Katherine didn’t text Marshall in the end because she didn’t know what price she should tell him.
She would be guilty if Marshall really paid her the money.
Besides, she didn’t pay for the gift. If she received Marshall’s money, it meant that she sold Kyle’s
belong, which was mean and despicable.
Katherine put down the phone and went to the study. The coach in the driving school just contacted
her, asking when she was going to sign up for the first exam.
She decided to finish the exam as quick as she could because she didn’t want to waste too much time.
The staff told her they would arrange it for her and would inform her when the time was set.
Katherine wanted to get the driver’s license as soon as possible. Although she was not lack of money
for calling taxis, she always felt something was missing.
Therefore, she spent a whole afternoon reading textbooks in the study.
The sky gradually went dark and she went downstairs to prepare for dinner with dazzling head.
Marshall already arrived when she just started the rice cooker.
Katherine glanced at him from a far distance and looked somewhere else.
Marshall came in when answering the phone.
At first, Katherine didn’t hear what he was talking about. When she was going to fetch things from the
fridge in the kitchen, she heard him saying, “If my mother wants to talk to you and you don’t have spare
time, you can refuse her.”
Katherine stopped. When hearing Mr. Grant’s name, she almost knew who was Marshall talking with.
The other side of the phone said something and Marshall showed a smile, saying, “I see. Sorry to
interrupt you.”
Marshall held the phone, sat on the sofa and turned on the TV with remoter.
Clara heard the TV sound. She stopped for a while and asked, “Are you at home now?”
Marshall replied, “I have just arrived.”
Clara smiled and said, “I am so jealous of you. I am still in the company and have lots of documents to
read. I don’t want to slow our progress schedule and could only work extra time.”
Marshall also smiled and replied, “Don’t work too late. You can finish it efficiently if you spend some
extra hours.”
Clara agreed with him and then stretched, saying, “Well, we have just stocked with some new products
and maybe they have requirements on texture. I will show you the samples by the time we meet.”
Marshall said, “Of course.”
Clara’s voice went relaxing and said, “Well, I won’t interrupt you in your working time. How about we
meet this weekend in the golf course in the suburb? My father opened a membership account for me in
case I got boring. To be honest, I don’t know anything about golf and won’t dare play if I am alone.”
Marshall frowned and got a bit hesitated when Clara continued, “I will bring samples to you there.”
Marshall promised her and said, “Okay, see you.”
Clara smiled and seemed to be very delighted, saying, “Yes, I will call you at that time.”
Marshall finally hanged up the phone after saying this.
Katherine started cooking in the kitchen now.
Marshall turned around and noticed the thing lying against the wall.
It was the gift Hector brought yesterday. The wrap was luxurious and he couldn’t tell what was in it.
Marshall felt helpless when seeing his gift was so large. People would normally pick delicate gadgets
when giving gifts and it would be hard to bring it to the old house.
He stood up and went to the kitchen.
The hood fan’s noise was large and Marshall raised his voice, asking, “How much is your gift? You
haven’t answered me yet.”
Katherine didn’t look at him and directly said, “You can give me whatever you want. Anyway, I didn’t
purchase this gift.”
Marshall was startled and said coldly, “OK, I understand.”
Katherine kept on stirring food, while Marshall turned around and stood in the living room.
It seemed Hector was really fond of Katherine for paying for her gift.
Marshall started at the gift for a while and went upstairs.
When he was going upstairs, he yelled in a loud voice, “I won’t have dinner. Don’t call me.”
Katherine was still cooking. However, her eyes gradually went cold.
Marshall came to the bedroom, took the cigarette case on the nightstand and lit a cigarette.
He stood beside the window and looked down at the flower stand from the smoke.
The longer he started at it, the angrier he became out of no reason.
He still felt uncomfortable when finished smoking.
He didn’t want to lit another one because he already got sick.
He stood beside the window for a while and got out of his room.
Katherine was bringing dishes to the table and could guess what Marshall thought when seeing him go
downstairs.
Marshall didn’t look at her. He went outside and started the car, fluently and smoothly.
Katherine smiled sarcastically and brought dishes to the kitchen.
Marshall didn’t know where he should go. He thought for a while and decided to go to the old house.
He stuck in traffic for a while. When he arrived at the old house, they already finished dinner.
Seeing Marshall come, Mrs. Grant was a little surprised, but more she felt was delight.
She hurriedly came and asked, “Why are you here at this time?”
Marshall curled up his lip and replied, “I just drop by.”
Mrs. Grant was startled and then said, “You are so similar with your father who is obsessed with
working. You must just finish doing business. Have you had dinner yet? I will cook for you.”
Marshall followed his mother to the kitchen and stood beside the door.
Mrs. Grant went to wash her hands and said, “I haven’t found any news about WF Group on the
internet.”
Marshall looked at her and knew what she meant. He nodded and replied, “I am looking for a proper
chance.”
Mrs. Grant smiled and said, “Yes, you should. Otherwise, if Katherine tries to frame you up, it’s hard for
you to explain.”
Marshall frowned and replied, “She’s not that kind of person.”
Mrs. Grant knew Marshall didn’t like her to talk bad words about Katherine and continued, “I know. Let’s
stop talking about her and affect our mood.”
Marshall held his arms and said, “Mom, you can go to travel in your spare time or join some clubs.”
Mrs. Grant turned around and said, “What? Are you blaming me for talking too much?”
Marshall answered, “No, I am not. I just think you might get bored for staying at home. It would be
better for you to find something to do.”
Mrs. Grant lowered her voice when hearing this and replied, “I am not interested in those things. It’s
hard to learn new things at my age. I simply go out with my friends and play cards, but your
grandmother doesn’t like me for doing this.”
Marshall darkened his eyes and suddenly reminded of Kyle.
He was in a good relation with Kyle, but not as good as with Hector.
With Kyle, Katherine would definitely get along well with Hector.
Marshall stood here and heard some noise came from the stairs.
He hurriedly turned around and said, “Grandma.”
Old Mrs. Grant was surprised that he was here and smiled, “Why are you here today? Where is
Kathy?”
Marshall smiled and replied, “She’s at home. I decided to come to see you after finishing my job and
didn’t call her.”
Old Mrs. Grant sat on the sofa and said, “Well, bring her with you next time. How could you just leave
her at home?”
Mrs. Grant heard their conversation and couldn’t help rolling back her eyes.
Marshall nodded and said, “Yes. I will bring her next time.”
