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

Chapter 170

Composing herself, Thalassa glared at him. "Then I'll have the security guards throw you out."

Before Kris could respond, Betty's voice rang out from behind her. "Oh, you two are awake! Hope you had a good night. What am I even saying? Of course, you must've had a magical* night!" She giggled, earning a sharp glare from Thalassa, while Kris flashed a faint smile, noticing that she was holding a black plastic bag.

Turning to Kris, she continued, "Last night, after preparing your dinner, I came to call you down to eat, but the two of you seemed quiet... preoccupied."

Thalassa's face flushed with embarrassment as she realized Betty had probably witnessed their heated kiss. She clenched her jaw as Kris looked at her, a teasing smile tugging at his lips. "I'm sure you didn't eat at all yesterday, and that's not good. Come on, let me warm up the food so you can eat something. I don't want you passing out."

"There's no need for that because Kris is leaving now," Thalassa interjected quickly.

Betty's smile faltered, confusion flashing across her face. "Oh... can't he leave after breakfast? It's "

"No." Thalassa cut her off, shaking her head vehemently, silently praying Betty wouldn't make things more difficult. "He can have breakfast at his hotel or wherever he wants."

Still looking puzzled, Betty raised the plastic bag and handed it to Kris. "Here. I washed and dried your soaked clothes from last night."

Kris flashed her a grateful smile. "Thank you, Betty. You're an angel."

Taking the bag from her hand, he turned, about to go into Zeke's room where he and Thalassa had spent the night, but Thalassa's voice stopped him. "Where are you going?"

Kris paused, turning back to her with a bitter smile. "What? You won't even allow me to take a shower and change into my clothes before I leave?"
