His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 573

The word "responsible" struck a chord in Camille's heart, sending a tremor through her resolve.

Still, she steeled herself and gave him a shove, breaking free from his embrace.

"Relax, I'm not that delicate, and it's not like it was my first kiss. No need to act like it's some kind of a big deal," she said with a casual flick of her smooth hair, brushing off the moment.

"Prosecutor Arnold, you are quite the looker, sure, but I've always had a thing for the bad boys. The squeaky-clean knights in shining armor? Not really my type."

Bad boys?

Like Jareth and Elvis with their devil-may-care attitudes?

Jareth was already off the market, but Elvis, the notorious bachelor, was still available. And with the party heating up like a college mixer, with the men and women getting cozy, even he was feeling the pull. Could she possibly be interested in Elvis?

A pang of irrational jealousy surged through Arnold. "Maybe it's time you tried something different for a change?" he blurted out.

Camille, who had been maintaining her composure, almost lost it at his words, her lips pressing downward in an effort to keep her cool.

"I'm open to it. In matters of the heart, it's all about excitement and novelty," she said with a sly smile, playing the enchantress toying with mortal hearts. "But Prosecutor Arnold, are you up for the challenge, given your commitment issues?"

Camille rushed back to her friend Evadne, giving her a quick rundown before claiming a work emergency had come up and her assistant was there to whisk her away.

Evadne, worried about her bestie and curious about what had transpired between her and Arnold, hurried off to confront Arnold.

Downstairs in the living room, Arnold sat brooding on the sofa, nursing a cup of strong coffee served by Alva to sober him up.
