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.

After all, Annie had been found and was safe, so why should Harper get angry?
