I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 79 The One Not Loved

Julie's question made Harper's expression gradually turn somber.

Actually, besides the last time she looked in the mirror, Benjamin had touched her belly before, thinking she had just gained some weight. He couldn't help but remark, "It feels comforting to touch the softness." Therefore, his hand never left her belly throughout the night, even though their relationship had cooled down over the past few days. Upon waking, he would find his hand resting on her waist.

If Benjamin had paid just a little more attention, he would have noticed some changes in her, but his heart was never indeed with her, so he remained oblivious.

Harper responded indifferently, "Maybe we would have parted ways before it became impossible to hide? So why bother causing unnecessary trouble?"

"The one not loved, what they do probably annoys people anyway," Harper thought lightly.

At the same time, in another building owned by Mayby, Lauren was also dragged to the company early in the morning by Rue. She had been having quite a bit of trouble these past few days. The industry was a place of significant influence and scrutiny, and others could look down upon any slip-up, so it was essential to plan.

Rue relayed an invitation from a sponsor to Lauren. "Let's go have dinner tonight. Securing this sponsor will help you recover from the injustices you're currently facing with your new song's release."

"I don't want to, Tony is so gross and unappealing, I'd lose my appetite eating with him, Lauren replied without a second thought."

She knew that her recent embarrassment at the birthday party had made her the butt of jokes, but she still didn't want to compromise herself.

But Rue insisted, "Lauren, we really need this sponsorship. With it, we won't be the laughing stock anymore. It's just a dinner, and I'll be with you the whole time, okay?"

Lauren was still reluctant and even a bit annoyed, "I'm supposed to be the girl next door. What if I'm seen eating with someone disgusting like that?"

Rue's expression darkened. Lauren was her golden goose, her cash cow, so she had to endure.

The atmosphere grew tense.
