CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 467 You Just Accept It

Cora stared at Frances for some time. After that, she nodded with a seemingly frustration. "I know. But if you don't have the affections towards Khalid as before, I sincerely hope you can avoid visiting him so much, because you know..."

"I have," Frances interrupted the conversation.

Looking at Cora who was in a trance, Frances took a deep breath and said frankly, "I still love Khalid, even deeper than before. Our divorce was due to my fault indeed, but it was against my will. If it is possible, I still want to be with him."

It seemed Cora got speechless all at once.

Frances sat upright, "I can understand what you have said today. How can I say? We both have our own strengths. Let's see who will win. In the past, I could have an advantage over you with my authority. Now it was gone. I can only say I will make every effort. Don't worry, it is a fair competition. I will bless you whether you win or not."

Hearing that, Cora had nothing to say.

Frances checked the time, "It is a bit late now. I must go home. Otherwise Marshall and Katherine will get worried."

She picked up her cellphone, stood up, and nodded to Cora. She squared up and left holding her head high.

The cafe was not far away from her home. Frances walked slowly while her heart sank bit by bit.

Though she looked calm outwardly, she was overwhelmed inwardly.

Coming here personally proved that Cora was determined. Compared with Cora, Frances was unsure as to what the next actions should be.

Frances arrived home and she met Katherine and Marshall in the yard.

Katherine and Marshall were watching TV. Katherine was so convulsed with laughter that she laughed even louder than the TV.

Marshall looking at Katherine by her side, smiling.

Frances stopped and watched them.

If she treated Katherine well previously, Katherine and Marshall would maintain a good relationship like what she saw. Besides, Khalid and she would not get divorced.

Not to mention to lead to the current situation that someone wanted to compete with her.

Frances waited for a while before she went to the living room. She looked at the two on the couch and said, “Oh, you two did not go upstairs to sleep at this hour of the night.”

Seeing Frances coming back, Katherine turned around quickly to greet her. “You were later than we expected. We just want to go out to find you.”

Frances moved her shoulder, “I just walked around. The surroundings were lively in the evening.”

Hearing this, Katherine looked outside, but absolutely she could not catch a sight of the scene.

“Yep,” she stood up, “I’d rather not to join the crowds. I will keep staying at home.”

Followed her, Marshall stood up too, “After we solved the problem, you can go out.”

Actually Katherine was not interested in anything outside.

She felt too exhausted to explore anything with strong interest.

Marshall patted Katherine on her shoulder, “Let’s go upstairs to sleep. It’s rather late now.”

Before her leave, Katherine said to Frances, “Please go to bed early. Take care and don’t think too seriously.”

Frances replied smiling, “Yes, I know, thank you. You go to sleep.”

Katherine went upstairs, singing.

Then Frances sat down on the couch downstairs.

Katherine really looked like a mother-to-be when she advised Frances seriously.

Frances thought that Katherine is so kind with a pleasant personality much better than she expected.

She is frank, kind-hearted and sensible.

Frances leaned back in the chair and exhaled.

When Katherine woke up the next day, Marshall already went out for a long time.

She was a little bit lazy to move out from her bed.

However, before long she heard a loud noise downstairs. It seemed quite a few people came there.

Katherine rushed got up and looked from her window. She saw two cars parked at the gate of the yard.

There were several people standing in the yard.

”Ah,” she exclaimed, and hurried up to wash up.

Did the guy, Ralph Walters, have told Maddie Nicholson the news?

Then she thought it was impossible. Ralph Walters is not a talkative person.

After Katherine freshened up and went out hurriedly, Frances went upstairs.

When she came in, Frances lowered her voice, “Hasten, Kathy, Maddie Nicholson and her families came here. Go downstairs and have a look.”

Katherine changed her clothes. When she put on her dress, she said in a hurry, “Are they come here because they knew I got pregnant?”

Frances nodded, “Of course they knew. As you can see, they brought lots of foods and supplements. They said these are good for your health.

Katherine grinned, “I must confess I am afraid of such situation. I cannot handle it.”

Frances leaned against the cabinet nearby, looking at Katherine, “Yeah, you can’t do anything about it. They all come here because of you. Just accept it.”

Katherine glanced at Frances from the corner of her eye, “Why it sounds like you enjoy the misfortunes of me?”

”Yes,” Frances replied, “It’s not just sounds like. I am happy indeed. You are like Athena every day. I am wondering how you look like when you facing with troubles that you cannot cope with.”

Katherine grinned, “Just wait and see.”

After she dressed up, Katherine hurriedly went downstairs.

Not only Mrs. Maddie Nicholson Walters came. Maria Davies Grant and daughters of the Walters family also came to visit.

Grandma Grant also came.

It was very lively in the living room.

Katherine stood on the entrance of the second floor. When she saw the scene, she got a buzz in her head.

Frances, who standing beside her, patted her on the shoulder, “Katherine the Athena, come here, go to visit them.”

Katherine went downstairs slowly, “Good morning, Mrs. Maddie Nicholson Walters.”

Mrs. Maddie Nicholson Walters looked at Katherine, said with eager concern, “Take care. Be slow to come downstairs. Take your time.”

Katherine was not looks like a pregnant woman now. Actually her daily actions were not affected by her pregnant.

Katherine felt a little embarrassed for Mrs. Maddie Nicholson Walters’s care.

She went and greeted Maria Davies Grant. From NôvelDrama.Org.

Maria Davies Grant looked at Katherine’s belly, “Dear Kathy, why don’t you inform us such good news?”

Katherine smiled, “The baby is still small. I plan to tell you when the baby grows stronger after a time.”

Maddie Nicholson stretched out her hand over. Katherine went to her side immediately.

Maddie Nicholson said sincerely, “I have asked the professional to do Tarot cards reading. The soothsayer said you can bring good fortune. Your baby will bring felicity as well.”

Katherine smiled and did not know how to give a reply.

Maybe these words were spoken just to soothe her. Katherine felt most people don’t believe that.

”Yes, the words of the professional won’t be wrong,” Grandma Grant agreed.

Katherine replied with smiles again.

Leaving her cellphone on the coffee table by the side, Katherine had sitting on the couch to have a civilized conversation with these people she was not very familiar with.

Soon later Katherine’s cellphone vibrated on the coffee table.

The sound of her cellphone was loud.

Katherine picked up her cellphone and checked it. An assortment of emotions altered on her face.

She hung up the phone directly.

The two Grandma Grant beside her was mentioning the dos and don’ts during pregnancy. They were stunned at Katherine’s action.

Grandma Grant said, “Kathy, who was calling? Why you didn’t answer the phone?”

Katherine put the cellphone in her pocket, smiling, “It was a crank call.”

Grandma Grant nodded, and not took it seriously.

However, before long the cellphone vibrated again.

Katherine compressed her lips and looked not very happy.

She stood up, “Y’all just talk amongst yourselves. I shall go out to answer the phone.”
