The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back (Thalassa and Kris) novel Chapter 198

Chapter 198
Thalassa’s body went rigid the moment Zeke’s lips touched hers, completely caught off guard. His lips moved softly over hers, as if pleading for a response.

But she couldn’t. Her body refused to respond.

Bracing her hands against his chest, she gently pushed him back. “Zeke, what are you doing?”

Zeke looked at her, his face flushed, partly from embarrassment and partly from hope.

“Something I’ve been wanting to do ever since I met you,” he whispered, feeling breathless from how hard his heart was pounding.

He studied her, trying to gauge her emotions, but what he found wasn’t what he expected.

“You don’t even look that surprised,” he said with a short, awkward chuckle. “Was I that bad at hiding my feelings for you?”

“Zeke...” Thalassa began, fumbling for the right words.

She hadn’t expected Zeke to kiss her, nor had she ever thought he saw her as anything more than a friend. Yet, strangely, she didn’t feel entirely shocked. It was as if her mind had pieced together his past reactions and behaviors towards her, and everything finally clicked.

“I know this might sound crazy, but I think I’ve loved you since the first day we met,” Zeke whispered.

Thalassa managed a small smile. “Yes, that does sound crazy because the first time we met, you accused me of hurting Granny.”

Zeke winced. “Don’t remind me of what a jerk I was to tou. But you said you forgave me, didn’t you? I didn’t know you were so good at holding small grudges.”

He chuckled, and Thalassa smiled. Then his expression turned serious as he gazed into her eyes, stepping closer to her.

“On a more serious note, maybe it didn’t happen that night. Honestly, I don’t even know when it happened. I just realized that by the time your month with us was up, I didn’t want to be away from you. I wanted to see you every day, with a need that took my breath away.”
