CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1578

Jamie couldn’t shake the strange feeling in her heart, like she had been set up somehow. Was it just her imagination?

Shaking her head, she walked into the kitchen. Behind her, Charlie immediately stopped wiping his tears and sneaked a glance at her as she busied herself. “Uncle Ben, did I do a good job just now?”

Ben smirked. “Perfect.”

The little boy and the grown man shared identical mischievous grins.

After lunch, Charlie clung to Ben, refusing to let him go.

Jamie wanted to intervene, but Ben glanced at his phone and said, “The meeting was canceled. It’s fine. I have time.”

And so, Ben ended up staying, playing with Charlie until evening.

By the time the sky darkened, even Jamie felt a bit dazed, realizing she had somehow let Ben stay the entire day without really noticing.

When she walked him to the door, Ben handed her a small velvet box. “This is for you.”

“What is it?”

“Open it and see.”

Hesitating, Jamie opened the box, and her breath caught. Inside was a ring.

The moment she saw it, the ordinary little box suddenly felt burning hot in her hands. She couldn’t help but wonder if everything today had been carefully orchestrated by him.

Taking a deep breath, Jamie said, “I can’t accept this…”

“It’s not a proposal. Just a gift,” Ben interrupted casually. “Didn’t you buy that queen’s ring? I noticed you liked it, so I picked something similar.”

The ring inside shimmered with a brilliant silver glow. Its craftsmanship was extraordinary, far beyond the simple piece Jamie had purchased.

Jamie wasn’t naive. It was clear this ring wasn’t just “similar” to hers. It was in an entirely different league. If her queen’s ring had been a modest collectible worth a couple hundred thousand dollars, this was the kind of treasure that no amount of money could easily buy.

“I can’t accept it. It’s too expensive. I don’t deserve it,” she said firmly, closing the box and trying to hand it back.

Ben took a step back. “It’s yours now. Whether you keep it or toss it is up to you. I won’t interfere.”

Without giving her a chance to refuse again, he turned and left.
