Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1595

Hearing this, Mercedes let out a scoff. She lifted her head, her eyes brimming with self deprecation. "That is impossible. Putting aside the fact that I could never fall in love with a tyrant like him, a man like that can easily declare love to a woman, but he would never actually mean it. I asked his adjutant. Before meeting me, he dated five or six women a year. Every single one of them was scared off by his demands. The longest relationship lasted a mere two months." She sneered repeatedly. "Whenever a new woman appeared, he would act exactly as he does with me. He would put on a display of extreme doting in front of outsiders, looking entirely devoted. But behind closed doors, he simply coveted their bodies. When they could not take it anymore and broke up with him, he never even tried to make them stay. He just cleanly moved on to the next one."

Emmy listened quietly as Mercedes poured out her grievances. Once her emotions had somewhat settled, Emmy casually asked, "Were those women as troublesome as you?"

Mercedes froze, instinctively replying, "What?"

Emmy set down her spoon and leaned back slightly. "From my perspective, Major General Calony treats you differently. You come with quite a lot of baggage, do you not? Yet he is willing to deploy his own resources to clean up your messes. He has even stepped forward to salvage your public image in the media. Do you really believe that if he solely coveted your body, he would go to such lengths for you?"

Mercedes fell silent, her mind involuntarily recalling the women the adjutant had mentioned. Every one of them had been a well bred lady from a prominent family, possessing pristine backgrounds and spotless reputations. Her own status was indeed worlds apart from theirs. Not to mention the trail of messy scandals and unshakable troubles she dragged behind her. Furthermore, she remembered that when she told him she wanted to become a capital player and stop being a pawn in the entertainment industry, Calony had immediately promised to elevate her, regardless of his crude methods, to ensure she stood exactly where she wanted to be.

Mercedes pressed her lips tightly together, a complex emotion flickering in her eyes.

Watching her expression change, Emmy softened her tone. "Why not give it a try? Try to let go of your calculations and love him sincerely. Let him feel your affection instead of making him feel like you are just enduring him. Only then will he understand what it truly means to love someone. Once he learns how to love, it will naturally resolve your current predicament."
