Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1600

Hearing this, Barrett felt a wave of helplessness. Having followed Calony for so many years, he was all too familiar with his commander's crude and straightforward style. "Major General, you really cannot blame Mercedes entirely for this." Rubbing his nose, Barrett boldly continued, "Your frequency is simply too high. I am afraid Mercedes truly cannot handle it."

Calony's brows snapped together as he shot Barrett a displeased glare. "I have already reined myself in significantly! If this were the past, would she have even had the time to get out of bed these last two days? I have been accommodating enough, yet she is still ungrateful!" The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became, culminating in him kicking a nearby metal cabinet. "She actually told me just now that she wanted to date me, like some bland, watery soup romance. What is the point? It is a pure waste of time that delays my handling of military affairs!"

Barrett's eyes lit up as he listened. "Major General, you do not understand. Dating is exactly where the fun is!" Leaning in eagerly, he lowered his voice to analyze the situation. "If Mercedes is the one initiating the idea of dating, it means she has already developed feelings for you! If she did not like you, who would bother going to the trouble of creating that kind of atmosphere?"

Calony raised an eyebrow, his light colored pupils full of suspicion and disdain. "Likes me? If we are dating, we cannot have sex, and I will have to spend massive amounts of time accompanying her on dates. What is the point of that?"

Barrett was nearly defeated by his commander's incredibly dense reasoning. He hurriedly retorted, "Who says you cannot have sex when you are dating? Having sex after going on a date is infinitely more enjoyable! Besides, dates are fun. They are sweet moments that belong exclusively to the two of you. With that emotional foundation laid beforehand, when you finally return to the bedroom at night..." Barrett shot Calony a knowing look that only another man would understand. "That feeling is absolutely, unequivocally superior to the hour or two of straight to the point business you usually conduct!"

Watching Barrett's animated expression, Calony knitted his brows even tighter. He looked his adjutant up and down in disbelief. "You certainly talk a good game. Have you dated before?"

Barrett proudly puffed out his chest. "Of course I have! The thing I look forward to most every day is finishing my missions so I can go back and take my girlfriend out on a date." He smacked his lips as if savoring a sweet memory, chuckling to himself. "And then, naturally, we end up tumbling in the sheets at night. Major General, I guarantee you, the sensation is hundreds of times better than just stripping someone bare and getting straight to it!"

Calony's brow remained furrowed, his light pupils swimming with doubt. For the past twenty odd years, his world had consisted solely of guns, blood, and pillaging. To him, women were merely tools for venting desire during his downtime. He favored those with hot bodies who could accommodate him in bed, but he never invested emotionally. Even if a woman cried and begged to leave because she could not stand his roughness, he felt absolutely nothing, simply waving his hand and swapping to the next.
