CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Chapter 1809

Just minutes earlier, Wilfred had watched this person leave with his own eyes.

Answering the call, his tone was cold. "Why are you calling?"

Xavier's voice came through, calm but pointed. "Dr. Wilfred, I just wanted to thank you and offer a bit of advice. Not everyone can endure your aloofness and indifference. Sometimes, it wouldn't hurt to take the initiative."

Wilfred's grip on the phone tightened, his brows drawing together sharply. "What are you trying to say?"

He was already considering hanging up.

It was as if Xavier could read his thoughts. "Have you ever considered that maybe the other person isn't unwilling?"

The words struck Wilfred like a bolt.

Wilfred could sense Karina's feelings for him.

But his past and his self-awareness painted a starkly different picture of himself dull, detached, like a withered tree. Others might look at him and think he could bloom again with the arrival of spring, but Wilfred knew better. He had long since withered, lifeless at the core. Karina, however, was nothing like him. She was vibrant, alive, and full of potential. They were fundamentally different, walking paths that would never truly align.

And so, he made a choice-one-sided and resolute. He pretended not to understand her feelings, using his coldness and detachment to push her away. He kept himself in denial, feigning indifference as if nothing had ever happened.
