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

Thalassa immediately morphed her laughter into coughs, grabbing a glass of water from the table to cover it up.

“Are you okay?” Kris asked.

“Yes. I just had something in my throat,” she replied, waving him off as she set the glass back down.

Kris fought the urge to smile, not fooled in the slightest. What he had heard was definitely a laugh, and the fact that she tried to disguise it as a cough confirmed that it had something to do with him. His heart swelled with hope.

He helped move things and chopped the pork cheeks for me, but I swear the actual cooking was all me.”

“So? What do you think?” Kris asked, watching her expectantly. He hadn’t taken a bite yet because he was waiting for her judgment.
