CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 13 Hooking up with Others

Hearing that, Marshall looked back at Katherine.

He was wearing a technicolor Hawaiian shirt today, with an open at the neck, which showed his collarbone. And his hairstyle was casual which was quite different with the one at work. Usually, he would look like an ascetic. But today he looked quite easy-going.

Katherine noticed Marshall was gazing at her. But she was still looking at the stage without even glancing at him.

Marshall’s eyes rested on her for a few seconds, then he turned back and continued to looked at the stage.

Women…they always have an inexplicable hostility towards their own kinds.

The woman next to him also had a look at Katherine. But she clearly let her guard down after she heard Katherine was someone else’s girlfriend.

Peter was dumbfounded when he heard that. He grimaced at Katherine, but Katherine ignored him.

In fact, Katherine could not even calm down to see what was happening on the stage. She was distraught when Marshall had come over.

She finished her glass and wanted to pour herself another glass of wine. But the wine was at Marshall’s side. When she stood up to reach the bottle, Marshall clearly had a glance at the bottle.

But he did not do anything.

The woman at his side looked at the stage for a while and got closer to Marshall, whispering to him.

He leaned towards her slightly, with his eyes still fixed on the stage.

The woman said something and began to chuckle with her hand covering her mouth.

Then Marshall’s lips also curved into a faint smile.

Katherine tried to fix her eyes on the stage instead of on those two.

But still she felt uncomfortable as those two mingles.

Although it was much easier to play a stranger, but she was still uncomfortable with that.

After a while, Katherine stopped looking.

She turned around to look at the sea not far from her.

The sound of the waves was louder at night. But she had never had rest on a beach and admired the sea. Thanks to Marshall, she could finally afford to come to the beach after divorcing him.

The party got livelier. And the waiters began to serve each table with the roast meat. Some could have a barbecue around the bonfire if they were interested. And some were dancing and singing around the fire if moved by the spirit.

The man edged closer to Katherine, “Do you want to go for barbecue? It must be very satisfying if you do it all by yourself.”

Katherine glanced at him, “I’m lazy, so I prefer ready-made labor results.”

Marshall suddenly scoffed at her from the side. Drowned by the sound of the waves, his voice was not so loud to be heard clearly. But Katherine heard that, and she was stung by his sneer.

She thought of something else.

Marshall had sneered at her in the bed, too. He said she was too lazy to make any moves when they had sex. Of course, he would only say that after he attended the dinner and drank alcohol.

Katherine closed her eyes. It was useless to recall the old days.

Katherine stood up. “Maybe we should go and check it out.”

The man smiled instantly and got up as well. “OK, let’s go.” Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Perhaps he thought Peter was hitting on her, so he really wanted Katherine to stay away from them.

Katherine and the man went to the bonfire.

The hotel staff came to help them and gave them the meat kabobs.

Katherine did not take it. “I just want to have a look.”

But the man took the meat. “I’ll cook them for you.”

Katherine turned and looked at him. “What’s your name?”

He laughed, “Louie, I’m Louie Duncan. And I hope you won’t be offended by my words just now.

Katherine knew he was talking about that he was claiming to be her boyfriend.

She shook her head. “Never mind.” She knew Peter and Marshall would not buy it anyway.

Sitting at the table, Peter kept looking at Katherine and Louie.

After a few seconds, he leaned toward Marshall, “Boss, look, your wife…”

Marshall shot him a look impassively, then Peter changed his words, saying angrily, “… look, Katherine is hooking up with others.”
