I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 76 The Pool

Benjamin's frown deepened. "Harper, can't you just let things go? Why do you always have to make such a big deal out of everything?"

"A big deal? Benjamin, why didn't you say anything when Ms. Davis was lying and making my life difficult?" Harper's voice was soft, but she firmly questioned.

Although she knew that Benjamin would always take Lauren's side, she still couldn't accept it. Her heart still felt hurt.

Harper pressed her lips together, reminding herself not to expect what she couldn't have.

The guests whispered, speculating that Benjamin protected Lauren because of their long history.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Paul stood up with the help of his cane, his eyes cold. "Benjamin, you keep defending that woman. You'll regret it someday," he warned.

With that, he took Harper's arm and stormed off to their room.

Then, Paul spoke softly to Harper, trying to calm her down. "Harper, that young punk is the one who wronged you. Grandpa knows you've been wronged." "Grandpa, I'm fine. I shouldn't have ruined your birthday."

"Nonsense! Today's the happiest I've ever been, and it's because of you," Paul chuckled and pulled an antique jewelry box from a drawer. "Harper, here. Take this," he said.

"What is this?" Harper asked curiously.

"Don't ask what it is. Just take it."

Paul insisted, and Harper couldn't refuse either.

It was just that the box had a lock, and Paul didn't give her the key, so she couldn't open it either. But she did whatever Paul asked her to do.

Harper chatted with Paul for a bit before he finally said, "Don't just hang around with me. Go have some fun with your friends."
