My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage by Eva Blackwood

Chapter 507:

Kristopher, who had just stepped away from a phone call, walked into the room and placed a hand on Carrie’s shoulder.

His touch was casual, but the pride in his expression was unmistakable. “Of course,” he said with a grin. “This project’s success is thanks to my wife.” His voice carried a teasing note as he turned to the group. “When the bonuses roll in, don’t forget who deserves a share.”

The executives nodded eagerly, their respect genuine. “Of course, Mrs. Norris! Just name it, and it’s yours.”

Carrie smiled, her cheeks flushing faintly under their praise. She gave Kristopher a playful nudge, her tone self-deprecating. “It wasn’t all me. Timing played a big role. If the film had been shot a year earlier or later, it wouldn’t have coincided so perfectly with the government’s plans.”

You’re still young, and your body will recover just fine. When Billie had her kids…” Before she could finish, a noticeable shift swept through the room. While a few of the executives maintained neutral expressions, most of the family members’ faces showed obvious alarm. Billie, caught off guard, even dropped her spoon in surprise. Deep in thought, Carrie’s hand drifted instinctively to her lower abdomen. Ever since taking the pregnancy test, she often felt as if she could sense the baby’s heartbeat.
