Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1473

Emmy stood stunned for a moment before the realization crashed over her. After her conversation with Steve at the hospital today, he must have immediately gone behind her back and tipped off James! A wave of guilt washed over her, followed quickly by an unspeakable sense of helplessness. Meeting James’s wounded, stubborn gaze, she fired back a question of her own. "If I told you the truth, would you even believe me?"

"I would!" James answered without a single heartbeat of hesitation. He stared dead into her eyes, his voice ringing with absolute certainty. "If you say it, I will believe it!"

Seeing the raw, undisguised devotion in his eyes, Emmy’s hands subconsciously curled into tight fists at her sides. "Then... what if I told you that I actually died once? Would you believe that?"

James’s pupils contracted violently. He reached out and grabbed her by the shoulders. "When?"

It was glaringly obvious that he believed her. He had never once doubted a single word she had spoken. Emmy stared at him in a daze. She looked at him for a long, heavy moment and opened her mouth to speak, but her phone suddenly erupted into a shrill ring.

For some inexplicable reason, Emmy felt a profound wave of relief wash over her. Flustered, she gently pushed his arms away. "I need to take this."

James watched her evasive eyes, a flicker of deep disappointment crossing his own. But he slowly released his grip, allowing her to pull out her phone and hit the answer button.

Krystina’s cheerful voice immediately filled the air. "Emmy, when are you finally coming down?"
