CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

"Why make things harder on yourself when you can let others handle it?" Mrs. Lucas said with a matter-of-fact tone.

Ben couldn't help but laugh, exasperated yet amused. "Mom, you also need to think about Jamie's health. For four years, she worked tirelessly to take care of Charlie, waking up early and staying up late. She hasn't been with me for that long. Don't you think she deserves to enjoy life a little before going through the exhaustion of another pregnancy? You know as well as anyone that pregnancy is no easy journey, and childbirth is even harder."

His words immediately silenced Mrs. Lucas.

Seeing her hesitation, Ben added, "Having just one child might feel a little lonely, but Jamie and I will definitely have a second, maybe even a third. You don't need to worry. We're just letting nature take its course for now."

"Alright, I'll leave it to you two," Mrs. Lucas finally relented. She realized that pushing further would seem like she didn't care about Jamie's well-being.

Still, she looked concerned. "I just hope Jamie doesn't misunderstand my intentions. Do you think she'll take it the wrong way?"

"Of course not," Ben reassured her. "Jamie knows you mean well and understands you're not that kind of person."
