Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 24 

Katherine slightly frowned and looked a little confused as she gazed at Zack.

She finished wiping her sticky hands, but she didn't show any intention of getting up and walking outside to talk alone with him.

Seeing that Katherine had no intention of talking to him, Zack's face was much more dimmed.

Despite that, he continued to say, "I have to talk with you.Come with me."

In the past, he didn't even need to open his mouth for them to talk.

Katherine was always the person who would take the initiative to run towards him when she saw him from a distance and would ask him repeatedly to willingly go out with her.

After one meaningful last glance at Katherine, Zack turned around and walked out of the restaurant.

This change between them made him very uncomfortable and a little upset.

Seeing that Zack had left, Alice became daring again and reached out to pull Katherine, who was about to go after Zack.

"Don't go after him.Where's your dignity if you will just follow your ex-husband's command?"

Katherine gently shoved Alice's hands away.

"Don't make this an issue.This is nothing.I'll just talk to him”

This time, Shaun, who had been silent all the time, suddenly stood up.

"Do you want me to go with you?" he asked, looking concerned.

Katherine gave him a questioning look.

She seemed stunned for a moment while Shaun waited for her answer.

Meanwhile, Alice also looked at Shaun with a face full of shock.

She didn't expect him to say that at all.

Katherine, who regained her composure, raised her eyebrows and looked at Shaun teasingly as she asked him, "The shrimp you just gave me...Did you do it on purpose?"

Shaun did not speak, but his ears betrayed him by turning a little red.

Seeing his reaction, Katherine reassured him and said, "Don't worry.I can handle him."

The two didn't have the chance to talk because after she said that, Katherine immediately followed Zack outside.

Watching Katherine walk away, Alice finally realized something and asked teasingly, "Dear Shaun, you don't have a crush on Katherine, do you?"

When he faced Alice, Shaun had already regained his calm and cold appearance.

He shortly answered, "I saw the news.”

Q City was one of the best in the country.

As the successor of the most known company in the city, Zack's divorce naturally became the center of the news.

It was unknown how Katherine had suffered verbal abuse and criticism when they had their divorce announced.

Shaun had naturally heard of it.

Alice scoffed and said, "You are indeed smart!"

Shaun pressed his lips and asked, "Is Zack Colburn doesn't really like Katherine?"

A part of Shaun couldn't believe it.

When it came to Zack, the man who treated Katherine badly, Alice had a bunch of words for him.

"You're talking nonsense, right? Can you imagine a man who married a loving woman but didn't bother saying a word to stop his family members, who treated his wife badly for almost three years of their marriage? Zack's mother tormented Katherine.

His other relatives also dared to tell Katherine how she should be as a good wife.

If Zack didn't let them do that, they shouldn't have the guts to treat Katherine like that.

Shaun frowned and looked at Alice, who was filled with hatred and disapproval towards Zack.

In the end, he kept his thoughts and questions to himself.

He was also a man, and he clearly felt Zack's jealousy just now.

Zack wouldn't ask Katherine for a talk if Shaun didn't display that kind of behavior towards Katherine earlier, which probably made Zack jealous.

Of course, Shaun didn't know the whole story.

That was why he did not comment.

Just as Katherine walked out of the Blue Water Dining hall, she saw Zack standing next to a potted plant.

She raised her eyebrows and walked over.

"What's the matter, Mr.Colburn?"

Although they had been divorced for more than three months, Katherine still had to admit that Zack's face was still as handsome as ever. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

However, she had seen too many handsome men.

Now that she looked at his face, she found that her heart was as serene as calm water.

This had never happened to her.

This was the only time that she was calm looking at Zack.

"You don't need to use those tricks to have my attention.It's useless to me” Zack bitterly said.

Just as Katherine came back to her senses, she suddenly heard him giving her a warning due to his disgust and frustration.

"Mr.Colburn, are you daydreaming?" Katherine asked with a mocking smile.

Zack looked at the woman in front of him and frowned.

Her beautiful face had a trace of mockery directed towards him.

Katherine peered at him with anger mirrored in her peach blossom eyes.

Zack was never mocked like this before.

His gaze became intense and colder.

"Since you don’t want to have my attention, don't play such childish tricks.Even if your friend finds a thousand or even ten thousand famous male stars to take turns to accompany you on trending news, I won't give a damn at all"

Every word he said was full of negativity and hostility.

Katherine's patience evaporated when she heard him.

She uttered his name heavily, "Zack Colburn..."

Her beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed to Zack's eyes.

She then suddenly took a step forward to him.
