Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband
Chapter 1

Chapter 1 

"Hey, sister-in-law, what are you doing? Are you running away from home?"

Just as Katherine Wilson walked down to the second floor with her suitcase in tow, she heard Chloe'ssarcastic voice from across the room.

Katherine ignored her and glanced at Chloe indifferently.

She continued to walk downstairs with her suitcase.

Coincidentally, as she arrived on the first floor, she met Zack Colburn’s mother again.

This wealthy lady, Victoria Colburn, looked at her with disdain.

Mrs.Colburn had always looked down on Katherine.

"Where are you going so early in the morning with a suitcase?" her mother-in-law asked.

After three years of having Victoria as her mother-in-law, how could Katherine not know that Victoriawas preparing to ridicule her? If it were in the past, Katherine would apologize for her rude behaviortowards Mrs.Colburn.

However, the present was different from the past.

She did not want Zack anymore.

Apparently, Zack's mother, who was old and temperamental, was more difficult to deal with.

"I can go anywhere I want.And don't worry, Mrs.Colburn, I will never come back to this family again."Katherine replied.

She changed from her typical gentle demeanor to being a coldhearted woman.

Although her words sounded neutral, her eyes did not show the usual flattery.

Instead, her eyes looked bleak and distant.

Mrs.Colburn was very unaccustomed to her daughter-in-law suddenly talking back like this.

She knew Katherine as someone who would never act so disrespectfully.

Mrs.Colburn's face immediately sank, "Katherine, is this how you treat your elders?"

"I will treat you the way you treat me,’’ Katherine boldly replied.

Katherine raised her beautiful eyebrows, and the inexplicable arrogance and coldness that surroundedKatherine at this moment made Mrs.Colburn angry.

"Katherine, do you still consider me as your mother-in-law?"

Hearing this, Katherine glanced at Mrs.Colburn and then smiled.

"I'm sorry, but soon you won't be my mother-in-law anymore.'' Just as she finished speaking, the soundof a car horn came from outside the villa.

Katherine raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm leaving, Mrs.Colburn.

I don't want to take with me the things I left in the room.

You can deal with them however you like.

I don't care if you throw them away or burn them.

I will only ask you for one thing, don't contact me again in the future.

As she spoke, she slowly dragged her suitcase and spat out a sentence as she walked out, "TheColburn family is too disgusting."

Mrs.Colburn had not yet recovered from when Katherine spoke the words, "soon, you won't be mymother-in-law anymore" then Mrs.Colburn heard that sentence.

She was so angry that she exploded, "Katherine, are you crazy? Do you believe that I will tell Zackabout..."

Mrs.Colburn was unable to finish what she was about to say as Chloe interrupted.

"Mom, can you believe what that woman Katherine did? What a joke! This morning, she actuallydragged her suitcase,’ Chloe spoke to her mother and laughed.

"She didn't deliberately pass in front of me.Does she think I would keep her? No way!"

Chloe continued as she walked out of the villa.

When Chloe saw her mother standing there without moving, she couldn't help but pull her sleeve.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Mrs.Colburn had a complicated expression on her face.

In the past, whenever Mrs.Colburn mentioned Zack's name, Katherine would immediately become veryobedient.

But today, Katherine acted so differently.

Mrs.Colburn couldn't believe Katherine's actions.

Katherine actually left without looking back, which shocked Mrs.Colburn so much.

She looked like she had seen a ghost.

Outside their door, Mrs.Colburn could see a sports car driving away.

She walked out of the door and only saw the shadow of the vehicle.

"She...she left?" Chloe stuttered.

Chloe followed and curled the corners of her mouth.

"She left, she just left," Chloe said repeatedly.

"After all, Natalie is back.I mean, I see no difference if she leaves now or later anyway.My brother willpush her away eventually"

Mrs.Colburn thought that what Chloe had said made sense.

The youngest daughter of the Cooper family, Natalie, was back in the country.

Katherine made the sensible decision to ask for divorce first.

Katherine was sitting on her Porsche while flipping through the divorce agreement in her hand.

After reading its contents, she signed her name with satisfaction.

Alice Jensen, who was driving at the side, saw Katherine sign her divorce papers nonchalantly andlightly clicked her tongue.

‘Is it really that simple?"

"Why won't it be simple?"

Katherine simply replied as she returned the cap on her pen.

When Zack's greatest love returned, there was no chance that Katherine could ever gain his love.

It had been three years, which was neither a long nor a short time.

Katherine thought that no matter how cold Zack was towards her, he must have developed somefeelings for her after all the time they were together.

But Zack did not have any feelings for Katherine.

His heart had always belonged to Natalie.

Katherine remembered her actions in the past and felt a bit shameless.

Back then, she had threatened Zack to marry her, and since then, Katherine had taken the title ofMrs.Colburn for three years.

Now that Natalie Cooper had returned, Katherine naturally had to surrender and give up her position.

Otherwise, how could she be worthy of Zack, someone whom she had never had sex with even thoughthey had been married for three years? This matter had to be kept a secret.

Otherwise, those who mocked Katherine for trying to transform her life for the last three years wouldridicule her even more for being divorced.

‘‘Three years was enough.It could be considered as worthy of her seven years of unrequited love”Katherine thought to herself.

She raised her hand to cover her eyes, blocking her tears, not letting Alice see.

Katherine, after all, was still a woman.

No matter how unbothered she may appear to be she too have felt the pain of having an unrequitedlove.

Ten years of liking someone only to end up like this, anyone would feel hurt.

The red sports car they were driving came to a halt.

Alice lifted the sunglasses on her face and said, "Katherine, we're here.Go ahead, you know I willsupport you forever, right?"

After Alice finished speaking, she sent a flying kiss towards Katherine.

"Alright, I'm going to the battlefield" Katherine said confidently.

Alice's words had given her the strength to continue.

However, it was still difficult to throw the divorce agreement before Zack in a domineering manner thatKatherine would have wanted.

Katherine took the agreement and pushed open the door of the car.

She had been married for three years to Zack.This was not the first time she had come to Q City.

Of course, it was not the first time she had been treated in a perfunctory manner by the front desk.

"Miss Katherine, if you don't have an appointment, you can't go up.Mr.Colburn is very busy.If anyonecan just go up without an appointment, what is the use of having a front desk, right?" the personnelsarcastically said.

Katherine realized that even Zack's employees didn't treat her with respect.

Even the front desk personnel gave her a hard time.

It had been three years since she married Zack.

No one in this office called her as Mrs.Colburn.

Needless to say, in the end, Zack didn't really care much about her.

Katherine lowered her eyes and chuckled.

"Zack's employee training is indeed atrocious.Why should his wife have to set an appointment to meethim? It seems that having the title 'Mrs.Colburn’ is meaningless, right?"

Katherine spoke sarcastically back at the employee.

She glanced coldly at the front desk and walked directly to the elevator in her high heels disregardingthe employee's prior instructions.

It was the first time that the front desk employee saw Katherine like this.

She was stunned for a moment and reacted with a sneer.

Seeing this, the employee was afraid that something terrible would happen, so she called Mr.Colburn towarn him in advance.

Before Katherine arrived at Zack's office, he already knew that she was coming.

"No, he said with a frown.”

"You still have a short meeting in five minutes, Mr.Colburn,'' the secretary responded simply and left.

Just as she came out of the office, she saw Katherine walking over in high heels.

Today, Katherine was wearing a white dress today which made her look very gentle and dignified.

Katherine looked gentle and dignified.

For some reason, when the secretary looked over, she felt that Katherine looked different today.

"Secretary Hall, Katherine took the initiative to greet him.”

Without waiting for him to speak, she raised her hand and pushed open the door to Zack's office.

"Excuse me, Mr.Colburn, I have an agreement that I need you to sign” Katherine said coldly.

As she spoke, she walked over to the piercing gaze of the man in front of the desk.

She raised her hand and placed the divorce agreement in front of him, and without any hesitation, shesaid, "Sign it"
