I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 244 Why Should I Care?

"Benjamin, am I wrong? You said it yourself. I kept pressuring you to find Annie because she is my friend. Now, I think I was too selfish, and there was nothing wrong with what you said."

"Harper, listen to yourself. You think I can't notice? Don't you find it hypocritical? You're clearly holding me responsible in your heart, yet you deny it. Ask yourself, do you truly believe that?" "What I said is true, whether you believe it or not."

Harper pursed her lips, feeling a mix of emotions but unsure if anger was among them.

There was nothing to be angry about.
