CEO Proposed to His Ex-wife 99 Times

Chapter 524 A Car Accident

Frances’s voice seemed helpless, “Even if it’s an astray, I also want to try. Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll regret it in the future.”

Mrs. Maggie Kaur Mason looked at Frances for a long time before she said, “Everyone says you have changed, but you haven’t changed your temperament. You are as stubborn as before.”

Frances smiled and stood up holding the phone. “Okay. I am already at such an age. I’ve been stubborn for half my life. There’s really no way for me to change it.”

Then she said, “I’ll answer the phone, but I am afraid you’ll be angry if I answer it in front of you. I’d better go out.”

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Maggie Kaur Mason understood who made the call.

Mrs. Maggie Kaur Mason looked displeased and impatient. “All right, all right, you go out.”

She really would be unhappy if Frances answered Khalid’s phone in front of her.

So Frances had made a very thoughtful consideration.

Frances left the house with the phone and stood outside.

She dialed Khalid back directly.

Khalid answered almost immediately, and then spoke first, “Was it inconvenient for you to answer the phone just now?”

Frances sighed, “I was talking to my mother just now. It’s really a little inconvenient to answer.”

Khalid nodded over there, “Did you have dinner?”

It’s already very late, and both of them must have had their dinner. “Yep,” Frances answered simply.

In fact, Khalid had nothing to say. He just wanted to call. There was nothing to chat with.

Frances didn’t know what to say as well. Khalid drank too much the night before.

She wanted to take a taxi to send Khalid back to the old house. However, Khalid took her hand and said not to go back there.

Khalid was very stubborn. It was unlike what he used to be.

At that time, Nicolas was watching nearby. Frances also intended to let Nicolas understand, so she directly took Khalid back to her home.

Khalid knew where Frances lived, but he had never been there.

Although he drank too much, he looked around after entering Frances’s house and joked, “It seems that you’ve been doing well since you left me.”

Khalid slept in the guest room that night.

Frances hardly slept all night.

This feeling was a little awkward.

It’s not annoying or rejoicing. It’s like something rubbed her heart.

Those two kept silent for a long time on the phone. The atmosphere was natural previous, but gradually it turned to be embarrassing since they were so silent.

Finally, Khalid spoke first, “I drank too much yesterday. I didn’t remember how I went to your place.”

Frances quickly explained, “You really drank too much, and then kept saying you didn’t want to go back to the old house. I didn’t know where to send you, so I could only bring you to my house.”

Khalid didn’t mean anything else. Hearing Frances’s explanation, he immediately said, “Well, I should have brought you trouble last night.”

“No, nothing troubled.” Frances could only say that.

Khalid pinched his cellphone tightly, and then said, “You and Nicolas...”

The latter words did not need to be said. Frances immediately understood him.

She vomited a sigh, “I have nothing with Nicolas. At present, we are just friends.”

Actually, Khalid could feel it.

“That is good,” He said.

These three words mean a lot.

Frances didn’t speak. Khalid waited and said, “You’ve changed a lot recently. I think I’ve also changed a lot.”

Frances didn’t understand Khalid at first.

What did he mean!

Khalid waited for a while and said, “In the past, maybe I didn’t understand how to get along with you to ensure the long-term marriage. I’m also responsible for the current relationship between us.”

“Well,” Frances said, she really didn’t know what to say.

Khalid never had been sweet-talked before.

Those two sentences already made him blush on the phone.

He took a deep breath. “I’ll go to the Mason’s house sometime.”

Frances was surprised. Then he heard Khalid say, “How about tomorrow? Do you think it’s a good idea for me to go there tomorrow evening?”

Frances didn’t know how to answer. To be exact, she didn’t know what Khalid intended to do for visiting the Mason family.

Without waiting for Frances’s answer, Khalid said, “Okay, I’ll go there tomorrow evening.”

Then he checked the time, “it’s getting late. I’m going to work. I’ll contact you later.”

Frances thought for a long time. Eventually, she said, “Okay.”

She waited for Khalid to hang up the phone. She stood in situ and frowned slightly.

What did Khalid mean?

He’s going to come to the Mason’s house.

Why did he want to come to the Mason’s house?

When Khalid returned to the company, Marshall was already there.

But Marshall was not in the office. He was standing at the exit passageway and making a phone call.

Khalid was surprised and walked over.

Marshall immediately felt someone approaching. He turned and saw Khalid. Then he controlled his expression.

He said to the phone, “All right, that’s it. I see.”

After putting down his cellphone, he looked at Khalid, “You come so late.”

Khalid’s eyes stopped on his cellphone and asked, “What’s the matter? Why are you answering the phone behind others’ back? Who were you talking to?”

Marshall smiled, “I don’t need to answer the phone behind others’ back, no matter who called me. As you know, Kyle was taken to the police station today. The content of our chat was not particularly good so I didn’t want to be heard by others.”

Khalid nodded. It was normal for Kyle to be taken to the police station.

He was not surprised at all.

Khalid said to him, “You have made some troubles today because you drank too much yesterday, haven’t you?” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Marshall smiled. “I didn’t. I was sobered up from yesterday. Today I just accidentally broke someone else’s things. There was no agreement on the amount of compensation, so I went to the police station to negotiate.”

That’s a good explanation.

No loopholes at all.

Khalid didn’t think about anything else and nodded, “Okay. I’ll go to work now.”

Marshall said nothing. He waited Khalid turned and left. Then his expression turned to be glacial.

In the afternoon, Marshall needed to do the legwork. A cooperative partner said he wanted to meet Marshall to discuss the specific details of purchasing materials.

So Marshall drove out.

The place where they met was not far from the Grant family’s company.

But Marshall’s car was stopped at a traffic light halfway and was blocked for a long time.

There was a car accident. It was seemingly very tragic.

A lot of cars were blocked here. They couldn’t get in or turn back.

Marshall lowered the window and leaned against it to look out.

There were some upset drivers who were blocked to get off their vehicles to go to have a look.

But after a while, they came back and passed by Marshall’s car.

Marshall could see the pity on their faces.

Those people even sighed.

Originally Marshall’s curiosity was not strong. But since he had spent much time with Katherine recently, it seemed that he was influenced by Katherine.

He also pushed the door and got off to check.

The location of the accident had been vacated.

Marshall stood aside and saw a boy lying on the ground. He looked like a student from his dress.

The scene was really tragic. There was blood all over the ground.

Because there were many cars blocked, the ambulance could not arrive soon.
