Semua Bab CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery: Bab 1711 - Bab 1720

With Jamie’s growing ambitions and dedication, her schedule became increasingly demanding. She was out early and back late, and soon, their time together became so staggered that Ben hardly saw her at all. Having already experienced separation, Ben deeply cherished every moment he spent with Jamie. Now, with her so busy, he wasn’t having it. That evening, he cornered her. “I used to think we could balance everything—home, work, and family. But look at us now. Jamie, are you really okay leaving me and Charlie alone at home? Do I need to make an appointment just to see you?” Jamie hadn’t expected him to say that and let out a soft laugh. “I’m just busy right now, Ben. Once things settle down, I’ll have more time for you, okay?”She wanted to catch up to him, to stand beside him as his equal. She didn’t want to just be known as Mrs. Lucas, the wife who depended on Ben. She wanted to be someone who could walk shoulder to shoulder with him. Ben frowned, clearly unconvinced. “Ja

The doctor Nash recommended was Wilfred, a highly capable professional. Wilfred and Caleb were the ones who had performed surgery on Charlie. Without their skill, Charlie wouldn’t have recovered so quickly. “I’m not sick,” Ben protested firmly. There was no way he would admit to having any psychological issues. Nash’s voice was calm and low. “You spent those four years in treatment, so I get why you feel this way. But like Quincy said, you can’t deny how incredible Jamie is. She belongs to the world, Ben. You can’t keep her locked by your side forever. Besides, you’re not some overbearing CEO forcing love on her. You two haven’t even been married that long. Don’t let something so small turn into a real problem.”Ben understood everything Nash was saying. But how could he explain how he felt? It was an overwhelming mix of frustration and suffocating unease. He wanted Jamie to be brilliant and respected by the world, yet he also selfishly wished her beauty and talent were fo

Jamie smiled softly. “I got home late last night and didn’t see you. I was just about to call when Nash showed up with you.”Ben rubbed his temples, his headache a sharp reminder of the previous night’s drinking. “Take some vitamin C.” Jamie had everything ready and handed him a tablet. Ben accepted it wordlessly, his mind still clouded. He had spent the previous night wrestling with his thoughts, wanting to talk things through with Jamie. He had even considered flying to her business trip destination if she couldn’t make it home. But as it turned out, she had come back. He let out a bitter laugh. “Jamie, do you ever get tired of me acting like this?” “What are you talking about?” Jamie replied with a hint of exasperation. “You’re my husband. How could I ever get tired of you? You, of all people, should know how I feel.” Her wishes were simple: for their child to be happy and healthy, for Ben to stay well, and for the three of them to live a peaceful, joyful life togeth

Sophie wailed loudly, “Those were my gifts! You can’t take them away! Daddy, you always say people should keep their promises, but now you’re the one breaking your word! You’re a liar!”Her father let out an exasperated sigh. With the property titles returned, he had no desire to embarrass himself further. Ignoring Sophie’s protests, he hoisted her over his shoulder and marched away, leaving her kicking and squirming in frustration.Jamie ruffled Charlie’s hair gently. “She’s just a little girl who doesn’t understand these things. Don’t feel pressured, okay? But next time, try not to ignore people on purpose.”“Got it,” Charlie replied softly.When they got home, Mrs. Lucas burst into laughter as soon as she heard the story. “I never would’ve guessed my grandson would be such a heartthrob in kindergarten!”After a moment of humor, Mrs. Lucas added with a thoughtful tone, “Eight property titles—now that’s quite a marriage gift. If we start planning early, maybe it’s not such a bad

Nina stood firmly in front of him. “This is a major life decision. How can you say you’re not interested? Even the doctors and nurses at your hospital get time off. What are you, a machine that never stops working?“I know what you’re thinking,” she continued, her tone softening slightly. “You’re considering adopting a child. But adoption will never be quite the same as having one of your own. If you have the time and energy, why not just have a child yourself?” Her concerns weren’t unfounded. Many adoptive families face challenges—misunderstandings, conflict, or emotional distance. Wilfred chuckled lightly, brushing her worries aside. “Why would I adopt someone else’s child when you already have two of your own? Pharaoh entrusted me with one task: to watch over you and Orion. When Orion grows up, do you think he’d just leave me to fend for myself? I’m sure he’ll take me in. Then, I’ll be under the same roof as you again. That counts as a kind of companionship too, doesn’t it?”
