I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 36 Cling to Benjamin

He didn't even look at Lauren, saying indifferently, "No."

"But you're clearly not very happy," Lauren murmured.

Benjamin's gaze locked onto her with a hint of coldness, making no one dare to get too close.

Lauren felt a slight fear, her eyes showing obvious retreat as she looked at him.

However, Benjamin simply added calmly, "I have a business trip to Dattlech this afternoon and will be back in two days. If you need anything, contact Amanda. She will handle it for you. Also, while I'm away, try to keep your distance from Harper, okay?"

Amanda Clark was Benjamin's female assistant.

Lauren hesitated for a moment.

But she quickly nodded. "Okay, I understand."

Yet, she couldn't shake the feeling that Benjamin's last sentence held a deeper meaning. She thought, "Did Harper told him something last night?"

Lauren speculated silently but didn't dare to ask Benjamin.

Benjamin didn't inform Harper about his business trip. She found out from Lauren after returning to Pineview Villa that evening.

Her reaction confirmed Lauren's assumption that Harper was unaware. So, Lauren immediately dismissed Benjamin's instructions from her mind. She said, "Harper, Benjamin treats me like a wife now, so he will tell me directly about his schedule, not you. If I were you, I would file for divorce right away."

Harper just gave Lauren a cold look, showing no intention of engaging in conversation.

But Lauren seized the opportunity to ask, "Harper, when do you and Benjamin plan to divorce? His grandfather is awake now, right? Do you intend to cling to Benjamin?"

"If you want to know, ask Benjamin directly. As for when we divorce, that's between him and me. Ms. Davis, what's your concern?" Harper replied, devoid of emotion.

After all, Benjamin had said their matters shouldn't involve Lauren.
