Chapter 811

Penulis: Light Breeze
Thalia bit her lip. "I have work."

She said she had work, not that she wouldn't go. It wasn't a refusal.

Landon caught it right away. He gave a faint smile, not calling her out.

They sat with Eric and Evelyn in the shop, chatting. Outside the glass window, rain started falling, sliding down the window like tears from a heartbroken lover.

Evelyn was rather playful. She tugged Thalia to the window to watch the rain fall into a little pool outside, where a few golden fish darted around happily.

She told Thalia they were rare, worth over a hundred grand each, shaking her head at how lavish the owner was.

Thalia leaned against the glass and sighed softly. "Over a hundred grand for one fish?"

She looked a little cute like that.

She was in her early 30s, a few years older than Evelyn, yet somehow they seemed the same age. Maybe it was her petite frame, paired with those dark, expressive eyes and her shoulder-length dark hair, that made her look so youthful and delicate.

    15 minutes later, Leslie still hadn't seen Thalia. He went upstairs and knocked on the apartment door. After about two minutes, he sensed something was wrong and kicked it open without hesitation.The door flew open.Inside, it was quiet. A vase of white calla lilies bloomed, yet the silence was deafening.He called out a couple of times. Still, there was nothing but silence.He searched every corner, even the bathroom, but there was no sign of Thalia. Stepping back outside, he noticed a long hallway that connected to another entrance.With a heavy heart, he dialed Landon's number.On the other end, heated arguments were already underway. Even Dexter and his wife had turned up, which showed just how serious things had gotten.Landon was firm, but the outcome would still hurt the shareholders' interests.Some asked him to break up with Thalia for now and pick a woman from a family of equal status to get engaged to instead. Once the scandal died down, they could cancel that engag

    Thalia left.Willow ran after her, feeling sorry for her. She comforted her softly and then said to Leslie, "Take her to the Ziegler residence. I don't think it's safe for her to stay at the apartment. At least there, someone can keep an eye on her. If not, send her to Gabriella's and Xavier's place."She trusted Gabriella to handle things. And Xavier was reliable now too.Leslie nodded. "Don't worry, Ms. Harper. I'll make sure Ms. Sherman gets there safely."He had watched Thalia suffer all along the way, so he couldn't help but feel sympathy for her. Resting a hand lightly on her shoulder like an older brother, he said, "Come on, let's take the garage exit."By now, the reporters had already surrounded Nebula Group so tightly that there was no way out.The revelation that the future Mrs. Ziegler had once worked at a club hit like a bombshell.It was destined to be a sleepless night tonight.Thalia followed Leslie like a lost soul, but after a few steps, she suddenly turned ba

    Being the fiancee of the CEO of Nebula Group, Thalia could be just a trophy, with no impressive education, but she couldn't have any scandals."Digging Into the Future Mrs. Ziegler's Past.""Thalia's Scandalous History.""Mr. Ziegler Chooses Beauty Over Power."…Headlines like these were already drafted.A massive storm loomed over Nebula Group. Landon urgently called a PR meeting and told Leslie to get in touch with Thalia. But at that very moment, Thalia was already in the elevator on her way to his office.Willow, Julian, and all the major shareholders of Nebula Group sat inside Landon's office.When Thalia stepped through the door, the room fell tense. They were about to discuss Landon's love life. The shareholders wanted him to get a breakup, insisting no woman was worth this risk. But Willow and Julian stood on the other side, saying they accepted Thalia's past no matter what, and that they should face this storm together.The pressure on Landon was crushing.Given how

    That feeling was both familiar and strange for Thalia. She had been pregnant once before. Although she hadn't felt it long before losing the baby, it had sharpened her instincts as a woman. She pressed a hand to her chest, trying to hold it back, but in the end, she couldn't.She rushed to the bathroom, retching violently, but it was mostly dry heaving. When her stomach finally emptied, she leaned against the sink in a daze. Deep down, she knew she was pregnant.These past weeks, Landon had been glued to her side. And ever since his proposal, they hadn't used protection.She wanted a baby. Before, she had been eager to improve herself, to keep pace with Landon. But now, she thought having a baby would be wonderful, too. After the baby was born, she could hire a tutor and learn alongside her child.She figured she would have caught up to Landon by the time the child reached his teens.The thought alone made her heart feel warm.Beside her, Tully stared at her with envy. After all,

    Thalia tilted her head back with furrowed brows.Landon pressed soft kisses down her neck, slow and tender, filled with lingering sweetness.…After a long while, he carried her into the bedroom and treated her with extreme care.They fought and made up again, but this time, it felt different.Again and again.They only stopped in the middle of the night, when she finally collapsed into sleep. He got up to make some food, and as the sounds from the kitchen reached her, she lay there thinking drowsily if whatever he was cooking would actually be edible.Suddenly, the phone on the nightstand rang.It was Greg.She raised her voice. "Greg's calling."A few seconds later, Landon's voice drifted in from the kitchen. "Answer it. If he asks, just say I quit drinking."She hummed in reply, her mood surprisingly light after what happened.She picked up, but before she could speak, Greg started talking a mile a minute, "Landon, listen, Thea drank herself sick tonight over you. I just

    Thalia sat up straight. But all her senses were focused on her palm—on the warmth of Landon's hand around hers. It took her a while to pull herself together before she shook her head lightly. "I wasn't thinking about anything."Landon gave her a lazy smile. "I think you were thinking about me."She denied it, "Nope."He didn't push it further, knowing when to leave her to her privacy. He just kept driving, sending her back to the apartment. After a while, his phone rang. He only took a glance to find out that it was Thea who called.Thalia saw it too.He didn't answer.But soon, the phone blared again, loud and grating in the quiet car. This time, he didn't ignore it. Tilting his chin toward Thalia, he said, "Answer it for me."Thalia turned her face away, refusing. "It's your call, not mine, to take."Driving with one hand on the wheel, he said in a softened voice with a trace of warmth, "You're my future wife. You can answer my calls as you please."She remained still, but h
