She Left a Loser and Married a Legend novel Chapter 6

Henrietta hurriedly went over to help Thalia up. "You poor thing. Are you hurt? Come and let me have a look."

Thalia got up from the floor, shaking her head. "I'm fine, Grandma. Don't worry."

No amount of bodily pain Thalia was experiencing right now could match the despair swelling in her heart.

Henrietta's heart ached for Thalia, seeing how kind and considerate she was. "My poor, darling Lia. Don't worry. I'll keep you safe as long as I'm still breathing. Even if Kiera does give birth to a son, I still won't let her take over our family."

Thalia held Henrietta's hand, feeling incredibly touched. "Thank you for being so kind to me, Grandma."

Henrietta was the only person in this family who genuinely cared for Thalia.

She was always the first to leap into action the moment anything happened to the Marquette family. Alden would never have helped the Marquette family in the first place if Henrietta hadn't stood up for them all those years ago.

With Henrietta around, Josephine didn't dare act out of line toward Thalia, no matter how much Josephine hated Thalia, either. All Josephine could do was poke around behind Thalia's back to try to get back at her.

So, when Henrietta went to Windspire Manor for the summer, Josephine ended up treating Thalia like a maid in order to please Kiera.

Thalia had endured it all because she didn't want to make things difficult for Alden.

Who knew Alden and Josephine would cross the line today, all because of some stupid bone broth?

After chatting with Henrietta for some time, Thalia lost her desire to head out. So, she went back to her room upstairs.

A video of Alden and Josephine accompanying Kiera in the hospital for her checkup was then sent to Thalia's phone.

In the video, Alden carefully supported Kiera's weight. Whenever someone walked past and nearly bumped into Kiera, Alden would quickly shield her for fear she might get hurt.

The two even leaned in close to whisper to one another sometimes. They were so intimate with each other that it was as if they were a married couple.

Meanwhile, Josephine was busy checking and retrieving the doctor's reports. There was not an ounce of the harshness she always showed Thalia on her face. Instead, Josephine looked incredibly caring and attentive.

Then, Thalia received a call from her best friend, Elowen Hartleigh. She was the one who'd sent Thalia the video.

The moment Thalia answered the call, Elowen cried out in anger. "I happened to bump into Alden and Kiera today when I was on my shift. Alden and his mother were so attentive to Kiera it almost made me wonder if Alden was the baby's father instead!"

Thalia chuckled mockingly. "He probably is."

Josephine had wanted a grandchild for so long. Now that Kiera was pregnant, Josephine wasn't going to give a damn as to who the child's father was. All that mattered to Josephine was that she had a grandchild now.

"By the way, have you brought up the topic of divorce to Alden yet? Has he signed the papers?" Elowen asked.

"I didn't mention it to him yet," Thalia said expressionlessly.

Elowen felt anxious for Thalia. "Why not? Alden's a filthy, vile piece of shit. Do you plan to wait until New Year's or something?"

"Alden still needs our marriage to shield his affair with Kiera. He's not going to agree to a divorce if I bring it up right now," Thalia explained.

Based on Josephine's personality, she was bound to start looking for other women for Alden to marry once Thalia divorced him.

Thalia was "obedient" and "easy to manipulate", hence she was the perfect shield for Kiera and Alden. If someone else took Thalia's place, the pair of cheaters wouldn't have things nearly as easy as they did now.

Elowen gave it some thought before agreeing with Thalia. "Well, what do you do now, then? You can't just let this drag on, can you?"

Thalia's eyes glinted coldly as she gazed at Kiera and Alden onscreen. "Alden did accidentally sign the divorce agreement earlier today, so let's just wait for it to take effect."

"That works, too." Elowen consoled her friend. "I'm off duty tonight. Let's grab a drink together!"

"Alright," Thalia agreed without hesitation.
