My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

then nodded. "Yes, I've visited volcanic regions before." Erin clapped her hands lightly, as if solving a puzzle. "Prolonged exposure to high heat can impact certain aspects of fertility—not necessarily the quality of your, uh, contribution, but its ability to pair with an egg. To put it simply, your system is… selective. You may need to, um, expand your options to find compatibility." Monbatten sighed deeply. "I already have over a hundred women in my court." "Then," Erin said, folding her arms, "you'll need to ensure you visit one every three days. That way, each person gets their turn annually. Busy schedule, huh?" Monbatten's frustration deepened. "I'm not interested in numbers. I just want a child—any child, even a daughter. My throne needs an heir. Surely, there's another way?" Erin tilted her head, resting a hand on her chin.

Lewis stepped closer, his deep voice carrying an undercurrent of curiosity. "Who looks familiar?" "Monbatten," Keira replied without hesitation. "I can't shake the feeling I've seen him before." Erin shrugged nonchalantly. "Probably on TV. Even if his country's small, a king showing up anywhere is bound to make headlines." With that, she popped a small pill into her mouth. "What's that?" Jenkins asked, raising an eyebrow. "Energy booster." "Are you feeling weak?" "Not at all," Erin said breezily. "I just forgot to pack snacks this morning. This'll do the trick." Jenkins
