CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Chapter 1626

Jamie felt a sting in her nose, barely holding back the tears threatening to fall.

Linda grew anxious, sensing Jamie's growing sadness. She repeated softly, "Don't cry. Jamie, don't cry."

Hearing those familiar words brought Jamie back to her childhood. Her mom had always comforted her the same way.

With tears glistening at the corner of her eyes, Jamie managed a smile. "I'm not crying."

She quickly wiped her eyes and put on a brave face.

Only when she composed herself did Linda relax and release her grip.

"Mom, if I sent you to a place where you couldn't see Charlie and me as often, would you be okay with that? Would you blame me?" Jamie asked cautiously.

"What place? Where would I go?" Linda's anxiety grew, her tone turning uneasy.

The sight of her mother's distress instantly made Jamie abandon the thought. She quickly backtracked, "It's nothing, just kidding. Don't worry about it. Go back and play with Charlie."
