Chapter 550 Why Is It So Hard To Make You Jealous


    Great. Now Lucas had also learned to sow discord between them.


    Marshall put on a stic smile and replied, "Yeah, I was telling the people in the warehouse what to do.


    There were many details they must attend to, so it took me some time."


    Marshall’s detailed exnation, on the contrary, sounded weird.


    Lucas didn’t pay much attention to it and nodded. "Well, alright. I’m going home now. It’s time for you


    guys to have dinner, right?"


    Katherine nodded at him.


    When Lucas went away, Katherine turned to Marshall. "Who were you calling that took you so much


    time? Were you talking with ra?"


    Marshall intended to exin the situation to Katherine. However, once his gaze fell upon her face, he


    paused and was suddenly lost for words.


    Then he gave an ambiguous exnation. "We were talking about something serious."


    So he acquiesced in what Katherine said.


    Katherine snorted, "Of course you were talking about something serious." After that, she changed the


    topic. "Alright, let’s go. Dinner should be ready."


    Marshall felt a little disappointed. He originally assumed that Katherine would ask him what he had


    talked about with ra, or that she would ask him to give the details of their conversation.


    But she didn’t. She was as big-hearted as usual, which upset him.


    Marshallpressed his lips and went back to the main building with Katherine. The food was ready,


    and Old Mrs. Grant was about to have the maid call Katherine to dinner.


    Katherine greeted her with a smile and then walked into the dining room. Seeing her behaving like this,


    Marshall couldn’t feel more frustrated.


    Why wouldn’t she get jealous?


    Marshall had never found it so hard to make someone jealous. He racked his brains, but Katherine


    remained untouchable to him.


    Marshall didn’t like that feeling. He had never felt so helpless in business world.


    During dinner, Katherine said that Khalid didn’te back on time. Old Mrs. Grant said, "He might


    have gone to Frances."


    Katherine paused, her lips curving into a smirk. "Khalid is quite efficient."


    Old Mrs. Grant sighed helplessly, "They don’t know how to make their marriage work without divorcing


    each other."


    Marshall threw a look at Katherine because what Old Mrs. Grant said also applied to their rtionship.


    Katherine, nheless, didn’t take it personally and nodded. "But I think it’s good for them. They’ll


    know better how to get along with each other after this."


    Old Mrs. Grant said, "Yeah, I don’t think it’ll be long before they remarry." Her gaze darted between


    Katherine and Marshall. "Since they’re going to remarry, what about you two?"


    Katherine chuckled, "Well, I’m good. I’m in no rush to get into a rtionship now."


    Marshall put his foot in his mouth. "I’m in no rush either."


    Surprised, Katherine turned to look at Marshall for a few seconds before nodding with a smile. "Well, I


    see."


    Marshall’s heart skipped a beat.


    Then she added, "That’s great. Finally, we reach an agreement."


    Old Mrs. Grant saw this scene and heaved a sigh, regretting having mentioned this subject. Not only


    didn’t she improve Katherine and Marshall’s rtionship, but she made herself upset.


    From then on, there was an awkward silence at the table. When the dinner was over, Old Mrs. Grant


    went to the garden to take a walk, while Katherine stretched herself carefully and said, "I just had a


    walk in the garden. I’m exhausted. I just want to go to bed."


    Marshall chimed in at once, "I’ll go with you."

    Katherine shot a nce at him. "OK." She looked totally normal and calm, and she was still talking to


    him, but somehow, Marshall felt even more upset.


    The two of them went back to the bedroom. Katherine put on her pajamas, took out her phone and


    checked the news.


    Marshall hesitated for a moment and sat on the bed. "How was your day? Did the baby behave


    himself? Was he good?" He was trying so hard to start a conversation.


    Katherine moved her gaze from her phone to his face and replied calmly, "Not bad. The baby was


    good. At least I haven’t felt sick so far. The family doctor said that my underbelly would growrger


    gradually, and I might get tiredter."


    It seemed that she wasn’t angry at what he had said at the dinner table a while ago, but somehow,


    Marshall wished she could be upset about it, which meant she was jealous.


    But howe that woman wasn’t disturbed at all?


    Marshall managed to continue the conversation, but after a while, he had nothing to say.


    At this moment, his phone vibrated. He took it out and got up, saying, "I’m going to the study. Sleep


    early. I have some business to take care of."


    Katherine replied without even ncing at him, "OK. Go ahead with your business."


    Then Marshall left the room.


    After a few seconds, Katherine put down her phone and pulled a long face.


    Was he challenging her to some weird kind ofpetition?


    He was riding the high horse now, and it was time to teach him a lesson.


    Katherine got out of bed to wash up. When she came out of the bathroom, she turned off the light.


    Since there was nothing fun to read online, she might as well go to sleep.


    Marshall didn’t stay long in his study. He just made a few calls, texted his men, and read through the


    papers sent to him.


    When he came back to the bedroom again, he was stunned as he opened the door.


    Katherine had already turned off the light and fallen asleep.


    Marshall came over to the bed and called her in a whisper without turning on the light, but she didn’t


    react. Now he was convinced that she wasn’t bothered with what he had said at the table at all, or she


    wouldn’t have fallen asleep so early.


    Marshall breathed a sigh helplessly, stepped softly towards the bathroom to wash up before he came


    back and went to bed.


    Katherine was lying on her side with her back to him. Marshall thought for a moment and took her in his


    arms, while she turned over automatically and snuggled up to him.


    The next moment, she woke up, looked up at him and mumbled, "You feel so cold." After that, she


    maneuvered her body into afortable position and fell asleep again.


    Marshall stroked her head and whispered, "Aren’t you a hard nut to crack? Why is it so hard to make


    you jealous?"


    It was unknown whether Katherine heard it or not, but there was no response.


    Katherine had a good sleep that night, while Marshall didn’t.


    He was emotionally unfulfilled.
