CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery
Chapter 1548

It was obvious that Jamie had something to say.

Without hesitation, Ben instructed the nanny to take Charlie outside to play, then turned back into the room.

"Just say whatever's on your mind."

"This time, you helped me bring the child back, and I owe you for that. But I can't stay here for long. Now that the child is back, it's time for me to leave," Jamie said.

Ben raised an eyebrow. "You're cutting ties so quickly after getting what you needed?"

"I just don't want to trouble you any further," Jamie replied, coughing lightly to mask her discomfort.

"Fine." Ben's voice was icy as he threw out the single word before turning and walking away.

Jamie hadn't expected him to agree so readily and stood there stunned for a moment. But this was probably for the best. Dragging things out would only complicate matters.

She had wanted to ask about Winnie's condition but didn't feel comfortable calling him back. She decided to wait until the afternoon before leaving to ask.

Outside, Ben spotted Charlie playing with the nanny. His eyes flickered, and he strode forward, handing a toy to Charlie.

"Your mom's planning to leave. What are your thoughts on that?"

"Of course, I'm going with Mom," Charlie said without hesitation.

Ben smiled faintly. "But your mom isn't in good health right now, and you're not very strong either. If you leave here, she'll be the only one taking care of you. If she gets sick, it'll be really hard on her." "So what should we do?" Charlie suddenly lost interest in playing, looking up at Ben with wide, blinking eyes.

Ben chuckled. "Look around. At my place, there are plenty of staff who can take care of both you and your mom. There's even a family doctor on call to manage any health issues. You'd both be well cared for." "You're not just saying this to keep my mom here, are you?" Charlie asked suspiciously.

Caught off guard by Charlie's perceptiveness, Ben felt a bit awkward.

"I'm only concerned about you two."

Charlie let out a long sigh. "Alright then. I'll go talk to Mom."

When Jamie was getting ready to leave, she was surprised to hear Charlie's change of heart.

"What's so great about staying here? No matter how fancy the place is, it's not home. Let's go back."

"But I want to stay here, Mom. It's so much fun!" Charlie pouted, looking pitiful. "Plus, the nanny makes really tasty soup for me."

Jamie sensed something was off. "Did Uncle Ben say something to you?"

Charlie shook his head, his voice

soft and hesitant. "No, I just feel like it's better to recover here. You're not well, and if we go back, you'll have to take care of me. That'll be too much for you." en FindNovel

Jamie was touched by her son's thoughtfulness and began to waver.

"But I already said we'd leave."

"It's okay, Mom. Uncle Ben is so nice. He'll definitely let us stay," Charlie said eagerly. Jamie nodded and let out a deep sigh. "Alright, but we'll leave once my fever is gone." "You're the best, Mom! You're my hero!" Charlie beamed with happiness.

Still, Jamie couldn't shake the feeling that Ben had something to do with all this. He had made it clear

earlier that he didn't want hepto leave.

After mulling it over, she decided to confront him before making a final decision. But just as she was about to golook for him, the doorbell rang repeatedly downstairs.
