Chapter 247

Katherine withdrew her gaze away from Nelson and casually looked down at her watch as she finished
speaking.It was already seven o'clock in the evening, but sadly, she hadn't eaten yet.

What a pity.

Nelson was probably not in the mood to eat, seeing how furious he was.Katherine tilted her head when
she felt Zack's gaze.

Seeing that he was staring at her with a perplexed expression on his face, she raised an eyebrow and
asked, "So, Mr.Colburn also has an advice?"

Zack's eyebrows twitched when he heard a hint of sarcasm in Katherine's voice.

Yet, he said out of nowhere, "No, you're right, though."

Not expecting Zack to be so straightforward, Katherine was speechless for a moment.

How could Nelson be so oblivious to what Zack was implying? His complicated emotions left him in a
foul mood.

For a minute, he was furious with Katherine, yet he was also quite worried about Zack's reaction if he
provoked Katherine.

Although Nelson had lived for nearly 50 years, he had never been humiliated in this way.

He was so unfamiliar with his situation that, for a moment, Nelson was unable to do nor say anything.

In the end, it was still Katherine who remained amicable, concerned that Nelson might accidentally
anger himself to death, so she gave him a way out.



"Since this matter has been clarified and Mr.Cooper must have his own judgment on who is right and
who is wrong.There is no need to say anything else.Anyway, I see that Mr.Cooper is quite angry now.If
you are determined to leave, I won't force you to stay."

Although he was dissatisfied with his situation, Nelson couldn't do anything but follow what Katherine
wanted.

Before leaving, he solemnly said for Zack to hear, "Don't worry, Miss Wilson.I will definitely give you an
explanation regarding this matter!"

With that, Nelson stood up angrily and stared viciously at Katherine.

Though, when his eyes met Zack's, it instantly hid its ferociousness.

Witnessing this, Katherine silently mocked Nelson.

'Tch, what a coward"

Nelson stormed out in anger, leaving Katherine and Zack alone in the room.

Outside, the sky was already as dark as ink.

Famished, Katherine handed the menu to Zack.

Urging him to order his food quickly, Katherine said, "You should know how to order, right?"

For a brief period, Zack was speechless.

He suddenly recalled eating with Katherine at the exotic restaurant a few days before.

As he took the menu, Zack noticed that Katherine had already lowered her head and thoughtfully
ordered.



Before this, Zack hadn't realized that Katherine could easily anger someone to death through her
words.

Nonetheless, for Zack, she was still adorable like this.

Zack dropped his deep gaze and lowered his head to choose two dishes nonchalantly.

Right after Katherine placed her order for a delicious meal, she browsed through her phone.

Sure enough, Alice sent her a message, asking her for updates about meeting Nelson.

Casting a glance at Zack, Katherine told Alice everything that transpired between Nelson and her.

After that, Katherine couldn't help but laugh when she remembered Nelson's leaving figure and told it to
Alice.

Katherine: [Now that he left, Nelson could have gone to take medicine to reduce his blood pressure.]
Yes, Nelson’s countenance had undergone several changes indicating how angry he was.Having
responded to Alice’s message, Katherine raised her head only to meet Zack's intense gaze.She slightly
raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is there something on my face?"

Recalling how Nelson suffered losses in Katherine's hands, Zack said in wonderment, "I had no idea
you were that eloquent."

Katherine smiled humorlessly.

Shrugging her shoulders, she answered, "Well, everyone who knows me knew it."

Zack thought that though they had been married for three years, it was him who didn't know her at all.

Zack was choked by her words.He felt as though his heart had been stabbed a little.



It didn't hurt, but it did make me feel uneasy.

Ignoring his feelings, he said in a very resolute voice, "But I know now."

"Okay."

Katherine responded indifferently but wasn't keen on continuing this topic.

Both of them were silent for a while.

As he couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere, Zack asked in a curious tone, "Are you really close to
Ms.Summer?"

Amused, Katherine retorted, "I'm her special assistant; isn't it natural for me to be familiar with her?"

Zack nodded in agreement.

"Are you free this weekend?"

Regarding this matter, Katherine impatiently answered, "I have answered this question before."

For Zack, she simply had no time to spare.

As if not hearing her impatience, Zack gently replied, "I thought you would give me a different response
today."

Katherine couldn't help but chuckle when she heard this.

"You stated it yourself; it was only your wishful thinking, and you were the only one who thought that
way."

The waiter stopped the serving cart beside their table, and the food was served one by one.



Katherine wiped her fingers again with a towel, scooped up a bowl of soup, and lowered her head to
sip it seriously.

In an elegant manner, she took her time nibbling her meal, not in a rush at all.

It simply created an impression that time passed slowly and that there was no need to hurry.

Looking at the way Katherine ate, Zack unconsciously slowed down his eating.

After they finished their dinner, it was almost eight o'clock.

Katherine elegantly wiped her mouth and looked at Zack, who sat across her.

She informed him, "I'm done eating."

Zack's only answer was, "I'm done as well."

He set the mug down and turned to face her.
