Chapter 574 Why You Here?

Katherine pursed her lips, listening to Old Mrs. Grant.

Since Old Mr. Grant’s death, Old Mrs. Grant had been so strong that she seemed to have accepted it.

But she was always miserable inside.

Katherine knew her feelings well.

Katherine was also like her after her own grandpa’s death. She had to be strong, while she cannot be
weak and fragile.

But in fact, the heart had been riddled with holes.

Life and death, no one can accept it easily.

And it's not so easy to step over it.

Katherine pulled Old Mrs. Grant’s hand and sighed.

Old Mrs. Grant turned to look at Katherine, “So, I hope that you can focus on your life, instead of work.
We can just live for decades of years, and it’s not worthy to work for your lifetime.”

Katherine nodded, "I see, grandma. I know what you mean."

They sat there for a while, and Frances came.

Frances carried a bag of fruits and came over. She said by the door of the living room, “Katherine, have
you miss me?”

Katherine paused and turned to her, showing a smile, “Why come so late? I thought you will come here
earlier.”



She stood up and went over to help take the bag from Frances.

But Frances avoided her, “You don’t take it and it is heavy."

There's a servant and she took it.

Frances told the servant, “Katherine likes the grapes. Please wash some for her."

She looked a little at home.

After that, Frances took a seat on the sofa. "I went back to the Mason family, but I still worried about
you, so I come here now.”

Frances stared at Katherine, "Why? You don’t look well.”

She stroked her face. "Do I? Maybe I didn't rest well last night.

"

Old Mrs. Grant also made fun, “Marshall worked overtime yesterday and slept in the company. So
Katherine felt uncomfortable.”

Frances laughed, “It’s nothing. There will be more things like that. You should learn from me, and I
have been relieved from that. It’s inevitable that they have to work."

Khalid used to live in the company when busy.

What's more, he always puts his work in the first place and sometimes he would not go home for
several days.

Frances had to be unhappy for that and she even had quarrels with Khalid.



She didn't want a married life where two people didn't see each other for days.

Khalid promised not to work so hard, but he never kept his promises.

Frances messed up for that a lot of times, but it didn’t work. Finally, she gradually accepted it.

In fact, thinking about it, she also made a lot of compromise in the marriage.

Katherine nodded, “I called Marshall in the morning and he said he might come back early today."

Frances laughed, “You the youth never become sick of each other.”

Old Mrs. Grant also laughed, “You just said so. Khalid went to you every day, or you'd be worried if He
doesn’t."

Frances paused and then suddenly laughed, “Old Mrs. Grant, you stop it! Why you always like that?”

Then they both began to laugh, while Katherine cannot smile beside them, just curling the lips.

Marshall just called her in the morning, then he never contacted her again. So she knew nothing how
everything was going.

Suddenly, she recalled that Clara gave her a phone call yesterday. But she missed the call at that time,
and she wondered what that woman wanted to talk with her.

The three had a chat for a while on the sofa. When it’s noon, Old Mrs. Grant felt drowsy, and the
servant supported her to have a rest.

Frances went to the kitchen to see what the servant would cook for lunch.

Katherine then got up and went out with a phone in her hand. She called Clara.



Clara didn't answer.

So, she deliberately didn’t answer her call because Katherine missed her call before.

It’s all tight. Katherine stopped calling her, because Clara didn’t deserve her repeated calls.

But she always thought Clara had something to say to her.

Or she yesterday did not answer the phone call, so Clara felt that those words were not important
anymore?

Katherine checked the time. It’s noon. Then she gave a call to Marshall.

Marshall answered the call and his voice was as usual. Before she asked something, he said first, “I
am a little busy in the company, but I will come back home at noon. You don’t worry.”

Hearing so, she put her mind down and said, "Mom came here and you ask dad to come back for lunch
together"

Marshall said ok, then she heard Peter’s voice.

She knew he was busy, so she hung up the phone.

Then she went back to the house, but this time she was much better.

She went to the kitchen, seeing Frances help in the kitchen. She said, “I go upstairs to have a rest and
I will come for lunch.”

Frances nodded, focusing on her work, “Just go to rest, I’ll call you when the lunch is ready.”

Katherine nodded. Standing still there for a while, she turned upstairs.



She returned to the room and called Kyle.

Actually, she wanted to say thanks to him.

Although she had no idea what he had done to help Marshall, he was really helpful and kind to her. So
she should thank him.

It took a while for Kyle to answer the phone call, and it was a bit noisy at his end.

She forgot to thank him, asking, "Where are you, Kyle? You are playing mahjong in the club?"

Kyle said, “No, I am not in the club. Why? You want to go to my club?”

Katherine smiled, "You are in the gym?"

Kyle paused for a while, it’s obvious that he hesitated what to say.

This proved that Katherine guessed it correctly.

Katherine said, “I know you must be there. So you go there to help or mess it up this time?”

Kyle said in a proud tone, “Neither, I have something to talk to her. I come here for business.”

She got curious, "You should have some business with Miss Mitchell? Tell me what business you have
to talk to her.”

Kyle snorted, "Look at you, you still don't believe me. To be honest, do you think I could talk to her if
she cannot help me?”

Before Kyle finished, Katherine heard a woman's voice at his end, "Kyle, how did you come
again?"

She returned to the room and called Kyle.
