Chapter 57 He Loved Someone Else

Paul looked at Harper kindly. "Harper, he didn't treat you, did he? I can see it clearly. If he treated you right, you wouldn't be seeking a divorce, let alone considering your pregnancy as a secret. It's evident that he's failed as a husband.

We value family relationships deeply. Neither his grandmother nor his parents nor I have ever had marital issues. I sometimes wonder if he's been influenced by the wrong people."

Paul forced a smile, his heart heavy with concern.

Harper looked uneasy. "Please don't say that. It's not entirely his fault. It's just that we're not compatible."

"You don't need to defend him. I've known him since he was a child. Harper, if he had been a good husband, you wouldn't be so hesitant to give him another chance. Tell him about the pregnancy, or not is your own decision. Whatever you choose, I will support you."

Harper fell silent, torn between conflicting emotions.

"Good girl, Benjamin should have cherished you more," Paul said.

Harper smiled and shook her head.

As she closed the door, a tall figure blocked her path.

Their eyes met, but she looked away first.

Benjamin studied her intently. "What did you discuss with Grandpa?"

"Nothing important."

"Really?"

He seemed skeptical.
