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.

"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.
