Chapter 240 A Perfect Match

Katherine tidied the living room and went back to her room upstairs.

When she got changed, she called Peter.

Peter was supervising the renovation work in her store today, and she hadn’t asked him about it yet.

Since Peter wasn’t asleep yet, he answered the phone at once.

Katherine asked him how the renovation was going.

Peter replied, "They just tore down everything in the store today, and some construction materials were
moved in. They should start up for real tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

In fact, Katherine wasn’t worried about these at all. "Thank you. You’ve been doing the job for me
today."

Peter smiled. "You’re being so courteous to me, and that sends shivers down my spine. What
happened? Something doesn’t feel right."

Katherine put on her pajamas. "Nothing’s wrong. Everything’s fine. I just got home and I’m a little tired."

Peter didn’t get into the bottom and asked after some consideration, "How are you and your ex-
husband going?"

How were they going? Not well!

Katherine paused and said, "Just so so."

Peter let out a sigh. "Don’t worry. There won’t be any necessary meeting with the Henderson family
during this time anyway. Now that the contract is signed, the next one we have to deal with is the



material supplier, and your ex-husband doesn’t need to handle this personally, so he doesn’t have to
meet Clara that much."

Katherine didn’t want to care about these right now.

She went into the bathroom. "Alright, talk to you later. I was hanging out today and I’m exhausted. I’ll
go to sleep after washing up."

Peter said OK and asked Katherine whether she would go to the store tomorrow noon.

Katherine thought a while and replied, "I will. I’ll call Margaret and we’ll go together to see if anything
needs to be improved. She has done this before, so she must be more experienced."

Peter agreed and the two hung up.

Katherine washed up and went to bed.

As a tiny girl, she was indeed worn out because she had spent almost the whole day hanging out.

It took much energy to hang out.

Katherine fell asleep shortly after she lay down, but woke up at midnight since she was thirsty.

The dinner she had was quite salty.

She fumbled around on the nightstand for a long while before realizing that there was no water there at
all.

But she didn’t really want to get out of bed and go downstairs at midnight.

Narrowing her eyes, Katherine walked out of her room and saw the light from the staircase.



So the light in the living room downstairs was on.

Katherine remembered clearly that she had turned off the light before she had come up.

Cool as a cucumber, she went over and leaned over the handrail, only to see Marshall sitting on the
sofa.

On the tea table in front of the sofa stood a red wine bottle and an empty wine glass.

In fact, Katherine didn’t want to meet Marshall face to face. She got annoyed at the thought of what
Marshall had said to her at night.

However, she was feeling intolerable thirst.

After thinking for a long while at the staircase, Katherine went downstairs.

Marshall saw her when she took the first step.

He simply glanced up at her and looked back immediately.

Ignoring Marshall, Katherine went straight to the kitchen, got a bottle of water, and walked upstairs.

When she got back to her room, Katherine closed the door and leaned against it.

Now wide awake, she realized that Marshall was kind of weird today.

What was he doing downstairs silently?

Katherine drank the water, sat down on the bed and looked at the phone. It was already after midnight.

Had Marshall got up from a sleep?



It wasn’t holiday tomorrow. Was it because he didn’t need to go to work tomorrow that he wasn’t
sleeping now?

Katherine failed to figure it out.

She went to the door, opened it a crack and peeked outside. Marshall hadn’t come up yet.

After almost twenty minutes, Katherine heard some noise from downstairs.

To be more exact, it was not from downstairs, but from the yard.

She went over to the window and looked down at the yard.

Marshall’s car just started.

So the man was going out at midnight?

Katherine found it hard to choke down the curse, believing that Marshall was out to play around this
late at night.

He must be out for some loose woman.

Marshall’s car darted out and disappeared in no time.

Simmering with resentment, Katherine went back to her bed and lay down.

She pulled the covers over her head, forcing herself to fall asleep as soon as possible, because she
would get more upset awake anyway.

However, even if Katherine fell asleep, she had disturbed sleep since she had something on her mind.

She dreamed of Marshall, as well as Clara.



In the dream, the shameless man Marshall went for Clara.

The two enjoyed a romantic moment under the moonlight.

Katherine didn’t have a real body in her dream, or else, she would long have slapped Marshall hard
across the face.

In the dream, Marshall was very gentle to Clara, but he had never been like this to her before.

However, Katherine didn’t find herself sad at all.

After all, she was emotionally prepared long ago.

All she wanted to do was give Marshall a good scolding.

They hadn’t announced their divorce yet. She was keeping her nose clean, while he was playing
around.

This guy deserved a good scolding.

Katherine had disturbed sleep for the rest of the night. When the sun came out, she woke up at once.

Katherine’s head was still buzzing after she sat up. In her dream, she stuttered and failed to shout
abuse.

Now that she woke up, Katherine blurted out, "Marshall, you son of a bitch!"

Since Marshall wasn’t in the house, he wouldn’t hear anything.

Katherine got up and walked towards the bathroom with a long face.

Meanwhile, Marshall had already got to the company at this moment.



The sun just came out and there was few people in the building.

Marshall used his fingerprint to unlock the door, entered the lobby and went straight to his office.

Almost the whole company was empty at this time, and it felt so different.

Marshall sat down on his chair, rubbing his temples.

He hadn’t slept well and drunk some wine last night, so now he couldn’t think straight.

Fortunately, he checked his schedule in advance, and there was nothing important to do today.

He sat for a while and rose to his feet, heading to the tea room with the cup.

There was coffee in the cupboard. Marshall made himself a cup of coffee and sipped it by the window
in the tea room.

He took out the phone, thought a while, entered Katherine’s number and looked for her Instagram
account.

He didn’t follow her, but checked her posts.

Great. The selfie of Kyle, Hector and her was her latest post.

The three of them looked so happy.

Katherine looked so cute with the bunny ear hairpin.

Actually, she was quite young. It was just that she always acted maturely in the Grant Mansion.

Marshall heaved a sigh and thought of yesterday when Hector went over and flipped Katherine’s bunny
ears while he was standing at the staircase on the second floor.



The two smiled as if nobody was watching.

It was such a beautiful scene to watch.

A handsome man and a pretty woman, anyone would think they were a perfect match.
