Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 569

A light blush crept up Emmy’s cheeks as she shot James a half-annoyed, half-embarrassed look.

“He just can’t help himself, always has to worry about everything.”

She said it with a sigh, but honestly, her heart felt so warm inside.

She’d always thought she was already a world-class worrier. It was her first pregnancy, after all. She was careful about every little thing, Googled everything she ate or used, terrified that one wrong step could hurt the baby.

But James somehow managed to be even more anxious than she was.

When they walked out of the doctor’s office, Emmy couldn’t help but laugh at how nervous and uptight he looked.

She glanced over at him and teased, “If you’re really so worried about me and your kid, maybe you should try not to wear me out so much.”

James turned toward her, a mischievous light flickering in his dark eyes.

“The doctor said you can start exercising a little after four months,” he replied, trying to sound serious.

He added, “And actually, pregnant women’s physical needs get higher. If you don’t take care of that, it can lead to mood swings and even depression.”

He leaned in close, his breath warm against her ear.

“I’m just doing this for you.”

Emmy gaped at him, totally floored by his shamelessness.

“Where did you even read that? What kind of nonsense is that supposed to be?”

“Sounds to me like you’re just trying to get your own way,” she shot back.

James just laughed, low and deep. He slid an arm around Emmy’s waist, balancing her purse and a whole stack of medical reports in his other hand.

“So why don’t we just say we’re helping each other out?” His voice dropped, soft and teasing.

Emmy just rolled her eyes and decided not to argue. Honestly, this man was like a walking hormone crossed with a cartoon villain.

She pushed his face away with a laugh and changed the subject. “Are we heading home?”

James didn’t answer right away.

By now they’d reached the parking lot. He opened the car door for her, carefully shielding her head as she got in. Once she was settled, he tucked their things in the back, then slipped into the driver’s seat and buckled up.
