I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 37 Agree to Their Divorce

Harper thought, "Judging from his air of travel-worn fatigue, he should have just returned, yet here he is at the hospital with Lauren right away.

How considerate."

Benjamin gazed at Paul. "Grandpa..."

"Do you even see me as your grandpa? I bet you can't wait for me to drop dead." Paul cut him off bluntly.

"Grandpa, I never thought that way. Please don't say that," Benjamin tried to explain.

Paul ignored him.

Scott quickly intervened. "Dad, your health is more important. Don't get worked up over him." Then, he gave Benjamin a cold glance. "You said you were on a business trip, so what's the deal now?"

"I just got back. Lauren wasn't feeling well, so I brought her to the doctor. I thought with you, Mom, and Harper here, I could visit Grandpa at the manor tonight."

"I don't need it. Don't bother visiting me. Maybe I'll live longer if you don't," Paul mocked.

Benjamin looked helpless, unable to defend himself against Paul's accusations, silently letting Paul vent.

Normally, Harper would have spoken up to defuse the situation, but today, she remained silent, showing no intention of speaking a word for Benjamin.

She had no idea what to say, given that she only found out about his business trip from someone else, and now his return left her even more clueless.

Paul took Harper's silence as evidence of Benjamin mistreating her.

Paul coldly remarked, "See, you've hurt Harper's feelings. In the past, she would immediately plead for you with just a word or two, but now you've chilled her heart so much that she won't even speak up for you. Benjamin, did your father and I teach you to mistreat your own wife like this?"

Lauren also joined them, smiling gently at everyone.

But no one paid her any attention.
