CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery
Chapter 1519

Winnie's face twisted into a mocking smile as she glanced back at Charlie, her expression dark and unnerving. "What if the one who hurt me is your mom?"

Charlie froze, his innocent eyes wide with disbelief, but he still whispered, "Mom wouldn't hurt you, Aunt Winnie." Winnie let out a cold, bitter laugh.

Why should her sister's child thrive while her own never even had the chance to see this world?

Why should she endure such loss while Jamie got to keep everything?

"I want to see my mom," Charlie whimpered, his small voice trembling with unease.

Winnie forced herself to soften, her tone placating. "I was just joking. When we get to where we're going, I'll let you call your mom, okay?"

Charlie's worry eased as he turned his attention back to the scenery outside the car window, humming happily to himself.

Meanwhile, Jamie had been calling all morning, her worry mounting with each unanswered ring. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was deeply wrong. Winnie was stubborn, always keeping things to herself, but Jamie knew she had to explain what had happened the night before.

To her surprise, the call finally connected.

"Winnie, about last night, it's not what you think," Jamie blurted, desperation lacing her voice.

Winnie's voice came back, shaky but filled with anger. "You're still lying to me? Everything about you and him has been a lie. You think I'll believe you now?" Jamie's throat tightened, unable to form a defense.

"I'll take Charlie and leave," she said quietly, forcing the words out.

"You've already turned my life upside down!" Winnie spat, her voice seething with venom. "And now you want to leave? Jamie, I wish you'd never come back."

Jamie closed her eyes, her hands trembling as she clutched the phone. "What can I do to make it up to you?" she asked softly.

Winnie glanced at Charlie, his happy hums contrasting sharply with her turmoil. She lowered her voice, handing the phone to him. "Your mom wants to talk to you." Charlie's face lit up as he took the phone. "Mom!"

Jamie's heart clenched at the sound of his voice. "Charlie, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Mom. Aunt Winnie has so many fun things here!"

"That's good," Jamie said, her voice wavering but calm. "Be good, and I'll come get you in a couple of days, okay?"

"But I miss you," Charlie whined, his tone turning pouty.

"I miss you too, sweetheart," Jamie replied, swallowing back her emotions. "Just a little longer, and I'll be there."

"Okay!" Charlie chirped, his happiness as pure as ever.

Charlie was a thoughtful and

considerate child, well aware of everything Jamie had endured over the years. Despite his young age, he tried his best to comfort and support her in his own way. FindNovel

But as Jamie thought about how she had failed to provide him with a stable life and how she had not only fallen short in giving him happiness but had also exposed him to danger, her heart filled with sorrow

As this moment of bittersweet reflection played out, Winnie suddenly snatched the phone from Charlie's hands. His wide, startled eyes followed her, filled with confusion and disbelief.

"I need to talk to your mom. Go play for a bit," Winnie said flatly.

Walking onto a quiet balcony, Winnie pressed the phone to her ear. Her voice dripped with mockery. "You're good at playing the perfect mother, aren't you?"

Knowing Charlie was no longer near the phone, Jamie clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles turning pale.

Her voice was sharp with tension. "What exactly do you want?"

Winnie narrowed her eyes and said, "I need you to do something for me."
