Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 3 

Katherine specifically picked out a red strapless dress with embroidery of lotus leaf on the side of the dress from her wardrobe.

Katherine's long hair had almost reached her waist.

She had rolled it into a curl, and it hung loosely behind her back.

She had spent an hour perfecting the makeup on her face.

She put on red lipstick, the same color as her dress made her look very impressive.

"Alexa, I'm going to get a divorce,’’ Katherine informed her Al.

"Master, don't make a mistake.Only when you let go of the wrong person will you get to meet a better one"

"Thank you,’’ Katherine answered.

"Alexa, goodbye."

"Goodbye, Master” Alexa replied.

When Katherine arrived at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, it was 8:50 in the morning.

She had just arrived when Alice called.

"Katherine, have you arrived at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau?"

"I just arrived “ Katherine replied.

"Good! Today is a great day to get rid of that scumbag husband of yours and start a new life! Not far away, Katherine saw that a familiar black car had stopped.” She suddenly didn't want to talk to anyone

anymore.

"Zack is almost here.I need to go” she informed Alice.

"Alright, alright, alright!" Alice replied.

"Let me tell you something.I prepared a super big surprise for you today.I guarantee that you will be able to hold your head high in front of that despicable Zack Colburn!"

"l hope it's not too big of a surprise,’ Katherine added before Alice hung up the phone.

After their phone call ended, Katherine looked at Zack, who was walking towards her.

She smiled coldly and said, "Good morning, Mr.Colburn.Sorry for making you wait."

As she spoke, she handed over the divorce agreement in her hand.

"I know you don't believe the terms I have written on it.Here, it's exactly the same as the last one I have given you.Sign it.When the Civil Affairs Bureau opens this document, and you complete the procedures, you will be completely rid of me."

"Are you serious?" Zack asked.

His expressionless face finally moved.

Katherine looked at him and did not speak.

After a while, she suddenly smiled.

"Zack, I have never told you a bluff before.Of course, I'm serious."

Despite Katherine's persuasion, Zack never believed it.

Zack didn't like seeing Katherine looking at him like this.

She had never treated him this indifferently before.

"The Civil Affairs Bureau is open now” a voice over the speaker announced.

Since she wanted to divorce, then it shall be done.

Katherine's decision would save Zack from any trouble in the future.

At that moment, Katherine heard her heart shatter.

When he asked the question, "Are you serious?"

she actually had some expectations and felt a little hopeful.

She was looking forward to him asking her to stay and was expecting him to refuse to push through with the divorce.

However, he only said, "The bureau is open now” Zack was indeed really heartless.

Katherine stopped smiling and turned around as she walked directly into the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Many married people were around, but only the two of them came for a divorce so early in the morning.

But Katherine's outfit looked more like she was a bride rather than someone getting a divorce, so as soon as the two sat down, the staff in the room looked at them suspiciously.

"A peaceful divorce?"

"Yes,’’ Katherine replied politely.

As she spoke, she gave the staff the necessary documents needed to finalize their divorce.

She had already prepared these a long time ago.

Getting a divorce was faster than getting married.

Both of them had already signed the agreement, and they were only waiting for the Civil Affairs Bureau to have it stamped with a public seal to make it official.

In less than five minutes, the two of them walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Their divorce process was complete.

Zack walked in front of her. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

As soon as he got the divorce certificate, he never looked at her again.

Katherine stopped and looked at his fading figure.

Her heart was in turmoil.

A Maserati suddenly stopped by the side of the road.

The luxury car was too eye-catching not to notice, and Katherine could not help but look.

The sudden distraction made her forget about her sadness a little.

The door of the Maserati was pushed open, and a man with sunglasses came out.

Katherine felt that this man looked familiar.

Before she could react, the man called out her name, "Katherine."

The man who called out to her was Tyler Grant.

Last year, he became famous for being a handsome actor who played in a web drama.

Tyler was tall and had long legs.

He walked up to her in a matter of seconds with his long strides.

"Congratulations on regaining your freedom and getting a new life, Katherine.Alice asked me to come and pick you up"

Katherine felt a headache coming.

‘'So this was the surprise Alice was talking about” she thought.

She faced Tyler and spoke, "I know Alice is impulsive.Do you also do things like her without considering the consequences? Didn't you just finish your new movie? Why are you here? Aren't you afraid that meeting me in a place like this would cost you your career?"

Katherine chastised him.

"Come on, Kathy, don't be angry.Alice said that you just divorced Zack.The Colburn family will probably release the news of your divorce soon.We have to act first and occupy a favorable position in the public's eye so that you won't be named as the abandoned wife of a wealthy family!"

Tyler replied.

He looked indignant.

Katherine was angry yet was somehow amused.

"If that is the case, then I really have to thank you!"

As soon as she finished talking, a group of paparazzi swarmed out towards them.

Tyler reacted quickly and protected Katherine in his arms.

However, his so-called protection was too superficial as it revealed Katherine's face.

Somehow, Katherine knew that this too might be part of Tyler and Alice's plans.

It was unknown which bastard pushed her, but Katherine's entire body crashed into Tyler's arms.

Tyler Grant, the popular idol with tens of thousands of female fans, had a handsome face that was almost tragic.

If Katherine didn't find Tyler attractive, she would be sorry.

She and Zack had been married for three years and yet had never shared such an intimate hug as this.

Tyler's body was pressed tightly against Katherine.

They were so close together that Katherine could smell the faint fragrance coming off Tyler's body.

Katherine's face was so hot that she wanted to come out of his arms.

However, she did not expect Tyler to wrap his arms around her and press her tightly against his chest that she could hear his stable heartbeat.

She could faintly hear the persistent questioning and clicks from the paparazzi's cameras.

She was a little confused, as Tyler had carried her in his arms so suddenly.

In the black sedan, Zack watched the scene outside the car window.

His dark eyes did not move for a long time.

In the front seat, Aidan Hall, Zack's secretary, called out hesitantly, "Mr.Colburn, do you want to help Miss Wilson?"

Just as Aidan finished speaking, Zack withdrew his gaze and looked at him coldly.

"Do you like to meddle in other people's business so much?"

"No, Mr.Colburn.’ Secretary Hall trembled.

Aidan had no choice but to ask the driver to drive.

"Mr.Gibbs, drive."

Aidan wasn't sure if it was only his imagination, but he noticed that Zack's face seemed to have darkened a little.

Zack was indeed in a bad mood.

His wife, no, his ex-wife, had just divorced him less than ten minutes ago, and was she already with a man at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

If this issue got out, wouldn't people think Zack divorced because his wife cheated on him? "Stop the car!"

Zack yelled at the driver.

Zack did not like to wear as someone who got cheated on by his wife.

An issue like that could ruin his reputation.

"Get out of the car and bring Katherine here!"

Zack ordered Aidan in a commanding tone.

Aidan was shocked.

He thought he had heard wrong.

There was no way Mr.Colburn would want to help Miss Wilson after their divorce, but when he turned around and saw the man in the back seat with a heavy and troubled gaze, Aidan hurriedly pushed open the door and got out of the car.

He walked towards Katherine and the man who was surrounded by reporters.
