I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)
Chapter 26
Harper was stunned.
She didn't know how to answer that.
Harper could only press her lips, looking helplessly at Benjamin. It was as if he had received her silent plea for help but chose not to intervene. Instead, he said coolly, "Harper, Mom's asking you a question. You have to back me up here, otherwise I'll be misunderstood."
His deep gaze fell on her, seemingly carrying a hint of amusement.
'What did Benjamin mean by that?' Harper thought.
It was clear Benjamin was throwing Harper under the bus.
Feeling awkward, Harper replied softly, "Mom, since grandpa is fine, Benjamin and I will head out now. We've planned to go watch a movie together."
Then, pulling Benjamin along, they headed out, Lily's voice following them, "Grandpa would be so happy to hear you're going on a date, he'd wake up right away."
Harper let go of Benjamin's hand once they were in the car.
Benjamin turned to look at Harper beside him and asked softly, "What movie are we going to see?"
"I was just lying to Mom," Harper replied indifferently.
"You always say we shouldn't lie, right?"
"It was a white lie. Even if mom finds out, she won't blame me."
"A white lie?" Benjamin stared at her intently. "So, what are you trying to suggest to me?"
Harper frowned, realizing what he meant.
"I'm not suggesting anything. I didn't say anything. Could you not jump to conclusions," Harper retorted.
"Alright, I won't overthink it. Now that it's just the two of us, tell me, is there anything wrong with my health?" Benjamin asked it sanctimoniously.
"It's your body. How would I know?"
Harper quickly turned her head away, not wanting to continue the conversation.
Yet, Benjamin seemed to insist, as if he wouldn't let it go unless she answered.
