Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1507

Emmy halted her steps. Sensing the tense atmosphere, Sylvia immediately let go of Emmy's arm. "You two talk, I'll go inside and find Abriella." With that, she turned and walked away.

Steve's gaze lingered on Sylvia's back until she disappeared into the distance, letting out a helpless sigh. Over the past few weeks, he had tried seeking her out numerous times. But every time she saw him, she avoided him like the plague, unwilling to speak even a single extra word to him. He genuinely had no idea how to repair their relationship anymore.

Emmy's cold, clear voice pulled him out of his misery. "What is it?"

Steve snapped back to reality, meeting Emmy's eyes with an expression torn by guilt and struggle. He had no idea how to even bring this up. But he also knew that a fire could not be hidden in paper. If Emmy checked the international news over the next couple of days, she would inevitably learn of the massacre that had just shocked the globe. Swallowing hard, he pleaded in a hoarse voice, "Emmy, let's find a quiet place."

Without pressing further, Emmy followed him to a secluded corner on the outskirts of the lawn. Free from the chatter of other guests, there was nothing but the rustle of the wind blowing through the leaves. Steve took a deep breath, as if bracing himself for the inevitable. "Emmy, whatever I say next, please, please do not get upset."

Emmy's nerves instantly pulled taut, her woman's intuition flaring to the absolute maximum. Staring directly into his eyes, she demanded sharply, "Is it about James?"

Steve nodded heavily. "I've completely lost contact with him for a whole week."
