CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Chapter 1646

"Why? If not for Jamie, I'm the one who understands you best. I've always been the one standing behind you," Winnie said, her voice rising in urgency. Ben looked at her deeply. "The fact that you don't understand why-that's the reason."

It took her a while, but eventually, Winnie stood up. "I understand."
