CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1708

Summer froze. “Mr. Lucas... which one? Was it Ben’s father?” she wondered.

After all, when Ben decided to go after her, no one could stop him, not even his own father.

“Which Mr. Lucas?” Summer asked, needing clarity.

The man in front of her looked at her incredulously, as though her confusion was ridiculous. “Do you really need us to spell it out for you? You know perfectly well who you crossed.”

Who else could it be but Ben?

Taking a deep breath, Summer braced herself. She couldn’t understand why Ben, known for his ruthless determination, would suddenly change his mind. Why would he repay her actions with forgiveness?

Curious and desperate for answers, she sought him out.

When she found him, Ben was with Jamie. The two of them looked utterly happy, their connection unmistakable. Summer felt a pang of emotion as she watched them, but before she could dwell on it, Jamie stepped forward to meet her.

Seeing Jamie up close left Summer momentarily stunned. How long had it been?

Jamie looked radiant, almost like a completely different person. The phrase "love is like nurturing a flower" came to mind. She seemed to bloom beautifully under Ben’s care.

“Was it you?” Summer’s voice was hoarse as she asked. “Were you the one who convinced Ben to let me go?”

The words burned her throat. She had spent so much time studying Ben, trying to understand him. She knew him to be someone who always paid back grievances in full. He was not the type to forgive easily.

Jamie’s response was calm and unbothered. “Not letting you go would mean we still cared about what happened. Ben and I are happy now. You’re nothing more than a passerby to us.”

A passerby.

The word pierced Summer’s heart without warning.
