CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1497

The next morning, Ben opened his eyes. He immediately noticed the blanket covering him. Could Jamie have been the one taking care of him last night?

He sat up, only to see Winnie sleeping on a makeshift bed on the floor.

“You’re awake? You were so drunk last night that you passed out on the way home. It was a struggle just getting you here. I even tried to wake you up for some tea to help sober you up, but you were completely out,” Winnie said as she woke up, too.

After straightening up the living room a bit, she went to the kitchen and came back with a mug of warm herbal tea. “I’m guessing the hangover’s mostly gone, so you probably don’t need anything strong. But this will soothe your throat.”

“You don’t have to go through all this trouble,” Ben replied, placing the mug on the coffee table without drinking it.

Ben looked around the room. It was just the two of them. Where had Jamie gone?

The thought nagged at him, so he asked directly.

“Jack, I’m not sure if I should say this…” Winnie hesitated but finally decided to bring it up. “Why are you so concerned about my sister?”

Maybe he didn’t see anything wrong with it, but to her, it was unsettling. What he brushed off as nothing, she couldn’t help but notice.

“You’re my fiancé, and Jamie is our sister. I appreciate that you care about her as family, but I feel like there should be some boundaries. She’s just staying with us temporarily, and she has her own life. We don’t need to worry about her so much.”

Ben’s eyebrows knitted slightly. Was Winnie trying to tell him what he could or couldn’t do?
