I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 209 Go Back to Dattlech

Harper understood Eleanor's concerns. She pressed her lips and spoke softly, "Eleanor, I'm pregnant, over three months now. I'll need your help looking after the baby once it's born, so please take good care of yourself, okay?"

Learning of Harper's pregnancy, Eleanor nodded enthusiastically, grasping Harper's hands tightly, exclaiming, "Of course!"

Eleanor's willingness to cooperate stemmed from Harper's pregnancy.

Planning to let Eleanor rest for a couple of days to regain her strength, Harper intended to take her for a comprehensive medical check-up. Given Eleanor's typical elderly ailments like heart disease and high blood pressure, along with various other sub-health issues, careful attention was necessary.

The Mitchells had heard about Harper moving Eleanor to Mayby and tried to reach out, but Harper consistently avoided their calls.

After settling Eleanor, Harper returned to her apartment across the street. As soon as she entered, she saw Annie sitting on the sofa, hugging her knees and lost in thought. "What's wrong?" Harper asked. Harper had been preoccupied with Eleanor's matters and only then realized how unusually quiet Annie had been.

Annie's face stiffened as she said, "I need to go back to Dattlech."

"So soon? Is it because I haven't been able to spend time with you these past few days?"

"No, something came up, and I had to leave."

Annie shook her head, looking rather listless.
