Katherine was still asleep when her mobile phone vibrated the next morning.
It was Marshall who had already left for work who called.
Marshall had just finished a meeting in the company. He wanted to take some time off to bring
Katherine to visit the hometown villagers.
They had mentioned it numerous times of their wish to thank her in person.
Katherine also recalled about it. She had mentioned that she wanted to take out some time to visit
them.
However, her memory was not cooperating with her as it slipped off her mind.
After receiving Marshall’s call, Katherine sat up slowly.
It was already bright outside, when she answered it in a daze.
Marshall said that he would come back for lunch. He wanted Katherine to prepare to head out after
lunch as he would take her to see those hometown villagers.
Katherine said yes, then squinted her eyes, “Got it.”
Marshall hung up the phone, while Katherine continues to sit there for a long time, then finally lay down
again.
She had been having very good sleep quality. She may really be in the second trimester, and her whole
body has entered a very comfortable stage.
She fell asleep for a short nap as she lay on the bed. It was the helper who came up with her meal that
woke her up.
Katherine quickly washed up, chose her outfit, and went to put on makeup to look a little more
energetic.
Then she sat down, placed her phone aside, and slowly had her meal.
Katherine was watching the entertainment news when her mobile phone suddenly vibrated. It was
Clara who called.
Katherine was taken aback, and she stared at the phone in a daze.
She and Clara were not in a situation where they could call and chat with each another.
Therefore, she was unable to decipher the purpose behind Clara’s phone call.
Katherine intentionally didn’t answer the first time. She just wanted to ignore Clara.
Clara, who was on the other end, was quite patient, she called a second time.
This time Katherine answered, her voice was lazy, “What’s the matter, Miss Henderson.”
Clara smiled over there, sounding a bit stiff and pretentious as usual.
She said, “Miss Jordan, I feel apologetic. I have been in contact with Marshall recently due to some
matters. I went to the Grant Residence that day and didn’t manage to say goodbye to you when I left. I
have been thinking about it for the past two days. I feel that that was a little impolite on my side, and I
want to apologize to you.”
Katherine almost laughed. This was interesting.
It had been several days since this incident, and she suddenly mentioned it now. She was unsure why
the reflexes in her mind took her so long.
Katherine smiled, “If you didn’t say it, I would have forgotten all about it.”
Clara paused for a moment, and then said, “I saw Marshall’s social media. You two have remarried,
and I would like to congratulate you.”
Katherine gave a slight acknowledgment said, “Marshall thought about it over an extended period
before he decided on remarrying. I thought about it and decided that I can’t let others take advantage of
him. After all, I don’t have a good alternative now, so I’d just decided to tie him down then decide from
there.”
Katherine’s words were really a little provoking. She might had let go of her grievances with Clara, but
when they met, she always couldn’t control and would want to say things that would make the other
party feel uncomfortable.
Perhaps using the term ‘eternal enemy’ would be the most appropriate way to describe them.
She thought that she had let it go. However, whenever she encounters her, she would put her defenses
up and uncontrollably verbally attack her.
When she said that, Clara had nothing to rebut.
Clara always knew that Katherine was a person who didn’t leave any room for the other party to speak.
She actually thought a lot before calling today. She thought that no matter what Katherine said, she
could take it tactfully.
However, just a few words from her and she was already stuck. She had no way to defend herself.
Clara sighed and tried to slow down her voice as much as possible, “I’m just afraid that you’ll think too
much. There is nothing between me and Marshall. It’s just a cordial relationship. It used to be and is
still now.”
Katherine said yes and very perfunctory responded, “Marshall told me about it, I understand. I have
never worried about anything that would happen between you two as Marshall had promised me. I
believe in his character. He said that in this world, I was the only woman that looked pleasing to his
eye. Everyone else is ugly.”
The more she spoke, the more outrageous it became. Clara, who was on the other end of the call,
couldn’t take it.
Her voice finally sensed some embarrassment, “Well, since you have said that then I won’t say much.
Rest well, that’s all from me.”
After hanging up the phone, Katherine put the phone aside and snorted.
Her appetite was not very good earlier, but after she had the phone call, she is in a good mood hence
her appetite had increased.
After Katherine finished her meal, she brought the plate down.
Old Mrs. Grant had already returned from a walk.
After she came in, she was helped by the helper to sit on the sofa, and then said to herself, “Lucas
seems to have an appointment with his girlfriend. I’m having lunch with Lydia at noon. Your side should
decide soon so that the second extension of the family can stop harping on it. I really don't like that you
weren’t able to have a proper meal yesterday.”
Katherine handed the plate to the helper, and went over to sit next to Old Mrs. Grant, “Once Lucas
settles down, Lydia would also feel at ease.”
Old Mrs. Grant sighed, and shook her head helplessly, “They are so impatient. I am actually really
afraid that Lucas would be affected and find someone that he doesn’t really like.”
Katherine felt that Lucas wouldn’t be the case.
How could he be so hasty when dealing with things that are related to his life?
Katherine comforted Old Mrs. Grant, “No, they are all adults. They will be very comprehensive when
they’re considering matters. Why would they make jokes about their own lives?”
Old Mrs. Grant nodded, but she still seemed a little uneasy, “I hope so.”
Katherine was full and had enough sleep.
There was nothing to do now. After chatting with Old Mrs. Grant for a while, she got up and went for a
walk outside.
Lydia was a little happy. She usually doesn’t go out for a walk. Today, she hummed a song and shook
her arms, walking slowly in the backyard.
Katherine didn’t avoid Lydia, she just ignored her instead.
She followed her route towards the backyard.
It was rare that Lydia had a smile on her face when she met Katherine.
She greeted Katherine when she was far away, “You’re out for a walk again, Kathy? Oh, your stomach
seemed to have gotten bigger in the night. Have you gone to check if it was a boy or a girl?”
Katherine didn’t respond, as if she hadn't heard it.
She waited until she walked to Lydia before she spoke, “You are too out for a walk. You seem to be in a
good mood today.”
Lydia laughed and didn’t mind that she didn't answer her earlier.
She said, “Yes, I came out for a stretch. I’ll be heading to the company in a while. Lucas had made an
appointment with his girlfriend for lunch. I heard that the girl is quite good, so he’ll probably settle down
with her.”
Katherine smirked and it looked like she was laughing. She sarcastically responded, “That’s great.”
As she said, she walked towards the backyard.
Lydia seemed a little reluctant to give up and turned to follow.
She said, “Yes, | came out for a stretch. I'll be heading to the company in a while. Lucas had made an
appointment with his girlfriend for lunch. | heard that the girl is quite good, so he'll probably settle down
with her.”
Katherine smirked and it looked like she was laughing. She sarcastically responded, “That's great.”
As she said, she walked towards the backyard.
Lydia seemed a little reluctant to give up and turned to follow.
