He knew very well what Harper meant, and he couldn't directly promise that there wouldn't be a next time. After all, Michelle's situation was quite special.

"But Michelle had no idea of my pregnancy, so I can't blame her entirely. I was also at fault for not being careful enough." Benjamin remained silent and had no intention of speaking, but
