Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband

Katherine slept until eleven o'clock the following day.When she opened her eyes, the light was streaming in through the gaps
between the partially-closed curtains.She narrowed her eyes and called out to the Al Assistant, ‘Alexa, open the window’ After a
few seconds with no reply or movement, Katherine realized that she was now in C City, not Y City.
She had been quite accustomed to her life in Y City and had yet to get used to the situation in C City.
The temperature in C City was lower than in Y City.
Today was a rare warm and sunny day, and the sun was shining brightly outside.
Katherine finished a bowl of instant noodles, grabbed a book, and sat on the LA-Z-BOY recliner on the balcony.She was leisurely
rocking and reading.
Needless to say, this life was quite pleasant and comfortable.
A day flew by just like that.
Alice was scheduled to film on set the next day, so she called and chattered with Katherine.She talked nonstop before boarding,
hounding her for the nitty-gritty of recent events.
In the end, she realized that she couldn't rely on someone as aloof and indifferent as Katherine to remember her.
"Why did you only reply to my message so late last night?"
"l couldn't hail a cab” Katherine explained.
"If you've waited for more than half an hour, why didn't you tell me that you couldn't get a ride? Were you hanging out with
someone else last night behind my back? Otherwise, why didn't you call me and ask me to pick you up? You're not saying
anything, which means you're agreeing.I guessed right, didn't I? Oh my God! Katherine, you're quite capable now” Alice
blabbered, interrogating Katherine.
Katherine couldn't stand her wayward thoughts, so she blurted out, "Something happened."
"What happened? Did the Walker family send people to harass you?"Alice asked, her tone full of worry.
Katherine clicked her tongue in amusement, "Well, I must say, you have become smarter than last year."

Alice was astounded.
"...No wonder.The hospital's WiFi should be good.I think both of our voices are quite smooth so they can enjoy the
entertainment.Were they injured badly? How much did we lose? Did you have to spend a fortune on medical fees?"
‘I can't believe she even thought about the hospital” Katherine thought in amusement.
Katherine raised her eyebrows and retorted, "Do I look like such a violent person?"
‘Am I really capable of sending someone to the hospital?’ Katherine wondered.
"I think you can drop the words ‘look like” Alice gibed.
Katherine was rendered speechless.
After a brief moment, she uttered, "...I'm hanging up."
Alice hurriedly called out, "Don't! You haven't told me what happened yet!"
Katherine chuckled and answered sarcastically, "How could I? You did all the talking’
Although she didn't give Alice the details, she had already told her the outcome.What else did she have to add?
"I was kidding.I knew you'd be fine even though they attacked you,"Alice assented.
"Oh, then I might have done something that you won't dare to believe” Katherine added.
Last night, she drank two glasses of red wine and was feeling gloomy.
In addition to the two glasses of red wine, the Walker family decided to mess with her.
Unfortunately, they chose to target her yesterday when she was in such a dour mood.
Alice snorted.
"Then you underestimate me too much.Do you think I don't understand you?"
Katherine curled her lips in satisfaction as she recounted the events of the previous night.

"Last night, Nicholas sent someone to kidnap me.After I defeated him, I went to Walker's house with a baseball bat and smashed
all the priceless antiques in the living room and study."
Alice was bewildered by what Katherine shared.
‘My dear friend, you are so ruthless!!!’ Alice thought in astonishment.
"Are you okay?" Alice asked in concern.
Alice knew that Katherine was not lying.
Having recalled what Luke told her about the members of the Walker family, Alice suddenly felt a little worried and stopped joking
with her.
"Zack was also there last night,'' revealed Katherine.
Alice was surprised to hear this and was tongue-tied.She soon regained her senses and asked, "...Have you rekindled your old
romance?"
Katherine laughed in annoyance.
"Did the language teacher teach you that?"
Alice hurriedly replied, "That's not the point.The point is, why were you with Zack again?"
"You might not believe me when I say it was pure coincidence that we met."
"Then please tell me, I will believe whatever you say!"
Katherine pursed her lips and briefly narrated how Zack had followed her yesterday.
As soon as Katherine finished speaking, Alice burst out in anger on the other end of the line, "ls Zack shameless? He is truly
shameless! You are shameless! That jerk! He wants to woo you back!"
"I don't know if Zack is a jerk or not, but I'm not someone he can easily win back"
Katherine assured her.

She was not stupid to get back together with him.
"That's good to hear! You must keep your word! Ugh, I'm about to board the plane! I have to go now.Let's talk once I get there!"
When Alice finished speaking, she was met with silence on the other end of the line.
