CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1588

Ben was exhausted. Jamie knew that and didn’t want to trouble him with every issue. Yet Ben still showed up.

“You came… I thought… you wouldn’t,” Jamie said, her voice wavering slightly.

Earlier, surrounded by an angry mob and nearly having her wrist crushed, she hadn’t uttered a sound of pain. But now, a hint of vulnerability crept in.

Perhaps it was just human nature to be strong through everything, only to falter when met with genuine concern.

Ben pulled her into his arms, her faintly reddened eyes breaking his composure. His shoulders trembled slightly as he murmured, “I’m sorry. I came too late.”

Jamie didn’t resist, quietly leaning into him for a moment.

The troublemakers were soon taken into custody, and things settled down. Jamie was about to get into Ben’s car when she noticed, out of the corner of her eye, a woman behaving suspiciously with a camera.

“That woman’s a paparazzo!” she exclaimed.

Ben’s sharp gaze followed hers, and the cold intensity of his eyes froze the woman in her tracks. She turned to flee, but she didn’t get far before being caught and brought back.

Ben examined the camera, his expression growing darker with each photo he scrolled through.

Jamie didn’t understand his reaction at first until she took a look herself.

Her hands trembled with anger as she pieced it together. She glared at the paparazzo and suddenly recognized her.

“You’re the one we bumped into last time!” Jamie accused.

“I’m not—” the paparazzo began, but her denial was frantic and unconvincing.

Jamie’s suspicions crystallized. It was her. The so-called “accident” had been no accident at all. She must have been trailing them for candid shots the entire time.

“And those online rumors these past few days, were you the one who leaked those photos?” Jamie demanded.
