CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1582

Jamie had originally come with the intention of helping Ben in some small way. She hadn’t planned on agreeing to his job offer so quickly, but seeing his exhaustion had changed her mind.

That evening, Ben invited her to dinner.

Jamie wanted to decline, but Ben cut her off. “Consider it a celebration for your new position. There’s a restaurant I think you’d like. We could pick up Charlie and bring him along.”

At the mention of Charlie, Jamie couldn’t find a reason to refuse.

Charlie rarely got to go out, and Jamie often felt guilty about that. She always wanted to make it up to him, even in small ways.

Ben drove them back to pick up Charlie, who had been at home with the helper. Since the helper hadn’t started dinner yet, Jamie told her there was no need.

When Charlie heard they were going out for dinner, he was thrilled. “Mommy, where are we going? Can we have burgers?”

Jamie started to say no, but seeing the excitement in his bright eyes, she changed her answer. “Okay, whatever you want.”

Charlie cheered, and his happiness brought an involuntary smile to Jamie’s face. She turned to Ben apologetically. “Sorry, I guess we won’t be going to the restaurant you suggested…”

Before she could finish, Ben was already instructing the driver. “Find a good burger joint.” Then he glanced at her. “What were you saying?”

“Nothing,” Jamie murmured, lowering her gaze as her heart skipped a beat.

They arrived at a casual diner. Unlike the greasy fast-food spots Jamie had imagined, this place was well-decorated and clean with a modern vibe.

Jamie felt relieved. It wasn’t that she had an issue with burgers, but she wanted to make sure the place was clean and family-friendly, especially with Charlie along.

When the food came, Jamie and Ben ate only sparingly, letting Charlie enjoy most of it. He devoured his meal with such enthusiasm that ketchup smeared across his cheeks.

Jamie grabbed a napkin and carefully wiped his mouth. “Look at you! You’ve got it all over your face.”
