CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1897

Luna's expression turned cold, her voice carrying a hint of disappointment. “Caleb, how can you say that? You confessed to me, you proposed, and I’ve always been clear in rejecting you. I’ve never strung you along.”

Her words stunned Caleb. If it had been before, her disappointed tone would have stopped him in his tracks.

“You’re right. You’ve always rejected me,” he admitted, his voice steady. “But you’ve also kept me close, leaned on me when you needed someone, knowing I would drop everything for you. I did it because I cared for you.”

Caleb’s eyes softened for a brief moment before hardening with resolve. “Luna, now that Simon’s back, you should focus on him. You two deserve to figure things out. As for Terry, just follow the advice I gave you—make his final days as peaceful as possible.”

Without waiting for her response, Caleb turned and left, his steps steady but heavy.

If Simon hadn’t returned, Caleb might have convinced himself to keep waiting, to stay in Luna’s orbit no matter the cost. But now, faced with reality, he knew he could never compete with Simon.

And if he couldn’t win, what was the point of holding on?

After leaving the upscale neighborhood, Caleb didn’t head back to the hospital. Instead, he made his way to a private club.

He had originally planned to call Hunter, but given the recent gossip linking the two of them, he decided against it. The last thing Caleb wanted was to drag anyone further into the rumors.

What he didn’t expect, however, was to run into Hunter at the very same club.

“Well, if it isn’t our busy Dr. Smith,” Hunter said with a teasing grin. “What brings you here? Rare to see you taking time to unwind.”
