Khalid really hadn’t returned home since he moved to live with Mrs. Grant. It seemed that he didn’t
really mean to come back to the Grant Residence.
Although Mrs. Grant was a little embarrassed, she still said, “I told him to come back at times, but he
thought it was too troublesome to drive back and forth.”
These are all excuses.
Katherine said, “We all know that he just didn’t want to leave you.”
Grandma Grant stood up and said, “I called your mother. She said she had time tomorrow. I’ll meet her
tomorrow and discuss with her.”
After saying this, Grandma Grant hesitated and said, “But Frances, I didn’t regret forcing you to divorce
Khalid. I think it may be because of the divorce that you finally had time and space to reflect on what
you could do to make your marriage last longer. After all this, you may better understand what marriage
really needs!”
Mrs. Grant nodded and said very seriously, “After the divorce, at first, I was confused, uncomfortable
and unwilling, but later I felt that the divorce had taught me a lot, which was an inevitable for me.”
In fact, she and Katherine were alike.
Katherine also felt the divorce between she and Marshall was an inevitable process for her.
Only after going through this process could we know whether two people were suitable for each other
and how they should treat their relationship correctly so that it would last longer.
Katherine was in low spirit, so Mrs. Grant went to have a walk with her outside. After walking for a
while, they saw Maria coming over.
They didn’t have much contact with her. She was always in a low profile in the Grant family.
Maria was a gentle woman who didn’t talk much.
Davies’ temperament was a bit like hers. They were both Buddha-like.
Maria came forward, smiling. She spoke first, “You are back, Frances.”
Mrs. Grant nodded, “Yes. Are you going out?”
Maria sighed, “It’s boring to be at home every day. The weather is good today, so I want to go shopping
with others to kill the time.”
“I’m envious. I can’t go shopping now,” Katherine said.
Maria sighed and stared at Katherine’s stomach. “Don’t envy me. You don’t know how much I envy you.
Now there is going to be a newborn in the family. It will be lively!”
Speaking of this, Maria went on, “I’m still thinking about when you and Marshall will marry again.
The whole family should get together and have a good time. Our house is too big, but there are not
many people and it’s very empty.”
Mrs. Grant could really relate to that. In the past, the men went out to work during the day. There were
only a few women at home. Back then she was arrogant and didn’t communicate with others, so she
only stayed in the main building with Grandma Grant.
Life was really simple and boring.
Maria was not in a hurry. So, she stood there, chatting with Mrs. Grant and Katherine.
Looking at Katherine’s big belly, Maria continued.
She said, “When you and Marshall just divorced. He was really anxious. I saw him sitting in a daze in
the garden several times. He looked pathetic and lonely. I knew he regretted divorcing you.”
Katherine didn’t know that. She smiled, “When?”
Maria thought for a moment, “It should be the time when the news of your divorce came out and you
moved away.”
She said, “Marshall was introvert. He was used to restraining his own emotions. But he really cared
about you, Katherine. It’s hard to meet a good guy like him.”
Katherine didn’t know if Maria came to persuade her to marry Marshall again.
But she couldn’t deny that a very vague picture appeared in her mind after listening to what Maria had
said.
She really wavered a bit.
After Maria left, Katherine and Mrs. Grant walked around for a while, and then Katherine said, “It’s
almost time for dinner. I’ll call Marshall and ask if he wants to come back for dinner.”
Mrs. Grant chuckled, “OK. You can call him and I’ll hang out by myself.”
Mrs. Grant went to another place by herself, giving the chance for Katherine to call Marshall.
Katherine immediately called Marshall.
Marshall answered the phone very quickly, and was surprised that Katherine should call him.
After hesitated for a second, Katherine asked, “Do you know whether the Bureau of Civil Affairs will
open tomorrow?”
Marshall was stunned.
“Bureau of Civil Affairs? Tomorrow was Saturday, so they must be closed.”
Katherine nodded, “OK. Whatever.”
Marshall took a while to understand what was going on and said, “Did you just want to ask me about
the Bureau of Civil Affairs? Are you going there tomorrow? But it will be closed tomorrow. If you have
time, let’s go there today.”
Katherine didn’t speak, just listening to Marshall.
Marshall waited. Seeing that Katherine didn’t speak, he immediately stood up. He said, “I’ll go back
home to pick you up now. Just be prepared.”
Katherine laughed at once, “Are you crazy? It’s almost noon. They must have a lunch break.”
Marshall looked at his watch and said, “It doesn’t matter. I’ll go back home and have lunch, and then
take you there in the afternoon. In fact, it won’t take long.”
Katherine didn’t speak again. Marshall hung up directly.
Marshall held his phone, standing there. He was stunned for a while and suddenly burst into laughter.
Are they finally going to be married again? Happiness came so suddenly that he couldn’t respond at
once.
Marshall stood where he was for a long time and didn’t know what to do next until Peter came in with a
document.
Marshall came to Peter from behind his desk and patted him on his shoulder as Peter passed by.
“Keep an eye on the business. You’re the boss now.”
Peter didn’t know what was going on, and Marshall had already left the office.
On his way back to the Grant Residence, Marshall felt the car was at its full speed.
It didn’t take a long time to arrive home. Marshall parked his car in the garage, and then strode towards
the main building. When he reached the building, he saw Katherine and Mrs. Grant.
They were sitting on the sofa and watching TV. Katherine was holding a bowl of fruit. She was eating it
with relish.
It seemed that what had happened in the hospital this morning did not have much impact on her.
Marshall stood there and looked at her for a while and then smiled.
