Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 502

The air felt thick, like the world had stopped breathing.

James froze, panic flashing across his face as he stared at her, totally thrown off.

Emmy caught his look and couldn’t help but give a half-smile. “You already knew, didn’t you?”

She raised an eyebrow. “Did you really think hiding it from me was fun?”

James completely lost it, stumbling over his words. “No, that’s not it! Babe, I was just… I was scared, okay? I was afraid you’d want to get rid of the baby if you found out.”

Emmy just stared at him, stunned.

Get rid of the baby?

The thought was almost laughable.

“Why would you ever think I’d do something like that?” she asked, her voice flat.

James clamped his lips together, but then his panic shifted. For a second, pure hope flickered in his eyes. “So… you’re not going to… you wouldn’t, right?”

Emmy didn’t say a word. She shoved past him, got up, and headed straight for the bathroom.

James rushed after her but she slammed the door right in his face.

Inside, Emmy glared at herself in the mirror, her anger simmering.

Sure, she’d always pushed back on the idea of having a baby. But now that it was possibly happening—for real, with her own child—how could he think she’d be so cold?

She’d honestly thought he’d kept it a secret to surprise her, to do something sweet.

Turns out, he was just scared she’d want to end the pregnancy.

So that’s all he saw when he looked at her? Someone heartless?

James’s voice came through the door, thick with regret. “Babe, I’m sorry. Please, don’t be mad, okay?”

Emmy ignored him.

Once she’d finished getting ready, she opened the door without looking in his direction and walked straight to the dining room.
