Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 187  

Today, although it wasn't snowing, the wind was so powerful that Katherine couldn't help but shiver.So, she didn't stay for too long in the cemetery and left after finishing the steak.

The streets were cold, and Katherine carefully drove the white rented car down the road like a turtle.

Just as she had parked the car, Alice called.

Katherine glanced outside the gloomy sky and retreated her hand that was going to unlock the car door.

After Katherine answered the call, she teasingly asked, "Why? Not enjoying your date with Luke?"

Alice always called her and was not afraid that Luke would be jealous.

Alice, who was on the other end of the line, snorted and dramatically answered, "Haven't you realized that you are my true love, Katherine? The weather is bad today, and I am afraid you will be cold, so I specially called to ask if you wanted to come over to our place for a chicken stew"

Katherine smiled.

"Then, if I say no, would you consider me ungrateful?" Alice pouted.

"Can you handle seeing my heartbreak?"

Katherine straightforwardly said, "To tell you the truth, yes, I can handle it"

After saying this, Katherine sighed as if facing a dilemma.

She dismissively said, "Nevermind.Since I couldn't think of anything to eat tonight and after seeing your enthusiasm, I could only reluctantly agree to your invitation"

Alice didn't know how to react at first.

Afterward, she enthusiastically said, "Okay! I'll leave first and prepare delicious food for you!"

Katherine nodded, and she couldn't help but smile.

"Go ahead' After hanging up the call, Katherine stared at the steering wheel in front of her for a while.

Then, she went to Alice first before returning the rented car.

Katherine sat in the car for a while after opening the window.

She sat in the car until around three o'clock in the afternoon before driving to Alice and Luke's complex.

Luke and Alice were missing their previous hometown so much.

Hence, the residence they purchased was within the vicinity of their previous residence. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

And since the location was a distance away from the city center, Katherine drove for almost an hour to get to their neighborhood.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was darkening.

Katherine located their residence and parked the car.

After paying the parking fee, she walked with a coat on her arm to their neighborhood.

Katherine was quite familiar with the area because their old house was located nearby too.

However, although she missed living there, recalling that her parents had an accident directly across the road still pained her until now.

Back then, Katherine was sleeping when her neighbor barged in and told her that something had happened to her parents.

Feeling nervous, she immediately ran out in her pajamas in such chilly weather.

When she went downstairs, she didn't even notice that one of her shoes had slipped off.

After she arrived, she looked at the chaotic scene and realized that she didn't feel cold or anything.

Only fear.

However, it was useless to be afraid.

No matter how afraid she was, she had to sit outside the funeral homes and watch as her parents got cremated one by one.

Her neighbor was great when bad mouthing others.

That woman would occasionally inquire how much Katherine could get from her parents' insurance.

And when she was talking about how Katherine could instantly get $160,000, her words were dripping with envy.

Why would you envy someone who could only get money with their family dead? After getting that sum of money, Katherine had relied on it to make a name for herself.

However, if she could go back in time, she would sacrifice the wealth she had in exchange for that accident to never happen.

What was the use of money if she didn't have a home to go back to? The streets were nearly empty on the eve of the New Year.

Not sure if it was because of the festivity, but almost all the complex's security guards were more idle and relaxed.

Knowing that the security of the neighborhood was tight, Katherine was about to ask the security guard for the registration form when he raised his hand and allowed her to pass.

Then, he friendly asked, "Miss, from which family are you? And why haven't I seen you before?"

Katherine was such a lovely young lady.

Even the security guard couldn't help but sigh and wonder which family was capable of raising such a beautiful lady.

Katherine gave a kind smile.

"I don't live here, but my friend does.She's in Building C"

Having some impression, the guard instantly said, "Oh, that young couple! That young couple is also good-looking, like famous artists seen on TV.My daughter is correct; good-looking people are all associated with equally good-looking people!"

The security guard enthusiastically said.His smile was quite contagious.Then, he suddenly took out a wrapped present from behind his post.He smiled as he continued, "Happy New Year, miss.I could only give you a small gift, as I have little to no money"

Looking at the present in front of her, Katherine was stunned for a moment.

She hadn't received a gift from her elders in about ten years since her parents died.

Katherine couldn't help but be surprised and felt touched now that she'd received it from a security guard who could be considered a stranger to her.

Katherine was moved by his gesture.

She received a small gift from the guard, so she reached into her bag for a Cloud View Hotel SVIP room card.

Afterward, she warmly smiled as she said, "Thank you for your present.By the way, I won this card in a lucky draw; it's for you, and you can use it to reserve a free room at Cloud View Hotel'’
