CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1486

“If he had just been more like the other rich guys, just treating women like a pastime, then he wouldn't care if she left,” Ben thought, bitterness creeping into his mind.

If Winnie didn't see Jamie as her sister, she wouldn't have gotten dragged into this mess today.

Jamie remained silent, sensing Ben’s intentional jabs. As a lawyer and as someone who had once loved her deeply, he knew exactly what words would sting the most. She kept telling herself not to let his words get to her, to block them out, but they drilled into her like a spell.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Ben grabbed her face, forcing her to look directly at him. “Don't play dumb now. You’re plenty chatty when it comes to other men. Why is it that with me, you’re suddenly speechless?”

The door behind them creaked open. Winnie stepped out, noticing how close the two were. She stopped in her tracks, hesitation in her voice, “Jack, Jamie…what are you two doing?”

They were standing so close. It seemed almost too intimate. Winnie quickly dismissed the thought, reminding herself that her sister and her fiancé would never betray her like that.

Jamie instinctively tried to pull back, but Ben held firm, keeping his grip on her. "You saw everything," he said to Winnie.

“Jack, let go of my sister. What…what’s going on here?” Winnie’s eyes darted between them, desperate for an explanation.

“How about a kiss to make it all better? After that, we’ll call it done. No more talking about it, promise,” Winnie said, lifting herself on her toes to plant a kiss on his cheek.

Ben instinctively dodged, then quickly offered an excuse, “We’re in public, and there are cameras.”

Winnie looked at him, a bit puzzled. “We’re engaged. So what if there are cameras? We’re together openly.” Though a hint of disappointment crossed her face, she let it slide without pressing further.
