Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1591

James let out an unbothered chuckle, ducking his head to kiss the crown of her hair. "Right now, my wife is the absolute highest priority. I'll spend two more months at most cleaning out those illegal labs." He looked down at her stomach, his expression becoming impossibly serious. "After that, you'll be heavily pregnant and ready to give birth. I absolutely cannot miss it this time. If I do, I'd be nothing but a useless prop of a husband."

Emmy's heart flooded with warmth, and a bright smile danced across her eyes. She reached around to hug his waist, offering an earnest reminder. "Then you absolutely must stay safe while you're here. I'll be waiting for you in Boston."

"I will. Don't worry," James promised, tightening his arms around her.

Thinking of something else, Emmy voiced another concern. "Oh right, Brett and the others rushed all the way to Nelia this time. Will they face disciplinary action when they get back?" After all, Brett and the rest held official military positions now. Abandoning their posts without authorization was no small offense.

But James simply patted her shoulder, his tone completely relaxed. "They will definitely be disciplined, and they'll probably all have to endure a round of internal investigations. But you don't need to worry. Every single one of them is a top tier asset that their units spent a massive amount of effort poaching. So even if there is a punishment, it won't be a big deal." He raised an eyebrow. "At worst, they'll each have to write a thousand word self reflection and go through the motions."

Emmy finally breathed a sigh of relief. Figuring it was best to lay everything out to keep her from overthinking, James decided to explain the rest of his plans clearly. "Also, those refugees you brought onto the ship have officially left the country illegally now. When I negotiate with Calony in a bit, I plan to factor them in as well. We might as well have them immigrate to Fiji and settle down there. No matter how you look at it, staying there guarantees far more safety than going back to Nelia."

Emmy nodded, her eyes full of vigorous agreement. "That's wonderful. For them, just surviving and having enough to eat is more important than anything else."
