Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1579

When Emmy opened her eyes again, the deafening sounds of artillery fire and crashing waves had completely vanished from her ears. Just as she was about to roll over, she felt a man's broad chest pressed against her back, his arms encasing her perfectly in his embrace.

"You are awake?" The man's raspy voice came from above her head, the vibration of his chest traveling through their touching skin. "It is not dawn yet, sleep a little longer?"

Emmy raised her hand to remove the noise canceling earplugs, rolled over following his pull, and looked up at him. "Is the fighting outside all over?"

James reached out to gently brush aside the stray hairs on her forehead, his thumb caressing her cheek. "It is over. The cruise ship is heading out of their borders at full speed. In two more hours, we will be completely in international waters."

Emmy knew full well that entering international waters meant entering a safe zone. She nestled deeper into his embrace, wrapping her arms around his lean waist. "When did you come in?"

James lowered his dark eyes. He naturally was not going to say he had just finished working and came over. Worried she would fret over him while suffering through a difficult pregnancy, he said in a light tone, "I have been here for a while. I have been sleeping with you for half the day."

But in the dim light, Emmy still immediately saw his bloodshot eyes and the heavy, unshakeable exhaustion weighing them down. The bluish stubble popping up on his chin gave him a ruggedly sexy look. She stroked the red marks at the corners of his eyes with heartache. "Looking at you, I can tell you have not rested properly at all. I will sleep with you a little longer, okay?"

The corners of James's lips curled up slightly, and he pressed her closer to his chest. "Okay."
