Chapter 462 Women Are All Double-minded

After finishing dinner, Marshall held Katherine’s hand and went to stroll around, leaving Frances and Khalid at home.

Katherine glanced at the house when she went out and had the feeling that her house was about to be occupied.

Pinching at Katherine’s fingers, Marshall asked, “How come that you are wearing your ring?”

Katherine frowned, “Are you crazy? Why would I wear a hell big ring at home?”

Marshall didn’t feel weird at all, “Is it big? Well, I meant to make it bigger, but the designer that it may look odd.”

Katherine rolled her eyes at Marshall.

Marshall thought for a minute and continued the subject earlier, “You will meet Hector when he comes back, right?”

Katherine immediately looked serious and let out a long breath, “Yeah, of course we got to meet?”

How could they not meet? After all, they were pretty good friends before.

Marshall nodded, “I will go with you if you need to see him. I don’t want you to go out alone under the current situation.”

Katherine nodded and agreed what Marshall said.

While they were strolling around the neighborhood, Marshall’s phone started ringing.

One of his minions called and said he had looked into that Mario guy and found that this man was quite a swindler and had many criminal records, but now that he was working as sort of a middle man. In

other words, he would mainly hire some people to do something shady for the employers and got some commission.

He was really good at hiding around and was currently residing in a temple halfway up a mountain.

Marshall sneered when he heard all the information, “Well, he is sure shrewd. Find an opportunity and catch him.”

Receiving Marshall’s order, the minion answered okay.

Marshall then just hung up the phone and tightened his grip on Katherine’s hand, “Let’s walk around the park.”

Lips pursed, Katherine wanted to ask if there was any update on the accident but then just dropped the thought as it was useless even if she asked.

She wouldn’t able to help even if she got all the details, so she might leave it to Marshall.

After Katherine and Marshall left, Frances and Khalid were at home alone. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Khalid asked Frances if she was feeling all right recently and it took the latter a few seconds to reply that she was okay.

She was exactly a good liar and can easily be figured out, so she tried hard not to show any traces.

After checking the time, she meant to tell Khalid to go home early as it was not safe to drive at night, but she failed to say all these words as she really wanted to patch things up with Khalid.

She was really being selfish before and was always complaining when she was with Khalid.

She was either bad mouthing Katherine or saying that other family members were having bad attitudes towards her.

Overall, she was criticizing everything around her.

Khalid would sometimes console her, but sometimes he would be really tired from work and would say nothing.

Now that she was recalling what they exactly did when they were alone, she could not recollect a single thing apart from all of her complaints.

After contemplating for a moment, Frances asked Khalid how was his work today.

She never cared about this sort of thing before. Now that she was taking interest in these sort of things, Khalid just told her.

There were a lot of troublesome matters at work, but Khalid didn’t utter all of them and picked a few simple ones.

Frances drooped her eyes and listened carefully, “I really didn’t know that you have to deal with all these complicated things before.”

Khalid smiled, “I’ve got used to them.”

Frances replied in a minute, “I’m sorry about what happened before. I was always a pain in the ass to you.”

Khalid gazed at Frances who was also dressing differently than before. She always preferred splendid and elegant dresses before, but now, she looked quite uptight.

However, she looked younger than before in her casual home dress and with her hair loosely braided together.

Khalid mused for a long time and answered, “It’s not all your fault. I got my own problems.”

It took two to fail a marriage.

Frances didn’t know how to respond to Khalid’s words.

Well, the only fault of Khalid was that she spoiled her too much which made her foolishly believe that the life ought to be this way.

Darcie had already gone out to give them a space.

Frances wouldn’t help blurting out, “Cora was looking for you yesterday, right? We can all tell.”

Khalid went awkward, “She probably had something to talk to you. There is really nothing between us.”

Putting her hands on her laps, Frances rubbed her legs subconsciously, “Well, it’s perfectly normal even if you have something with her.”

Khalid paused and didn’t say anything.

Did he still have feelings for Frances? Well, Khalid really didn’t know the answer to this question.

His feelings for her had already been distorted all these years.

That uncontrollable feeling or tiredness would instantly resurface every time he thought about the life before.

He was actually feeling liberating when he first got divorced and was excited that he finally got out of that suffocating marriage.

But every coin had two sides. He started feeling weird after experiencing the preliminary relaxation. He would feel void when he wasn’t hearing all those naggings when he got home.

Khalid didn’t know what went wrong with him.

Then the silence just ensued and they both got a bit awkward.

Khalid couldn’t stand the atmosphere and just stood up, “It’s getting late. I will head home now. You’re not feeling well now. Go to bed early.”

Frances replied sure and went to see Khalid out.

Katherine and Marshall were just walking nearby and seeing that Khalid’s car was driving away, she said, “I really don’t know what your dad is thinking about. I felt that he still has feelings for your mom, but now that he isn’t even cherish this opportunity to be alone with her. I really start to question my judgement.”

Marshall nodded, “Well, it’s pretty rare that you would question your own judgement. I thought that you would never doubt your belief.”

Katherine nodded, “I’m pretty firm on not getting remarried with you. Other things can be swayed easily.”

Marshall instantly got speechless.

Now that Khalid had left, the pair just went home.

Frances was still standing in the yard, “Are you two going to stay outside overnight if he doesn’t leave?”

Katherine beamed, “I would really sleep outside if he stays here tonight.”

Frances couldn’t help rolling her eyes at Katherine.

Katherine ginned and went to hold Frances’ arms, “You obviously don’t want him to leave. Why don’t you tell him and ask him to stay? You must have said something against your heart.”

Looking at Frances and Katherine back, Marshall suddenly smiled.

He couldn’t help imaging what a great life he would be leading if Katherine and Frances were getting along this well with each other in the first place.
