Winning Her Heart Back (Emelie and William) novel Chapter 904

"Has it been four months already?"

As expected.

The next night, during the celebration banquet, Emelie shocked everyone when she revealed that she was already pregnant while politely declining to join in the toast.

This was even more surprising than the news of William's successful surgery.

The truth was only Emelie, Mona, and Ashley were unaware of William's surgery. Elias was left out on purpose because everyone knew him too well.

If Elias knew, Ashley would definitely find out. And Elias never kept secrets from Ashley. Once Ashley knew, how could Emelie not know?

However, apart from her two close friends, no one else knew that Emelie was pregnant.

The most stunned was Elias.

"Honey, you kept a secret from me?"

Ashley pretended not to hear him.

For the rest of the meal, Elias remained sulky and was stuck in his own thoughts.

Ashley had kept a secret from him. His honey had actually kept a secret from him. How could she have had a secret that she didn't tell him?

No one bothered to comfort him.

Next in line were the two moms.

Yennifer thought that she had done a great job helping William keep the surgery a secret from Emelie. But then Emelie had gone ahead and kept her pregnancy a secret from all of them.

When they realized that she had been juggling her early pregnancy with her year-end work and two major cases, the moms felt nothing but heartache.

Yennifer immediately called for the waiter. "Waiter! Please bring a few more dishes. I'd like a lemon poached sole with herbs, some beef and cabbage roll-ups, some hearty pork ribs, and a root vegetable stew, along with some pumpkin gratin with gruyère and Lobster Thermidor!"

These were all dishes perfect for pregnancy. They were all full of calcium, iron, and vitamins.

She had recently seen a menu for pregnant women when her friend's daughter had become pregnant.

Greta, meanwhile, quickly moved the dishes that weren't suitable for Emelie further away.

Emelie, who was resting her head on William's shoulder, was touched by her mother's care, but she also couldn't help laughing. She felt that keeping her pregnancy a secret had been the right decision.

If she had announced it earlier, it would have thrown her off her rhythm.

She wasn't someone who liked having her plans disrupted.

Then again, this child didn't really count as an unplanned surprise.

She and William hadn't used any protection since before the wedding.

In the past year of their marriage, she had been flying to Mercianna almost every week except for the last four months. Whenever there wasn't work that required her presence at Cloudex Corporation, she stayed in Mercianna.

She had stronger feelings for the Filo Group luxury line, which she had built from the ground up.

As Mona put it, Filo Group was her true princess, while Cloudex Corporation, even though it was also hers, was more like a lesser child. After Xanther Group officially declared bankruptcy, Cloudex Corporation was severely weakened. But even then, its foundations remained solid as it wasn't really a small company.

Moreover, Greta had settled in Mercianna and was now with Ashlyn.

With most of the people and things she cared about in Mercianna, it was only natural that Emelie frequently traveled there. Her married life with William wasn't lacking. She had mentally prepared herself for the possibility of pregnancy.

So, when she started feeling nauseous even at the sight of prawns and felt constantly tired and sleepy, she thought she might be pregnant. A quick test confirmed it.

Neither Emelie nor William had any bad habits, and neither of them smoked or drank.
