Chapter 148 Disdainful Tone

Clara turned to look at the door.

Their voices were very close, and Katherine smiled a little shyly.

They could all hear the sound outside the corridor.

Everyone almost looked at the door.

When Katherine and Marshall appeared, she was holding Marshall's arm.

She snuggled him tightly.

They couldn't see Marshall's expression clearly, for he was facing the door sideways.

Katherine continued, "How can I finish eating so much? It's a waste of money."

After Marshall walked over, he said leisurely, "Didn't you like to waste like this before?"

His voice was very flat.

But Clara still felt his tone was somewhat pampering.

She sighed silently.

What Mrs. Grant told her did not match the current situation.

elder Mr. Henderson couldn't help but snort and closed the door.

Clara retracted her gaze and smiled after a few seconds, "Okay, let's have the meal. Don't spoil our fun
because of it."

Mr. Henderson wanted to say something, but fell silent after looking at Clara.



The atmosphere inside the private room was weird.

But Katherine felt pleasant.

It wasn't until she got into the car that she instantly put away her smile.

She stretched while saying, "Great."

Marshall didn't know if she felt great stretching, or deliberately irritating them.

He didn't speak, and started the car directly.

Halfway through, his cell phone rang.

Originally Katherine was unresponsive. But as Marshall took out the phone, she saw the caller ID at a
glance.

So, she stopped him, "It's dangerous to make phone calls while driving. I'll answer it for you."

Without giving Marshall a chance to react, she grabbed the phone.

She naturally unlocked and answered the phone.

She also pretended not to know who was calling, "Hello?"

The other party was silent for a while.

Katherine repeated again, and then muttered, "Why don't you speak?"

She then looked at the screen and said to Marshall, "It turned out that your mother called. I would not
answer if I knew it."

But she still pressed the speaker and handed the phone to him.



He didn't want to quarrel with her about such trifles.

He called mom, and asked what happened.

Mrs. Grant became so angry.

She clearly heard Katherine's tone of disgust with her.

But since Katherine was with Marshall, she couldn't say anything bad.

She only asked if Marshall had eaten, and was busy these days.

They were all innocuous words.

Marshall simply answered her, knowing she was a little uncomfortable.

So, he hung up the phone under the pretext of driving.

Katherine sat cross-legged on the chair, humming comfortably.

She looked really irritating like this.

Seeing he hung up, she mocked him, "Your mother is really kind to you."

Marshall glanced at her, who was still delighted.

He pursed his lips, remembering what Mr. Henderson said. That was, Katherine's parents abandoned
her when she was young.

If it weren't for them, she wouldn't have lived in poverty.

But Katherine didn't seem to yearn for family affection.



When they got home, she first went to see the flowers she had planted, and then went back to her
bedroom.

They were separated in the corridor, and no one spoke.

Back in the room, Katherine checked her messages.

Hector was really coming.

He would be on tomorrow's flight and asked Katherine when she was free.

Katherine was a little surprised, and quickly replied to him.

All she had was time and money.
