Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1753

"We are just friends right now." Sylvia put on a stern face and spoke coldly. "What do you mean official? Stop talking nonsense."

Steve dragged out a long, teasing "Oh." He took a step forward, closing the distance between them, and stared into her eyes with a half-smile. "Friends? Ms. Moore, do you go around kissing all your friends like that?"

Sylvia's face instantly caught fire. "Who told you to say all those things to me back there!" She glared at him in flustered embarrassment. "Anyway, you are not getting in this bed!"

Seeing her bristle like a defensive cat, Steve decided not to force the issue. He pouted, instantly switching to a look of utter grievance. He clutched his pillow and let out a heavy sigh. "Alright. I will just keep sleeping on the floor, then." He lowered his head, sounding as pitiful as humanly possible. "Alas, it is my own bad luck for chasing such a cruel, heartless woman." With that, he dragged his feet over to the side of the bed and sat down on the floor, his back looking incredibly forlorn.

Sylvia stood frozen, watching his pathetic display, and felt a sudden pang in her chest. Over the past few weeks, Steve had done so much in his efforts to win her over. Whenever she thought of his quiet sacrifices, a warm heat spread through her heart. But if she let him into her bed, would she even be able to control what happened next? Ultimately, her heart softened. She could not bear to see him upset. "Are you sure you just want to hold me while we sleep?" she asked with a frown.

Steve immediately spun around, nodding eagerly like a puppy that had just spotted a bone. Seeing his comical, desperate expression, Sylvia almost failed to hold back a laugh.
