CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Chapter 1582

Jamie had originally come with the intention of helping Ben in some small way. She hadn't planned on agreeing to his job offer so quickly, but seeing his exhaustion had changed her mind. That evening, Ben invited her to dinner.

Jamie wanted to decline, but Ben cut her off. "Consider it a celebration for your new position. There's a restaurant I think you'd like. We could pick up Charlie and bring him along." At the mention of Charlie, Jamie couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Charlie rarely got to go out, and Jamie often felt guilty about that. She always wanted to make it up to him, even in small ways.

Ben drove them back to pick up Charlie, who had been at home with the helper. Since the helper hadn't started dinner yet, Jamie told her there was no need.

When Charlie heard they were going out for dinner, he was thrilled. "Mommy, where are we going? Can we have burgers?"

Jamie started to say no, but seeing the excitement in his bright eyes, she changed her answer. "Okay, whatever you want."

Charlie cheered, and his happiness brought an involuntary smile to Jamie's face. She turned to Ben apologetically. "Sorry, I guess we won't be going to the restaurant you suggested..." Before she could finish, Ben was already instructing the driver. "Find a good burger joint." Then he glanced at her. "What were you saying?"

"Nothing," Jamie murmured, lowering her gaze as her heart skipped a beat.
