CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Chapter 1642

"Mommy, why haven't you come yet," Charlie muttered to himself, his small voice lost in the chaos of the bustling schoolyard.

At that moment, a woman in a black dress with long flowing hair appeared, her steps unhurried. She crouched down to meet his gaze and asked gently, "Are you Charlie?"

Charlie looked at the unfamiliar lady, his curiosity piqued. After a moment of scrutiny, his eyes widened in surprise. She looked so much like his aunt! But uncertainty lingered in his young mind, so he cautiously replied, "You look familiar."

Winnie smiled faintly, a glimmer of complexity in her eyes as she studied the child before her. She already knew exactly who he was. "I know your mom pretty well. We're... friends."

"She might be held up on the way. How about this? Come with me, and we'll wait for her together at a nearby cafe. It'll be more fun than standing here."
