Liam clicked his tongue and stared Zack down without flinching, saying indifferently, "If my memory
serves me right, Mr.Colburn, you are Katherine's ex-husband, correct?"
For Zack, hearing the word "ex" was quite painful, as though his heart was breaking into pieces.
Nonetheless, Zack seemed to not understand Liam’s insinuation at all.
"Why? Does this have anything to do with me, liking Katherine?"he inquired lightly.
This was the second time tonight that Zack said unequivocally that he liked Katherine.
If this was the first time, maybe he could still take back whatever he said.
Anyway, it was still acceptable if Zack said that he liked her as a person. But upon hearing this "like" for
a second time, as long as one didn’t have any brain issues, it was evident to them that Zack liked
Katherine like a man loving and being devoted to his woman.
Zack had triggered Liam at this point.
In a solemn tone, Liam explained, "There is no conflict, but since Mr.Colburn is already an ex-husband,
you must understand that when you say things like this about Katherine, it is not appropriate.Moreover,
Katherine's choice to divorce you had nothing to do with whether you liked her or not."
Liam was indeed an expert when it came to love.
He easily pointed out the main issue between Zack and Katherine in just a few words, and each word
directly pounded Zack’s heart.
Zack couldn't even refute Liam's remark.He then gave Katherine a sidelong glance.
Throughout their exchange, Katherine stood still beside Liam with a faint expression on her face, as if
the person Zack had confessed to several times wasn't her.
Katherine was apathetic as if she was watching a show, seeing him and Liam exchange blows.
Yet, in the end, it still had nothing to do with her.
Katherine's reaction amplified Zack’s anguish.He couldn't help but go back to what she said that day,
making his heart sink.
God knew that Zack didn't intentionally do this to embarrass Katherine in front of so many people.He
simply...couldn't keep his cool.
Furthermore, Zack knew that Katherine would probably not care about why he was acting like this.
She only knew that what he did embarrass her and caused her trouble tonight.
Zack's chest constricted as he thought of this.
"Mr.Liam is right.This is only my wishful thinking,"
Zack resignedly muttered as he looked deeply at Katherine's eyes.
Then, Zack sighed and said to Katherine, "I'm sorry."
Although he didn't do it on purpose, Zack made her feel uneasy once again.
Katherine directly looked at Zack as she heard his apologies.
Then she casually said, "I hope Mr.Colburn will be more careful when saying things like that in the
future."
Although Katherine spoke casually, her words were enough to send Zack straight to hell.
Zack's thin lips trembled a little.
He wanted to speak up to explain himself, but everything he had to say seemed unacceptable and
lacking.
In the end, Zack could only nod and reply, "Okay."
Such a high and formidable man, but now that he was in front of Katherine, Zack chose to humble
himself and complied with whatever Katherine said.
Seeing Zack act like this, Sean was a little saddened.
Not to mention the guests watching their exchange, Chloe, who was standing on the side, was so
enraged that she was gnashing her teeth.
When Natalie, who was standing next to Chloe, noticed this, her smile was about to fall if not for her
keeping her facade.
When was the last time Zack, this man, bowed to others? But today, for Katherine, Zack not only
confessed in public that he liked her but also said that their relationship was one-sided.
And Katherine, this woman, told him to be more careful with his words in the future.
If he wasn't upset, that was good, but Zack genuinely answered in such a humble manner?! The bag
that Natalie was tightly gripping was on the verge of breaking.
What spell did Katherine cast on Zack for him to follow her words so religiously? Of course, Natalie
wasn't the only woman present who was perplexed, unwilling, and even angered.
Zack was a "husband material" that many of Y City's wealthy and powerful daughters couldn't get
however hard they tried to pursue him.
When Zack married Katherine, most of the affluent and powerful daughters banded together to mock
and criticize her, regardless of their prior grievances with each other.
Other than those who had already married and had children, many ladies began their quest once again
when they learned that Zack had divorced Katherine.
Not to mention the assets behind Zack; simply based on his appearance and physique, they would
jump at the chance to spend the night with him, even if it was only for a night!
