Chapter 503 A Date

But after quite a while, they hadn’t decided which curtain to buy.

Commonly speaking, ladies tended to a lot of comparisons among products while shopping.

Katherine walked over, “Oh, it’s about time for lunch. Come on, let’s get something to eat. We can
continue after lunch.”

The man checked his watch, “Oh, you’re right. Time for lunch.”

Frances nodded, “Okay, let’s go.”

She agreed out of concern that Katherine would be likely to get hungry because of pregnancy.

They walked out of the shop and walked along the street. Then they found a decent-looking restaurant.

Before they could notice, Katherine took a picture of the restaurant and sent it to Marshall.

Then she put away her phone and followed them in.

As the restaurant was filled with guests, the waiter walked over to tell them that all boxes had been
occupied.

But for Katherine, that was what she preferred.

She just nodded, “We are okay to have a table in the public area. It’s fine.”

Then they saw a table available next to the window. So they walked over.

It was a nice choice as Katherine could notice all pedestrians on the street when she looked outside
the window.



The waiter handed them a menu. Katherine smiled, “I don’t have picky appetite. So I will leave the
order to both of you.”

While they were ordering, Katherine hurried to text Marshall.

She soon got a text back from him, who said that he was arriving soon.

She felt like being in full preoccupation with the remarriage between Khalid and Frances.

The waiter left after taking the order.

Katherine looked at that man, “Sir, may I have your name?”

The man suddenly came to realize he had forgotten about it, “Oh, sorry, I forget introducing myself. My
name is Nicolas Dixon.”

Katherine nodded, “Okay, Mr. Dixon.”

Nicolas took a look at both of them, “I am really surprised by the fact that you are actually friends. How
did you know each other?”

Katherine said while blinking her eyes, “Well, because she’s my mother.”

Stunned, he was only told that Frances had a son. He had never expected her to have a daughter as
well.

Katherine chuckled, “I mean she’s my mother-in-law.”

Not until then did he notice what Katherine meant, “Oh, Miss Jordan, no wonder you look so familiar. I
have seen some news about you before.”

Katherine smiled, “Most appeared to be negative, right?”



“Of course not. Most of those comments were neutral, not aggressive.” Nicolas hurried to explain, “But
Miss Jordan, you look much more beautiful than those pictures online.”

Katherine smiled to say thanks.

When waiter came to serve dishes, Katherine finally saw the car of Marshall.

He parked the car outside the gate. Then he got off the car and Khalid followed behind.

Obviously, Khalid still had no idea why Marshall drove him here.

He happened to turn his head to look at the window.

Noticing that, Katherine hurried to look away. She sat tight and saw the waiter serving dishes.

Khalid didn’t even notice them. He followed Marshall into the restaurant.

He was rendered confused, “You drove for so long just to have lunch here?”

Marshall didn’t answer. Instead, he looked around.

Actually, the table for the three was quite noticeable. Marshall couldn’t help smiling.

He turned to say to Khalid, “Dad, let me tell you something…”

But before he could finish, Khalid had noticed Frances.

While staring at her, Khalid frowned with a solemn face.

After some consideration, Marshall gave him a hitch on his arm to beckon him, “Let’s take a table first.”

Though displeased, Khalid still followed Marshall to walk to a vacant table.



Katherine squinted at them. After a while, she gave a slight tug on Frances’s sleeve, “Hey, I saw
someone familiar over there.”

Frances was a bit surprised, “Really? Who? Shall we greet?”

Katherine clicked her tongue, “I don’t think we need to.”

While saying, she secretly pointed at the table for Khalid.

Frances turned to take a look. Then she hurried to turn back.

Without looking at her, Frances whispered with her head down, “Katherine, what have you done?! Stop
playing tricks on me!”

Katherine held back her urge to laugh out. She patted on Frances’s shoulder, “Come on, that ain’t
tricks. Look, don’t you think it’s the best situation to test his feelings for you?”

Nicolas smiled while seeing them whispering stealthily, “What’s the matter? What are you talking
about?”

Katherine looked at him to reply, “Nothing serious. It’s just that we happened to see my father here.”

Nicolas didn’t even realize what she meant. So he took a look at Katherine, looking a bit confused.

Katherine didn’t intend to explain. Since now the show had begun, it was time to spare the stage for
those main roles. So she started to eat with her head down.

Affected by strange guilt, Frances had no courage to look at Khalid though she did nothing wrong.

As Marshall took the table, he beckoned a waiter over to take order.



Neither did Khalid look at Frances. He just asked, “You know your mom is here?”

Marshall raised his brows with his eyes fixed on the menu still, “Katherine did tell me that they were
here. But I don’t know what’s going on with that man.”

When the waiter left after taking the order, Khalid cast a casual glimpse at Frances.

At this moment, Frances looked a bit restrained. She seemed to notice Khalid’s arrival.

Khalid then stared at the man sitting opposite her.

From his perspective, he looked mediocre only. Khalid found it hard to tell why Frances chose this guy
for blind date.

After gazing for a while, Khalid shifted his eyes off from him.

He said with his legs crossed, “No wonder your mom returns home. Now I know the reason.”

Marshall leaned on the chair, “Perhaps it was because grandpa can’t wait no more. After all, mom will
be getting too old to marry another guy if time goes by.”

Khalid responded with silence this time with her lips pressed.

Meanwhile, Frances looked quite agitated. She showed no response while Nicolas had been talking to
him.

Katherine felt like chuckling. Now there was nothing else she needed to do but to wait.

She finished the food and stood up, “I am done. Enjoy your talk and I will spare some time for both of
you alone. Now I fancy taking a walk outside. See you later.”

Nicolas didn’t consider much about her real thought. He simply nodded, “Alright, take care.”



Katherine smiled and left.

When she went pass Marshall, she patted on his shoulder, which rendered him amused.

But meanwhile, Khalid still remained solemn on his face.

Katherine took a look at Khalid and then walked out of the restaurant.

After a while, Marshall stood up to leave as well.

Katherine stood at the gate to wait. When Marshall came out, she hurried to ask, “How does your dad
feel? Mad? Or jealous?”
