Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1411

Joey was equally startled. He shook his head vigorously, his expression as serious as an adult. "Then we won't fly! We have to be good!"

He patted his little stomach. At his age, nothing was more important than food. "I am hungry, and my sister is hungry too. Let's go home and eat!"

James laughed. He stepped down from the helicopter and effortlessly scooped up both toddlers, holding one in each arm. "Alright, let's go eat."

Emmy hopped down after him. James naturally turned sideways and slightly bent his arm, allowing Emmy to happily loop her hand through his and rest her head against his shoulder.

The setting sun painted the rolling mountains of Cloudrest Peak in vast swathes of orange, bathing the ancient castle in a warm golden glow. The shadows of the family of four stretched long and intertwined across the grass, intimately connected.

A gentle breeze carried the crisp, grassy scent of the mountains. Even the usual icy aura surrounding James seemed to melt under the warm sunset. He looked at the woman beside him, then down at his chattering children, and his hardened features softened completely. This was the precious domestic peace he had fought for through countless battles and shed blood to protect.

As night fell, the castle settled into a tranquil silence. After coaxing the two energetic toddlers to sleep, Emmy dragged her slightly exhausted body back to the master bedroom.

Mist swirled inside the bathroom. After washing up, Emmy sat on the toilet with an uneasy heart. She looked down and sighed. Still nothing.

A sense of anxiety began to grow wildly within her. She pulled out her phone to check the calendar, her brows drawing together in a tight frown. She was exactly ten days late. Her cycle had always been incredibly punctual. Even when she stayed up late working on lab experiments, she was never delayed by more than three days. This was highly abnormal.

Emmy subconsciously placed a hand over her lower abdomen. Could it be? Was it really possible that she had gotten pregnant again from just that one night? She bit her lower lip, her emotions a tangled mess. She felt a spark of anticipation mixed with an indescribable nervousness.

James was still in the study handling business matters. By the time he pushed open the bedroom door, Emmy was already sound asleep in the large bed. He walked quietly to her side, gazing at his wife's peaceful sleeping face. Freshly showered, her skin glowed pale and flawless, tinged with a delicate pink. The strap of her silk nightgown had slipped halfway down, revealing her smooth shoulder and elegant collarbone.

James felt his throat tighten as the heat within him ignited instantly. He had been celibate for an entire week. For a man in his prime with extraordinary stamina, this was pure torture. He leaned down, his calloused hand gently tracing her cheek before he kissed her.
