CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Mrs. Lucas came by.

Jamie hadn't expected her visit, and judging by Mrs. Lucas's expression, she wasn't thrilled to be there either.

Years ago, Mrs. Lucas had stood in the way of Ben and Jamie's relationship. She had believed that by providing Ben with a fresh start under a new name, he would rise to greater heights, free from the ties that bound him. But after everything that had happened, she had come to a realization.

Ben could never let Jamie go. And Jamie, despite all these years of hardship, had never betrayed Ben. In fact, she had selflessly raised Ben's only son, Charlie, without complaint.

Even though the one million dollars that Mrs. Lucas had given Jamie to leave, had long since resolved her family's financial troubles, Jamie had never come back asking for more. She had stood her ground and upheld her promise. Jamie was remarkable.

Mrs. Lucas found herself begrudgingly admiring Jamie. But Jamie spoke first, cutting to the chase. "There's no need for you to persuade me. You should talk to Ben. He's the one who refuses to let go."

Jamie had willingly played the role of the ruthless, money-driven woman, but despite that, Ben still refused to let her go.
