I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 67 Who Is Behind This?

Harper tried to keep her distance and quickly said, "Could you please let go of me?"

"What if I don't?"

Instead of releasing her, he lowered his head and slowly approached her from behind, wrapping his arms around her and resting his chin on her shoulder, their position intimate and ambiguous. Feeling uncomfortable, Harper attempted to break free, but Benjamin asked, "Are you shy, Harper?"

"I'm not... Could you please back off a bit? It's hard for me to talk like this."

"Am I bothering you by standing too close?"

His warm breath brushed against her ear, leaving her feeling a bit unsettled.

What happened to him?

He seemed a bit clingy.

Seeing her silence, Benjamin continued, "Harper, you've been cold to me lately and haven't called me once. Are you trying to force me into agreeing to a divorce?

You're so ruthless, Harper."

His tone was faintly accusing, his deep eyes meeting hers through the mirror, each word laced with grievances.

Slightly pressing her rosy lips, Harper stared at Benjamin's apple bobbing in his throat, her eyes narrowing momentarily. Then Benjamin turned around, pressing his forehead against her, and hoarsely whispered, "Do you really want a divorce?"

"You were the one who brought it up first."

How could he act so aggrieved?

Wasn't she the one feeling wronged?

"Yeah, I brought it up first, but you should think about it. I only mentioned it once. How many times did you bring it up afterward? You even went behind my back to talk to Grandpa. What did you say to make him change his mind, huh?"

He was a little angry, but his tone remained gentle as he held her waist, tightening his grip as if to punish her.

Harper tried to push him away to maintain some distance, but his chest felt like an immovable wall.

He continued, "Answer me, hmm? Are you really in such a hurry to draw a clear boundary between us? Are you so heartless as to leave me like this?"
