CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Jamie was momentarily at a loss for words, her throat tight with emotion. Years ago, she had wronged Ben, and now, how could she possibly harm him to such an extent? Ben loomed over her, his intense, dark eyes locking onto her unsettled gaze.

"Or is it that even you can feel a twinge of guilt, a flicker of hesitation?" he pressed, his tone dripping with mockery.

Jamie forced a weak, sarcastic smile. "Ben, there's probably no one more heartless than me, right? If I had a soft heart, I wouldn't have left you for money back then."
