The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back (Thalassa and Kris) novel Chapter 181

Chapter 181
Before Kris knew what was happening, Zeke grabbed him by the collar of his suit and yanked him away from Thalassa, shoving him with such force that he would have crashed to the floor if the couch hadn’t cushioned his fall.

“Zeke!” Thalassa gasped.

“How dare you lay your filthy hands on her and kiss her?” Zeke raged, the veins on his forehead and neck bulging as though they were about to burst.

“What the hell is your problem?” Kris hissed, pushing himself to his feet. He clenched his fists, wanting to punch the hell out of him, but a pleading look from Thalassa made him hold back.

“No, what’s wrong with *you*?” Zeke shot back. “When will you understand that Thalassa doesn’t want anything to do with you? Now you’re forcing yourself on her?”

He turned to Thalassa, gently cradling her face between his hands. “Are you okay? Did he hurt you?”

The sight of Zeke’s hands on Thalassa made Kris’s blood boil. His jaw tightened as he fought the urge to tear Zeke away. Thalassa wasn’t his—not really—and he couldn’t afford to act rash or possessive around her.

“No, Zeke, Kris didn’t hurt me. He didn’t kiss me against my will,” Thalassa replied calmly. Kris gritted his teeth, frustrated that she wasn’t pulling Zeke’s hands away from her.

“What do you mean he didn’t kiss you against your will? But I saw him grab your face, and—”

“Are you so dense that you can’t understand simple English?” Kris interrupted, his voice low and dangerous. “Thalassa and I are together now. That’s why I have the right to kiss her.”

Zeke’s face hardened with disbelief as he looked at Thalassa again, his eyes shining with denial. “I’m sorry, but this man is clearly delusional. What he’s saying is nonsense, right?”

Thalassa shook her head. “No, Zeke. He’s telling the truth. I’ve decided to give Kris a second chance.”
