I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 25 He Calls Her Mrs. Martin

"What did he mean by saying this? Is he trying to explain?" Harper thought.

But they were about to get divorced. It was pointless to do such a thing that could so easily be misunderstood.

Harper really couldn't grasp what was going through Benjamin's mind.

Loving someone for ten years wasn't something one could easily turn off. Even if Harper could bear the pain and ignore her feelings, those tender moments still stirred her heartstrings.

Harper held her breath, tears welling up in her eyes, but she wouldn't allow them to fall.

She asked calmly, "Why are you telling me this?"

Benjamin chuckled, "Why? You ask why? If I don't explain, I probably have to sleep at couch tonight, and the servants will laugh at me for having no say in this family. So, can you trust me now, Mrs. Martin?" Great, now it became her fault.

Harper replied calmly, "You chose to leave. I didn't drive you away."
