CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1534

Unfortunately, Ben couldn’t see through any of this.

Summer, however, wasn’t the least bit intimidated. Shaking her head confidently, she said, “I’ve never done anything to upset him. I don’t believe that just exchanging a few words with him would make him kick me out.”

Mrs. Lucas opened her mouth, about to say something, but seeing Summer’s confident demeanor, she hesitated. Maybe, just maybe, Ben might actually feel too awkward to reject her outright.

Suddenly, Mrs. Lucas had an idea.

Hearing it, Summer’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Mrs. Lucas, that’s an excellent plan! We should act quickly before he does anything else irrational.”

Not wanting to stoke his anger further, she replied calmly, “Ben, if I don’t eat and starve to death here, what happens when Charlie comes back and I’m not here to see him?”
