CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1827

The woman didn’t mind at all. She knew very well that most people wouldn’t get involved in something like this.

Karina’s willingness to help came from her kindness. Even if things didn’t work out, the woman wouldn’t hold it against her.

Karina, however, felt a sense of responsibility. After confirming the meeting time with Wilfred, she took the day off, postponing all her work to focus on the matter.

When the time came, Wilfred drove to pick her up.

At the café, a man stood and offered his hand. “Hello, Ms. Norman. I’m Attorney Jenkins from Birkham Law Firm. You can call me Jenkins.”

Karina shook his hand with a polite smile. “Thank you, Mr. Jenkins. I appreciate you coming all the way from Birkham.”

“It’s no trouble. I happened to be in Atlantis for another matter. Besides, when a friend asks for a favor, it’s not something I can refuse.”

After a bit of small talk, the group sat down, and the conversation shifted to the case.

Since Mr. Jenkins had only been given a general idea beforehand and didn’t know the details, Karina explained everything from start to finish.

Mr. Jenkins, a highly professional lawyer, listened attentively, nodding occasionally and asking questions when needed, all while taking notes.

By the time Karina finished, her throat was dry. She reached for her drink, but Wilfred slid a glass of warm water toward her.

“Drink this. You’ve been feeling like you’re coming down with something lately. Warm water is better for a dry throat,” he said casually.

Without thinking, Karina instinctively picked up the glass and took a sip. Only after drinking did she realize that she had followed Wilfred’s suggestion without a second thought. And this glass of water—it was his, though untouched.

She hesitated, glancing at him out of the corner of her eye.

Wilfred didn’t seem to notice anything unusual. He was calmly browsing the menu, his movements refined and composed, the expensive cufflinks on his sleeves glinting subtly under the light. His demeanor was aloof and elegant, almost untouchable.
