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."
