Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1477

No one was more shocked than Abriella. Her eyes went completely round, her mouth hanging open wide enough to fit an egg. "Oh my god!!" she shrieked. "Your fertility is absolutely insane!" She leaned eagerly across the bubbling fondue pot and grabbed Emmy’s hands tight. "Quick, pass some of that magic baby dust over to me!" Her voice was thick with utter defeat and intense envy. "Why is it so impossible for me to have just one?!"

Beside her, Will looked like he was questioning his entire existence. He turned his head and shot James a look of pure, bitter resentment. "Captain, are you seriously trying to build a whole football team? Could you maybe hit the brakes for a second and wait for me?!"

James stood entirely still. For some reason, he suddenly lost all desire to acknowledge the idiot sitting across from him.

Abriella pulled her hands back, declaring with fierce enthusiasm, "With my cousin’s and Emmy's incredible genes, they absolutely should have a ton of kids! Forget one football team, they could build two! And if you two get overwhelmed, just drop a few off at our place and we will raise them for you!"

Will’s eyes lit up at the prospect. He nodded vigorously, chiming in with eager grunts of agreement, acting as if they were going to be handed a baby the very next day.

James was speechless. Emmy was equally stunned. This husband and wife truly were a match made in heaven, one bold enough to make the offer, the other crazy enough to accept it.

Once the initial shock wore off, the group happily moved on to other topics. As the steam from the fondue pot curled gracefully into the air, Emmy held her fork loosely. Her gaze settled on the slices of meat simmering in the broth, but her mind began to wander. She could not stop thinking about what Abriella had said. Getting pregnant was an effortlessly simple task for her, so why was it proving to be an impossible hurdle for Abriella and Will? They had been thoroughly examined at the hospital and had clean bills of health. Could this possibly have something to do with her past life?

Emmy snapped back to reality, instantly burying the turbulent storm of thoughts raging in her eyes. "Nothing. I just... I suddenly remembered a saying." She paused for a moment before continuing. "If you guys cannot have a child despite being perfectly healthy, maybe it just means the timing is not right yet. When the right moment arrives, it will happen naturally."

Abriella, who had just returned with a fresh fork, lit up instantly. She pulled out her chair, sat down, and nodded furiously. "Yes, exactly! That makes total sense!" She handed the fork to Emmy, her voice bubbling with excitement. "That is exactly what Bishop Silas told me! He said our true moment of blessing hasn't arrived yet. He also said that some things cannot be forced, and the harder you try to force it, the further away it gets."

Hearing that name, Emmy’s surprise only deepened. This Bishop Silas was becoming increasingly mysterious to her, almost as if he truly had the power to decipher the secrets of fate. Emmy could not help but ask, "Did he give you an exact timeframe for when this blessing is supposed to arrive?"
