CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Shane had no intentions of keeping it a secret from her, so he eased up on his frown as he answered, “Yeah.”

Jacqueline felt her heart ache when she saw the gentle look in his eyes but was able to keep her raging jealousy hidden from him. Instead, she acted like she was happy for him as she said, “That's great, Shane! Congratulations on becoming a father!”

Jacqueline gave a dismissive wave. “No need to thank me! Oh, by the way, do you prefer a son or a daughter?”

Given how cute those two are, I bet this child will be just as adorable!

It took Jacqueline every ounce of willpower she had to force a smile despite the burning jealousy in her heart. “Fair enough. You two look stunning, so your child would look great no matter the gender!”

When Shane noticed something off about her behavior, his smile vanished instantly. “I love my child no matter how he or she looks. Is that understood, Jacqueline?”

Jacqueline felt a mix of anger and sadness when she felt the hostility in his tone.
