I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 277 Wore Down

Lauren's eyes widened suddenly as she asked incredulously, "It's because of your family's demands that you think this way, isn't it?"

Benjamin said, "Lauren, I don't want you to do anything else that wears down my guilt about you. You know that. Once the last of the guilt is gone, you and I are done. I don't deny that I did have thoughts of marrying you. And I did so after you woke up. But that thought disappeared when you gradually wore down my guilt."

He said it with such unmistakable clarity that Lauren froze in stunned silence for a moment.

Benjamin looked at Lauren without much emotion. There was too much coldness in his eyes as he said faintly, "So think carefully about what to choose for yourself."

His words were warning Lauren not to do anything to hurt Harper, especially now that Harper was pregnant. If she harmed the baby, their affection and guilt would be gone.

Lauren pressed her lips together and kept quiet for a long time. She was very emotional, so all she could do was control herself to keep from speaking.

She worried that what she said would make her relationship with Benjamin more and more strained.
