CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1579

Jamie’s heart nearly jumped out of her chest.

She rushed over to check on Charlie. “Are you okay? Does it hurt? Let Mommy blow on it.”

“It doesn’t hurt. I just accidentally bumped into that lady.” Charlie mumbled, clutching the hem of his shirt awkwardly.

Jamie looked up, ready to apologize, but the woman didn’t say anything and simply turned and walked away.

Did she look scary or something?

“That woman was wearing a mask and didn’t seem trustworthy. Don’t bother,” Ben said with a frown.

Hearing that, Jamie decided to let it go.

Thankfully, Charlie wasn’t hurt.

“You worry too much about Charlie. A small fall like this won’t hurt him,” Ben remarked.

“I know. I just can’t change overnight,” Jamie admitted.

She understood what Ben was saying. But habits, especially those built on years of fear and caution, weren’t easy to break.

They didn’t dwell on the incident, quickly putting it out of their minds as they continued to help Charlie pick out his school supplies.

Meanwhile, the woman who had walked away took off her mask in a secluded corner and discreetly snapped a photo with her phone, capturing the harmonious scene of the three of them—like a picture-perfect family.

By the time they were done, Jamie had bought Charlie a pencil case, a backpack, and a set of pencils. Loaded with supplies, they also treated Charlie to some ice cream.

The day’s excitement left Charlie completely worn out, and he fell asleep in the car on the way home.

Jamie cradled him for a while, but her arms grew sore. Noticing her flexing her wrist, Ben offered, “Let me take him. There’s still a while before we get home, and you must be tired.”

Jamie hesitated but carefully passed Charlie over.

In Ben’s arms, Charlie stirred slightly before settling into a comfortable position, sleeping soundly.

Jamie watched them, her expression unconsciously softening.

Soon, she felt her own fatigue catching up to her. Her eyelids grew heavy, and before she realized it, she had dozed off, leaning against Ben’s shoulder.
