CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Quincy had proposed to Lydia at Gemma's first month celebration, and Nash hadn't forgotten. The two of them were more than just his right and left hand, they were a perfect couple. "Honestly, it might not happen," Quincy confessed.

Nash immediately realized that Lydia's parents were the issue. Usually, it was the groom's parents who were eager for the wedding, especially considering Quincy wasn't exactly young anymore.

Nash gave Quincy a supportive pat on the shoulder. "Time reveals all. Here's what we'll do. I'm giving you some time off. Go win your girl. If her father wants you to take over the family business, go for it. I'll bring up a new team here. None of this is more important than your life."

Nash meant every word. Quincy had been with him for over a decade, not just as an assistant but as a friend, a brother, and family. If a better opportunity came along for Quincy, Nash would not only be happy for him but would even help pave the way.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to take care of everything I left unfinished. You've been with me through thick and thin, and I want the best for you," Nash continued.

Quincy's eyes filled with gratitude. "Mr. York, I promised to stay by your side. If I leave now, it would feel like "

"It wouldn't feel like anything of the sort," Nash interrupted with a smile. "If a great opportunity comes your way, I'd be thrilled for you. You've made my life easier in countless ways. People can be replaced, but personal happiness is something you can't get back once it's gone."

Nash wasn't saying the company couldn't function without Quincy. He would love for him to stay, but he couldn't be so selfish as to hold him back.

"Go on. All I want is for you two to be happy. Let's have dinner sometime, and if you need anything, I'm always here."

Nash's words touched Quincy deeply. He hadn't expected such understanding and generosity.

""Mr. York..."

"Take care of yourself. That's what matters most!" Nash gave him another encouraging pat on the shoulder.

Determined to fight for Lydia, Quincy went to her family's home with gifts in hand.

Her father didn't want to see him, so it was her mother who came out.

She explained the situation. "He's been ill recently. Otherwise, he wouldn't have called Lydia back. You're a good man, but the thing is, we're not just any family. You've always worked for someone else, and that's a bit of a status issue."

"So, you're saying I should start my own business?"

Quincy wasn't expecting such a direct answer, but he didn't want to beat around the bush either.

Her mother had asked Lydia's father this question before, and his response was clear. Even if Quincy started his own company, it would be like starting from scratch

Given Lydia's status, the family

would still have to help. Instead ret

waiting around, they thought Lydia would be better off with someone more established.

"That's not quite what I'm saying," she hedged.

But Quincy understood. He was truly in love with Lydia, and he wasn't going to let a few harsh words change that.

Pressing his lips together, he looked her mother straight in the eye. "I'm not giving up on Lydia. I want to build a life with her."
