Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1501

James placed his hand on the back of her head, rubbing it gently. "No." He lowered his eyes, a cold, ruthless murderous intent flashing through his deep dark pupils.

Lately, both his men and the United Nations had been ramping up their efforts. The UN had consecutively shut down and eradicated dozens of illegal underground biological laboratories, severing countless dark supply chains for the enemy. Yet, they still hadn't managed to drag the ultimate mastermind out of the shadows. Dean had seemingly vanished from the face of the earth, leaving a blade perpetually hanging over James's heart. But he didn't tell her what exactly he was setting out to do.

"I just have some other sudden emergencies that I need to handle personally," he said, trying his best to keep his tone light and casual.

But Emmy knew him too well. Hearing his evasive tone, her heart immediately skipped a beat. She lifted her head from his embrace, her clear almond eyes locked onto him. "Is it dangerous?"

James bent down, taking her soft, fair face in both hands, and pressed a kiss to her lips. "Don't worry, nothing will happen. You know exactly what kind of man your husband is. It's just..." He paused, his tone growing much more serious. "During this time, you might not be able to reach me. But don't worry, it's just inconvenient for me to carry a phone."

Emmy's brows furrowed instantly. This was the exact kind of reassurance she feared most! Panic gripped her heart, and her eyes quickly turned red. But she knew she couldn't let him get distracted now, nor could she let him see her terror. She was his wife, and in this moment, she had to be his greatest source of confidence and support. Forcing a brilliantly bright smile, she spoke softly. "Okay, I won't worry. You have to be careful out there, you hear me? When you get back, I'll make your favorite braised pork."
