Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 79 

These days had gone well for Katherine as no trouble had approached her.

It was unclear whether this was because she had warned Natalie that day or Nelson had taken her advice and kept an eye on her daughter.

Nonetheless, whatever the reason was, what was important to her was that her life had been peaceful for quite some time now.

Until the Shining Awards Night, which Alice mentioned to her, finally arrived four or five days after Katherine received the dress from Alice.

Early that morning, Alice had called Katherine to tell her friend that she had sent someone over to their house and would be there in the afternoon to do her make-up for her.

Alice even explained that she was doing it as she wanted Katherine to look stunning for that event.

With her phone on her ear, the latter got up and clutched her chest, trying to control her emotions.

However, her anger passed through her limit, and a laugh came out as she angrily said, "Alice, we haven't argued for a long time, so please?"

"As I've said, I'm only doing this because I just want you to look gorgeous for the event!"

Alice, who was timid but liked to stir up trouble, directly hung up the phone, not wanting to prolong their conversation.

Only when Katherine heard the end call tone did she realize her mistake in being angry towards her friend, who was only thinking of her.

So, as she usually did, she closed her eyes and told herself to calm down several times.

Although Katherine didn't know what Alice was mulling over, she simply ignored it and returned to her bed after she finally calmed down.

Later that afternoon, around three o'clock, the villa's doorbell abruptly rang, just as she had awoken.

After she wore her slippers, she then went to her driveway to see five or six people standing at the gate of the villa.

Seeing those people jolted Katherine awake, and with her composed self, she asked, "Are you the ones who Alice sent to come over here?"

"Yes, Ms.Wilson ‘’ one of them answered.

As Katherine pressed her temples, waking more of her senses, she widely opened the door and said, "Come in.’’

Though she didn't know where Alice found these people, she just let them in, and they did their job.

Trusting her friend with this matter was the last thing she could do now to make amends for being harsh on her earlier.

After three hours of the makeover, Katherine was finally ready to go now.

At the back of her mind, she was wondering about Alice's efforts for this day because the last time her friend did this was when she married Zack.

So, she was thinking about what was special about this event to put that much effort again.

Meanwhile, the make-up artists seemed to be professionals as they knew how to match Katherine's peach blossom eyes and highlight her delicate facial features.

They only put light make-up on her, but it was enough to bring out her natural beauty.

Since Alice had the invitation card for them, they had to go to the venue together.

However, Alice called her and said that there would be someone who would fetch her up.

So when that car arrived, she no longer hesitated to get in it.

It was now six in the evening, so when Katherine sat in the back seat and looked out the window, she noticed it was already dark outside.

Alice, who was still on the other end of the phone, asked Katherine about her whereabouts.

As the latter didn't know her exact location, she just took a picture of her surroundings and sent it to her friend.

After five minutes of driving, the car finally stopped.

Soon after, Katherine got out of the car, and Helen walked towards her to lead her to another car not far away and said, "Ms.Wilson, Ms.Alice is in that car."

Katherine lifted her skirt and smiled at Helen.

"What kind of party is there tonight to make Alice so nervous?"

Just as Helen heard her question, her head suddenly ached as she tried to explain the situation between Alice and Natalie.

Hearing Helen's explanation, Katherine could not help but raise her eyebrows and asked again, "Where did that Natalie get her guts to do that?"

Helen hesitated for a moment but later said, "Well, Ms.Natalie is not just a simple nobody, Ms.Wilson.But we are still..."

Katherine curved her lips and didn't let Helen finish her words as she already interrupted her, "Helen, you have known me for so many years.Don't you know that I'm capable of protecting myself?"

Katherine couldn't believe someone would take such a risk to rally against her.

‘’Go and prepare yourself, Natalie, as I will not let you pass this time” she murderously thought.

"If only I had known, I wouldn't have said it," Helen replied, even daring to laugh.

"But you already said it,’’ Katherine snorted sarcastically.

Seemingly sensing Katherine's built-up emotions, Helen had no choice but to mention a name that the other person would undoubtedly recognize, "Maxton Jacobs"

As Katherine heard the name, she could only utter one word in surprise.

"Oh" Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

She then nodded and added, "No wonder."

Maxton was Charles’ cousin, and now that Helen had mentioned his name in connection with Natalie, the latter indeed had something up her sleeves.

When their conversation finally ended, the two had already walked to the side of the car.

Just as Helen opened the door and Katherine stepped into the car, Alice excitedly hugged her and said, "Let me kiss you first, Katherine!"

Katherine raised her hand and covered her forehead, preventing her friend from kissing her.

"It took three hours to apply my make-up, so please don't ruin it"

With that, Alice retreated as she understood the point her friend was implying and just complimented her instead, "You look like a fairy! Who would dare look down on a goddess like you?!"

Katherine leaned her back on the seat and clicked her tongue, playfully saying, "Well, there's Zack|”

After being divorced for more than half a year Katherine could now make fun of what happened in the past.

And there was no pain at all, even if his name got mentioned.

She had finally realized that such a man was unworthy of her longing.

Alice blinked her eyes and gave her a thumbs up while nodding.

"Yes, you're right! Even if you are perfect, you will still be cheated if the man chooses to!"

Katherine cracked a grin.

"Yeah, but that's okay.What matters is that we weren't the ones who broke the relationship, and we did everything we could to make it last longer..."

As they were having that conversation, the car slowly drove away.

Along their way, Natalie and her evil doings became their topic.
