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?
