Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1476

Soon, everyone gathered cheerfully around the dining table. A large dual broth fondue pot sat in the center, one side bubbling with a fiery red chili oil and the other rolling with a mild, creamy bouillon. Positioned directly in front of Emmy was the rich, savory mushroom bouillon, completely free of spice.

James walked over and took his seat, holding two freshly mixed bowls of dipping sauce. He placed the bowl containing absolutely no chili in front of Emmy. Leaning forward slightly, he rested his large, well defined hands on the edge of the table and asked softly, "Do you want some parsley in this?"

Emmy was still harboring some lingering anger toward him, but with all her close friends present and his active attempt to make peace, her frustration quickly dissipated. She glanced at him and replied, "Just a little."

A faint smile touched James’s eyes as he carefully pinched a small sprig of parsley into her bowl. He then produced a bottle of warmed fresh milk, twisted off the cap, and placed it right next to her hand.

Watching this unfold, Krystina smacked her lips in pure envy. "Oh man, having a husband who dotes on you like that must be amazing." She nudged Sylvia with her elbow. "Right, Sylvia?"

Sylvia smiled and nodded in enthusiastic agreement.

Abriella immediately raised an eyebrow at Krystina. "If you are so jealous, hurry up and find one yourself! Danny has been waiting so long he is about to wilt!"

Danny’s massive crush on Krystina was practically an open secret by now. Everyone could see that he spent every waking moment praying she would finally agree to go out with him. They all expected Krystina to at least play along with the joke, but instead, her smile vanished instantly, and she waved her hand in flat refusal. "Never going to happen. I am never getting married in this lifetime!"

Krystina was the textbook definition of once bitten, twice shy. Seeing how resolute she was, the group wisely dropped the subject. Abriella quickly urged everyone to dig in, and the conversation around the table shifted back to lively everyday chatter.
