Chapter 174

Thalassa's plan to return that night was derailed by another storm. But deep down, she was grateful for the delay, because it meant she got to spend more time with Alex. Thankfully, Kris didn't show up outside the gate like he had the day before, which would have forced her to let him in again.

However, that didn't stop him from sending her a series of texts from a different number, telling her how much he missed her, how he couldn't stop thinking about their night together, and how he planned to make her the happiest woman on earth when she gave him another chance.

"I missed you too," Thalassa replied.
