Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband

When Katherine was almost done eating, she took one last sip of her wine and said, "Okay, that's it for me.Thank you for this
meal, Mr.Lewis...Mr.Colburn."
She nodded as she slowly made her way out of the table.
Katherine took the bill and planned to pay for their meal, but Zack reached out, grabbed her wrist, and said, "Wait!"
Katherine slightly raised her eyebrows as she stared at Zack's grip on her wrist.
The smile on her face faded a little as she asked in confusion, "Mr.Colburn?"
Zack slowly loosened his grip, snatched the bill from Katherine's hand, and gave it to Sean, saying, "This is his treat."
Sean, who was still munching on his seafood pasta, looked up at Zack and was about to refuse but was held up by Zack's
warning glare.
A glare that could give goosebumps to anyone who had seen it.
Katherine glanced at Zack and finally turned her full attention to Sean.
She said with a smile, "Well, thank you, Mr.Lewis.It was such a treat.Katherine was impressed with what Sean did because she
was used to always being the one to pay the bill.She decided to savor the moment of having Sean's grand gesture secretly.
She wouldn't turn this down, of course!
"You're welcome" Sean replied with a forced smile.
But when he met Zack's eyes, his mouth secretly twitched.
This was too much.
Zack didn't even give him the chance to refuse.
He was powerless! Katherine took her bag and made her way out of the restaurant.
Zack followed her but kept a safe distance.
She didn't speak, and he didn't speak either.

They both walked towards the car park.
When Katherine finally found her car, she halted and stood in the driver's side, turned to Zack, and asked in bewilderment, "What
do you want, Mr.Colburn?"
"I haven't brought my car with me.Would you give me a ride home?" Zack said that like he never had the intention to bother her,
but his expression was not apologetic at all.
Katherine was getting angry and sarcastically said, "Zack, that line may have worked with other girls, but please spare me.Do
you think you can fool me that easy? Are you that stupid?"
"Yes"
Zack said that without even thinking.
Katherine didn't expect that someone as high mighty as Zack would frankly admit that he was stupid.
For a moment there, it left her speechless.
As a car drove by, Katherine slightly pursed her lips and said, "I'm sorry, but I have to go’
"I'll drive” Zack offered as he insisted.
Katherine was starting to feel pissed.It seemed that Zack didn't hear everything that she had just said.
Her face suddenly turned serious as she looked up at him and said, "Zack, I am serious."
There were some things that could be said once, but if someone said it the second time, it only meant that they would find it hard
to go back on their word in the future.
"Who said I was not, Katherine?"
Zack stared at her with so much intensity that it could melt anyone's heart and softly said, "I hope you can give me another
chance."
In the past, it was very easy to fool her, but now that she had learned a lot, she wasn't easy to please anymore.
Katherine looked at him.

Her heart was calm.
People would tend to become desperate when they had experienced a lot of disappointments in their lives.
Some of them would have lost their hopes after such experiences.
Katherine had walked away from those years of innocence and false hopes, and now Zack wanted her to jump back into her old
self again! Of course, that would not be possible even in his wildest dreams.
"I'm sorry, Zack, but I cannot give it to you."
With that being said, she opened the car door and went inside.
Zack pursed his lips.
Before Katherine drove away, he approached her car and slowly knocked on her window.
The distance between the parking spaces was too narrow, and from where Zack was standing, it seemed that he didn't care that
she could hit him if she wanted to.
Katherine was now starting to get annoyed.
She briskly lowered the window and asked, "Mr.Colburn, what do you want?!"
"Please let me ride with you"
He didn't open the car door, and he didn't move at all.He just stood there and waited.
Katherine coldly stared at him.
They fought with a staring battle for about two seconds.
Finally, she conceded and faced straight ahead.
"Fine..." she muttered through gritted teeth.
It was a good thing that he didn't stop persuading her.
She finally backed down.

Zack walked around the car and got into the passenger seat as he wished.
He tilted his head and looked at Katherine, who was in the driver's seat.
She didn't speak, and there was no smile on her face as she focused on driving.No one said a single word, and the atmosphere
was a little depressing.
Still, the car gradually drove off and got on the road.
Zack glanced at Katherine again and decided to break the silence by saying, "We met nine years ago"
