Chapter 1489

"I remember when my sister was pregnant. She was near her due date and in such a rough state, emotionally shattered. I didn't want to ask about the father and reopen her wounds. But I assume the child's father is her ex-boyfriend."

Ben's exasperation grew. Her ex-boyfriend? That was him.

He kept his tone neutral and probed further, "So why did your sister break up with him? They had a child. They should've married, like we're planning to."

"Maybe he didn't want to settle down? I really don't know. She never talked to me about it," Winnie replied, oblivious to the depth of his reaction.

A wry smile played on Ben's lips. Jamie had really spun things in her favor. She had ended their relationship in a way that tore him apart, yet somehow managed to paint herself as the wronged party to her sister. Now, he was cast as the heartless one, the one who had abandoned her.

"It's been four years now," Winnie continued, oblivious to Ben's brooding. "Charlie's grown up so much. I keep telling her she should move on, find someone good for her and Charlie's sake."

The idea of Jamie moving on, dating, or marrying another man hit Ben like a fresh wave of anger. He would never allow it.
