sleep and want to take a walk.”
Lucas then walked over to her side, “Me too. I couldn’t sleep and can’t stand just laying on the bed, so I
just went out.”
Lucas still got dews on his hair after a lap.
It was a huge rock and Katherine motioned, “Don’t you want to have a break?”
Lucas examined the rock and saw down.
Katherine looked at the bamboo forest, “This is my first time to see this view so early. It felt great.”
Lucas chucked, “Well, not for me. I’ve got used to this scenery.”
After pausing for a while, Katherine said, “I heard that you are taking over all the tasks from
cooperating with the Hendersons. Would it be troublesome?”
“Nah, not really.” Lucas stopped and continued, “The Hendersons also changed the person in charge
after I took over. I really don’t know what are they thinking about.”
Well, Katherine figured out the reason immediately.
But she just raised the corner of her mouth and didn’t say anything.
Lucas then continued, “Miss Henderson came by the company earlier and we had a chat. I just felt that
she was too obedient and didn’t have a lot of opinions of her own.”
Katherine was actually surprised as she always saw Clara as a strong-minded woman.
Lucas then pursued, “It was probably related to the way she was raised up. After all, she is a girl and
has a younger brother, so the focus of her family isn’t really on her. She is sort of a tool.”
Katherine didn’t really know her family well, but she knew that she had a brother.
After pondering for a moment, she asked, “Well, a daughter and a son. Isn’t it perfect?”
Lucas nodded, “Well, it is nice to normal family, but in the Hendersons, girls are probably just not that
important.”
Katherine then got silent.
She thought that boys were only favored in the little village as the labor force was kind of a necessity in
every household.
Boys were much more helpful during harvest seasons as they were got more strength.
Katherine grew up in this sort of culture and was really shocked that this idea also existed in the city.
Lucas chortled, “Well, it’s just my feeling. I’m not sure if it’s true.”
After chatting for a while, Lucas said that he wanted to go back. Katherine didn’t want to go back to the
mansion so early and said that she wanted to stayed longer.
Lucas nodded and told her to be careful and just left.
After resting for a moment, her phone started ringing.
She thought it was Marshall but found that it was Kyle when she took out of the phone.
It was really odd that Kyle would call her at this time.
Katherine picked up the phone and it turned out that it wasn’t Kyle but one of his minions.
The minion was suppressing his voice and was clearly avoiding Kyle.
Katherine frowned, “What happened?”
The minion called her Miss Jordan and wondered when she can visit the club as Kyle was throwing a
tantrum and nobody was able to soothe him.
Katherine was taken aback, “What exactly happened?”
The minion didn’t know the reason and just answered in a low voice, “He was probably beaten up. I
saw bruises on his face, but I dared not to ask him.”
Katherine instantly stood up, “Got beaten up?”
Katherine wouldn’t believe that Kyle was hit in a million years.
Kyle was pretty hot-tempered and would for sure take an upper hand in a fight.
The minion wasn’t very clear about the situation as Kyle just stared smashing things around and calling
names early in the morning.
This was truly a rare thing and people around was afraid to approach him or ask any questions, so he
can just catch his phone and call Katherine secretly when Kyle threw his phone out.
The minion wondered if Katherine can come by and help them.
Katherine then went downhill and asked, “Okay, I’ll come over now. Is he still breaking things?”
The minion replied yes and said that he had been crushing items for a long time and they thought that
he would stop when he was tired, but he just went on losing his temper.
Katherine even wanted to laugh and felt sorry for the people in the club, but how come that Kyle can be
beaten up?
How exciting!
Katherine went back to the mansion and bumped into Marshall who was looking for her.
Marshall said that he thought she would go to the bamboo forest and wanted to meet her.
Katherine then told Marshall what happened and said that she wanted to check things out.
Marshall was also surprised that Kyle was hit, “He was beaten up? It can’t be true. He would definitely
not put himself at a disadvantage in a fight.”
Katherine was a bit excited, “So I want to see what exactly happened.”
She then entered the living room quickly.
Marshall paused and stared at Katherine’s back.
Well, it looked like that she had forgot what happened yesterday which was really great.
