Chapter 390 Explanation

"Fine, do as you please. I can't stop you, after all. If you can rush to see her the moment she gets hurt, hold her intimately, and take her to the hospital, then what can't you do?"

Benjamin furrowed his brows, his expression still somber as he responded quietly, "I didn't go there because she was injured. I had something to ask her. She fell from the horse after I arrived, and I never intended for it to become a trending topic." Benjamin made an explanation.

Harper's eyes narrowed slightly, her tone indifferent. "Benjamin, you don't need to explain to me."

"If I don't explain, will you believe me?"

"Whether I believe it or not is no longer my concern. You know the truth better than anyone. You always insist that I keep my distance from Frank. What about you?

"You're also married. Why can't you keep your distance from Lauren? Sure, you can say you had business with her, but that's just an excuse. Wouldn't it be better to give her an official status if you really care about her not being mistreated?" "Harper, I have no reason to lie to you. Haven't you listened to anything I've said before?"

Harper remained silent.

She felt confused.

On one hand, Benjamin had sworn he felt nothing for Lauren, yet on the other, all the trending news suggested otherwise.

Harper didn't know whether to believe Benjamin's words or what she had seen trending with her own eyes.

Her silence weighed heavily on Benjamin, and he said in a profound and severe voice, "As you said, I could have easily legitimized her status, and then I wouldn't have to worry about misunderstandings or explaining myself to you. But, Harper, I didn't do that. Do you understand what that means?"
