She Left a Loser and Married a Legend novel Chapter 3

"Alden!" Thalia couldn't help but call out to him. She hadn't expected things to go so smoothly.

Alden looked back, pulling his phone away from his ear. "What is it?"

Thalia was about to say something when she recalled how Alden and Kiera still needed this marriage as a shield for their illicit relationship. He was bound to refuse any notion of divorce right now. Plus, the divorce agreement might even be nullified.

After weighing all the odds, Thalia decided to wait for another opportunity to arise.

"It's nothing. You go on ahead," she said.

Alden didn't waste a single second and marched out of the bedroom right away.

Thalia's expression went cold and hard. She then tossed the roses in the trash bin.

She packed the divorce agreement into her bag and went downstairs, only to hear Alden's mother, Josephine Marwood's, voice.

"Oh, dear. What do we do? The baby won't be able to get its proper nutrients if you're not able to keep your food down."

Thalia didn't want to bother with Josephine, so she marched right out the front door without pause.

"Stop right there," Josephine called out, stopping Thalia in her tracks. "Thalia, Kiera here hasn't had a good appetite lately. But she wants to eat bone broth cooked by you, so go and make some right now."

Josephine had always wanted grandchildren. On the day Thalia married Alden, Josephine had made it clear to Thalia that whichever daughter-in-law of hers gave her a grandchild first would become the family's matriarch.

Now that Kiera was pregnant and her husband, Aaron, had died in an accident, the baby in Kiera's belly became the only offspring Josephine's eldest son would ever sire. Josephine naturally devoted all her time and attention to this baby.

Josephine had carefully tended to Kiera for the past six months, fearful that she might get injured in any way. Josephine was even the one who'd permitted Alden to accompany Kiera to her ultrasound scans.

Meanwhile, Thalia hadn't gotten pregnant even once throughout her three years of marriage to Alden. Additionally, the Marquette family's strength had been waning, too. As a result, Josephine had gotten increasingly dissatisfied with Thalia and was getting harsher with her words.

Ever since her pregnancy, Kiera had started to get more nauseous. She didn't have much of an appetite for anything and only enjoyed the bone broth Thalia made.

Josephine would then have Thalia make this dish for Kiera every few days.

Thalia had naturally become Kiera's caretaker of sorts due to pitying her after Aaron passed away. But now that Kiera and Alden's affair had been revealed to Thalia, Thalia no longer needed to strain herself further.

"I'm busy today." Thalia refused without hesitation.
