Marshall turned around and stood beside her, saying, “It’s dangerous for a girl to go on a journey.”
Katherine compressed her lips and thought for a while, reply, “Marshall, I have my own consideration.
There’s something I have to do.”
Marshall looked at her seriously, seeming that he was abandoned by her.
Katherine explained, “I want to visit my grandfather. His one-year death anniversary has passed and I
haven’t gone to be with him. I am his only family and I have to go back.”
Marshall’s tense nerve finally loosened up and said, “I will go with you.”
Katherine chuckled, “You don’t have to. I will go there by myself. I think there is no need to be so
serious and ceremonious on someone who has already passed away.”
Marshall frowned, “I am not for the ceremony.”
Katherine hurriedly nodded, “I know, I know. You don’t have to explain. I know what you mean, but I
want to go there alone. You haven’t been to our village and the residents will all come around to talk to
you. I don’t want to explain with them who you are. Please let me go. I don’t want to cause any trouble.”
It was rare for Katherine to talk with Marshall in a calm tone. Her attitude was much better compared
with the past.
Marshall knew there was no use to stop her!
Katherine looked at Marshall and said, “I just inform you instead of asking for your permission. I hope
you can take care of the flowers for me during the time when I am out. I will be heart-broken if they die.”
She smiled after saying this, “Actually, it will be the same if I ask Peter here. I know you will still come
to help me in the end. Hence, I decide to directly talk with you.”
Marshall thought Katherine was being too calm towards him.
He sighed, “It’s fine that you will go on a trip alone, but I really worry about your safety. How about I
arrange someone to guard you? Is there any spare room in your hometown? You might need to tidy
your room after going back and the guard will help you.”
Katherine shook her head and replied, “No need. It’s a small village and we all know each other. I can
sleep over in other people’s home. People are hospitable and are willing to help me.”
Marshall knew he couldn’t persuade Katherine from leaving.
He nodded, “Fine, but I probably will call you every day. Make sure you will pick up, okay?”
He knew he had to compromise. Katherine replied, “Okay.”
Kyle stumbled through the living room right after they finished talking.
He was murmuring and they couldn’t hear her words clearly.
Marshall frowned, “I have to check. He’s possibly roaring drunk.”
Katherine didn’t say anything and Marshall hurriedly went downstairs to check how was Kyle. Actually,
Kyle didn’t do anything crazy, but went towards the front door to wait for someone to pick him up.
Marshall had no other way but took a chair to sit beside him.
Although Kyle already couldn’t speak clearly, he still raved randomly.
He said one day he would help Hector to get all his property and let Patrick and Alexis confess when
kneeing down in front of him.
He also said Ariel was a malicious woman and would definitely divorce with Kevin.
Kyle talked a lot, but Marshall was unwilling to hear any of it. He stood silently.
Katherine was observing them from the window in the second floor.
She touched her belly and really had no idea about what to do next.
Kyle’s clubhouse sent a driver to bring him back. He recognized that car and hurriedly pounce towards
it.
The driver was startled and hurriedly slammed the brick. Kyle bent over the hood and smiled, “Finally
you’re here. I miss you so much.”
Marshall got impatient, pulled Kyle’s collar and hinted the driver take him away.
The driver hurriedly got out of the car and opened the door.
Marshall had no mercy and threw Kyle in.
Kyle’s headache was so serious that he fell asleep in a comfortable position after murmuring.
Marshall waved his hands and let the driver leave.
Then he came back to the restaurant and did a simple cleaning. However, when he got upstairs,
Katherine’s bedroom door was already locked from inside.
Marshall wanted to knock. However, after thinking for a while, he stopped his motion.
He sighed and said outside the door, “Have a good rest. I have to leave first. I have already checked
the doors and windows for you.”
Katherine didn’t reply.
Marshall waited for a while and went downstairs.
He drove his car back to the old house.
His family already went to sleep and Marshall also went back to his room.
However, he found him could not fall asleep when lying on the bed.
He got anxious and turned over again and again. He finally sat up, remained silence in the dark and
went outside.
He went to the empty room beside.
Although nobody lived here, the servants still cleaned it everyday and opened the window every day to
ventilate.
Marshall left the light and lied on the bed. The moon looked beautiful outside.
He was trying to find Katherine’s remaining smell, but it was already gone.
Katherine had only spent a few days in this room.
However, staying in her room was still a relief for him. He could only ease his emotion when lying on
this bed.
The next day, Marshall went to the company first and drove to Katherine’s store during the lunch break.
Margaret was the only waitress in the store. She seemed to be embarrassed when saying Marshall and
said hi to him in hesitation.
Marshall looked inside and asked, “Katherine is not here?”
Margaret nodded, “She has to go out for a few days. At first, she told me to close the store and to have
a vocation, but I think I can still help by coming here.”
Marshall thought for a while and said, “How about I find someone to help you? You will be exhausted
when running the store by yourself.”
Margaret looked at Marshall for a long time and smiled, “There is no need to. I can do it on my own. I
will close the store if it is too tiring.”
Marshall didn’t say anything. He didn’t spend too long in the store and drove towards Katherine’s
house.
Margaret watched Marshall’s car drove away and laughed at herself in a low voice.
She would be moved if Marshall suggested he would send somebody here, but now…
She touched her chest, sighed and went back to the store.
Marshall found Katherine was really good at dealing everything efficiently after arriving at her house.
It seemed Katherine had left a long time ago. She kept the windows and door close and had done a
thorough cleaning.
Marshall could tell she wasn’t planning to come back for a long time.
Marshall wandered in the house and took out his phone to call her.
