CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Chapter 1902

Caleb couldn't bring himself to violate his professional ethics, let alone lead by example in doing so. "There's no need for any agreements," Caleb said firmly. "I don't intend to turn this into a transactional relationship. You're still young, and you can take your time dealing with your debts."
