The CEO's Amazing Ex-Wife Is Back! Chapter 40
Thalassa had given Kris that reply out of impulse, but once it left her mouth, she wasn’t willing to take it back. She’d wanted to hurt him, and judging from the forlorn look in his eyes, she’d achieved just that.Kris felt like a knife had been shoved into his chest as he finally stopped pinning her to the wall and stepped back.“I see,” he said slowly, the pain weaving through every syllable and his voice. “If you knew the baby wasn’t mine, then why did you try to use it to stop me from divorcing you?”He shook his head slowly. “What sort of woman are you? You wanted to deceive me into taking care of another man’s child. And just yesterday, you tried to guilt me about kicking you out of my life and not caring what happened to you.”Thalassa ensured that her expression was stoic. “Now that I’ve said what you want to hear, can you leave my office?”“Who was the father?” Kris questioned instead of doing as she’d said. “Was it Zeke Mathews? How long were you two lovers before we divorce

Kris dropped Alden off at his company before driving to his own, Miller Textiles.“Sir, your mother is inside waiting for you,” Millie, his secretary, informed him when he arrived at her desk. “I told her you didn't say when you would come back, but she insisted on waiting.”“Thanks, Millie,” Kris nodded before making his way into the office.As soon as his mother saw him, she got up to give him a hug. “Oh dear, I really don’t like it when you're upset with me.”Kris sighed, hugging her back. “I don't either, Mum.”“Will you forgive me for not telling you the truth?” his mother asked once they pulled back from the hug. “I thought I was doing what was best for our family.”For her sake, Kris flashed a smile. “You know I can't be mad at you for long.”They hugged again before his mother said, “But that's not the only reason I came here.”Kris went to sit in his chair as his mother also sat down in one of the visitor chairs. “Why are you here then, Mum?”A knock sounded on the door, and

The sound of children’s laughter floated through the air as they ran and chased each other around.“Children, I told you to stop running around,” the event organizer, who was the owner of the foundation, chastised. But his words fell on deaf ears as the children continued to play.One of the children was so excited that he didn’t realize someone was approaching until he crashed into the person.It was Linda, who immediately had a scowl on her face. Opening her mouth to say something scathing, she stopped herself when she realized the number of people present who were all staring at her for her reaction.Immediately, she put on a smile and crouched a bit, patting the boy on the cheek. “Careful, boy. We don’t want you getting hurt.”Kris watched on with an approving smile, but he wasn’t the only one who’d accompanied his mother. Karen, his siblings, and his aunt had also come along.“Mrs. Miller, you came!” the event organizer exclaimed in surprise as he approached them. “The Miller fam

Linda was so upset that she was beginning to hyperventilate, gritting out under her breath, “What the hell is she doing here? How did she...”“She’s obviously here to bother us as usual. She just won’t leave us alone,” Karen said as she held onto an irritated Kris’s arm.Linda turned to her children and Aunt Cynthia. “Did you tell anyone that our family would be coming to this function?”Tyler’s face scrunched with disgust as he also said quietly, “Tell our friends that we’re going to a charity event? How boring!”“Then how did she know that I would be here? Because I know this isn’t just a coincidence!” Linda silently fumed some more.Kris, on the other hand, was scowling for a whole different reason, watching how Thalassa’s hand was so intricately wrapped around Zeke’s arm and how close their bodies were.The event organizer had his eyes wide, but he soon frowned, not believing that anyone would be willing to pay so much for the painting.“And you are?”Before Thalassa could respond

“Mum, what have you done?”“How can you buy that ridiculous painting for that amount?”While the other family members chastised Linda, Kris only fumed silently as he stared at Thalassa. Ironically, he felt more upset about her being so close to Zeke than about his mother losing such a large amount of money.“Mrs. Miller, the foundation cannot even begin to express how grateful we are for your immense generosity,” the organizer said. “Please, I believe we would all like to hear a word from you.”Everyone was staring at her, so Linda plastered a smile on her face even though she felt like crying. She got up and walked to the stage. She knew she could withdraw her bid, but if she did, she would be even more humiliated.Forcing an even wider smile, she began speaking. “Ladies and gentlemen, this donation is from the heart. There’s nothing more important than these children. I’m glad that I’ve made the biggest donation, which can go a long way to support them.”Thalassa rolled her eyes. Tr

Linda’s face contorted with anger, the mere sight of Thalassa making her blood boil.Thalassa tipped her head to the side, shaking her head with an unsurprised look on her face. “I always knew you were a wretched woman, but you’ve reached an all-time low. Threatening a man who’s only politely asking for something you promised to give?”Linda shot to her feet and faced Thalassa. “You stupid girl. You tricked me! You tricked me into bidding that amount.”“Tricked you?” Thalassa couldn’t help but laugh. “Don’t be so dense, Linda. I didn’t point a gun at your head to bid that high. You did it because you were too proud to lose to me. It’s your own stupidity that cost you.”Fury flashed across Linda’s face as she stepped forward and threw her hand, but Thalassa saw it just in time and grabbed her wrist, squeezing tightly.“You don’t learn, do you, Linda? I already warned you not to throw hands at me because I’ll throw it back at you.”“Let go of me,” Linda groaned in pain, trying to free h

Kris was so upset that the veins in his neck were popping from how hard he was clenching his fists.“Brother...Kris, I was just putting this bitch in her pla—”“Shut up, Susan,” Kris hissed, staring daggers at his sister. “Is it true? Everything you just said?”He felt so conflicted. Was this truly how his family had treated Thalassa three years ago? He’d known his family didn’t like her, especially his mother, but had it been that bad?“Kris, she attacked Mum in the organizer’s office. Look what she did,” Susan said, taking his mother’s hand to show the red marks on her wrist.“Just answer my question,” Kris gritted out, his anger and anxious need for an answer overshadowing his worry for his mother.Susan didn’t speak. Instead, it was Thalassa. “Why are you so surprised by what you just heard, Kris? How else did you expect them to treat me when you never treated me with respect?”Thalassa scoffed as she turned to Susan. “And you, what did you think you were going to achieve by bring

As Zeke drove Thalassa to her and Luisa's house, the ride was silent all the way. The few times he'd tried to initiate conversation, she'd instantly killed it with short, disinterested answers.Some time later, he pulled the car into the driveway of her house. Killing the engine, he turned to her, concern etched on his face.“Lasaa, are you okay?”She raised an eyebrow. “Why wouldn't I be?”Zeke bit his lip, wondering whether to probe. Since the day she broke down in his arms at her office, she'd gone back to never sharing her thoughts or emotions with him. He knew she wouldn't tell him what was on her mind if he asked, but he was certain it had something to do with Kris Miller.“You shouldn't let him get to you,” he finally risked saying.Thalassa stiffened. “What are you talking about?”“I’m talking about Kris and his claims that he didn’t know how his family mistreated you. You shouldn’t let him deceive you. He’s obviously only trying to free himself from his guilt and—”“I’d rathe

The tension broke when Kevin suddenly appeared beside Tessa, a broad smile on his face as he looked at her parents. Gendry and Alex finally released their handshake, and Gendry stepped back, returning to his previous spot.After a few seconds, Kevin glanced at Tessa and arched a brow, silently prompting her for a formal introduction.Tessa cleared her throat. "Uh, Mum, Dad, this is Kevin Balthazar. Kevin is..."She trailed off, and Gendry unknowingly held his breath, waiting for what she was going to say."...a very good friend," she finally completed.Kevin beamed. "I'm very honored to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Miller. Tessa has told me a lot about you." He stretched out his hand eagerly.Both Kris and Thalassa shook his hand, looking slightly amused by his enthusiasm. Then Kevin turned his attention to Alexander."I'm a huge fan of yours, Alex." His eyes widened. "I can call you that, right?"Alex smiled and nodded. "Of course. My sister's friends are my friends."Gendry snorted. Why d

Tessa’s happiness at seeing her family was unmistakable. After hugging and rocking her little sister for a bit, she moved toward her parents, who both engulfed her in a warm embrace.Gendry’s breath hitched. He’d seen Tessa wear a lot of expressions; angry, frustrated, annoyed, flushed, and pleasured, but he’d never seen her look so at peace before.It was obvious she loved and adored her parents, and she felt safe with them. Gendry wondered if there was a story there he didn’t know.“Hey, I’m feeling incredibly left out right now,” Alex said in a mock-grouchy voice.Tessa’s parents released her from their hug. She shrugged, looking at her brother.“I’m only hugging those I missed the most. I didn’t miss you much, so—”“Stop being silly and come here.”Tessa shrieked with laughter as Alex pulled her into a hug. Their bond as siblings was undeniable, their closeness evident in the easy way they teased and held each other.

Tessa’s heart caught. What he'd just told her could mean two things: that he wanted her so much that he’d set his rule aside because of her, or that she was worthless to him, which was why he was willing to sleep with her with no intention of having a relationship with her. The possibility of it being the latter stung more than she could ever admit. But why? It wasn’t like she wanted a relationship with him either. With her mood suddenly soured for reasons she couldn’t understand, she looked out the window at the buildings whirling by. “What about you?” Gendry’s voice jolted her out of her thoughts. Tessa pulled away from the window and looked at him. “What about me?” she asked, confusion in her voice. “You already know I’d never been with any man... until yesterday” “Yes. I know.” Gendry nodded. “The question is why. You’re beautiful, and you know it. It couldn’t possibly be because no man has approached you before. I know you probably have a thousand flocking around you, so wh

On the way back to the villa, the car was filled with a comfortable silence, but Tessa's mind was stuck on something she couldn't stop thinking about. It had been on her mind since morning, and she needed an answer. Before she could change her mind, she spoke. “This morning… what Jace said… what did he mean?” She saw Gendry’s hands tense around the steering wheel. “Jace said a lot of things,” he pointed out. “Yes,” Tessa agreed. “But I meant… what he said about thinking you’d lost interest in women.” Gendry briefly took his eyes off the road. “I can stop the car and show you right now that he was talking nonsense—just like I showed you a few hours ago.” Tessa’s cheeks flushed, wild images flaring through her mind at his words. “You’re evading my question.” “And you seem to have forgotten your own rules,” Gendry mused wryly. “No talking about each other’s personal lives, remember?” His voice had an edge to it, and Tessa wondered if she should drop it, but the curiosity was eati

"Where have you been, Missy?" That was the first thing Maya asked as soon as Tessa walked into the villa's living area. Tessa had prepared for the question. "In my room," she answered casually. Since she'd gone straight to Gendry's room, her door had still been locked, so Maya wouldn't have been able to enter. Maya tilted her head. "And you didn't hear me when I came knocking?" Tessa shrugged. "I was taking a nap." "Must have been a very deep nap because I called your phone as well," Maya revealed, eyeing her suspiciously. "You didn't hear it either?" Bringing her phone up, Tessa turned on the screen and noticed two missed calls from Maya in her notifications. She thought she had vaguely heard a phone ringing, but it had seemed like a dream compared to the very real reality of Gendry doing things to her insides with his cock. "No, I didn't hear it." "Hmm." Maya hummed, studying her. "Why does your face look so red? And your lips look a bit swollen. Are you okay?" Tessa shif

When Tessa entered the house, only a few guests were lingering about. Gendry was nowhere in sight, so he had probably gone to his room-which was perfect. Making her way down the corridor that led to her and Gendry's room, she knocked on his door immediately, looking back to ensure that no one was watching her. The door opened after a few seconds. Gendry stared at her with an unreadable expression before stepping back to allow her entry. Entering, Tessa closed the door behind her and jammed her hand on her hip. "What was that outside, Gendry? Why did you react that way toward Kevin?" Gendry gave her a bored look. "I told you. I thought he was harassing you." "You had no reason to think that," Tessa pointed out. "He and I were just having a conversation." "Yes, a very intimate conversation, it seems," Gendry said, his tone edged with sarcasm. Tessa stared at him. "You do realize that there were people watching us, right? Everyone is probably suspecting it now. You acted like you

Tessa's heart thumped inside her chest. Gendry had spoken in a relatively low voice, so only the few people standing closest to them had heard and seen that something was going on. But sensing the flaring tempers, she knew that if she didn't do something, it could escalate into something worse. “Gendry!” she hissed, glaring at him. Before she could say anything else, Kevin wrenched his hands from Gendry's grip, gritting out, “What the heck is your problem, man?” His voice was louder than Gendry's, and Tessa winced, darting her eyes around. They had gained a few more spectators. “My problem is that I need you to stop harassing Tessa,” Gendry hissed, his tone sharp. Tessa stared at him in disbelief. What the hell was he even thinking? “Harassi... what?" Kevin’s face mirrored her incredulity. “What are you talking about? Why would you think I'm harassing Tessa?” Gendry's jaw clenched. “Because... I... saw that she clearly wanted to get away from you, and you held her hands to sto

Kevin appeared in front of her. “Hey, I was wondering if you and I could go—”“I’m sorry, Kevin. I...” Tessa began, thinking of an excuse to give him. “Since Jace isn’t here right now, Maya asked me to hang out with her and help her out with a couple of things, so I’m going to be a bit busy.”As soon as she was done speaking, her cheeks flushed. Jesus, she was a terrible liar. He hadn’t even finished saying what he was going to tell her, and she’d gone ahead and given him this long explanation.Kevin stared at her for a bit, making Tessa uneasy, but then a smile broke out on his lips. “Alright, no problem. I guess I can’t expect to have you to myself all the time when you’re literally going to be the maid of honor. I’ll leave you girls, but I’m here when you’re free.”Tessa nodded with a guilty smile, watching him walk away.“Hmm, I didn’t know I’d asked you to help me out with a couple of things,” Maya spoke up beside Tessa, her voice filled with curiosity and a hint of teasing. “I t

Tessa stepped into the bedroom after soaking herself in a warm bath. She'd searched for what could help with her soreness and had been given the warm bath solution.Though it didn't do a magnificent job of completely getting rid of the soreness, it had alleviated it a bit to the point where she could walk without limping.Just like that, incendiary images flamed through her mind. She quickly put them out. The last thing she needed was to get horny right now.A knock sounded on her door, followed by Maya's voice. "Tessa?""Come in," Tessa called out as she untied her bathrobe. The door opened while Tessa opened the closet to pull out fresh panties, a sundress, and a bra."Guess what I heard?" Maya spoke, her voice filled with that bit of giddiness that always surfaced when she was about to gossip.Tessa looked at her, raising a brow. "What?""I'm not supposed to be telling you this, but whatever." Maya shrugged as she slumped onto the bed. "Apparently, Gendry spent the night with someo
