I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 84 Personally Pick Her Up

After ending the call, Harper remained silent for a long time. She finally calmed down until Benjamin retreated to the bedroom. Meanwhile, at the hospital, Frank emerged with medication in hand. Deadpan, he was enveloped in a cold demeanor.

As he got into the car, his assistant inquired, "Mr. Parker, shall I take you home now?"

"Mm."

Frank then closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat, no longer uttering a word.

The journey back to his apartment was filled with silence. Frank tossed the medication aside upon arrival, showing no interest in taking it, and headed straight to the shower.

Harper's words about clarifying their relationship echoed in his ears. It was impossible for him to feel nothing.

Frank had long been aware of Harper's rationality and clear understanding of what she desired and didn't desire, which had stirred his heart.

Even if she made her intentions clear, his feelings were unlikely to change.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have waited for her for so many years.

Frank chuckled self-deprecatingly, murmuring, "Harper, you truly are ruthless to me."

After finishing his shower, Frank stepped out of the bathroom to find a woman sitting on the couch, engrossed in her phone.

His expression darkened slightly as he asked, "Why did you suddenly come over? Didn't I tell you not to contact me during this time? Do you realize he's starting to suspect something?"

The beautiful woman replied softly, "I know. Before coming over, I took several detours to ensure no one would notice. You can rest assured."

Frank's expression softened slightly, but he cautioned. "Even if no one notices, you must remain vigilant. There can be no room for error. If we're discovered, all our preparations will be in vain, understand?" "Yes, I understand. I'll be more careful next time. How did you get that injury on your face?"
