I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 30 Are You Giving Me an Attitude?

Benjamin didn't answer the question. His expression visibly cooled.

He slightly narrowed his eyes and said flatly, "Lauren, I'll take you back to the hospital."

"Benjamin, are you upset? Is it because Harper is angry and you feel for her? Tell me the truth, I won't blame you. I understand that a lot has happened in the year you've been married, things that should and shouldn't have happened. If you tell me now that you've fallen in love with her, then I will leave. I won't cling to you."

Lauren's emotions surged as she stared at him, waiting for an answer.

His gaze was shallow, his face emotionless, stern to read any feelings, and his tone was very mild. "Lauren, what are you worried about? I've already told you I will divorce her and marry you. Or do you actually hope I fall in love with Harper and completely cut ties with you? If that's the case, I suppose I could try, hmm?"

"No! Benjamin, I don't want it like this," Lauren said in desperation, gripping Benjamin's hand tightly. She explained, "I'm just afraid... I'm afraid you'll leave me. Benjamin, can you divorce Harper quickly? I'm really scared..."

"Lauren, be confidence!"

Benjamin looked down at Lauren before him, who used to shine with self-assurance but now seemed overwhelmed with unnecessary worries, becoming more and more of a stranger to him. In the parking lot...

Harper and Lily got into the car, and Lily looked at her with an apologetic face. "Harper, I'm really sorry. I apologize on behalf of Benjamin. It's all his fault. Tonight, I'll make him come back to the Martin Manor, and I'll give him a good talking-to. If there's anything you want to share, just tell me, okay? Don't keep it all bottled up inside, alright?"

Harper simply smiled faintly and shook her head, "Lily, I'm fine, don't worry about me. Let me take you back to the hospital."

"Okay," Lily said, not entirely reassured but unsure what more to say. After all, it was clearly Benjamin's fault for his actions. She had caught him this time, and there might have been many times it happened without her knowing.

Seeing Harper's demeanor, it was clear she was well aware of the situation and could only imagine how much she had suffered. Although Benjamin was her son, Lily, as a woman, could never condone the tyranny of a mistress.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Harper said, "Lily, I won't go up. You and Scott have been dealing with grandpa's situation, but please let me know immediately if anything happens."

"Okay, don't worry, and drive safely on your way, her mother replied."
