CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1917

Caleb suddenly yanked Vera forward.

She hadn’t expected it at all and fell straight onto his chest.

The sudden movement startled her, and instinctively, she tried to push herself up. But before she could, Caleb tightened his grip around her waist, holding her even closer.

“Luna, I gave you my whole damn heart, and this is how you treat me?

“I proposed to you over and over again, like a fool, always at your beck and call. And what did you do? You trampled all over my feelings.”

His hold was crushing, his face so close that Vera could feel the sharp bridge of his nose pressing against her.

Then, as his lips moved closer, she panicked and quickly slapped a hand over his mouth.

“It’s not that I trampled on your feelings,” she said carefully, playing along.

If he thought she was Luna, then so be it. “It’s just that I’ve been too busy. I… I’m a career-driven woman. Love has always been a luxury to me.”

Drunk as he was, Caleb was at his most vulnerable.

This was the perfect moment for her to get closer to him.

But it would be taking advantage of him—and after everything he had done to help her, she couldn’t bring herself to do that.

“Is that so?” Caleb let out a bitter chuckle, his voice a low, murmured whisper.

Vera nodded. “That’s exactly it. Otherwise, why would I always call you first whenever something happens?”

“Then… will you marry me?”

Vera froze.

For a second, she wasn’t sure how to respond. But seeing how lost he looked, she simply whispered, “I will.”

She was only trying to comfort him, but the moment she spoke, Caleb pulled her in even tighter.

It became difficult to breathe. She struggled slightly and finally had to push against his chest. “Let me go, I—I can’t breathe.”

“Oh… sorry.”

Caleb immediately loosened his hold, releasing her completely.
