Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 267 

Katherine had just walked in from the entrance when she saw Zack, who sat on the sofa.It was a rare occasion for him not to wear a suit such as today.

He wore a thin black sweater and a pair of trousers that matched his sweater.

Katherine raised her eyebrows as she walked to the bar counter.She quickly poured herself a glass of water.

Katherine did not look behind as soon as Zack got up from the sofa.

However, she still felt that he was walking towards her.

Zack was already standing by her side in less than two seconds.

Katherine picked up her glass and took a sip of warm water.She put the glass down and tilted her head to the side to look at him.

Zack had not seen Katherine for almost half a month already.

He heard that she went to B City for a business trip and then she stayed there for at least ten days.

Katherine wore a maple-colored sweater with a white skirt that cut just below her knee.

Her long hair was down, and she looked very delicate.

As soon as Zack saw her, he had the urge to pull her and hold her in his arms, but he held back.

Instead, he said, "Natalie already apologized."

"I understand," Katherine said.

"Thank you."

Katherine smiled, but her smile was subtle and faint.There was a hint of coldness in her eyes.

"Is there anything else, Mr.Colburn?"

"My legs hurt a little..." Zack suddenly uttered.

It was a piece of irrelevant information.

"Do you want me to call an ambulance?" Katherine asked as she looked at him.

There wasn't any hint of concern in her tone.

Katherine returned the coldness and alienation she felt when she divorced Zack.So, he felt as if his heart was being stabbed a hundred times by a sharp knife.

His leg might've hurt, but it did not compare to the pain he felt in his heart.

There were only two of them in the huge living room, which made the silence between them somehow intimidating.

Katherine placed the cup in her hand down on the counter and decided to leave.

She did not really want to be alone with Zack.

"You were right that day; I really didn't deserve you.I'm sorry, Katherine."

Zack turned to her, his voice sympathetic and low.

"When I didn’t like you, I could easily ignore you.But now that I have feelings for you, all I think about is myself."

Zack had already said his apologies a lot of times to Katherine, but she didn’t take them seriously every time.Only this time...She had no idea why she couldn't move her legs.

"Mr.Colburn, you don’t have to belittle yourself.When I said that we couldn't be together, I didn't mean that you're not good enough," Katherine started.

"I just said that we weren't suitable.You can't control your feelings for me.If I didn't turn out to be the way I am right now when I left you, maybe you wouldn't have liked me so much."

"You will definitely find someone who would genuinely like you in the future," Katherine added.

Zack couldn't help but force a smile.

Zack answered, "I admit what you said is right.I like you so much because you're doing amazing right now, and I'm not comfortable with it."

When Zack saw that she was about to leave, he stretched out to stop her, but he couldn't make himself grab her wrist like the last time.

Katherine stopped and looked up to him as she waited for him to continue talking.

"However, this does not contradict the fact that I love you," he explained.

Katherine smiled subtly.

"Then, can you tell me whether it is your unwillingness or your love that makes you want to be with me again?"

Katherine pushed his hand away after she said that and then continued to walk away.

"Katherine, this is the first time that I have fallen in love with someone," Zack explained.

"There are a lot of things that I have to learn as I don't understand them.But you can’t say for sure that I don't love you because of that."

Katherine paused for a moment and sneered, "It was also the first time I loved someone, Zack."

It was the first time for the both of them, so why should she give in to him? Katherine quickly walked downstairs, and just as she stopped on the second floor, she saw Sean and Charles.

As Sean saw her coming down the stairs, he looked up for a moment behind her.

"Katherine, are you leaving already? Let's play poker for a while; we're missing one player.What do you say?" Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Katherine looked at him meaningfully.

"Mr.Lewis, don't tell me you really had no idea that Zack was staying on the third floor?"

"Is that so?"

Sean cleared his throat and smiled wryly.He felt guilty under Katherine's glare.

"Is Zack here too? I thought that he didn't come here today.His legs haven't recovered still.How did he come here?"

"I'll be leaving first because I have something to do," Katherine said.

She was too lazy to look at Sean's bad acting.

Charles suddenly turned to her and said, "There are still five minutes before we cut the cake."

Katherine tilted her head to look at Charles as she heard this.

Then, she looked at Sean and asked, "You're still missing one player, right?"
