I Divorced You Now You Beg (Thalia and Darion) novel Chapter 422

Chapter 422

“Hold this for a sec. I need to make a call,” Darion said, handing Thalia the popcorn.

He walked ahead, holding the soda in one hand and his phone in the other.

Thalia lowered her gaze, staring at the popcorn in her arms. ‘We’re not kids anymore. Does he really think I can’t see what he’s up to?’ she thought.

She pushed her thoughts aside and followed him into the theater.

She wasn’t really in the mood to eat, and honestly, popcorn didn’t appeal to her either. Her attention was locked on the movie.

From time to time, she heard crunching sounds coming from her side. She couldn’t help but glance over.

Darion was happily munching away on the popcorn.

‘Alright then,’ Thalia thought.

‘Figures, he was the one craving popcorn.’

She silently shifted her gaze back to the screen and continued watching the movie.

The animated film was heartwarming. The lovable protagonist went on adventures, overcame difficult obstacles, reconciled with their partner, and came to truly understand each other. Thalia was completely absorbed.

By the time the credits rolled, she felt noticeably more relaxed, both mentally and physically.

As the other moviegoers started to file out, Thalia lingered in her seat, reluctant to leave.

Darion didn’t get up either. The popcorn in his lap was already half gone, and his soda was finished. When the theater had mostly cleared out, he glanced at her and asked, “What are you thinking about?”

Thalia lowered her gaze and spoke softly, “What’s your next move? Mind letting me in on it?” Without saying a word, Darion picked up a piece of popcorn and offered it right up to her lips.

He stayed silent, but it was obvious he wanted her to take a bite.

The smell of popcorn lingered in the air. Thalia stared at it for a while, then finally reached out and took it from him.

Darion said quietly, “As long as you stick with me, nothing’s going to happen to you.”

Thalia asked, “Why?”

She fiddled with the piece of popcorn, looking at him in confusion.

Darion gave a quiet laugh. “Because no one would dare mess with me out in the open.”

Thalia looked even more confused. “Why are they so wary of you? Who are you, really”

She suddenly recalled that Quinn knew Darion. ‘Does he have his own power base overseas too? she wondered.

Darion shifted closer, a teasing look flickering in his eyes. “So, you’re curious about me? Worried about me. huh?”

Thalia was at a loss for words.

She stood up, tossed the crushed popcorn back into the bucket, and walked out, not bothering to reply.

‘Seriously, this guy is impossible!’ Thalia thought.

Darion’s low chuckle drifted over from behind her. “Why won’t you just admit it? It’s not like caring about me is anything to be embarrassed about.”

Thalia replied in a flat tone, “Sure, I care. Just don’t drop dead, alright? If you do, who’s going to see this deal through?”

“Guess I do hold some place in your heart,” Darion said, closing the distance in a few strides, acting like he didn’t even notice her sarcasm. “You’re worried about me. I like that.”
