I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)
Chapter 29
Chapter 29 Not Entirely Beyond Hope
Harper shook her head, "Lily, let's go eat. He's busy."
A flicker of indifference crossed her eyes.
He wouldn't have lunch with her. He only wanted to be with his beloved, Lauren.
She was nothing for Benjamin.
Harper laughed scornfully at herself, feeling utterly insignificant.
A man's disinterest can be so absolute.
She didn't even need to persist.
Lily booked the restaurant where they were dining.
It was an upscale establishment, a long-standing venue in Mayby, not far from the hospital.
They took a private booth and ordered three dishes and a soup.
It was the first time Lily and Harper had dined alone together, but there was no awkwardness at all, thanks to Lily's gentle nature and knack for conversation.
She asked Harper, "Is everything going smoothly at work? If you need anything, just reach out to Benjamin. If you're hesitant to talk to him, you can always come to me or Scott. We're here to support you."
Harper smiled in gratitude. "Thanks, Lily. Things are okay for now. Benjamin helped me out with a problem a few days ago."
"Really?" Lily was somewhat surprised. Harper nodded and confirmed, prompting Lily to comment, "It seems he's not beyond help after all."
Harper was briefly taken aback, while Lily simply smiled.
The food was served at that moment.
The two chatted over their meal, creating a particularly harmonious atmosphere.
The meal stretched over an hour as they playfully argued over who would pay the bill, but Harper ultimately prevailed.
