I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 383 Burden

Benjamin looked at Harper with a solemn expression, his eyes seemingly telling her that he must go.

Harper's lips tightened into a small smile. "Then you should go," she said.

Benjamin hummed softly, then rose swiftly. He walked to the coat rack, grabbed his jacket, and headed straight out the door. The sound of the office door closing was neither loud nor soft, but it felt as though Harper's heart was being shut as well. Benjamin had said he didn't love Lauren, yet he rushed to her at a single word from her.

It was love.

Harper smiled wryly, sitting quietly in the office for a long while before she finally stood and left.

Seeing her emerge, Curtis quickly approached and asked, "Mrs. Martin, shall I drive you home?"

Curtis had been instructed explicitly by Benjamin before he left.

Harper shook her head and denied, "No need, my driver is waiting downstairs."

Curtis could only nod, then escorted her to the elevator and pressed the button for her, only returning to his post after she stepped in.
