reading more on Katherine and Frances watched TV all afternoon and
Marshall really came back on time with Khalid and Kyle.
Kyle giggled as soon as he entered the living room and looked at Katherine, “Kathy, did you miss me?”
Katherine instantly recalled how Kyle was lectured by Rosie over the phone.
She beamed, “Did you just come back from Miss Mitchell’s place?”
Kyle’s face immediately changed, “Don’t bring her up! Just wait and see how I would teach her a lesson
when her arm is all right.”
Kyle only dared to say this in words.
Katherine had figured him out by now.
Katherine nodded, “All righty! You are absolutely right. It’s Rosie who can’t leave you and is counting on
you to help her out. She can’t live without you!”
Katherine was obviously taunting Kyle.
Kyle protested, “Can’t you say something nice to me? I’m really sweet to you before.”
Katherine chortled, “Didn’t you like my words? What more do you want from me?”
Marshall patted on Kyle’s arm, “You won’t be able to win her. Just give up.”
Kyle pondered for a while and sat next to Katherine, “Do you mind it if I have dinner here?”
Katherine nodded, “Of course not, but it doesn’t really matter at this point. I mean, you are already
here. I surly can’t throw you out.”
Kyle was irritated by Katherine’s words, but he failed to say anything back.
Katherine giggled when she saw that Kyle was defeated.
They all said that Kyle was fearless, but she really found him cute and a bit silly.
Khalid went straight to kitchen.
Frances was cooking dishes with the maid together.
Leaning against the doorframe, Khalid said nothing and just stared at Frances.
They were basically living together outside for the past couple of weeks.
They didn’t hire a nanny and Frances did all the work.
Frances would be making dinner in the kitchen every day when he got off work.
He really loved the way they were living together.
Frances used to be a bad cook before, so Khalid was really surprised to see how well she can cook
now.
Frances was really busy and immediately smiled when she saw Khalid, “What are you standing there
for? Go outside and chat with them. There is too much cooking smoke here.”
Khalid smiled gently, “I just want to stay here and look at you.”
Well, though Khalid was middle-aged now, he can be really sweet sometimes.
Frances then nodded, “Fine, do whatever you want. If you are really bored, come in and help me.”
Khalid then took off his coat, tossed it on the sofa and went in the kitchen, “What can I do? Tell me.”
Actually, there was nothing for Khalid to do as the maid was quite capable.
Frances turned around and motioned the maid to go out, “We got this.”
The maid was taken aback.
Frances had really changed and so did Khalid.
Noticing that the maid was a bit frozen, Frances patted her shoulder, “We got it here. It’s going to be all
right.”
The maid waited for a while and then went out.
Frances fetched an apron and handed it to Khalid, “Here you go. Your campaign gown.”
Khalid took it and stared at it for a while and just chuckled, but he really wore it and then said, “What
should I do next? Madame. I’m at your service.”
Frances was amused and instantly chortled.
She scanned around while searching her pockets.
Khalid paused, “What are you looking for?”
Frances smiled, “My phone. I want to take a photo of you in apron.”
Khalid directly handed Frances his phone and said, “Use mine.”
Frances then grabbed the phone and took a picture of Khalid.
Then she thought for a while and just posted a moment on Facebook using Khalid’s phone.
Khalid’s We chat account on the phone was personal and only had some family members and close
friends in it.
After posting it, Frances put the phone back to Khalid’s pocket, “We got to serve these dishes now.”
Khalid nodded, “Okay, I got it.”
They made a great team and looked quite merry.
Katherine stared at them for a while and patted Marshall’s shoulder and pointed the kitchen, “Your dad
and mom are really lovely now.”
Kyle first turned around and lamented, “Sometimes I feel that Marshall is on the same path like his
dad.”
He then interpreted, “Marshall used to be pretty cold and indifferent. He got divorced and then
remarried with you.
After going through all this, he is much more gentle. His dad is the same.
He looked at Frances and Khalid again and added, “I always think that uncle Khalid is quite stable and
aloof. Though they still hadn’t got remarried yet, he is obviously more sweet and easy-going.”
Marshall shrugged his shoulder, “Well, we are indeed a family.”
He had some similar experiences in terms of marriage with Khalid, but his got through those obstacles
much earlier than Khalid.
After chatting for a while, Marshall wanted to go upstairs.
Katherine can see that they have some serious matters to discuss today, so she just waved her hand,
“Don’t mind me. I will be all right.”
Marshall stood up and stroked Katherine’s hair, “I will make time to accompany you when this whole
matter is over.”
Katherine nodded, “Okay.”
After Marshall and Kyle went upstairs, Old Mrs. Grant who was taking a walk outside came back.
She saw Marshall’s pulling over before and asked when she didn’t see Marshall in the living room, “Did
he go upstairs?”
Katherine nodded, “Yeah, he got to deal with something. I’ll call him when dinner is ready.”
Then she added, “Kyle is also here.”
Old Mrs. Grant was quite excited, “We would have a merry dinner as Kyle is here.”
Kyle was really good at livening up the atmosphere.
Old Mrs. Grant sat on the sofa and let out a long breath, “Well, I really wondered what kind of girl will
that kid Kyle end up with. He is too carefree. I really had thought about the age appropriate girls around
me and found no match for him.”
Katherine blinked, “Grandma, there is no telling on these things. He might like a girl who we don’t think
is suitable for him.”
Old Mrs. Grant nodded and turned to Katherine, “Just like you and Marshall. No one has thought that
Marshall would be the one begging for love.” reading more on
