CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1631 - チャプター 1640

Ben casually handed Jamie the keys, his tone light. “I have no use for it.”Though it sounded nonchalant, it was true.Jamie hesitated for a moment before accepting the keys. Having a car of her own wasn’t a bad idea. It would make it easier to get Charlie to and from school without always relying on Ben for transportation.“Well, since you won, the Gem Harbor project is yours now,” Tim announced unexpectedly.The surprise left Jamie stunned, while Ben remained composed, as if he had anticipated this outcome. He exchanged a few polite words with Tim and then led Jamie back to the car.On the drive, Jamie couldn’t help but ask, “Did you know this would happen?”“Know what? That Tim’s event was a cover for vetting partners? If not for that, do you think he’d bother hosting a party just to play games?” Ben’s calm gaze flicked toward her, his tone matter-of-fact.His air of confidence made it seem as though everything had unfolded exactly as he planned. Jamie nodded, falling silent

Jamie was stunned, her shock coming in waves over a few sentences. “So, how did Noah become part of the family?”“He’s more like an adopted son of the Lucas family, though very few people know about it,” Ben replied, his brows furrowing slightly. It was clear he had been kept in the dark about this, too.Mr. Lucas had done it for one reason which was to give Ben a rival, a grindstone to sharpen his edge. The result? Neither Ben nor Noah could truly be considered the winner.Jamie felt a flicker of concern. Putting herself in their shoes, she couldn’t imagine discovering that someone she had been competing with for years had only been placed in her path as a tool for someone else’s agenda. She would be furious. Anyone would.She was about to offer some comforting words when Ben spoke up, his tone surprisingly calm. “If this had happened in the past, I’d already be on my way to confront him. But now... oddly enough, I’m not angry.”“Why not?” Jamie’s heart skipped a beat at his un

Ben had wrapped up his work at the Lucas Corporation, but instead of taking a breather, he went straight to Jamie's home. Jamie hadn’t gone to the office that day. She was busy tidying up and preparing to pick Charlie up from preschool. After mopping the floor, she changed into fresh clothes, ready to head out. That was when Ben arrived. He took one look at her neatly dressed appearance, strode over, and gently clasped her hand. “Perfect timing. I wanted to take you somewhere, and since you’re already ready, we can leave now.” “Does it have to be today?” Jamie hesitated, unsure of what he had in mind. To her, nothing was more important than picking up Charlie. “I was actually planning to pick Charlie up. You can come with me and stick around for a bit. I think it’ll be good for you to spend some time with him.” Jamie had been mulling over when to reveal Ben’s true identity to Charlie. The sooner the two spent quality time together, the easier it would be for Charli

Summer's sharp gaze bore into Jamie like daggers. Without warning, she reached out, intent on yanking the wedding dress right off Jamie. But Jamie wasn’t someone to be pushed around. She grabbed Summer’s hand and gave a firm shove, sending Summer stumbling backward. Losing her balance, Summer almost hit the floor. “Jamie, how dare you lay a hand on me?” she snarled.In Summer's mind, Jamie had always been meek and submissive in front of Ben. Now, emboldened by his favor, she had the audacity to fight back. Not only had Jamie "stolen" Ben, but she had also won over his mother, who no longer favored Summer. The indignity of it all burned like acid in her veins. Consumed by rage, Summer lunged at Jamie again, but Jamie easily sidestepped her. This time, Summer went down hard, sprawled on the floor. Summer, the pampered daughter of the Larson family, had never been humiliated like this. Her high status once earned her the admiration of Mrs. Lucas. But now, thanks to Jamie, her life

The crowd’s response to Ben’s defense of Jamie was unexpected, with admiration replacing gossip. “That’s real courage—standing up for her in front of so many people. What a man!” “This is what a good man looks like.” “Now that’s true love.” “Miss, forced love never sweetens. Let it go. The only person getting hurt is you.” Each word hit Summer like a dagger, sharp and cutting. The situation felt laughable, painfully ironic. After firmly standing by Jamie, Ben addressed the onlookers one last time. “Even if Jamie were at fault, which she isn’t, it’s not your place to judge.” He then turned to Jamie, placing a protective arm around her. “Let’s go.” The two left, but Ben’s purpose in bringing Jamie to the boutique wasn’t forgotten. He was here for a reason, and that reason was to find the perfect wedding gown for her. Jamie, however, couldn’t shake the feeling that incidents like these would only multiply in the future. Ben’s public status alone guaranteed that
