I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 42 Unwilling to Divorce?

Frowning slightly, Benjamin fixed his eyes on Harper subconsciously and replied to Lauren's words in a low voice, "Did Harper tell you that we will go through the formalities tomorrow?"

"Yes, she informed me upon her return this morning. Is that right, Harper?"

Lauren turned to Harper with a gentle expression, not at all as aggressive as when they were alone.

However, Harper ignored her, cast a glance at her, and looked away.

Harper said nothing, so Lauren was embarrassed.

She whispered, "Benjamin, since you and Harper are going through the procedures, we'd better move out. You mentioned leaving the villa to Harper as part of the divorce settlement. If we stay here after your divorce, people might think we're taking advantage of Harper."

Benjamin was impatient, and his tone was indifferent. "Is that what you want?"

He was asking Harper.

They looked at each other. His deep eyes were icy cold, as if they could sting like frostbite.

Harper did not dodge and said, "After our divorce, I don't plan to live here. I will move out, so if a suitable place isn't found, you can continue to live here."

Benjamin owned a lot of real estate, so his statement about not having an appropriate residence for Lauren might have been merely an excuse.

Harper believed that he simply used such explanations as a way to be near his beloved constantly.

But it would soon have nothing to do with her. Thus, she wouldn't ask any more questions.

Probably, it was because of her answer that Benjamin was displeased with her all night.

He seemed very angry.

But Harper didn't know why.

After dinner, Benjamin went back to the study, and Harper entered the bedroom.

He didn't go back to the bedroom until late at night. As a result, Harper had no chance to talk to him.

While waiting, she felt sleepy and fell asleep.
