CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Chapter 1688

"I was with Nash and the others today," Ben said as he leaned back into the couch. "Jamie, tomorrow I want to take you to an exclusive high-society gala. If there's anything you want or need for the occasion, just let me know."

For Jamie, the idea of attending such events held little appeal. What truly mattered to her was simply being by Ben's side. Yet, Ben seemed determined to introduce her to this world, using his connections and influence to elevate her standing and help her thrive. But Jamie's heart leaned toward a simpler life, one focused on family and the small joys within their home.

"You've already given me everything I could ever want-friends, a safe life, love. I don't feel drawn to these events. Can I skip this one?" she asked gently. Spending time with Charlie and bringing him over to play with Orion sounded like a better plan.

Ben's gaze softened. "If you really don't want to go, I'll respect your choice. But skipping out might not look great. There will be more occasions like this in the future, and it's good practice for what's ahead."

Jamie sighed, understanding his perspective. "Alright. You shower first, and I'll get some vitamin C for you."

Ben smiled and pulled her into his arms. "I've been thinking... I'd love for us to have another child one day. But I know how painful it is for you. I don't want anyone to think we're copying Nash and Nina, so let's take our time. For now, let's focus on enjoying life." Jamie's heart swelled at his thoughtfulness. "I'll go along with anything you decide," she said warmly. She loved him deeply, enough to have raised their son alone during their years apart.
