CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1608

It seemed like someone had upset Ben, leaving him in a sour mood, and now the assistant was left to smooth things over.

Jamie played along, cooperating seamlessly. Gradually, the conversation at their table became lively, with everyone shedding their initial stiffness.

Just as the atmosphere lightened, someone casually asked, "Jamie, have you ever thought about getting married?"

Ben's icy glare shot toward the speaker, sending a chill down their spine. The assistant’s heart practically jumped out of his chest.

Thankfully, Jamie deflected the question effortlessly. “If I meet the right person, maybe. But for now, I haven’t given it much thought.”

The food soon arrived, shifting the focus.

Everyone ate and drank their fill before heading home. Many had one drink too many and were swaying unsteadily. The assistant took charge, making sure they were all sent home safely.

Jamie, who had only sipped two glasses, was mostly fine, though her cheeks were flushed pink.

“Jamie, you’ll be fine getting home on your own, right? If so, I’ll head out.” The assistant was carrying a drunken colleague on his back, who smacked him absentmindedly.

Jamie couldn’t help but feel sorry for him and didn’t want to make things harder. “Go ahead, I can get a cab myself.”

“Alright then, I’ll leave it to you.”

The assistant hurried off. He wasn’t remotely worried about Jamie’s safety. With Ben watching over her, how could anything happen?

Once everyone else had left, it was just the two of them.

Ben grabbed Jamie’s bag with ease, his movements natural and matter-of-fact. “I’ll drive you home. Let’s go.”

Jamie instinctively reached for her bag but, seeing his unyielding demeanor, decided against arguing. It wasn’t worth the trouble.

Seated in the backseat of the car, Jamie leaned back, the delayed effects of the alcohol starting to hit her. She felt light-headed and slightly dizzy.

Ben noticed the prolonged silence and glanced over. She was leaning on one side, her eyes closed, breathing evenly. She looked as though she had fallen asleep.

“Mr. Lucas, there’s a bit of traffic ahead,” the driver announced, not lowering his voice.

Ben’s sharp glare cut through the air. “Keep your voice down. Take another route. Do I really need to teach you this?”

The driver instantly fell silent, not daring to say another word.

Jamie shifted slightly, her posture unstable as she dozed.
