After Mr. Haverford said that, not only were elder Mr. and Mrs. Henderson dumbfounded, but also
Katherine and Marshall were also surprised for a moment.
They were currently not considering having children.
Katherine used to think about having a child with Marshall very much.
Now they were just thankful that they didn’t have kids.
Otherwise, life would really be a mess.
Katherine laughed first, “We are not in a big hurry to have children. Marshall and I have only been
married for more than a year, and he is always so busy. In fact, we’re not tired of each other, I still want
to spend more time with him, and then consider the matter of having children.”
Marshall squeezed Katherine's hand and touched the ring on his finger again.
He echoed Katherine's words, “She’s right, it’s not in our plan for the time being. It is best for us to
spend more time together.”
Mr. Haverford nodded, “And you're right. With children, the couple will not have so many opportunities
to spend time alone.”
Marshall and Katherine just laughed and said no more.
Marshall left with Katherine, so Kyle followed.
The three said goodbye to the people inside at the door.
Two people left all of a sudden, they all knew that the dinner was almost over.
Katherine felt relieved and was held by Marshall all the way to the entrance of the hotel.
Kyle did not drink, swaggering out with them, “Okay, you guys go back, I'm going back to my clubhouse
too.”
Katherine had some words of advice for Kyle, but with Marshall there, those words were not easy to
say.
Yet Marshall turned his head to look at Kyle and asked directly, “How did you guys get together with the
Henderson family?”
Kyle asked, “I can't figure it out either. I noticed that just now at the dinner table, Mr. Henderson has
been talking to my sister about business matters. Could it be that he wants to do business with our
family?”
Marshall pursed his lips and thought for a while, but he couldn't get his head around it, so he had to say
goodbye to Kyle and take Katherine to the car.
This dress on Katherine was really quite uncomfortable.
She got in and sat in the back, pulled up her skirt a bit, and sat cross-legged.
Marshall looked at her, took his jacket off, and covered her legs.
Katherine turned her head to look at Marshall and felt that today he was not quite right.
Usually, he was very reserved, but today in that private room, he actually took the initiative to pull her
hand, showing intimacy.
This man definitely was drinking too much, wasn’t he?
Marshall did get a little dizzy and kept leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed.
When they arrived at the place, the driver stopped the car and Katherine was the first one to open the
door and get out.
The door on her side slammed shut before Marshall slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were a little scarlet, but he was awake and spry.
Apparently, he didn't sleep the whole way.
Katherine stomped upstairs and hurried to change her clothes.
When she went to the bathroom to wash her face, Marshall came over.
He didn't come in, but stood in the doorway, leaning against the door frame, and said with a loud voice,
“What should we send to my second uncle for his birthday?”
Here it was again.
Katherine stopped, stared at herself in the mirror, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
The last time she accompanied Lucas to pick a birthday gift, her head was almost going bald.
Now she needed to accompany Marshall to do it all over again.
For goodness sake, she refused.
Marshall saw that she did not answer and then said, “I have absolutely no clue, and I think you girls
should have more ideas about this kind of stuff. Can you help me think about it?”
Katherine smacked her lips, “Why don't you also buy a pair of cufflinks to Mr. Carson? He always
changes that stuff, and you can also change that with Lucas, isn’t it good?”
Marshall snickered, “When you accompanied Lucas, you must have chosen the gifts carefully. Why so
perfunctory to me here?”
“You two are different,” Katherine said bluntly.
Standing over by the doorway, he was momentarily silent.
Katherine paused and was going to explain what she meant by that statement.
She was trying to say that she was not familiar with Lucas, so she naturally was polite to him, but to
Marshall, a man who she had slept with so many times, she certainly did not always have to be polite.
But when Katherine walked to the bathroom door and looked towards the room door, Marshall had
already turned around and walked away.
She can't believe the damn man turned around and walked away when he heard that.
Katherine stood in place for a while before going into the bathroom to quickly wash her face and came
out to look at the window.
Looking down from this side, she could see the living room window.
Now it's dark over there, so it's clear that Marshall didn't come downstairs.
Then he must go back to his own room.
Katherine closed the window and pulled the curtains, then went back to lie in bed.
Marshall went back to his room, took his pajamas, and went into the bathroom.
The bathroom in this room didn't have a bathtub, so he had to take a quick shower and got out.
Originally he drank a lot, quite on the head. After the shower, however, the smell of alcohol was gone
from his body, along with the sleepiness.
Marshall took the cigarette case and went to the window. The pack of cigarettes was new, and he
picked up the open strip on top of the packaging film.
He didn’t know how his fingers keep slipping and can't open it anyway.
He stopped with a poker face, then clutched the cigarette case hard in his hand.
His brow slowly knitted up, and it was clear that there was some confusion and more discomfort in his
eyes.
He then smashed the cigarette case on the ground, a fire in his heart rose inexplicably.
Marshall stood in place and took a few deep breaths, reached out and brushed up the curtains, and
turned back to the bed.
The whole time, all his movements were tinged with anger.
Finally, he turned off the lights, closed his eyes, and force himself to think of nothing else.
With the residual alcohol, the sleepiness slowly got over him.
Just before Marshall was asleep, what Peter said when Peter came over to him at noon came to his
mind.
Peter said Katherine and Lucas were together and behaved particularly intimately. They seemed to
have a very good relationship.
Marshall wasn’t very clear if there’s an exaggeration of those words.
But what made him very upset was that Lucas refused Katherine at first, and now Lucas came to play
such a trick. He didn’t know what Lucas and his parents were thinking.
It was a long time before he slowly fell asleep.
Under the effect of alcohol, he did not dream and slept until dawn.
His biological clock was very punctual and he woke up at about the same time every morning.
Marshall washed up and went downstairs, but when he reached the stairs, he heard some noise over
the kitchen.
Katherine hummed a song while cooking, and seemed to be in a really good mood.
She hadn't been this happy before, and with him, she didn’t have many happy hours.
His mother used to love to pick fights and his sit-by always made things more difficult for her.
No wonder she said he was different from Lucas.
Marshall stood for a while and slowly walked downstairs.
Katherine saw him, “Go to the restaurant, breakfast is ready soon.”
Marshall did not say anything, only cooperated and turned to the dining room, and sat down.
He took his phone out and looked at his schedule for the day.
It’s pretty full. Except for the noon break, he shouldn't have much time left.
Katherine came over with breakfast, and it’s Chinese style.
Marshall actually did not like Chinese breakfast, he thought it was tedious.
However, Katherine did not care about what he thought and only chose what she liked to do.
Marshall just enjoyed the breakfast and didn’t say anything.
It's just that when Katherine handed over the porridge, he sighed, “I am still very busy today, and
should be back late at night. Do not wait for me.”
Katherine said, “OK, I got it.”
Marshall had always been busy, he actually did not need to tell her specifically.
Strictly speaking, it had nothing to do with her whether he was busy or not.
And she was not idle, Kyle sent a message to her early in the morning.
He asked her to go over to the clubhouse to play.
Katherine really quite wanted to go play. She’s single now, easy and free, naturally, she should... have
fun.
The two finished their breakfasts in silence, and Marshall got dressed a little and was about to go.
He looked at Katherine before leaving, “Please help me choose my second uncle's birthday gift, I'll give
you a tip.”
Katherine froze, then sneered, “Fair enough.”
