Chapter 190 - He Is My Ex-boyfriend (1/2)

On the other hand, Katherine was about to snatch his phone away, but her face became pale as her eyes darted towards the entrance of the room. She could recognize that face even in her sleep as it was the face who was responsible for her countless sleepless nights.

She tried to calm herself down but failed. Her breath was becoming short with each second as she looked at him. Her eyes were becoming teary as she remembered that unfortunate night. Seven years of her selflessness ended like that. Even though she had moved on and she was more than thankful to the heavens above for having Scott as her partner, but it still hurt.

Scott, who was waiting for his phone to be snatched away, felt her grip getting loose on his phone. He turned his head so that he could face her. He was about to let out a teasing remark but stopped himself from doing so when he saw her glazy eyes. He quietly observed her face while pursing her lips. Realizing that she was looking somewhere else, he followed her line of sight only to be greeted by the sight of a man.

The man was dressed eloquently and was laughing wholeheartedly over something his partner had said. The woman in his arms was a beauty herself, dressed in a bright red halter neck dress which hugged her almost perfect figure. Her alluring figure was drawing the attention of the male species present there as her dress, which was stuck to her skin, didn't leave much to imagine.

He quietly shifted his eyes back to his woman only to find a complicated expression marring the flawless beauty of her face. There was no longing on her face but he could see hurt evident in her eyes. He could clearly guess of who that person could be.

Her pained expression from their first meeting was still fresh in his memory. He remembered how she avoided him every time he made a move on her. He remembered those hesitant eyes when he asked her to trust her. He remembered how unwilling she was to be with him after knowing the truth about his identity.

He let out a long sigh after reminiscing past. 'You have hurt her enough. Not anymore, and not on my watch.' He moved his eyes back to his woman and patted her softly, careful of his actions.

Katherine blinked a couple of times as she came back to the present. Feeling a little pressure on the back of her head, she turned her attention to the man who was responsible for it.

”I'm sorry.” She apologized while trying to avoid his heated gaze. She thought that he would inquire her about her lost state, but nothing of the sort happened.

”What are you apologizing for?” He smiled at her and patted her head once again.

”H-he is my-y ex-boyfriend.” She muttered softly. Even though he hadn't questioned her, it was his right to know about it. That is the reason why she decided to be forthcoming about it.

”I know.” He replied shortly.

”You know?” She was a bit shocked when she saw how relaxed he seemed.

”I can tell.” He knocked on her forehead.

”Katty, I expected better than you.” Stella who was silently observing them from the sidelines, finally decided to speak her mind.

Katherine and Scott, who were lost in their own world, finally realized that they were not alone.

”Shut up, Stella.” Scott reprimanded her like he would do to a small child for acting out of her place.

”Hey, I am just saying what's the truth. First of all, he's not that good looking. Secondly, one look at him and even a blind person could tell the kind of pervert he is.” Stella rolled her eyes before popping a cracker in her mouth.
