Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1469

Emmy’s eyes softened instinctively as she spoke into the phone. "When will you be done with work, honey? Can we go back to our place at Applewood Estate today? I want to tell you some good news," she murmured softly, her hand resting over her still flat stomach.

James’s voice was equally tender. "I will be done in half an hour."

A smile curved Emmy’s lips. "Alright, I will wait for you." She hung up, not saying another word. She wanted to deliver such joyous news in person and see his reaction with her own eyes.

The car drove smoothly down the main avenue until the driver suddenly hit the brakes, coming to a dead stop in the middle of the road. After a long wait, the traffic ahead remained completely paralyzed. Emmy looked forward, noting the absence of traffic lights. She frowned slightly and asked in a cool tone what had happened.

The driver glanced back. "It looks like a car crash up ahead, ma'am. The road is completely blocked."

Nina immediately reached for the door handle to go check the situation, but Emmy grabbed her wrist. "Stay put," Emmy ordered. "Just wait in the car." She had encountered far too many sudden emergencies to take chances. The hidden vipers lurking in the dark could strike at any moment, and she refused to let Nina leave her side until she knew exactly what was going on. Nina obediently settled back into her seat.

About ten minutes later, the traffic police finally cleared a single lane for vehicles to pass. As their car slowly crept forward past the accident scene, Emmy glanced out the window. Her gaze instantly locked onto a red sports car with a completely smashed front end. Standing next to it in a thin coat was a woman. It was Isabel. Several police officers surrounded her, questioning her about the crash, but Isabel had her hands clutching her head. Her hair was a mess, her entire body was shaking violently, and she was muttering incoherently with a vacant stare. She looked completely out of her mind.
