The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back (Thalassa and Kris) novel Chapter 201

Chapter 201
Thalassa paced back and forth in the living room. It had been over an hour since Luisa had gone upstairs after their argument, and Thalassa was really bothered.

Usually, Luisa would call and ask her opinion about what dress to wear or how her make up looked, but she hadn't called her tonight.

With a sigh, Thalassa climbed the stairs and knocked on Luisa’s bedroom door.

“Luisa, do you need my help with anything?” she asked.

“No, thanks,” came the curt reply.

Thalassa pressed her lips together in frustration. Turning, she made her way back downstairs. Just as she reached the bottom, the doorbell rang.

She walked over and opened it to find Alden standing there with an awkward smile.

“Hey, Thalassa,” he greeted. “Is Luisa ready?”

“I’ll go get her for you ”

Before she could call for Luisa, her friend appeared at the top of the stairs and began descending, her eyes lighting up when she saw Alden.

Alden’s gaze never left Luisa. “You look gorgeous,” he whispered.

Luisa blushed slightly and smiled. “Thank you.”

Alden stepped closer, his expression shifting as he extended his hand to her. “Can we go?” he asked, but his tone was distant, distracted.

Luisa frowned. “Is something wrong?”

Alden hesitated before letting out a sigh. “It’s Kris,” he said quietly. “I’ve never seen him like this before. He’s... shattered.”

Luisa nodded sympathetically. “It must be hard for him, finding out his mother’s capable of such things.”

Alden shook his head. “It’s more than that. He blames himself for the loss of his unborn child. I’ve tried to tell him it wasn’t his fault, but he won’t listen. He’s drowning in guilt.”

He froze, suddenly remembering that Thalassa was still standing nearby. His face flushed slightly as he looked at her. “I’m sorry, Thalassa. You probably don’t want to hear all this.”

Thalassa kept her face neutral and shook her head. “It’s fine,” she said, before turning and walking toward the kitchen, trying to hide her slightly trembling hands.

Watching her go, Luisa's eyes narrowed before she turned to Alden. “Can you wait for me in the car? I’ll be there in a minute.”

Alden raised a confused brow but nodded. “Sure. Take your time.”

As Alden left, Luisa marched toward Thalassa, grabbing her arm and spinning her around, her eyes blazing with frustration. “What’s wrong with you?”

Thalassa stared at her. “What?”

“How can you remain so emotionless after everything Alden told you Kris is going through?”

Thalassa’s jaw tightened. Emotionless? Hearing everything Alden said had been like knives pricking at her skin and her heart, but what was she supposed to do.

“Kris is devastated and wallowing in guilt because he thinks you lost your child and it's all his fault.”

“I did lose my child, Luisa.” Thalassa gritted out, her voice wavering slightly.
