Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 190 

Witnessing certain couples showing their love and affection to each other was such a disturbing sight, even if it was unintentional.

Of course, such experience for any single person out there wasn't so great.

Katherine already drank two glasses of red wine while she witnessed the lovey-dovey actions of Luke and Alice.

The three of them were so engrossed with their conversation that before they realized it, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

"Sleepover?" Alice asked.

"No, thank you.You know I'm picky when it comes to bed” Katherine replied.

"Okay, then maybe I could make the couch comfortable for you if you'd like?" Alice insisted.

"There is no need, Alice.You should wash up and sleep early.Anyway, you have to make the most out of your last day of vacation tomorrow" Katherine concluded.

It was hard, but Alice started working four days after the holiday season.

Katherine glanced at Luke and Alice and said, "Okay, I have to go”

Luke and Alice accompanied her towards the elevator.It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening and the second day of the new year.No one could be seen outside.

Katherine had drunk wine and couldn't drive.She took out her phone and tried to contact an Uber through their app, but it seemed that no one accepted her request for a ride home.It was not questionable, though.

Who would want to drive during the holidays and miss out on time spent together with their own family? Katherine locked and then kept her phone inside her bag.

She decided to go to the nearest taxi stand and see if she could get into one.

New Year decorations were all over the buildings along the road.

Every shop had elaborate and distinctive trinkets on its display windows and doors.

Anyone could feel the festivity and its ambiance, but the street was deserted except for some pedestrians who were still out and in a hurry.

"Just come out? “ Katherine abruptly stopped.

When Zack heard her voice, he went out from hiding and slowly approached Katherine.

Katherine turned around, faced him, and asked, "You've been following me all day, Zack; aren't you tired?"

Katherine's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, but her tone was soft, and it was clear that she wasn't mad.

Zack took his time as he slowly walked towards Katherine.

The lights from the stop sign were reflected on Katherine's face.

She looked at him and slightly smiled, but her stare was a little serious, "I didn't know that Mr.Colburn had a thing for stalking.”

Zack frowned.He was well aware that Katherine misunderstood, but he had undoubtedly followed her all day today.He had no way of disproving this fact, even though his original intention wasn't what she thought.

"I'll drive you home since it's not safe to take a taxi at this time” Zack offered.

She didn't respond to him.So, he just walked two steps more and stopped right in front of Katherine.

Katherine didn't wear makeup today.She wore a cute white knitted winter bonnet, and a beige scarf was wrapped around her neck, including half of her face.

Only her pair of charming eyes were visible while she was looking at him.He had seen her eyes when she was genuinely beaming.

They used to be seductive and cunning, nothing like they were now, only cunning.

Katherine raised her eyebrows.She thought of Alice's words and thought it was ridiculous. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Just as she was about to speak, a white van suddenly stopped in front of them.

Katherine was shocked as she naturally took two steps back, and Zack instinctively stepped right in front of her like her own personal shield.

Five sturdy men got out of the van, each holding a baseball bat in their hands.

Zack looked back at Katherine and whispered, "Don't be afraid, Katherine"

As he spoke, he touched her hand, secretly placed the car keys into her palm, and said, "The car is right in the parking lot, opposite of here.I will buy you time.You run as fast as you can towards the car, drive away, and never look back."

Katherine looked down at the car keys in her hand and slightly frowned with concern, "What about you?"

Zack was shocked for a moment.

He looked at her and softly said, "Don’t worry about me."

Katherine bit her lips and didn't say anything else.

The men started running towards them, and one of them, obviously the leader, instructed, "Hold the man down and grab that woman!"

Zack pulled Katherine on her wrist, hid her behind him, and pushed her even harder, shouting, "Run!"
