Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 110

Emmy couldn’t believe what she was seeing. How could someone be so shameless?

She was so mad she nearly flipped the whole plate of fish. Honestly, what she really wanted was to stand up and slap him right across the face.

But years of good manners kept her in check, holding her anger back like a tight leash.

She took a deep breath, lifted her head, and met Dean’s gaze with eyes cold enough to freeze fire.

“Dean, I don’t owe you anything.”

“Could you just do me a favor and let me go?”

For a split second, Dean actually looked nervous, but he forced himself to keep going.

“I like fish. You used to make it for me all the time, trying out new recipes. You’d even pick out every single tiny bone before you let me eat it. Did he ever do that for you?” He shot James a smug look.

James leaned back, totally unbothered, a little smirk on his lips. “I don’t need to,” he said, voice cool as ice. “But you, Mr. Sparrow, just keep showing up here to remind me how much my wife used to love you.”

“What’s wrong, Dean? Is your new girlfriend not giving you enough attention, so you have to come sniffing around my wife just to feel important?”

Dean’s face went dark, jaw tight. “If you know she loved me, then you should just back off and leave her to me! Stop hanging around here and living off her generosity!”

That was it. Emmy snapped. She raised her hand and slapped Dean hard across the face.

Her eyes were blazing as she shouted, “Dean, I’ve told you a million times—I stopped loving you ages ago! Why do you keep pushing yourself into my life? You and Evelina are both so pathetic!”

Dean just stood there, totally stunned.

She actually slapped him? And called him pathetic?

“Emmy, what is wrong with you?” Evelina stormed over, glaring. “If you’re mad, take it out on me. Don’t hit Dean! Can’t you see he’s just worried about you, scared that you’ll be fooled by some freeloader? That’s the only reason he keeps talking to you!”

Emmy looked at Evelina, who was playing the martyr, and just laughed.
