CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1028

Freya's voice was raspy as she spoke. "Micah, we've had a good time together these past few weeks, haven’t we?"

She stepped closer to him, tilting her head up to meet his gaze since he was much taller. His sharp features, like a perfectly sculpted work of art, were exactly the kind Freya was obsessed with.

Micah pressed his lips together, his mind drifting back to their time together. It had indeed been enjoyable.

Freya had never thrown tantrums and she was always considerate of him. But the weight of responsibility on his shoulders was immense. He was leading the Yaren Tribe people, and much of his future would be dedicated to them. In the end, wouldn’t he be neglecting Freya?

"Freya, you agreed to a month. People should keep their promises," Micah said quietly, trying to use the idea of honoring commitments to steer her away from further attachment.

Freya felt her throat tighten, her heart squeezed painfully. They say time reveals true feelings. Micah had seen her sincerity, yet he remained so stubborn!

Her breathing grew heavier. "Micah, it’s true you're the leader of Yaren Tribe, and you’re committed to helping our people progress. But you need a life, too. Just because you’re a leader doesn’t mean you can’t marry."

Micah knew that was true, but the memory of his father’s guilt over neglecting his mother still haunted him. He did not want to owe anyone anything, and if he had to sacrifice himself for Yaren Tribe, so be it.

"You’re right, but I don’t have the emotional bandwidth. Freya, one month is all I can offer you. Don’t get your hopes up."

"No," Freya insisted, her voice resolute. "I want this, and I’ll fight for it. I don’t care about what you said. I understand you, and I believe that Yaren Tribe will flourish in the future.

"If you’re worried about neglecting me, I can help you build a better Yaren Tribe. We can both be busy with our work, serving the people. How could you feel guilty then?
