Chapter 227 Lock from the inside


    For a long time, Marshall peered at the Message. He knew Katherine well. If she had been with Hector,


    she would refuse decisively to have sex with me. Namely, Hector and Katherine had no other


    rtionship, except for being friends. Katherine was not aware that Hector had crush on her at least.


    Marshall snorted, then deleted the messages. After a while, there was no new messages. He put the


    phone back on the tea table. And the phone never vibrated again.


    Marshall’s lips curled, curious of what Hector might be thinking at the other end.


    Then he heard Katherine’s voice, “The food is ready.”


    He stepped forward casually, and sat down, “Where did you go this afternoon?”


    Katherine paused, “I went to the store. Margaret said we can set off decorating thing in advance. She


    has closed the store today, so I went to hang around.”


    So she was not with Hector.


    Then why did Hector suddenly send her a message like that?


    Katherine got Marshall soup, “Take more soup, it’s good to your stomach.”


    Marshall nodded, “It tastes good.”

    Katherine licked her lips, then said, “I think, in the following days, you’d better sleep in your own room.


    After all, we have had a divorce…”


    “We had sexst night. I think it’s ordinary for us to sleep in one room.” His words shut Katherine down.


    With chopsticks in hand, Katherine felt like asking why he can have sex with her while he didn’t love


    her. Otherwise, they will be in a most peculiar rtionship.


    She recalled Peter’s words. She kind of expected that Marshall would fall in love with her after a happy


    life with her. After all, they can meet each other every day and have sex sometimes. Everything was


    better to her than ra.


    So the question was swallowed up.


    In silence, they finished the meal. As usual, Marshall put the dishes into the dish washer.


    Katherine checked her phone, and there was no new message.


    Then she went to the yard, watering the flowers. When she returned to the room, Marshall had gone


    upstairs.


    Sheid on the yoga mat, meditating. Her life was in a mess, which was far away from her n.


    In the study room, Marshall continued to read the documents. In a while, his phone vibrated. It’s a New


    Friend request from ra.


    The two Groups had signed a cooperation contract, so it’s normal for ra to add his .


    Marshall added. And there was an immediate message from her. It’s a lovely emoji.


    Marshall was not a text man, so he put down the phone.


    After a few seconds, he picked up the phone. After all, it’s impolite not to reply a greeting message.


    So he replied ra with a “hi”. Then there was no new message.


    Marshall put down the phone again, continuing his work.


    The door of the study room was not closed. So Marshall heard the sound when Katherine went


    upstairs.


    She went back her room directly. Marshall can hear clearly that she even locked the door from inside.


    Peering at theputer screen for a long while, Marshallughed.


    Katherine did it on purpose. After washing up and getting changed, she lied on the bed and yed


    games.


    A long timeter, she heard something from the door. Someone was tried to open the door.


    Katherine gave a nce. She knew it’s Marshall. But he said nothing and left, not opening the door.


    Katherine took a sigh of relief out of disappointment or joy. No one knew.


    There was no sound outside, then Katherine fell asleep.


    While Marshall returned to his room. He was not willing to hound someone.


    After a cigarette, he went to wash.


    When he came out, there was a new message from ra. “Good night.”


    Then he entered ra’s moments. Her moments updated frequently and all were pictures of peaceful


    world and easy life. In the beginning, it’s about her lunch in thepany. He scrolled down, and it’s


    about flower arrangement and baking, which were themon thing to daughters of rich families. And


    Mrs. Grant appreciated suchdies most.


    With no drowsiness, he lost in his mind, staring at the ceiling.


    He had few contact with ra before, and he even had no impression of their first meeting.


    He had met her twice after the engagement. And every meeting onlysted about several minutes.


    Besides, he was upied by the business and the things of the family when Old Mr. Grant was not


    well.


    His clear impression to ra was that she ran after him after he broke off the engagement in her


    house. She, with red eyes, asked him why. Did he hate her?


    He didn’t hate her, otherwise, he wouldn’t have agreed to get engaged to her.


    However, he was too awkward to tell her the private thing about his family, so he said, “I just think I am


    your wrong man.”


    ra took him on his arm, asking, “Why can’t you be firmer?”


    Her question revealed that she knew about his family and the reason why he had to break off the


    engagement, and who he was going to marry.


    Marshall didn’t give any reply, just waiting for her family taking her back.


    Marshall closed eyes. In fact, he had no perfect n about his future, because his future was nned


    by his family.


    He would marry a virtuousdy, just like ra, and lead a life with little changes.


    However, beyond expectation, he married Katherine, such a girl, totally different from that in his


    imagination.


    Thinking here, he recalled that Lucas today reminded him that younger Mr. Grant’s birthday was


    around the corner. Besides, he was required to attend the birthday party with Katherine.


    Lucas mentioned Katherine deliberately. What did he mean? Reminding or


    taunting?
