Katherine waited for a long time and didn’t hear there was any noise outside.
The wall was really sound-proof.
She was too sleepy to wait any more. Therefore, she turned around and closed her eyes. This time she
fell asleep quickly until the next morning.
The next day. She woke up and the first she did was to check outside the window.
Marshall’s car was still in the yard, proving that he hadn’t left yet.
Katherine groaned, washed and got downstairs.
At first, she wanted to boil some noodles. However, she then reminded of those dishes last night. It was
a great waste if she left them in the fridge.
Hence, she went to open the fridge and found there was something more.
It was wrapped in a plastic bag and looked like a fast-food box.
She opened it and found what she thought was true. It was bones soup cooked in the tube.
She frowned and checked it. Did Marshall bring this for her last night? For her?
Well, he really became caring now, which surprised her.
However, she then put things back in the fridge. She warmed the dishes she cooked yesterday and ate
them in the kitchen.
Marshall went downstairs after a while.
Finding Katherine was sitting in the kitchen, he waited for a while and went towards him, “You slept
really early last night.”
Katherine looked up at him and said calmly, “Well, I have seen your text. I slept really early last night
and didn’t see it. Is anything wrong?”
Marshall sat down and said, “Nothing.”
Katherine stopped asking. She also cooked some for Marshall.
However, Marshall didn’t seem to have a good appetite.
Katherine found Marshall was sitting on the other side and asked, “Don’t you have to go to the
company today?”
Marshall shook his head and said, “It’s Saturday. Day off.”
Katherine pretended a smile, saying, “Well, you used to work extra time on Saturday and Sunday.”
Marshall was startled and looked at her.
However, Katherine didn’t pay attention to him, which made him wonder what she meant by saying
such words.
Katherine finished breakfast quickly and Marshall finally said something when she was putting away
dishes, “Nice ring.”
Katherine stopped for a second. She looked down on the ring and said, “Hector chose it.”
Marshall blinked his eyes and asked, “Did he give it to you?”
Katherine nodded.
The ring was indeed from Hector, although she didn’t want it.
Marshall curled up his lip and replied, “I see.”
Katherine didn’t have time to guess what Marshall was thinking. She tidied up the table and then went
upstairs. She went back to her room, made up herself, changed new clothes and went downstairs.
Marshall didn’t have breakfast and was watching TV on the sofa.
Seeing Katherine came downstairs, he asked, “Are you going to hang around with Hector?”
Katherine didn’t know what she was thinking at that time and nodded again.
Actually, she only wanted to spend time on her own.
Marshall didn’t say anything and she went outside.
She was still wondering where she should go when she was calling the taxi.
She didn’t have any family or friend. When she wanted someone to accompany her, she couldn’t find
anyone.
She was depressed when thinking of this.
She got on the taxi and randomly said a mall’s name.
It was crowded place and might make her feel better.
Today was weekend and there were lots of cars and people on the road.
Katherine leaned against the car and looked outside. Those people didn’t seem to be wealthier than
her, but they all had a good life.
The mall was not far from her house and she arrived in a short time.
There was a plaza in front of the mall and many parents were playing with their children.
Katherine paid the bill and stood on the plaza, feeling empty when watching people go and by. She
went to the bench beside her and sat on it.
Today was not very hot with comfortable breeze. It was relaxing to sit here for a while.
Katherine leaned on the bench, watching children not far away from her.
He was a small kid and was not able to walk by himself. However, he was so energetic that wanted to
run by himself when waving his hands.
His mother was protecting her from behind and his father was watching him.
A family.
They looked really happy. In the past days, she wanted to carry Marshall’s child.
