Chapter 132 Heat of the Moment

Harper's eyes, sharp and piercing, briefly met his before she averted her gaze. With a nonchalant tone, she remarked, "And you think you're not?"

"So, who do you think isn't childish? Frank?"

"Why do you always drag others into this? Didn't you say it's just between us, and we shouldn't involve anyone else?"

"He came on his own accord. I didn't drag him into our affairs on my own."

"But you can't seem to talk about anything without mentioning him, can you?" Her tone remained cool.

Benjamin's constant emphasis on keeping Lauren out of it made his fixation on Frank all the more perplexing.

I don't like seeing you cozy up to him, and I won't tolerate him making advances with ulterior motives. He's not sincere, and it's best to steer clear of such people."

Harper furrowed her brow, thinking that he was being absolutely unreasonable. But before she could protest, Benjamin leaned in and pressed his lips against hers, a faint smile playing on his lips before capturing hers.
