She Left a Loser and Married a Legend novel Chapter 4

Kiera happened to rush out from the bathroom just then. "It's all my fault, Aldy. I shouldn't have wanted to eat some bone broth. Don't blame Thalia…"

Kiera's pale face, suggesting she had just thrown up, and her soft voice made for a frail, vulnerable look. It made Thalia look all the more wretched and hateful.

Only now did Thalia understand what a real actor was! No wonder Alden was utterly entranced by Kiera and that Josephine was tending to Kiera's every need like the latter was some regal queen. Even Thalia had been deceived by Kiera's facade all this time!

Josephine's heart ached. "You're too understanding, Kiera. This is why Thalia is getting more and more unruly."

In the past, Thalia would've been upset for days on end after Josephine said such things. But now, she found herself strangely calm and at ease.

Thalia took a deep breath before smiling politely. "If you really want to eat bone broth, Kiera, you can ask Sheila to make you some. Her bone broth is just as good as mine."

Kiera seemed a little exasperated. "I don't know why, but I just can't stomach food that's cooked by the staff. Maybe the baby only likes bone broth that its aunt cooked."

Kiera then added in a considerate tone, "It's alright. It's not like I have to eat bone broth. I'm sure the baby will be fine with missing one meal."

Thalia nearly applauded at her acting skills. Kiera's words only fanned the burning flames harder.

Josephine's expression was extremely dark at this point. She pointed at Thalia and cried, "You just want to see Kiera suffer, don't you? She's pregnant with our family's only grandchild right now, which makes her invaluable. So, you'd better do as you're told!"

Kiera even cupped her stomach and retched a few times, seemingly following Josephine's tune.

Ignoring Thalia's presence, Alden rushed over and held Kiera up.

He then said to Thalia, "It's just some bone broth, Thalia. It won't take too long to make. Be a good girl, won't you?"

As Thalia gazed at this man, whom she used to love with all her heart, she suddenly felt like all the time and effort she'd spent on him in the past three years wasn't worth it at all.

It was true that the Marquette family had sought out financial aid from the Crestfall family many times throughout the years, but the total sum was no more than 20 to 30 million dollars. It was nothing compared to the 100 million the Marquette family lent the Crestfall family all those years ago.
