Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1581

Emmy's heart clenched violently, a sharp pain piercing her from the brokenness in his tone. She asked in return, "Then before you met me, what were you relying on to live?"

James did not even need to think to give an answer. "Relying on the belief of avenging my brother Jamie." He risked his life in the sea of fire, dodged bullets, and slaughtered his way through the business world all to uncover the truth behind his brother Jamie's death.

Emmy said no more, only looking at him quietly.

James paused, his tone growing increasingly bitter. "In half a year at most, I will be able to completely close the net and thoroughly bring the mastermind behind Jamie's death to justice. But Emmy, once my vengeance is fulfilled, once the belief that has been supporting me is completely gone... in that world, what would I rely on to keep living?" He looked into Emmy's eyes, as helpless as a lost child. "Would the me in that world without you be a hundred times more pathetic than I am now?"

Emmy's eyes instantly filled with tears. She forcefully tightened the arms wrapped around his lean waist, pressing her cheek tightly against his chest. "No, you would not, James. You have to know that even in a parallel timeline with no intersection, an outstanding man like you would absolutely never be lonely forever. When you have completed your mission and let go of your hatred, you would definitely meet another woman who makes your heart race. She might have a completely different personality from me, but she would definitely use all her strength to warm the coldness in your bones, smooth over the wounds in your heart, and make you willing to go through fire and water for her." Emmy tilted her head up slightly and gently kissed his chin. "James, everyone's life has its own destined trajectory. No matter which timeline, every life will ultimately find its own unique fulfillment. So, you simply do not need to fret over those illusory parallel universes." She cupped his cold, chiseled face, letting him feel the warmth of her palms. "Do you feel it? In this world, the warmth of my palms is the most real existence. In this world, you met me, and I met you. We not only have our adorable twins, Joey and Dolly, but now there is a new baby growing right here." She took his large hand and placed it gently over her slightly bulging abdomen. "A person's life is actually very short, and we might only get to share this one lifetime together. So, do not look back at the past, and do not dwell on the emptiness of parallel worlds. We just need to hold on tightly to each other and cherish every single minute and second of the present. This is our strongest weapon against any regrets, isn't it?"

After hearing these words, James did not speak again for a long time. The manic panic and fear that had ravaged his chest all day because of Dean's crazy words were completely smoothed over by her few sentences. He found himself truly ridiculous. A man who licked blood off knife edges was actually not as clear headed as his own wife. Yes, to hell with parallel universes! As long as the current Emmy was still in his arms, as long as she still loved him, that was enough.
