The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back (Thalassa and Kris) novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205
Kris’s accusation hung in the air for several seconds as they stared at each other. His eyes were hard, demanding an answer.

“Is that what you think of me? That I would lie about…about our child dying?” Thalassa finally broke the silence, her voice barely above a whisper. Her throat tightened with emotion as she struggled to hold back her tears.

Kris finally pulled away from her, frustration radiating from his every movement. He threw his hands up in the air, pacing angrily.

“What the hell else am I supposed to think, Thalassa? You told me our child died in your womb after my mother’s attack. But he’s sitting in that living room, flesh and blood, looking at me like I’m some goddamn stranger. So, yeah! I don’t know what the fuck else to think!”

Thalassa stood frozen, each word hitting her like a punch. Her chest felt heavy, like it was hard to breathe. After a long moment, she took a deep, shaky breath and spoke, her voice trembling.

“I was pregnant with twins, Kris.”

Kris stopped pacing, his gaze snapping back to hers, his eyes wide.

“I never knew,” she continued, her eyes welling with tears. “When your mother had me attacked, I thought I’d lost the pregnancy. That’s what the doctors told me. They said there was nothing left to save…I’d had a miscarriage.”

She paused, struggling to find the right words as Kris stared at her, his face slowly draining of its anger.

“I didn’t realize I was still pregnant until months later, after I moved to New York. My belly started swelling, and then I found out I was still carrying a baby. The tests in Baltimore hadn’t been able to detect that there was another fetus after the one I lost.”

Her voice broke on the last words, and she swallowed hard, the weight of the memory crushing her. “We would’ve had twins, Kris. But I lost one of them because of your mother. Tell me, do you still think I’m cruel for wanting to get justice for the life of the one I lost?”

Kris’s anger melted into confusion, pain flashing across his face as her words sank in. Slowly, his knees gave way, and he collapsed to the floor, his head falling into his hands as the sobs wracked his body.
