Playing Cute In Front Of My Ex-Husband

Chapter 186 

Alice had a vast social network, so the moment she'd seen the tweets related to Alexa, she immediately sent the screenshots to Katherine.

Seeing Alexa's suffering, Alice couldn't help but chuckle at Katherine's decisiveness.

"Excellent! I thought you only wanted to take care of her! I didn't expect that you would end her as soon as you made a move!"

Katherine smiled as she placed the meatballs on top of the spaghetti and casually remarked, "Well, Nicholas acted fast.Alice, who was on the other end of the line, couldn't help but frown when she heard Katherine mention Nicholas.

"Luke mentioned that Nicholas, that old thug, is not to be trifled with.You must be cautious with him"

Katherine lightly replied, "Whatever.I'll just go with the flow.I believe things will work just fine.”

Alice frowned when she heard Katherine's indifference and asked, "Since when did you give up on yourself like this?"

Katherine raised an eyebrow.

"You think I'm not capable of dealing with Nicholas?"

Alice changed the subject when she realized her concerns were unnecessary.

"Are you sure you're not coming over tonight for dinner?"

Katherine teased, "Yes, so you two can get lost in your own couple world."

Alice exaggeratedly asked, "You won't stay at home and wallow in self-pity, will you?"

Katherine clicked her tongue and commended her, "Not bad, Alice.You even know how to relate some idioms to our simple chat"

"Of course"

Alice said, proudly thumping her chest.

She continued in a confident voice, "I graduated from a top-tier university."

Before Alice could immerse herself in Katherine's compliment, Katherine suddenly said, "Well, although you have a university degree, I didn't expect you to know some idioms" Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Alice was speechless.

Although she felt a sense of humiliation from Katherine, Alice couldn't rebut whatever Katherine, the well-known top student, had said.

After coming back to her senses, Alice aggrievedly said goodbye to the tainted woman.

"I'm going to hang up”

Today was the 31st of the month, a supposed to be a lively and warm celebration that made Katherine lonelier than ever.

The community was buzzing, but it had nothing to do with Katherine.She was on her own.

Meanwhile, Katherine was closed to giving up her New Year's Eve meal.

Since her cooking skills were lacking and being able to prepare a few home-cooked meals was already an achievement on her part alone.

Katherine felt nostalgic seeing the dishes she had prepared in front of her.

It had to be said that she hadn't celebrated the New Year in a long time.

Her most recent recollection was her sitting with her parents in front of the small round table, eating some peanuts while watching television.

In the past, her family was not well off, but they were doing well and quite contented.

Her parents were frugal, and it took them twenty years just to purchase a small house.

However, after two years, they died, leaving her all alone.

Needless to say, Alice had guessed right.

During this happy occasion, Katherine was truly pitiful, facing a table full of dishes that were not even cooked well.

Fortunately, the snow had stopped today.

It came at a suitable moment since the children in the community could now set off the fireworks when the night came.

Katherine finished the last slice of steak and then went to take a shower and sleep after watching the fireworks display for over two hours.

Katherine felt that this day did not differ from the days she had lived before.

It was just that she couldn't suppress the homesickness she was feeling, and she didn't have a home to go back to.

The snow gradually melted the day after the New Year.

Katherine rented a car and went to the cemetery.

Katherine's parents died in the same car accident and were buried next to each other.

After seeing that the two gravestones were covered in a layer of snow, Katherine took out some tissues to wipe them clean.

She then removed the steak she made from its container.She spoke in a teasing voice, "Dad, you were mistaken this time when you thought I wouldn't be able to cook on my own.Now, I can cook steak, and while they aren't as good as Mom's, I had to learn so that I wouldn't go hungry”

Walking on the road would be challenging since it was already past one o'clock.Katherine took a slice of steak from the offering and shoved it into her mouth.

"It doesn't appear appetizing, but it's pretty tasty."

As she said this, Katherine paused for a moment and continued, "But it's a pity that you won't be able to taste it.I remembered you two especially liked a medium-rare steak most, Mom, Dad."

After Katherine finished speaking, she remained silent.She lowered her head and ate the steak one by one.

Her body warmed up after eating, and she sat there quietly.She got up after a bit, patting the snow off her clothes.She sadly murmured, "Dad, mom, I don't have a place I can call home again."

When Katherine said this, her voice was very faint, as if it could be blown away by the wind.

Separated by a stranger's tomb, Zack quietly listened to Katherine's sentiments.

When the chilly wind blew, and his heart seemed to be empty, only coldness and agony were left.
