Chapter 249 He Was Unwilling at the Beginning

Marshall’s expression froze for a few seconds and smiled, “Yes, you’re right.”

Old Mrs. Grant looked at him and said, “You have been married for almost a year and really should
consider that thing.”

Everyone could understand what old Mrs. Grant meant.

Katherine showed an unnatural expression and said, “Well, grandma, about that….”

Marshall interrupted her and said, “We have been discussing about having a baby. However, it really
depends on luck and we cannot rush. What we think is that is good if she really carries a baby, if not,
we won’t be anxious.”

Mrs. Grant kept squeezing eyes to hint Marshall.

What was he talking about? They already got divorced. What would be their relation if they really had a
baby?

Mr. Grant also showed a surprised expression but he didn’t behave in Mrs. Grant’s way.

He looked at somewhere else and lowered his head to have meals. After a while, he said, “I really want
to be grandpa. It’s a bless to have a baby around.”

Katherine held the spoon and didn’t know how to respond.

Should she smile? Or should she be shy?

Old Mrs. Grant looked at her and said, “Drink some. It tastes good.”

Katherine smiled and took several sips.



It was of a good taste and should have been boiled for a few hours for the bones to split from the meat.

Marshall turned to look at Katherine and couldn’t help curling up his lip.

Although it was inappropriate, he fancied a small-sized Katherine to have meals out of no reason.

Clara didn’t even raise up her head and kept eating.

Mrs. Grant glanced at her and felt content with her characteristic.

It was hard for her to remain calm. That was the daughter-in-law she wanted and she should be
Marshall’s wife.

Lucas sat opposite to Clara. He looked at her and asked, “Miss Henderson, are you accustomed to
working in the company?”

Clara was startled and never expected Lucas would give her a chance to speak.

She smiled after a few seconds and replied, “Yes. Because I have done internship in the company and
know many things about the job I am doing now. It’s not hard for me.”

Mrs. Grant hurriedly said, “Yes. She’s really a smart girl and can do a good job in the business world. I
don’t know who would be so lucky to have her as girlfriend. It’s a pity that our family…”

Old Mrs. Grant glanced at her coldly and said, “It seems the food can’t block your month.”

Mrs. Grant suddenly stopped talking.

Although old Mrs. Grant had scolded her many times recently, it was the first time she directly went
against her in front of so many people. Mrs. Grant felt ashamed and didn’t dare say anything.

Mr. Grant also thought Mrs. Grant went too far.



She behaved similarly with the day when forcing Katherine to bring Kyle.

Mr. Grant also frowned and said, “It’s not your turn to worry who Miss Henderson will marry with. Mind
your own business.”

Mrs. Grant flushed and opened her eyes widely.

There were four Grant families and they didn’t get along with them. Seeing she was scolded by old
Mrs. Grant and Mr. Grant, none of them help her out.

They simply turned to glance at her and what they behaved was more like making fun of her.

Mrs. Grant compressed her lips and her heart pounded quickly.

However, she didn’t dare say anything in such occasion and could only repress herself.

Clara was also embarrassed on the other side like Mrs. Grant.

Everyone in the Grant family she was going to marry Marshall at first.

They had already decided the wedding day when Katherine suddenly appeared and took everything
from her.

With old Mrs. Grant and Mr. Grant’s words, she could be sure that it was impossible for she and
Marshall to restart their relation.

Clara took a deep breath, looked at the food in her bowl and didn’t want to eat anything.

Katherine looked at Mrs. Grant and showed a complex smile.

Why would such stupid woman marry to the Grant family?



Did Mr. Grant fond of dumb girls when he was young?

Noticing Katherine was looking at her, Mrs. Grant was too ashamed to raise up her head.

Marshall whispered to Katherine, “Have some more. Your stomach isn’t well and have to drink more
soup.”

Katherine smiled and tried to be cooperative, saying, “It really tastes good and is good for health. Come
one. Have some.”

Then she put up the bowl and spooned the soup to Marshall’s mouth.

It was not the first time for her to feed him and Marshall already got used to it.

He lowered his head, directly drank it and clicked his tongue. Then he nodded and said, “It really tastes
good.”

Katherine pretended a smile and then rolled back her eyes before everyone could notice.

Marshall glanced at her and snorted.

Someone came in with a moving cart when everyone almost finished their meal.

It was a three layers’ birthday cake.

Katherine always loved sweet food and blinked her eyes.

Because it was younger Mr. Grant’s birthday, he had to make a wish first.

When the servant was about to cut the cake, Katherine suddenly stopped him and said, “Come on,
uncle. Make a wish first.”



Younger Mr. Grant hurriedly waved his hands and said, “There’s no need to. I am a middle-aged man
and don’t have to make wishes like children. Let’s eat.”

It was only a custom and nobody would take it seriously.

However, Katherine directly stood up and said, “No, you will only have one birthday every year and only
one wish. You have to take it seriously.”

She bypassed the table and took younger Mr. Grant’s arm, suggesting, “Think carefully, uncle. I will
help you to plant candles. You will make a wish soon.”

Younger Mr. Grant looked at Katherine, who was planting candles and said kindly, “I have never found
Kathy is so adorable.”

Hearing his words, Katherine smiled and replied, “I always am.”

Old Mrs. Grant also smiled, “Well, I am getting more and more like you, Kathy.”

However, Mr. Grant started at Katherine when finding nobody was watching her.

Then she turned around to look at Clara, who didn’t look at anyone but seeing a dish on the table when
frowning.”

Katherine finished planting candles and took younger Mr. Grant beside the cake, saying, “You can
make a wish now, uncle.”

Younger Mr. Grant took a deep breath and said, “Well, then I wish Lucas can find his loved one and
start his own family.”

After saying this, younger Mr. Grant lowered his body and blew out the candles.



Katherine clapped and said happy birthday.

However, only a few people smiled because they all knew Lucas’s wedding was not a good topic.

If it were not him, Marshall would marry Clara.

However, now Marshall, Katherine, Clara and Lucas were all around the table.

It was really an awkward topic.

Katherine didn’t care about it and helped to withdraw the candles, saying, “Uncle, you can cut the
birthday cake now.”

Younger Mr. Grant also didn’t know that he had said something wrong and cut the birthday cake
happily.

Lucas’s smile was gone and he kept observing Katherine from a distance.

He was the one who rejected to marry this girl and let Marshall got the chance.

Younger Mrs. Grant signed when lowering her head and petted Lucas’s hand beneath the table.

Lucas looked at somewhere else and found Marshall was watching Katherine carefully.

Lucas moved his lips and came up with a question.
