CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Chapter 1563

Jamie was stubborn, fixating on the idea that the current Ben Lucas somehow "belonged" to Winnie.

Ben let out a laugh, more out of exasperation than amusement. "You say I'm hers, but have you ever asked me what I think, Jamie? Or are you pretending not to see or hear anything?" He grabbed her hand and pressed it firmly against his chest.

The steady thumping of his strong heartbeat was unmistakable.

Jamie struggled to pull away. "Let go of me, Ben. I've already told you, we're done."

"And what about Charlie? Are you done with him too?" Ben's words landed precisely where he knew it would hurt.

Jamie froze.

Sensing her hesitation, Ben softened, his tone losing its edge. "Jamie, don't do this. Stop pushing me away."

There had never been anything between him and Winnie, a fact that pained him even more now that she was gone. His regret for her was real, but his heart ached far more for Jamie.

At the end of the day, Ben was only human, with desires and love that he couldn't hide. All he wanted was to hold on to the person he truly loved.
