Chapter 366 You’re An Outsider


    Marshall paused upon hearing ra’s question.


    He didn’t want to be too specific to ra, after all, what happenedst night was between him and


    Katherine.


    Moreover, he would only talk dirty to Katherine or someone who he was really close to.


    ra’s identity was a bit sensitive, what’s more, she was his business partner, so he’s got to be


    serious.


    “Nah, I’m just a bit tired, so I’m just going to drop by the store.”


    Lips pursed, ra didn’t say anything.


    ra stopped the car at the next crossroad and said in a while, “I can see that you are getting along


    well with Miss Jordan. Auntie Frances told me before that you were on bad terms. Well, she must have


    gotten mistaken.”


    Marshall frowned when ra brought up Frances, “Well, my mom got mistaken a lot, so you don’t have


    to take her words to heart.”


    In a way, Marshall was trying to address the big fuss that Frances made in the hospital.


    Sensing that Marshall was trying to change the subject about Katherine, ra just stopped inquiring


    further.


    She then drove to Katherine’s store and got off the car with Marshall.


    There were just Peter and Margaret in the store.


    Peter was in charge of collecting money and Margaret was wrapping up for customers.


    “It looks like you are getting used to this.” Marshall said to Peter.


    Peter looked up in shock and then shrugged his shoulders, “Well, I got the whole morning to practice. I


    was all thumbs at first.”


    Margaret was surprised to see ra standing behind Marshall, “This must be Miss Henderson.”


    ra then stepped forward and stood next to Marshall, “Yeah, I’m just stopping by.”


    Peter Was taken aback, “Miss Henderson came here with our boss?”


    Before ra can even say anything, Marshall exined, “I didn’t manage to get a cab and bumped into


    Miss Henderson by ident, so she gave me a ride.”


    Peter nodded and recalled that Katherine called him yesterday to pick up wasted Marshall, but he was


    really swamped at that time and didn’t go there.


    Marshall didn’t drive his own car now, so he must have stayed overnight at Katherine’s home.


    Peter then nced at Marshall teasingly.


    Marshall frowned a bit and looked back warningly and then went to the counter.


    Katherine’s stuff was pretty organized and was pleasing to the eye.


    Margaret looked up and asked Marshall, “Howe that Katherine didn’te here today? Was she


    still tired from yesterday?”


    “Yeah, she might stop byter. It’s okay. Peter is going to help today, so you can just ask him if you


    need anything.”


    Peter protested, “Stop squeezing me!”


    ra stood for a while and was a bit awkward to be left out by these people.


    So she said while they were silent, “I know you are probably busy, so I won’t disturb you anymore. I


    have to be somewhere, so I’m gonna go.”


    Marshall looked at ra. “Sure.”


    He then showed ra to the door and said thanks.


    ra looked back at Marshall and ended up saying nothing.


    Marshall didn’t even ask her and was all calm.


    Atst, ra suddenly broke intoughers, “You are nothing like what you are believed to be.”

    Marshall raised his eyebrows, “Really?”


    ra nodded, “Don’t you want to know how people are thinking about you?”


    “Not really. They don’t see the real me, so I’m not interested.”


    ra paused andmented, “You are sure philosophical about this.”


    But Marshall didn’t say anything, so ra just waved, “I’m gonna go then.”


    She then just drove away without looking at Marshall, but her eyes were fixed on the figure reflected in


    the rear-view mirror.


    Howe an incisive man like Marshall would allow himself to be stuck with Katherine?


    In theory, such a man wouldn’t go back for what he had given up.


    But every time he mentioned Katherine, he would get all affectionate. Though other people wouldn’t be


    able to see it, ra was crystal clear.


    Old Mr. Henderson was drinking tea on sofa in his pajamas when she drove home and Elder Mr.


    Henderson was sitting next to him.


    They were talking aboutpany stuff.


    ra went over and sat on the corner of the sofa.


    Old Mr. Henderson nced at ra, “What happened? Why are you being so gloomy?”


    ra let out a sigh, “I’m just a bit upset.”


    Old Mr. Henderson put down the tea cup and asked, “Is there anything wrong with Marshall? He


    seemed all right recently.”


    Elder Mr. Henderson also wondered, “You came home prettytest night and left early in the


    morning. What happened?”


    ra reclined on the sofa, “Nothing really. It’s just that Marshall is getting along well with Katherine


    now. I’m a bit distressed.”


    Old Mr. Henderson’s face darkened when she brought up Katherine, “Don’t be angry with that kind of


    person. She’s not worth it.”


    ra was a bit edgy, “Marshall slept at her homest night. I don’t want to be angry about this. It’s just


    that I would feel hurt every time I think about that.”


    Elder Mr. Henderson let out a sigh, “ra, actually, you and Marshall...”


    Old Mr. Henderson coughed a bit to stop his words and he ended up not going further.


    Old Mr. Henderson then said, “You still have a shot as long as they are not remarried. Don’t mess


    things up yourself.”


    Then he added after pondering, “But you have to be sure if you really love Marshall. You won’t waver


    even though that he still had ties with his ex-wife?”


    Lips pursed, ra nodded in a while, “I really like him.”


    She had feelings for him even before they had an engagement.


    And this love didn’t ever diminish after he got married and then divorced.


    Old Mr. Henderson then nodded, “Well, as long as you are sure about what your heart wants, don’t be


    disturbed by some irrelevant matters then.”


    Elder Mr. Henderson sighed silently and didn’t say anything.


    While ra was being all upset, Katherine was also in disarray.


    She really got carelessst night and Marshall seemed to be mistaken afterst night.


    Margaret just called and said that Marshall was in the store and trying to help out.


    Well, Katherine suddenly felt awkward to meet Marshall.


    What happenedst night was just a spur-of-the-moment thing and a physical need for a single woman.


    That was all and nothing else.


    Katherine was concerned about exining to Marshall in an understandable and natural way.


    After struggling for a while, she dressed up and went to the store.


    There were no orders at the store today, so it was not really busy to the point that Marshall had tond


    a hand.


    There were not many customers when Katherine arrived.


    Marshall, Peter and Margaret were giggling about something together.


    Katherine walked in, “You all looked merry.”


    Seeing that Katherine was here, Marshall just said, “You can just rest at home today. I will be here.”


    Face darkened, Katherine said, “well, I’m anxious exactly because you are here. What if you just stole


    my store away.”


    Marshall leaned against the chair, “What are you being so edgy for? You are really not in need of this


    one store.”


    Katherine nced at him. “Either way, I got to protect what I have from outsiders.”


    Outsiders? It seemed not hard to guess who she was referring to.
