Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1355

The night deepened, and snowflakes fell silently onto the bluestone pavement. Holding her empty bowl, Emmy showed no intention of going back inside. She wrapped her winter coat tighter around herself, chatting casually with Brett.

Brett sat one step lower. His posture had relaxed a bit, but his back remained perfectly straight. Emmy listened to him talk about the past. He told her how James used to drill them in recruit training until they cried out for their parents. He told her how they used to fight for first place against James in the mud pits. Brett shared whatever he was allowed to, vaguely skimming over operations that involved military secrets. Emmy listened attentively, occasionally smiling along.

For some reason, she suddenly recalled a rumor she had heard earlier. "Right, Brett." She turned her head, looking at this tough guy who was still single. "I heard you saved a girl during a border mission?"

Brett froze, nearly dropping the empty bowl in his hand.

"And I heard that not only did the girl confess to you, but she also chased you down for your contact information?" Emmy's eyes carried a hint of teasing amusement. "What happened after that? Did you stay in touch?"

Brett's face, roughened by the wind and snow, visibly flushed red, all the way to the tips of his ears. He scratched his buzz cut uncomfortably and spoke in a muffled voice. "We did stay in touch... But... I rejected her."

Emmy was somewhat surprised and asked in confusion. "Why? The girl took the initiative to confess. Since you added her contact info, it means you don't dislike her either."
