The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back! by H. Dally

hapter 20 Chapter 20 Thalassa felt like a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over her head. She stood frozen for a few seconds- Kris and Karen? Karen and Kris? Kissing? She couldn't look anymore. She couldn't keep staring.

Immediately, she turned and began to walk away, saying, "I don't feel like trying on the dresses. Let's just pay and go." Neither Millie nor Luisa protested. When they got to the cash counter, Thalassa didn't protest when Luisa insisted on paying. Her mind was too numb to think.

After paying, they were about to leave when Linda Miller stopped in front of them.

1 "I hope you had fun in my boutique, Thalassa, Remember, I don't hold any grudges despite what you did to my family." Thalassa just stared at her, feeling so much rage bubbling inside that she was afraid of what she could do if she stayed a second longer.

Without honoring Linda with a reply, she walked out of the boutique, her friends following behind her. None of them said anything as they walked towards Luisa's car with their shopping bags in hand. When they were finally seated inside, Luisa turned to her.

"Are you okay?" "Why wouldn't I be?" Thalassa said too defensively.

She wanted to pretend that this didn't affect her, but the ache in her heart said otherwise. Throughout their marriage, Kris never took her out anywhere unless it was for business purposes or to keep up appearances. And yet here he was, taking Karen shopping and kissing her like he had no care in the world..

When she lost the baby and texted him, he said she should deal with it herself because he didn't care, but he obviously cared enough to take Karen out.

"That bastard. It's only been a month since he divorced you, and he's already sucking face with another woman?" Millie fumed.

"A month?" Luisa scoffed. "Who knows how long it has been going on?" Luisa realized her mistake and looked at Thalassa. "I'm sorry." "For what?" Thalassa smiled sadly. "You have nothing to apologize for." She knew why Luisa had said that because it was exactly what she was thinking: that what was going on between Kris and Karen hadn't started recently.

"Do you know who he was with?" Luisa asked tentatively.

"Karen," Thalassa answered.

Luisa's eyes widened. "Walt You mean your ex-friend who betrayed you in front of Kris?" +25 BONUS Chapter 20 Thalassa nodded as her hands slowly curled into fists Throughout her one year of marriage, she would constantly go and unload her woes about how Kris and his family were treating her to Karen.

How many times had her best friend' laughed at her after she left? "I can't believe this. It's almost as if they got rid of you just so they could be together." Thalassa's heart squeezed painfully because that was exactly what she was thinking too.

All this tshe had thought that Kris was a victim of his mother and Karen, but now she was beginning to see the truth: he had been in cahoots with them.

They'd all planned to humiliate her in front of the world and get rid of her so that Kris and Karen could finally be together publicly.

How many times had they laughed at her behind her back? A phone rang. It was Luisa's. She picked it up and answered.

"We just went for a bit of shopping, calm down... Don't worry. We're heading back now." After hanging up, she said, "That was Zeke. He wants us to chright now." "Let's go." Earlier inside the boutique, Kris had been quite annoyed as Karen went into the dressing room several times, coming out with a different dress every tso he could check it out. He lied that he liked all of them even though he barely took a look at her.

Yet even after he told her he liked a dress, she would still toss it away to try something else.

Karen had noticed the displeased look on his face, but she didn't care. All she cared about was that he was spending stwith her after so long.

While she was in the dressing room trying on another dress, a text cto her phone. It was from Linda. **LINDA:** *Thalassa has cto the boutique with speople. I didn't kick her out, so beware that she doesn't ruin things." Karen gritted her teeth angrily. She felt like she was making so much progress with Kris, but if he saw Thalassa again, all that progress might go down the drain.

Kris was beginning to get impatient as Karen went back and forth with more dresses. Finally, he voiced his frustration.

"I thought you said you wanted to buy only a few clothes. You've tried on too many dresses, don't you think?" Karen was dismayed. She didn't want him to see Thalassa, but at the stime, he was going to get more irritated with her if she kept him there any longer.

Just then, her phone chimed with another text. Karen quickly looked at the screen. **LINDA:** *She is heading towards the dressing rooms now.

Chapter 20 +25 BONUS Karen looked at Kris, forcing a smile. "You're right. I'll just finish up so we can go." She walked around slowly, wasting tuntil she heard the sound of approaching footsteps. That was when she stepped closer to Kris, grabbed his cheeks, and planted a kiss on his lips.

Kris was taken off guard by the suddenness of the kiss and the passionate movement of Karen's lips. It took him several seconds to finally snap back to his senses and push her away.

"Karen, what is wrong with you? I already told you that don't feel anything for you." He frowned slightly, feeling like he had heard Thalassa's voice, but what would Thalassa be doing in one of his mother's boutiques? 7'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself," Karen sald.

Kris glared at her. "Don't do that again." He turned, ready to walk out when Karen suddenly dropped a bomb.

"Kris, I think I'm pregnant." When the girls arrived, Zeke had an annoyed look on his face, but it softened as soon as he saw the stony look on Thalassa's face.

"Hey, are you alright?" Granny, who had been standing beside him, also approached her. "My dear, is everything okay?" Thalassa forced on a smile for the old woman's sake. Of course." Granny sighed. “Oh dear, I wish I didn't have to leave you alone, but Zeke insists that we must go back. I hope you travel to visitsoon like you promised." "There won't be any need forto travel," Thalassa said.

Everyone turned their questioning eyes towards her as Zeke asked, "What do you mean?" With the hard look back in her eyes, Thalassa answered, "I accept your offer. I will go with you to New York." If her heart had been cold before, then it had now turned to ice. So they thought they could live their lives. happily forever after destroying her life and killing her unborn child? Then they'd better think again!
