CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 231 I Just Can’t Help It

For somehow, Katherine started to like Rosalie.

Rosalie was a girl, who looked indifferent, but quite humorous in fact.

Yet on the other side, Mr. and Mrs. Henderson looked unpleasant.

Mr. Henderson took a sip of tea and his expression started to become serious.

The Henderson family and the Haverford family did not have any business dealings, nor interest conflicts.

The reason they came today was actually to take the initiative, to prevent things from getting out of control.

It turned out that they were a step behind again.

Mr. Henderson looked at Kyle and wondered how this cynical young master could be so defensive of Katherine, a woman with poor family and education background, and bad manners.

It simply made them piss off.

Mr. Haverford was getting old, so he liked spoiling his son and almost had never refused him anything.

He looked at Kyle, and then at Katherine, feeling satisfied.

Mr. Haverford could think of only two or three names of Kyle’s friends. Katherine was the first one that Kyle brought to such a private dinner party.

Mr. Haverford was very clear about what was his son like.

Now that there was finally someone who was willing to be friends with his son, he was also happy about it.

He looked at Katherine, “You're the daughter-in-law of the Grant family?”

He did not read gossip news for many years and left his company to his four daughters. He was completely retired.

Katherine answered with a smile, “Yes, my husband is Marshall Grant, he’s now in the family's company.”

“Oh, I knew him, he’s a good lad and has a good relationship with my Kyle.” Mr. Haverford smiled as well.

Kyle hurriedly spoke, “The other day I also went to their home and Kathy made dinner for me. It was quite delicious.”

Rosalie spoke coldly from the side, “Not bad, finally, someone is willing to invite you as their guest.”

Kyle was obviously a little afraid of his elder sister. So he only hissed but did not dare to retort.

Mr. Haverford kept nodding, “I like this little girl as soon as I see her, and she seems to be a good fit for Marshall. How about coming to my house together as guests?”

“Sounds great.” Katherine's eyes curled up in laughter.

Elder Mrs. Henderson pursed her lips over there and stared at Katherine.

Katherine was always a step ahead of Henderson’s. For sake of Kyle, the Haverford family obviously had a good impression of her.

After this, things were really getting a lot harder.

Mr. Haverford hurriedly greeted elder Mr. and Mrs. Henderson after finishing speaking with Kathrine, “Kyle, Katherine, let me introduce elder Mr. and Mrs....”

“I know, we met two days ago, didn’t we?” Kyle said bluntly, “We met at a dinner party, I know them both.”

Mr. Haverford didn't feel that his son’s attitude was wrong at all, he was just a little surprised, “You've all met, that’s good.”

Kyle snorted, in an ambiguous way.

It made elder Mr. and Mrs. Henderson frown directly.

Although Mr. Henderson did not like Kyle, they didn’t have any social intercourse.

The two had no communication and no conflicts.

But Kyle obviously had a somewhat less friendly attitude towards the Henderson family.

Mr. Henderson dropped his eyes on Katherine, “Miss Katherine came with Mr. Kyle alone, so where is Marshall? Why did not he come together?”

Katherine knew what Mr. Henderson meant. She was a married woman after all, and it was always inappropriate to follow another man but not her husband to attend a dinner party.

Katherine maintained the smile on her face, like a real celebrity lady.

She responded, “My husband has a business party tonight, so I did not want to come over in the first place. I just thought that this may be private and not quite suitable for me, but Kyle insisted that I come along to join you guys. He said it’s not a formal dinner, but very casual.”

The way Katherine called Kyle made Rosalie dumbfounded.

She took a look at her younger brother and found him smiling at Katherine.

She then turned to look at Katherine, whose expression was neither humble nor pushy, looking quite calm.

Rosalie gently breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the devil in her family finally met his nemesis.

Mr. Henderson put on an ambiguous smile and didn’t speak again.

Rosalie then said, “This is really not a formal dinner. It's good that you're here, the more people, the better.”

What Rosalie said made elder Mr. and Mrs. Henderson even more unpleasant.

The Haverford family was not taking them seriously at all. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

But Katherine smiled and said thank you.

When all the people were there, the waiter came over with the menu and they started to order.

Kyle, afraid of neglecting Katherine, took the menu and introduced the dishes to her.

Katherine just casually ordered two dishes.

After the order was finished, Rosalie looked at Mr. Henderson and said, “I heard that the Henderson family has recently entered into a partnership with the Grant family, and I haven't congratulated Mr. Henderson yet.”

Mr. Henderson laughed and said, “This cooperation is a win-win situation. Now the market is not doing well, I always have to find a partner who’s on the same level as me to join forces with the maintenance of my own position.”

There was a deeper meaning to this statement.

Rosalie smiled and nodded, not knowing if she agreed with him.

Kyle didn’t understand those stuff, so he turned to Katherine to chat.

He lowered his voice and asked Katherine if Marshall was really having a business party tonight.

This was something Katherine also did not know. Marshall told her that there was a business party, but who knew if he took the time to go out and do something else.

Kyle took the phone out and put it under the table, “How about I send a message to ask him?”

Katherine had no problem with that, shrugging her shoulders.

Kyle smiled cheekily and sent a message to Marshall under the table, then he added, “What have you been up to today? In fact, when I was bored at noon, I wanted to go to find you.”

Katherine placed one hand on the table to support the chin, the body slightly inclined to the direction of Kyle, with a little smile in his eyes, “I don't have time for you, I went to my shop at noon and planned to get it renovated.”

“So soon.” Kyle immediately added, “Is there anything I can help you with? Just come to me if there’s anything you do not know, I can fix it all.”

Katherine laughed out loud. Kyle didn’t actually look like what the rumor said.

He's quite a simple guy.

Katherine said softly, “No, I just need to talk to Marshall if I need anything. You are my ace and I don't want to use you lightly.”

This was obviously a joke, but Kyle was really happy to hear that, “Really? Good, since you said so, you just need to call me if you need anything, I promise to do my best.”

Katherine stared at Kyle for a while and curled the corners of her mouth, “Deal, don't you forget it!”

Kyle suddenly changed the subject, “Kathy, honestly, don’t you have any sisters that you can introduce to me?”

The smile on Katherine's face instantly withdrew, she was somewhat speechless, “I just thought you a real man. Look at you, you can not even last a minute.”

Kyle grinned, “That’s what I have in mind, I just can’t help it.”

Mr. Haverford next to Kyle withdrew his eyes.

It was the first time he had seen his precious son behave so well in front of others.
