Jamie's eyes landed on the large bouquet of red roses in Ben's hands.

"You knew about this all along, didn't you?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

"That's why I got you these flowers. Will you forgive me?" Ben's gentle smile softened his usually reserved demeanor, revealing a rare warmth that seemed out of character. Jamie hesitated for a moment before taking the bouquet. "Fine, I'll forgive you... but just this once," she said, pretending to sound reluctant.

Ben chuckled at her tone, his amusement evident as he turned his head slightly to hide another laugh.

Meanwhile, Charlie covered his face with his hands, but the little boy's curiosity got the better of him, and he peeked through his fingers to watch.

Nina cleared her throat loudly. "Alright, we get it-you two are ridiculously cute. But could you save it for later? If we don't start eating soon, the food's going to get cold!" Jamie pulled Charlie close and led him to the table.

Everyone sat down to eat together.

Looking around the table, Jamie noticed the spread of dishes. The nanny wasn't in sight, and she couldn't help but wonder who had prepared everything. She turned to Nina. "Did you make all of this?" Nina nodded as she served Orion some food. "Part of it, yes. But some of it was made by your husband." She motioned toward Ben with her utensils.

Jamie glanced at Ben in surprise, her eyes filled with curiosity. "Weren't you at the office all day?"
