CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1920

Vera’s heart pounded violently.

“It was human nature, wasn’t it? When you were at your lowest and someone told you they had your back. How could you not feel something?” she silently remarked.

But she forced herself to stay rational.

She knew this wasn’t because Caleb had feelings for her.

It was just who he was—a man who took responsibility seriously.

The person in his heart wasn’t her.

So when she got home, she calmed down.

A few hours later, Caleb texted her, letting her know that he had arranged a meeting with Nash and had secured a dinner reservation. He sent over the time and location.

Vera nearly jumped in excitement.

“This is it! If I can lock in this deal, everything will turn around,” she muttered.

But then another thought hit her. She needed something appropriate to wear.

She hurried to her closet and started digging through it, tossing clothes aside in search of something suitable.

The commotion was loud enough to attract the attention of the only person still living in the house with her.

“Vera, what on earth are you doing in there?”

Her housekeeper, Aunt Tina, stood in the doorway, looking concerned.

After the Mason family went bankrupt, her father was hospitalized with a serious illness, and her older brother disappeared without a trace.

Their so-called relatives and family friends had all scattered, eager to distance themselves.

Only Aunt Tina, who had cared for her since she was a child, remained.

Vera had tried to send her away.

But Aunt Tina refused to leave.

So she let her stay, paying her wages as usual.

Even though the Mason family had fallen, thanks to Caleb and his father’s help, Vera still had some money on hand. And if this deal went through, their debts and her father’s medical bills would no longer be a problem.

Seeing Aunt Tina felt like seeing family. Without hesitation, Vera shared the good news.

“Aunt Tina, there’s hope for us.

“I have a meeting with a major investor. If it goes well, we won’t have to worry about our debts or Dad’s treatment anymore.”

Aunt Tina had watched Vera grow from a sheltered girl into someone who now carried the weight of the entire family on her shoulders.
