CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Wilfred paused for a moment after hearing Karina's suggestion, then nodded. "Sure. Let me grab my coat."

Karina didn't think much of it at first. But when they arrived at the house, she realized it was the same one he had been borrowing last time. Surprised, she asked, "Weren't you just renting this from a friend? You're still staying here?" "Not renting anymore," Wilfred replied casually, his eyes flicking toward her, a rare glimmer of something unspoken in them. "I bought it from him."

Karina didn't catch the look. She didn't know much about Wilfred's circle of friends, nor did she pry.

Inside, the same housekeeper from before greeted them. Familiarity made her more relaxed this time, and she didn't try to stop Karina from stepping into the kitchen. But halfway through the preparations, Karina discovered a problem-no gas, and the fridge was nearly empty.

The housekeeper smacked her forehead. "Oh no, I forgot to restock! I'll run out and grab some now."

"No, we'll go," Wilfred interjected smoothly.

Both the housekeeper and Karina blinked in surprise. Karina hadn't expected his response, but she didn't mind. Grocery shopping wasn't a big deal-she had done it plenty of times. Still, doing it with Wilfred was something new.
