NovelReadingChapter 1712 If he couldn't convince her with words, then he would find another way to act on it. After all, if Jamie really ended up pregnant, she wouldn't just get rid of it, would she? With that thought in mind, Ben started scheming. But before he could make much progress, Jamie announced she would be going on a business trip. That threw Ben into a sulk, his mood completely wrecked. Even at the office, he couldn't focus on anything. Seeing him so distracted, his assistant couldn't help but speak up. "Mr. Lucas, if you're not doing well, I can call Mrs. Lucas and ask her to cback early." The assistant had long noticed that ever since Jamie stopped working as Ben's secretary and started focusing on her own career, Ben had been a complete mess-clearly missing her every day.
"She's away on a business trip. How are you going to call her back?" Ben sighed heavily, looking completely defeated.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Then... what if I tell her you're sick?" the assistant suggested hesitantly.
It was a clever idea, but there was a problem. Ben was a grown man and the CEO of Lucas Corporation. If word got out that he faked an illness just to see his wife, wouldn't that be embarrassing? Not to mention, the Lucas family had plenty of other members around and he wasn't exactly alone.
"Forget it. That won't work," Ben grumbled.
"Then..." The assistant racked his brain for another solution, but Ben waved him off impatiently.
"Enough. Just leavealone. I'll think of something myself." Of course, the reality was that no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't cup with anything.
When it cto situations like this, the more advice, the better. Nash, who had managed to win Nina back and talk her into having a second child, surely had stips to share.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSo Ben immediately called Nash and arranged a small gathering. Unfortunately, Caleb and Hunter couldn't make it as they were tied up with their own affairs. That left Nash and Quincy as the only ones who showed up.
As soon as they saw Ben looking so miserable, Quincy couldn't resist poking fun. Well, well, Mr. Lucas, what could possibly have you so worked up? Isn't your life suppeto be all sunshine and roses now? Wife, kid, a cozy home-what more could you want?" It was no secret that Jamie had also been thriving in her career lately, gaining even more recognition through her own hard work.
Ben let out another long sigh. "Tell me, how do you get your wife to stay by your side? Nash, how did you convince Nina to have a second kid?" Nash couldn't help but laugh at Ben's troubled expression. "What's this? You're ready for baby number two already? And Jamie won't agree?" Ben took a sip of his drink and sighed again It's not that she
refuses outright. It's just... you know, she's so focused on her career right now. She says it's too t's too early for m e apother baby. I just want to keep her close, but she's always so busy. You two have been married-you know how I feel, don't you?"
Quincy shook his head with a chuckle. "Ben you accepted her flaws, didn't you? So why can't you accept her strengths? Marriage is about balance. Life isn't just about the two of you. There are other things to do, other priorities to handle. "You can't expect her to spend 24 hours a day watching over you. You're being a little too clingy, don't you think?"
If Ben and Jamie were just dating, newly married, or childless, it would be easier to understand. But they had known each other for years, and their child was already growing up. What was Ben doing acting like this? Nash chimed in, "Quincy's got a point. If you're feeling this insecure, maybe you should talk to Caleb. Oh wait, Caleb's not in Birkham right now. Wantto recommend a good doctor instead?"
