CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 32 Cut the Knot

"What? Why are you in such a hurry?" Peter said with his eyes fixed on the man aside of him.

Katherine was choked by the stupid question and said, "Because it would be ineffective for me to take it after 72 hours!”

"OK… I understand." Answered Peter, smacking his lips.

The way Peter replied was a bit unwilling.

Katherine hung up the phone right away .

Peter turned to the man that stood aside and said, "Now, what should I do, boss?”

"Go and do whatever she says. We can talk about the things later." Marshall took his seat on the sofa, flipped through the files at hand, sounded calm.

"No mean to offend, but are you really going to just let her take that thing, boss?" Peter asked.

Hearing the words of Peter, Marshall finally raised his head, looked at Peter and answered, "I have no choice this time."

The situation was the same as last time he did that thing with Katherine, it was all due to the uncontrollable and for this time he was even more mentally out of control.

Didn’t have any protections last time either, didn’t know if that had any effects or not.

Peter took a heavy sigh, "Fine."

He then stood up and walked towards the door. At the moment when he was about to open it, he stopped and asked again in a tentative tone, "Don't you guys ever plan to have a kid?”

Marshall paused and frowned. Have a kid with Katherine was absolutely not on his list of future plan, this never came across his mind.

After a few seconds of hesitation, Marshall putted down the files in his hands, leaned against the sofa and said, "Just go and ask no more.”

Peter knew that it was impossible to get any answer to that question from him, he got out and headed for his duty.

As Peter went out, Marshall stood up and looked out of the window. Ocean breeze was a bit strong at night, with moist and salty taste in the air. He then took out a cigarette from his pocket, didn't light it, simply just took a sniff at it.

The previous question posed by Peter was still lingering in his head. He began to flash back to those old days. Though he never took any measures each time he had sex with Katherine, they never had a child. Marshall assumed that Katherine wanted a child, sometimes he saw Katherine was secretly counting something and occasionally setting an alarm in her smartphone labelled as "the Most Fertile Period”. Marshall was intimidated by how she was acting, during times like this, Marshall would always find excuses, worked overtime to sleep in the study room. Katherine never said anything before, and didn’t know if she minded it or not. Marshall thought, Katherine wanted to use a child to tied him down. A woman with poor background marrying into the Grant Family, wanted to grab this opportunity and make a turnover.

However, Katherine had given up the idea of having a kid with Marshall after their divorce. From Marshall perceptive, it was because Katherine was satisfied with the divorce compensation thus she no longer considered giving birth to a child for the Grant Family as a big deal.

With all these things stuck in his head, Marshall scrunched up the cigarette and threw it out of the window.

Katherine had not finished her food, Peter came knocking on the door already.

Katherine went over and opened the door with her mouth still chewing, "Well, I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

Peter stood in the doorway, looked inside and said, "It seems like you're eating." He then handed over the pill box to Katherine and said, “I'm hungry too. I haven't eaten much these days.”

She then opened the box, there were two contraceptive pills inside, and they needed to be taken regularly. Since she had never taken any medicine of this sort, she pulled out the medicine instruction from the box and read thoroughly.

After a few seconds of hesitation, Peter made up his mind and stepped into the room, "Listen, Katherine, maybe you don't have to take that pill. If, by any chance, you were pregnant, you could…" NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Katherine suddenly turned to Peter and stared at him. She then sneered, "I could do what? Keep badgering with your boss, adding shame to my face? Come on!"

Katherine took out one pill from the plate and swallowed it without drinking any water.

She then continued on, "From the moment when I decided to divorce Marshall, I have made up my mind that for the rest of my life, I will no longer cling onto him anymore, and I'm serious."

As she finished speaking, it seemed that the pill that she had just swallowed was stuck in her throat and discomfort her. She then hastily drank up the cup of juice.

Looking at her, Peter frowned and gave a sigh, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have arranged for you and him to live on the same floor of the hotel."

"It's OK for me, Peter. You don't have to blame yourself for that." Katherine laughed out. She thought that if she and Marshall were not living at the same hotel tonight, it was likely that Marshall would invited some other women into his room and had sex with her. It was something that she could not bear to see under such a state of mind.

Suddenly, something somehow occurred to Katherine. She asked, "Tell me, Peter, what if I'm really pregnant? Marshall and his family are they really going to accept the baby?"
