CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Jamie glanced at Linda. "I'll just get the door," she said softly before heading toward it.

Jamie looked up at Mrs. Lucas, who gave her a soft smile. "Charlie really wanted to see you. He's been so distracted at our house, so I thought I'd bring him back for a little while."
