The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back (Thalassa and Kris) novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174
Thalassa's plan to return that night was derailed by another storm. But deep down, she was grateful for the delay, because it meant she got to spend more time with Alex.

Thankfully, Kris didn’t show up outside the gate like he had the day before, which would have forced her to let him in again.

However, that didn’t stop him from sending her a series of texts from a different number, telling her how much he missed her, how he couldn’t stop thinking about their night together, and how he planned to make her the happiest woman on earth when she gave him another chance.

‘When’, not ‘if’. Every time she read one of those messages, she felt a few bricks fall from the walls she’d built around her heart.

The following morning, she flew back to Baltimore. After dropping off her luggage at the house, she headed to the office, texting Luisa to let her know she was back.

A few minutes later, her office door swung open. Thalassa stood up, and they embraced.

“I can’t believe I missed you this much when you were only gone for three days. The house felt so empty,” Luisa said, releasing her.

“I missed you too,” Thalassa replied.

“Liar.” Luisa rolled her eyes and dropped into one of the visitor chairs. “How’s my nephew doing?”

“He’s growing so much, Luisa. You should see him.”

“I still can’t believe Betty pulled that prank on you—pretending Alex was sick just to make you rush back to New York.” Luisa chuckled, shaking her head.

Thalassa smiled. She had been annoyed with the nanny at first, but that feeling quickly faded.

“She did it because she knew Alex missed me. And I’m grateful she did. I had missed him so much, too.”

She sighed wistfully. It had taken all her willpower to say goodbye to Alex again and return to Baltimore, but she knew it was for the best.
