Chapter 125 Marshall Made An Offer

Marshall sat down in the sofa and took a look around. He found some decors on the table and a
rocking chair by the sofa along with a yoga mat.

She was probably giving the house an overhaul the past few days.

She probably loathed living in that villa.

She probably liked none of the people living there.

Marshall knew that.

Katherine took almost an hour to enjoy her dinner.

Then she walked to sit across from Marshall, “so, are you ready?”

Marshall nodded, looked at Katherine. “My mom said something offensive, I heard it.”

Then abruptly, he changed the subject. “last night I was drunk, I came on to you. You had nothing to do
with it, I told them so. They were only trying to protect me, they made a mistake.”

Katherine smiled. “That doesn’t matter, none of those does. Actually, Marshall…”

She paused, frowning slightly. “Now I think that we should live our own lives since we’re divorced. All
this coming and going won’t do any good to both of us.”

She took a long sigh. “But can blame all this on you, I’m responsible of it, too. All this would never have
happened if I hadn’t be so caught up in my reverie. But it’s still not too late now, we can still end this.”

Marshall eyed Katherine, she was somehow different than she was before.

The Katherine now was nothing like the meek Katherine or the grudging Katherine.



Now, she was calm, rational, but distant.

Marshall spoke after a few seconds. “I know you are right. But you know my present situation, there are
many outside circumstances that I have to consider.”

Katherine lowered her eyes and had an impulse to ask him why he never considered about her. But
that would be asking for an insult. So she swallowed the question back.

Marshall let out a breath, “So I can’t do as you say now, I have to prepare for whatever peril that may
come. Can you understand that?”

Katherine couldn't and didn't want to, but she said nothing.

Marshall paused and then continued. “How about we meet in the midway?”

Katherine raised her eyebrows at Marshall’s suggestion, but she just looked at Marshall and kept silent.

Marshall stared into Katherine’s eyes. “I know you hate the villa, so we can move out of there and live
in somewhere else alone. Then you don't have to see those people anymore. You can do whatever you
want to do, and I’ll make sure that they won’t bother you anymore. How does that sound.” He paused
before he added. “About WF, we’re in a tug of war right now. And if I handle them, I may explain about
us to the public earlier. By then, the reason is whatever you want it to be so long as it is not to
outrageous.”

Katherinemclosed and opened her eyes. How sincerem. She did not know how to refuse. Katherine
kept silent, and Marshall kept looking at her. His stare was so fierce that it intimidated Katherine.
Marshall knew what she was thinking, Katherine supposed. He knew her weakness, that’s why he’s
doing this. He knew where her soft spot was.



Katherine let out a breath after a good while. “What you say is not unacceptable, but I have one more
term.”

Marshall nodded, “name it.”

Katherine got really serious. “An apology from your mom.”

She elaborated before Marshall got to say anything. “And in person, for what she said today. Your offer
it taken if she does that. If she doesn’t, this would be our last conversation.”
