CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1892

Whenever Kieran’s sister was mentioned, the entire Stone family would fall into an unspoken silence. Even now, her name was barely uttered.

Karina picked at her food during the meal, barely eating, her thoughts miles away. Afterward, she stepped outside with a small bundle of flowers and a candle, placing them on the stone marker in the yard—a quiet tribute.

As she lit the candle, someone crouched down beside her.

“Let me help,” came a familiar voice.

She didn’t need to look up to recognize it—it was Kieran.

“About what happened back then…” Karina started, her voice tinged with hesitation.

But Kieran interrupted, as if he already knew what she wanted to say. “Let the past stay in the past. I won’t bring it up, and neither should you.”

He stared at the flickering candlelight, his tone quiet but firm. “When I was in rehab, I had a lot of time to think. Things weren’t supposed to end up this way.”

Who was at fault for how it all turned out? Himself, their parents, or maybe the entire Stone family? Likely, they all shared the blame.

Karina lowered her eyes, staying silent.

Once the candle burned low, Karina rose and left the Stone family home, carrying with her an ache she couldn’t quite describe.

As she approached the stairs, Kieran stood in the doorway, watching her for a long moment.

Just as she began descending, he called out suddenly, “Karina, don’t come back again. Forget everything from before and move on.”

Startled, she turned to look at him, but Kieran had already shut the door. It felt final, as though he was severing all ties between them. She hadn’t even had a chance to read his expression.

“Back already? How did it go?” Wilfred asked as he opened the car door, draping a coat over her shoulders.

A cold sensation fell onto her hair. Thinking it was rain, Karina glanced up and was surprised to see snowflakes swirling in the air.

She exhaled a warm breath, watching it dissipate in the cold. “It’s snowing.”
