I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 72

Chapter 72 I'm Desperate?

Benjamin put down his lunch box, wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and looked up at her. "I want Grandpa's birthday party to be lively. Also, I'd like us to formally invite the Mitchells together tonight, as a family."

He wasn't asking Harper, but he was stating his decision to her.

Paul's birthday would definitely involve inviting the Mitchell family, and it was better to go with Benjamin than alone.

At least that would save some unnecessary conflict and trouble.

Harper agreed, nodding her head. "Okay, let's do as you say."

"I'll pick you up tonight."

"No need, I can drive myself. We'll meet at the Mitchell Manor...

"Harper, we're married. Couple goes to their parents' home together."

Benjamin spoke in a deep and firm voice, making Harper feel that he was somewhat different from usual.

She pressed her lips and fell silent, silently agreeing.

Benjamin had a meeting, so Harper didn't stay long.

She took a cab back to the office to discuss interior modifications with Frank, but Frank's assistant said, "Mr. Parker hasn't returned yet."

"He is not back?"

Harper frowned and took out her phone to call Frank. The call went through, but no one answered, and it eventually disconnected.

Harper didn't think much of it, assuming he was just busy, and then returned to her own office.

She was busy until the end of the workday. When her phone rang, and she saw the name on the screen, she squinted, smiling as if seeing a surprise. She immediately answered, "Hello?"
