Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 96 

Katherine stopped in her tracks when she heard Zack call her name.

Her hand stayed on the car door as she stood there, looking at Zack, who was walking towards her.

"Who is Mr.Colburn going to plead for this time?" Zack was taken aback by her words.

His expression grew darker and colder as he stared at her.

The fact that he did not know that Katherine was not afraid to say such things to people before was a mystery to him.

"You don't have to be so hostile to me.In fact, I don't hate you as much as you think ‘’ he said.

Katherine met his gaze and smiled.

"Are you saying that you don't hate me that much? Maybe a part of you still likes me?" she taunted.

She narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms.

Silence surrounded both of them for a short while.

Then, Katherine straightened her back and looked straight into Zack's eyes.

"I'm sorry, Zack.I don't care if you like me or hate me.I made myself clear after the divorce.We will treat each other as strangers.So..."

She paused.

Her lips curved into a cold and sarcastic smile.

"I'm just treating you like someone I didn't know at all" she continued.

Zack's expression hardened as he listened to Katherine's words.

His cold eyes were piercing right through hers.

The way Katherine said that he was someone she didn't know made Zack very agitated.

The hands at his side moved.

He raised them and adjusted the buttons on his shirt.

He gulped hard as he tried his best to suppress his anger.

"Are you scared that you won't be able to resist the urge to come back to me?"

Instead of getting angry, Katherine's reaction was the opposite.

"You know, I have never understood where Chloe's blind confidence came from.Thanks to you, now I know.That's probably a classic Colburn character.Narcissistic and arrogant ‘’ she laughingly said as she shook her head.

She didn't even use profanity or any blasphemous word, but her statement was enough to show how angry she was at him.

Zack's cold eyes slowly moved away from her eyes.

They traveled down her face until they fell on her red lips.With such beautiful lips, how could she utter such painful words?

"You seemed so confident when you said that you won't come back to me.But how can you fool yourself and treat me as if I'm a stranger to you?"

Katherine's palm landed on Zack's right cheek.

The smile on her face was gone, and her eyes were filled with nothing but coldness and anger.

Still, she remained calm and composed as she stood before him.

"Are you awake now?" she asked.

Zack raised his hand to touch his face.

The force of that slap was no joke.

Until now, he could still feel the stinging sensation on his face.

"If you weren't awake by that slap yet, just tell me, and I'll be happy to give you another one; Katherine calmly said.

Her gaze never left his as she uttered those words.

"Do you know why I want to treat you like a stranger?" Zack poked his teeth using his tongue.

"Why?" he asked coldly, feeling the numbing sensation on his face.

"Because I know that men are nothing but cheap."

She didn't wait for his reply and immediately climbed inside her car.

She grabbed the door handle and closed it with a loud thud.

She stepped on the gas, and the car rapidly moved away from Zack.

Zack stood there, and a dark expression was plastered on his face.

All of a sudden, the phone in his pocket rang.

That moment, he couldn't hold back the anger he was feeling anymore.

So, he took out his ringing phone and smashed it on the ground.

The screen shattered into pieces, and the ringing immediately stopped.

He took out a cigarette, lowered his head, and lit it up.

After a while, his emotions slowly calmed down. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

He bent down to pick up the broken phone, threw it back into the car, and drove away.

Meanwhile, Sean, who had been waiting inside for a long time, was surprised.

"Zack didn't block my number, did he?" he exclaimed as he eyed his dial screen.

When he noticed that Charles wasn't paying attention, Sean kicked the sofa Charles was sitting on.

"Hey, give me your phone."

Scowling, Charles glanced at him before taking out his phone and throwing it towards Sean.

Sean dialed Zack's number on Charles’ phone and called him.

He pressed the phone to his ear.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed cannot be reached; please try again later,’ an automated female voice said.

Sean sighed as he ended the call.He threw the phone back to Charles.

"Guess what? He also blocked your number!"Charles frowned.

"I'm not like you.Why would Zack block me?" Sean shrugged his shoulders.

"Who knows?!" he exclaimed.
