CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1904

Caleb had mentioned taking Vera back to the hospital. Even though she was the one driving, that should have been their destination.

But instead, she brought him to his villa. This clearly showed she had done her homework on him.

Vera pressed her lips together. “Since you asked me to drive, I figured I’d drop you off at your place first.”

“Is that so?” Caleb scoffed, a mocking smile playing on his lips. “And after you drop me off, how are you planning to get back?”

As he spoke, he leaned closer to her.

Vera instinctively leaned away, uncomfortable with the sudden proximity. She had never been in such close contact with a man before, and her intentions truly were as simple as dropping him off—nothing more.

But Caleb didn’t believe her. He grabbed her shoulder with one hand, his grip firm. “I’m asking you a question. Why aren’t you answering?”

Vera knew avoiding the question wouldn’t work with him. He wasn’t the type to let things slide.

“If I didn’t drop you off, how would you have gotten back?” she stammered. “I… I really didn’t think it through. Don’t worry—I won’t go into your villa. Worst case, I’ll just walk back.”

Caleb let out a low laugh. “Do you think I believe that?”

She clearly knew where he lived, so it was hard to believe she hadn’t considered all the possibilities.

And from where they came, the drive alone had taken nearly an hour. If she planned to walk back, it would take several hours.

Caleb’s expression darkened. “No matter how broke you are, there’s no need to play the pity card with me. Vera, if you walk out of here and something happens to you, who’s responsible for that?”

It was nighttime, after all.
