CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Winnie felt a pang of guilt. How could she have doubted Ben's sincerity? "Alright, I'll let you get back to work," she said, a bit embarrassed. "We can talk more tonight when you get home."

Mrs. Lucas noticed Summer Lin glancing at her watch, and her smile softened. Unlike her stern demeanor with Jamie, she spoke to Summer with warmth. "Love can grow with time, dear. You have everything going for you; why wouldn't he like you? I wouldn't be surprised if he's more eager to marry you than you think."
