Jamie’s expression shifted almost imperceptibly as she asked, “Charlie, do you like that Uncle Ben a lot?”
“I do! He brings me lots of stuff, and I like that grandma too.”
“I see.”
Jamie looked at Charlie who was oblivious to the truth that the “Uncle Ben” he adored was actually the father he had always longed for.
Her chest tightened with an uncomfortable heaviness.
For a moment, doubt crept in. Had she made the right choice back then, hiding the truth and keeping Ben and the Lucas family in the dark?
Maybe if she hadn’t, Charlie wouldn’t have grown up without a father in his life.
Charlie suddenly stopped, his face lighting up with joy as he spotted someone. Letting go of her hand, he ran ahead.
“Uncle Ben!” he shouted, launching himself into Ben’s arms.
Ben crouched down to scoop him up. The usually reserved man, known for his detached demeanor, softened visibly in Charlie’s presence, even smiling.
“I haven’t visited in a couple of days. Were you good?”
“I was! And Mom’s taking me out to play today. Uncle Ben, can you come too?”
Charlie’s eager eyes turned to Jamie, who snapped out of her daze. She reached over and pinched Charlie’s chubby cheek, her tone playful. “You little rascal, you forget all about me the moment you see your Uncle Ben.”
“No, I didn’t!” Charlie giggled, grabbing her hand.
Jamie’s gaze softened as she smiled at him.
Ben watched the exchange quietly for a moment before turning to Jamie. “Let’s get going. It’s getting late.”
Jamie carried Charlie into the car. Since he insisted on sitting next to her, she didn’t take the passenger seat.
Ben had arranged for a driver and sat with them in the back, with Charlie in the middle.
