Alice called early in the morning.
Katherine's head hurt from sleep deprivation and hangover.
With her eyes closed, her forehead wrinkled, and her voice raised, she said, "What the hell is the matter, Alice?"
In three years which felt like an eternity, Katherine was gentle and submissive to the Colburn family.
Now that her relationship with their son was finally over, she sounded like a beast that had just been released from its cage.
She was free and enraged yet utterly restless.
How could she still be patient? Alice should be glad that she was not talking to Katherine in person at this moment.
"Did I wake you up?"
Katherine rolled her eyes, rubbed her temples, and got up from the bed.
"Oh come on, Alice, just say it!"
Alice immediately went straight to the point, "Well, Katherine, I called to tell you the breaking news.Your ex-husband has just been found to be having an affair.Gossips about whether you guys are cheating on each other and will divorce peacefully are all over the entertainment network” Katherine was stunned for a moment.
The news seemed to have completely woken her up now.
"You just said that he's my ex-husband.You don't have to disturb my sleep just to tell me about Zack, Alice.’
"I'm sorry, Katherine.Go on, sleep some more.I'll hang up now”
The hang-up tone could be heard from the other end of the line shortly after.
Katherine threw her phone on the bed and her head back onto the pillow.
But Alice's words echoed inside her head.
How could she fall back to sleep now? Katherine felt a little agitated.
She needed to relax, so she called the maid.
"Prepare a warm bath.’ The maid immediately obliged.
‘I'll do it now, Ma'am."
Katherine stepped into the bathroom in her slippers.
The woman in the mirror had messy hair.
Her skin looked dry from the cocktail she consumed last night.
She stared at her reflection a little longer with displeasure as though she were reflecting on her actions.
She just got divorced.
It was not worth it to neglect herself for that.
Half an hour later, Katherine browsed on her phone the gossip and news about her ex-husband and his affair.
She would deceive herself if she said that it did not affect her whatsoever.
