Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1623

Emmy picked up her rose tea and took a small sip. The warm liquid slid down her throat, soothing her stomach and steadying her racing heart. She set the cup down and looked Cadence straight in the eye. "Even if this truly is an unsolvable dead end, things have already reached the point of no return. The arrow has left the bow. Whether it is a mountain of blades or a sea of fire ahead, I will walk through it with him."

Seeing the exact same stubbornness in her that James possessed, Cadence let out a heavy sigh. "You girl... Fine. To stabilize your father's political standing, I have already sold off all my shares and completely severed my ties with Nelson Corporation. The President is James's biological father, after all. Blood is thicker than water. I still hope you can properly persuade him. Even if he must strike, he shouldn't blow this out of proportion. He needs to exercise some restraint. International relations are already incredibly tense right now, with all factions watching closely. Your father is in a very difficult position at this critical juncture."

Hearing the compromise and genuine concern in Cadence's words, Emmy nodded in agreement. "I understand, Cadence. I will definitely pass your concerns on to him."

Relieved, Cadence looked at Emmy's heavy belly, her tone softening considerably. "Alright, let us drop these depressing matters. Your top priority right now is to rest and focus on the baby. I just hope this pregnancy goes smoothly, without any unexpected complications."

Cadence then shifted the conversation to lighter, everyday topics, and neither woman brought up the heavy burden of the corporate war again.

When Emmy and Cadence returned to the castle's living room, Emmy was slightly taken aback by the scene before her. The atmosphere wasn't nearly as tense as she had feared. Whatever James had discussed with Jared, the father and son were actually sitting together in rare, peaceful harmony. When dinner time arrived, the family even gathered around the long, expansive dining table for a genuinely warm meal. Bright crystal chandeliers cast a soft glow over the room.
