I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 31 Lauren Moves In

Harper looked up at him. "How could that be?"

"What are you trying to say now?"

"I didn't do anything."

"We usually eat together, but today I didn't hear from you at all. Did you fulfill your duties as a wife?"

Benjamin's words were sharp, filled with profound dissatisfaction.

Harper responded with a resigned smile, "Benjamin, you can neglect your own health for Ms. Davis, how am I supposed to know if you'll come home for dinner? Besides, if I call you, I can't be sure Ms. Davis won't answer. Why should I bother calling if it might be her?"

Harper was still upset about last night's incident because he had disregarded his health, something Harper couldn't let go of.

But Benjamin didn't see it that way.

Benjamin said, "Are you mad at me because of what happened at the restaurant?"

"Are you talking about how you chose to dine with Ms. Davis instead of Lily and me or how she hugged you right in front of us?"

Benjamin shouldn't have brought it up, but he did, deliberately.

It was like rubbing salt into Harper's wounds, and it hurt her deeply.

Benjamin narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "It was just a misunderstanding. Did you expect me to let her fall without helping her?"

"I didn't say that."

"But isn't that what you mean?"

"Benjamin, if you think so poorly of me, why bother explaining it was just a misunderstanding?"
