I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 397 Following

Benjamin asked with a steady voice, "Larry, are you staying for dinner?"

"No need. Her word doesn't count." Larry squinted his eyes, giving Julia a cold look. "You think you're close with them?"

Larry didn't intend to do Julia a favor.

Julia's cheeks stiffened, and she fell silent.

Larry turned to Benjamin and said, "I'm heading out first."

"Alright," Benjamin murmured.

Larry left first, with Julia quickly following him.

Harper's expression darkened slightly, worry creeping into his mind.

Benjamin initiated an explanation. "I didn't call him over."
