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

Chapter 104

The incessant ringing of his penthouse doorbell jolted Kris out of his sleep. He’d ignored it for a while, hoping it would stop, but the ringing only got worse until he couldn’t ignore it anymore.

“This building better fucking be on fire,” he cursed under his breath as he shot out of bed and made his way out of the bedroom, down the stairs, and to the door.

His annoyance grew when he yanked the door open and saw that it was Alden.

“Wow, I still can’t believe you moved out of your house.”

Kris gritted his teeth. “And you woke me up this early in the morning just to tell me that?”

“Early?” Alden scoffed and pulled out his phone, turning the screen toward Kris.

Kris mellowed a bit when he saw that it was already 8 in the morning. He’d spent the night tossing in bed and must’ve only drifted to sleep around 4 a.m. As such, he felt exhausted.

“Come in,” he said with a sigh as he stepped aside.

“Who said I was asking for your permission?” Alden rolled his eyes as he walked inside, causing Kris to glare at him.

“Wow, this place is…bare,” Alden commented, looking around the apartment.

“Why are you here, Alden?” Kris asked, still feeling a little irritable.

“I came here to be the best friend I am by helping you decorate your new penthouse since you have such shitty taste in décor. I’m here to make this place feel like a home.

Kris’s expression instantly soured as he bitterly said, “No place can ever feel like home again.”

Alden’s eyebrows knit together, and he glanced around the bare apartment with a shake of his head. “But still, the Miller mansion is where you’ve lived all your life,”

Kris smiled wryly. Alden was right. He’d stayed in the Miller mansion all his life, but ironically, that place had stopped feeling like home the moment he kicked Thalassa cut of it.

“Honestly, in my opinion, you shouldn’t have left because of Karen.”
