CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1455

“Thank you, Winnie,” Jamie forced a smile.

Standing upright, she walked with Winnie up the stairs, though the moment she lifted her leg, a sharp ache shot through her back. Ben had been rough with her earlier, venting his anger without a care for her discomfort.

Noticing Jamie’s strained movements, Winnie gently held her arm. “Jamie, is your back acting up again?”

“Yes… yeah,” Jamie mumbled evasively.

Winnie’s concern deepened. “It’s no wonder, with how hard you’ve worked these past few years, taking on so many jobs. Your back wouldn’t be in this shape if you hadn’t pushed yourself so hard. You used to have no choice, but now you’ve got me and Jack. You don’t have to carry all the weight on your own.”

Jamie could only swallow her pain. Winnie believed Jack’s presence would ease her burdens, yet in reality, it only added to her stress.

Once they reached the bedroom, Winnie opened the wardrobe and pulled out a set of silk sheets. “Jack prepared these for you himself. He may not be great with words, but he’s incredibly thoughtful.”

“Not great with words?” Jamie nearly laughed at the absurdity. Ben was nothing short of eloquent. In court, he was a commanding force.

When they had been in love, he could sweep her off her feet with a few words. Even today, at the engagement party, a single remark from him kept her on edge.

How could a man like him possibly be described as "not great with words"? That would only make sense if he simply couldn’t be bothered to speak to Winnie. But if that were the case, and there was hardly any real communication between them, what kind of relationship did they really have?
