Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1270

Emmy felt frustration prick at her eyes. She was on the verge of tears.

“These dresses… almost all of them either have plunging necklines or bare backs.”

“It’s blazing out here on the island, and all the designers sent over were these breezy, barely-there gowns. How am I supposed to wear this?”

“There’s just no way to hide it with makeup, either. And I’m going to be outside all day… the second I start sweating, it’ll be a mess.”

James glanced down at the obvious marks on her skin, a frown creasing his brow. This was an issue.

“Don’t worry. Let me see what I can find.”

He released Emmy and made his way to the row of garment-filled wardrobes, all packed with this season’s latest couture. There were at least dozens of gowns, easy enough for three outfit changes in a day.

His fingers drifted past one stunning gown after another.

Spaghetti straps… nope.

Deep V-neck… can’t do that.

Strapless… absolutely not.

What, did the designers have something against fabric?

James’ frown deepened with every dress.

Just as Emmy was starting to give up and think a scarf might be her only option, James paused at the farthest corner of the closet. He pulled out a long, silvery gown that shimmered coolly under the light.

“How about this one?”

Emmy turned, raising a brow.

“You sure about that?”

It was a figure-hugging, silver satin dress. The color was gorgeous, like moonlight caught in fabric. The design, though…

James didn’t have the first clue about fashion. The only thing he noticed was that this one seemed to actually cover some skin.

“Just put it on and see.”

A few minutes later, Emmy stepped out in the chosen gown. James’s lips pressed into a line immediately.

It had a high neckline, fitting perfectly around her neck and hiding every last trace of those telltale red marks.

The problem, though, was the fit. It was so tight, it looked almost like it was painted on her.

The cut showed off the curve of her shoulders, while the rest of the dress shaped her from chest to ankle with not a single inch left to the imagination.

The silver satin caught the light every time she moved, glinting around her body and showing off a breathtaking hourglass shape.

It had been over a year since she’d had her twins, but her figure hadn’t faded at all. If anything, thanks to sticking to her workout schedule, she looked even better than before, a little softer, a little fuller in all the right places.

Her waist was so slim anyone would want to wrap their hands around it, but her hips were round and just… perfect.

Emmy looked at her reflection and felt herself go pink.

Way too seductive.

She wasn’t showing any skin, but somehow being wrapped up so tightly was even more daring than wearing nothing at all.

James’ gaze darkened. He turned back to the closet, searching again.

Unfortunately, every other dress was either plunging, backless, or just as revealing.

This was her only real option if she wanted to keep things under wraps.
