CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Chapter 1613

Jamie couldn't bear to leave so easily. "I'm not leaving. Don't try to push me away."

Ben stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, his silhouette obscured by the interplay of light and shadow. His expression was unreadable but carried an unexpected gentleness. "Charlie will be out of school soon. If he doesn't see you, he'll get anxious." Jamie felt as though she had been struck silent. Reluctantly, she left after ensuring Ben's assistant promised to keep an eye on him. Only then did she reluctantly head out to pick Charlie up.

When they got home, Charlie wandered through the house, searching for someone. Disappointed, he came back and asked, "Mom, isn't Uncle Ben coming over today?"

"Uncle Ben is tied up with something right now. He'll probably come by later. Can you wait for a little while longer, Charlie?"

Lately, Ben had been a constant presence, joining Jamie to pick Charlie up from school and often staying for dinner. Charlie had grown used to his company.

Still, Charlie was a considerate child. Though he looked disappointed, he didn't throw a tantrum and quietly waited. Jamie wished he would act out instead. His quiet patience tugged at her heart.

Thankfully, Ben did show up later that evening. Perhaps he didn't want to let Charlie down. When he arrived, his usual calm demeanor was back in place. "Sorry I'm late, Charlie. Look what I brought for you."
