Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO novel Chapter 464

Chapter 464

Judy stood there, utterly speechless..

For a second, she genuinely considered turning around and walking right out of the villa.

Joseph, meanwhile, looked up in surprise, eyes lighting up. “Hey, what are you doing here?”

She held up a bag in her hand and shook it slightly. “You left your jacket at my studio last time.

“I figured I had some free time today, so I thought I’d drop it off at the villa. Didn’t expect you to actually be here.”

Joseph’s face lit up even more. “You came all this way just for a jacket?”

Judy frowned. “Why not? It’s not a big deal. I was passing by anyway. Had nothing better to do.”

But Joseph didn’t buy it completely.

Deep down, he felt smug, almost giddy. “Really? Because the last time I came to see you, you said you were swamped.”

As he leaned in closer, the clean, warm scent of his shower drifted toward her, hitting her all at once.

Judy felt a faint blush creep up her neck.

Even her voice faltered a bit. “That client… you saw it yourself. I was busy. I just happened to have a break today, that’s all.”

“Oh, well then. Thanks a lot!” he said, grinning.

Judy didn’t even know what the two of them were anymore.

Everything felt odd and undefined.

And now, seeing him like this, cleaned up and polished, she had to admit that Joseph still looked damn good.

That had always been part of the appeal.

He was rich, clueless, and stupidly attractive.

But she straightened, ready to put some distance between them before things got messy again.

“No,” Judy reminded herself. “Stick to your path. Don’t get distracted.”

“I should get going.”

“Judy, wait,” Joseph stepped toward her, a hint of urgency in his voice.

“We never finished our conversation from last time.”

The moment he called her Judy–with that tone and familiar warmth–her skin broke into goosebumps.

She hadn’t realized how much that nickname had grated on her until now.

It sounded all wrong.

Judy was already starting to feel impatient, but when she glanced back at that freshly groomed face of his, her tone softened just a little.

What is it? I really do have things to do. Tonly came by to drop off your jacket. Don’t get the wrong idea.”

Joseph watched her rattle off every word like she was on a timer, shutting him down before he even had the chance to speak.

He stood there, momentarily at a loss.

With her repeated insistence, he finally gave in and acknowledged hat she was here to deliver his jacket, nothing more.
