I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 35 The Person I Love

Harper was utterly speechless.

She thought to herself, "Is Lauren picking a fight with me because Benjamin isn't home?

Huh.

Wasn't she all sweet and gentle before? Why the sudden change when Benjamin's not around?

Does she really think I'll just let her get away with it?"

Harper responded, "Lauren, so it's my fault that he's coming home late? Maybe you should reflect on yourself. Perhaps he just doesn't want to see you. After all, he used to come home on time before you moved in."

Of course, this was just Harper firing back at Lauren.

In reality, Benjamin had never been able to come home on time before. But Harper never dared to meddle in his affairs.

Just the fact that he was coming back was already a relief for her.

Thinking back, Harper realized she was easily satisfied.

But even this simple satisfaction seemed to be slipping away.

After speaking her mind, Harper ignored Lauren, focusing solely on her computer screen.

It wasn't clear how much time had passed when, suddenly, Lauren began to sob. "Harper, I'm sorry. I know I've been in the wrong. I shouldn't have come here to disturb you and Benjamin. You're right to ask me to leave. I'll move out now."

As Lauren cried, Harper was left bewildered.

She thought, "What is going on with this woman?"

Before Harper could make sense of it all, a deep voice cut through the tension. "What's going on here?"

Harper finally understood.

She squinted slightly, not saying a word, just giving a glance at Benjamin before refocusing on her computer screen.
