Chapter 468 Triple Good Fortunes
Katherine went to the yard with cellphone in hand and answered the phone.
The woman, who made the call said to her smilingly, “Kathy, are you busy? Why not answer my phone
call?”
Katherine lowered her voice, a little annoyed, “As you know, I am busy and it’s not convenient for me to
answer the phone. Why you call me again and again?”
The woman stopped, seemingly a bit awkward, for only for a few seconds. Then she smiled and said,
“When I called you last time, you did not speak. Your sister, who misses you much, did not hear your
voice. She just wants to talk to you now.”
Katherine replied straight-forward, “I have no sisters. Why you don’t understand that? I have explained
to you for many times. Now I tell you again. I have no relationships with you as well. Please don’t
bother me anymore.”
The voice of the other side lowered, “Kathy, don’t act like that. You broke my heart.”
Katherine said in a cold voice, regardless of the woman’s feelings, “I tell you. I clearly know what’s in
your mind. Don’t think nobody knows the conspiracy made by Reuben Jordan and you. You are
delusional. I will never be your daughter.”
The woman’s voice became lower, “Kathy, I’m your mother. How can you saying to me in this way?”
Katherine sneered, “I don’t have mother. My mother died long time ago. I have no kinsfolks in this
world, none. They all died.”
The woman seemed to be upset by the word “died”, she said in a cold voice, “well, OK, as you act in
this way, don’t blame us for anything.”
Isn’t it sounds much better than before by saying in this way?
Katherine did not know why the woman pretended to care her like playing a drama. Is it better to be
herself and adhere to her principles?
Katherine hung up the cellphone directly.
Then she stood still to let herself calm down. Otherwise others would easily found that she was upset.
She stood for a moment there. Before she completely calmed down, a hand was put on her shoulder.
Frances stood behind her, asked in a low and soft voice, “Are you okay? Tell me, who made the call? A
guy you dislike?”
Katherine looked back and murmured, “Yep, a guy I dislike.”
Frances looked at Katherine, “If you were in trouble, just ask for help. We all here by your side.”
“It’s all right,” Katherine said, “It doesn’t matter.”
Frances sighed, “You have your own opinion. You know what to do. I will not say more.”
Katherine and Frances stood for a while before they returned back to the living room.
The two Grandma Grant could read others’ feelings very well. Although Katherine restrained to show
her upset, they noticed that.
Grandma Grant smiled, “Kathy, come here to tell me what makes you unhappy.”
Katherine tried to make her look as normal, “Nothing to worry about. I am just a little tired. ”
Katherine did not have the breakfast. Frances then remembered that and asked Darcie to quickly get
something to eat for Katherine.
Grandma Grant looked at Katherine for quite a while, but without asking too much eventually.
Marshall came back at noon. He found the visitors were not leave. They were invited for lunch by
Frances.
Marshall walked into the room to see whether Katherine was there. Then he said, “Where is
Katherine?”
“When you came in, you just looked for your wife. All of us are not as important as your wife,” Frances
hummed.
Marshall smiled, “Is she upstairs? Is she sleeping?”
“Yep,” Grandma Grant answered, “She sat here and chatted with us. She looked a little tired, so we let
her go upstairs to have a rest. We will call her at lunch time.”
“Good,” Marshall said. Then he thought it over and said, “I shall go upstairs to see her.”
Maddie Nicholson then laughed, “I have not seen Marshall act like that before. Every gentleman would
give the golden apple to Venus like Paris indeed.”
Marshall smiled and went upstairs without answering to her comments.
Katherine was lying on the bed. It seemed that she was asleep.
Quietly Marshall walked towards her and sat by her side. He gently traced her hair with his hand.
Katherine immediately opened her eyes.
Marshall leaned over her, “Did I wake you?”
Katherine did not move, she blinked, “No.”
Noticed that Katherine was not in a good mood, Marshall thought for a while and said, “Is it too noisy
downstairs to make you cannot have a good rest?”
Katherine said, “No.”
Then Marshall could tell that Katherine was definitely in a bad mood.
He asked in a soft voice, “What’s up? What happened to you?”
Katherine closed her eyes and refused to say anything.
Marshall got close to her and kissed her cheek, “You just sleep and I will call you at lunch time.”
He tucked Katherine in and went out of the room.
After he closed the door, he did not go downstairs. He fetched his cell phone and made a phone call.
His call was answered immediately. Marshall said directly, “Help me to check a phone number in the
call log.”
Then he told Katherine’s cellphone number to the operator. The operator soon understood.
Marshall hung up the phone and stood for a moment there. Then he went downstairs.
He performed much better than Katherine. He put on a smile immediately when he reached the
staircase.
It was already very lively downstairs, and it became livelier than before since Marshall got involved in.
He has a sense of humor, which helped him promoted the atmosphere.
Maddie Nicholson said, “Look, Marshall, it becomes much livelier than before.”
Grandma Grant nodded, “Yes, as you can see, he could sit here and chat with us. He never did like
that before.”
Marshall smiled, “Really? I think I act the same as before. I have not changed. ”
He put his arm around Frances, “It is my mother who has changed a lot. You can see it clearly.”
The two Grandma Grant looked at Frances simultaneously.
How could it be possible to neglect her changes? Grandma Grant noticed that immediately last time
when she visited Frances.
Maddie Nicholson also was surprised to learn that. She also has met Frances before. To her
knowledge, Frances would act different if she stayed the same.
Grandma Grant looked at Frances for some time and nodded, “Yes. Frances really changed a lot.”
It was a moment of embarrassment. Frances smiled without saying.
Marshall said, “A few days ago, my father came here to have supper after he got off work. He said he
felt my mother has changed a lot. She was completely different as before.”
Frances looked at Marshall wondering whether his words were thought by Marshall or Khalid really had
said that.”
Grandma Grant was surprised, “Now I see why your father went home late these days. It’s because he
came here. He told me he already had supper when he arrived home. I was wondering how he had
supper outside as he did not need to get involved in social engagement.”
“Yep,” Marshall answered, “My mother was not so well these days. My father was worried about her, so
he came to visit her.”
What Marshall said really evokes imagination for what happened between his father and mother.
With silent lips, Frances looked a bit uneasy.
By contrast, Marshall assured this and was proud of that.
Grandma Grant looked at Frances, “I see.”
Marshall smiled, “The relationship between Katherine and I may still stay the same before my father
and mother be reconciled. Well, that’s good, too. When our child born, there will be three happy
events.”
Grandma Grant smiled, “Yes. If that’s true, it will be triple good fortunes.”
From the reaction of Grandma Grant, Frances could not tell whether Grandma Grant support or oppose
to rebuilding the relationship between Frances and Khalid.
Frances then was reassured a little.
