CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1250

Lydia cradled the cup in her hands. The temperature was perfect, not too hot. It was clear that Quincy had clearly checked beforehand.

She glanced over at him and saw him peeling roasted chestnuts for her, and her heart instantly felt warm.

Lydia was sensitive to both heat and cold, and many people, including her own parents, had called her spoiled. But Quincy never complained. He always took care of her, quietly and willingly, without a word of protest.

From the kitchen came the sounds of clattering pots and the rich aroma of stir-fried vegetables. Meanwhile, Lydia and Quincy exchanged light conversation in the living room.

The smile on Lydia’s face revealed that it wasn’t so much a conversation as it was Quincy trying to make her laugh and lift her spirits.

Watching from the kitchen, Mrs. Perez narrowed her eyes. The more she looked at Lydia, the more displeased she became.

"Look at him, fussing over her like that. I can hardly believe that’s our son," she muttered, casting Lydia a quick, judgmental glance, careful not to be caught. "I don’t know what kind of spell she’s cast on him."

"You’re the one who invited her over," Mr. Perez replied, not looking to stir the pot.

"You know why I did!" Mrs. Perez snapped. "It’s because of all those horrible things being said about her online. Have you seen it? It’s disgusting."

Mr. Perez gave a noncommittal nod. After years of marriage, he had learned it was often best just to nod along. Arguments never led anywhere, and it was easier to let her vent.

Seeing her husband’s indifference, Mrs. Perez's anger simmered but didn't fade. "No. I can’t let this continue. Even if they’re married, I’ll find a way to make them separate. A woman with a reputation like hers doesn’t deserve to be with our son."
