Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1436

A fleeting trace of discomfort crossed James's usually cold and composed handsome face. Immediately after, his ears visibly flushed with a faint pink hue. He looked away. "No, I didn't join."

Surprise flashed in Emmy's eyes. He stayed up half the night doing those chaotic trending tasks and posting on his social network, yet he hadn't even joined the fan group?

But James clearly had no intention of continuing this conversation. If they kept talking, it would make him, the official husband, seem far too pathetic. Not only was he unable to compete with a bunch of fans, but he couldn't even infiltrate their group.

He pulled his long arm inward, wrapping it around Emmy's waist, and guided her toward the castle. "I've been running around all day, I'm starving. Let's go in and eat first."

Early the next morning, James brought Emmy to The Grand Regency. They first took the exclusive elevator up to the high-level VIP lounge. Danny had already made arrangements for them to meet the two presidents of the fan club here first, to discuss the specific schedule for Emmy's appearance before the fans.

After sitting down on the leather sofa in the lounge, Emmy turned her head. Looking at James sitting beside her in a custom black suit, Emmy couldn't help but smile and tease him. "So when you said yesterday you were taking me to a meeting, this was the meeting you meant?"

James leaned back against the sofa, legs crossed, his posture lazy yet exuding a natural sense of dominance. He nodded openly. "Yes. A fan club gala, how does that not count as a meeting?"

Emmy was so amused she couldn't hold it in and chuckled softly.

The very first thing they saw was Emmy sitting in the center of the sofa. Today, she was wearing a soft, creamy white knit dress, casually paired with a light apricot wool cardigan. Her shoulder-length hair was pinned back in a half-up princess style, with only a few wisps framing her face. When she looked up, her clear eyes holding a touch of warmth, she radiated a gentle and tranquil beauty.

It was the first time both Tiffany and Laney were seeing their idol up close like this. The visual impact of her beauty hitting them straight on was simply overwhelming.

Both of them were instantly awestruck, standing rigidly in place, completely dazed. They never expected that seeing Emmy up close would be this breathtakingly beautiful. Only one thought echoed in their minds: the cameras simply didn't capture even a tenth of their idol's beauty! In person, they felt their idol was so slender, so beautiful, so gentle, and so soft. It was the kind of look that instantly provoked a fierce desire to protect her the moment you laid eyes on her.

Laney's brain practically short-circuited from the sheer beauty. Forgetting entirely about the current setting, she blurted out a fanatical shout. "Wifey! You're so beautiful!"
