CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 250 Have You Ever Regretted?

Lucas figured out what Marshall wanted to ask was: Have you ever regretted?

Did he regret it? Well, he couldn’t tell.

At first, when old Mr. Grant wanted Katherine to be their family member, he wanted her to marry Lucas.

After all, Marshall had an engagement and Lucas seemed to be the best choice.

However, younger Mr. Grant and his wife didn’t agree with their arrangement.

There were lots of reasons for their rejection and Katherine’s background seemed to be the main reason.

Lucas hadn’t seen Katherine at that time and only knew her name from old Mr. Grant.

All he knew was that she was a country girl who had no parents and grew up with her grandfather.

She was not well-educated, and naturally, her temperament couldn’t compare with those ladies.

Maybe her only advantage was her beauty because old Mr. Grant had stressed several times that she was a good-looking girl. However, girls couldn’t survive on their appearance.

Younger Mrs. Grant had discussed with him that if he really married such a girl, it was hard for him to voice in the Grant family.

With Marshall had the Henderson family to support him, it was not a good deal for him to marry Katherine, who didn’t have fortune nor fame.

If old Mr. Grant was in a good health, Lucas would rely on him because of his guilty towards himself.

However, at that time, old Mr. Grant was in bed and the doctor also said he could possibly pass away in a few months.

Hence, younger Mrs. Grant didn’t want Katherine to be her daughter-in-law.

Lucas was always a person who respected his parents’ opinion. After having discussed with his mother, he went to find his grandfather and told him he was unwilling to marry Katherine.

He didn’t even make too much explanation and all he said was that he didn’t want to.

Maybe old Mr. Grant was disappointed at that time, but he didn’t blame him. He simply smiled and said that he understood how Lucas felt.

Afterwards, Lucas didn’t know what was going on with his brother and he only knew that Marshall broke off the engagement after a few days.

A few days later, the Grant family was starting to prepare Marshall and Katherine’s wedding.

It was a really a great ceremony with many families invited, no matter whether they had business exchanges with the Grant family or not.

Lucas met Katherine for the first time on her wedding day.

She was indeed a very pretty girl.

However, it was not enough for him to regret because he had seen many beauties.

Right now, with Marshall’s hinting question about whether he regretted or not, Lucas was hesitated for a while.

Katherine was standing beside younger Mr. Grant and her eyes laid on the birthday cake. Her smiling face was so attractive.

Lucas hurriedly looked at somewhere else and started at the dish in front of him.

Younger Mr. Grant cut the birthday cake, put it in a plate and handed it to Katherine, while she turned around and gave it to old Mrs. Grant, “Here it is, grandma.”

Old Mrs. Grant smiled and replied, “Oh, that’s very kind of you, Kathy.”

Katherine really behaved properly today, which made all of her uncles and aunts look at her happily.

Katherine handed the second birthday cake to Clara and her explanation was that the guests should be served first.

Katherine showed an innocent smile and handed the plate on Clara’s hands, saying, “You can come to visit my mom if you have spare time. She really likes you.”

What she said was like a clap that hit on both Mrs. Grant and Clara.

Marshall even wanted to applaud for her perfect acting skill.

If he didn’t know Katherine was good at flattering others, he almost believe that Katherine didn’t know what was the relation between him and Clara.

Clara showed an unnatural smile and thanked her.

Pieces of birthday cakes were handed to others and the atmosphere in the kitchen was good.

At first, people were here because of old Mrs. Grant’s invitation, however, now they were all enjoying this party.

When they were eating, old Mrs. Grant also mentioned about the company’s cooperation with the Henderson family.

She was really a wise woman by treating them as a business partner, but not a friend.

Clara also noticed what she meant and decided to remain silent.

She finally figured out she shouldn’t come here today to irrigate herself.

After talking beside the table for a while, old Mrs. Grant stood up and said, “Sorry, everybody. I got up really early today. I have to take a rest upstairs. Don’t worry about me. You can go on.”

After saying this, she glanced at Katherine and said, “Kathy, can you bring me upstairs?”

“Okay.” Katherine agreed immediately.

She also turned around and said to Marshall in a naughty manner, “I have to go upstairs with grandma. Don’t come to find us. This is the conversation between girls.”

Old Mrs. Grant laughed out loudly and said, “Well, how can I be counted as a girl.”

Katherine smiled and replied, “You are always a girl in my eyes.”

She was really good at pleasing others without making people feel weird and unnatural.

She held old Mrs. Grant’s arm and led her upstairs.

After they got in the room, she closed the door and looked at old Mrs. Grant. Suddenly, her naughty expression was completely gone. She asked, “Grandmother, do you want to say something to me.”

Old Mrs. Grant sat on the bed, took a deep breath, and nodded, “I have to thank you for today.”

Well, she didn’t have to thank her. Katherine had to charge money for acting with Marshall. She wouldn’t perform for free.

Old Mrs. Grant looked at her and said, “You are really a good girl. I am sorry about your grievance in our family.”

Katherine smiled and sat on the chair beside her, replying, “No, I am not. Marshall gave me a great deal of money when we got divorced. What I have suffered worth the price.”

Almost a year’s obedience finally turned to her whole life’s material abundance. It was a great deal.

Old Mrs. Grant thought for a while and opened the drawer of her nightstand.

She took a jewel box from it and said, “This is my gift for you. You have married to our family for a year and I haven’t given you anything. You can regard this as my compensation.”

Katherine hurriedly waved her hands before seeing what was inside and replied, “There’s no need to. Marshall has already offered a lot. Although I came from a poor family and couldn’t compare with you, I am not that greedy. If you are afraid that I will destroy Marshall’s reputation in front of others, don’t worry, I will never to such things. I will do what I have promised.”

Old Mrs. Grant smiled and said, “I didn’t mean it. I don’t want you to keep the secret. I just sincerely feel sorry about you. Marshall’s grandfather really liked you and I should have treated you well in the past days, however, I used to be so mean to you. I am regretted every time I think of that. If I defended you before, maybe you won’t be humiliated by Marshall’s mother.”

Katherine smiled and said, “It has nothing to do with you. The reason why I was humiliated was related with Marshall. If he didn’t remain silent and stood on my side, we won’t end up divorcing.”

Old Mrs. Grant knew what Katherine said was true.

Marshall was not good-tempered and he would suffer losses in the future in terms of relationship.

People downstairs all left the kitchen and several of them were discussing about business in the living room.

Marshall didn’t want to join them because he had spent a long time in the company everyday and today was supposed to be his day off.

He wanted to have a rest. Therefore, he turned around and went to stand in the open space outside the main building.

Seeing him go out, Clara hurriedly followed behind.

She stood beside Marshall and said, “Smoking is not good for your health.”

Marshall turned to look at her and still lit a cigarette, saying, “You must be uneasy just now.”

Clara compressed her lips and answered, “Yes, a little bit.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Then she blinked her eyes and looked up at him, saying, “Marshall, I always have a question and want to ask you.”

Marshall nodded and said, “What question?”

Clara took a deep breath and said, “Well, when you were breaking off the engagement with me, did you ever feel, well, did you ever regret?”
