CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Chapter 1908

"My father's interest is just a passing phase," Caleb said calmly. "Once he realizes there's no outcome, he'll naturally let it go. I've been in love with someone who didn't love me back it was exhausting. So why would I willingly enter a marriage with someone I don't even have feelings for?"

Caleb didn't want a marriage without love, and he certainly didn't want the worst-case scenario-a child born into such a situation. Even though Vera had suggested signing an agreement where the child would stay with him, Caleb couldn't bring himself to agree.

How could a child grow up happy without a mother's love? And what would he do when the child inevitably started asking for their mom?

He couldn't bear the thought of the child calling someone else "mom." And if he stayed with Vera just for the child, wouldn't that create a miserable, loveless relationship for both of them?

Vera hadn't expected Caleb to be so straightforward and decisive. What could she say to that?

Just as she had resolved to give everything up and fight for her last chance, Caleb had shut it all down with such finality. Even with his father pressuring him, Caleb had never entertained the thought of compromising his own values to appease anyone.

And so, what about her?
