I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin)

Chapter 516 Rejection

Therefore, she needed to think of other ways, but before that, she had to go to the hospital to accompany her grandmother, so that she wouldn't worry when she saw the online news.

Annie drove directly to the hospital and was relieved when her grandmother saw her. She ate dinner with her grandmother and chatted for a while. It was a long time before she came out of the hospital.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, Lauren, who had been on suspension and hadn't been seen for several days, returned in a black limousine to the apartment building where she lived. She had been suspended by Benjamin and she was currently relying on other means to maintain her popularity in the field, so she had come to Patrick on her own accord.

She had just returned downstairs from her apartment after accompanying Patrick to a dance.

In the car, Patrick held her hand and touched it gently. He narrowed his eyes and smiled lightly, "Lauren, why don't you stay here tonight and come over to my place?"

Lauren froze slightly, but it quickly disappeared. She looked at Patrick beside her and whispered, "I'm on my period. We'll do it next time, okay?"

Patrick, however, didn't give up. He raised his hand and touched her lips. "Let's play something else, alright?"

Lauren was stunned, and tears of aggravation immediately flowed from her eyes. She said, "Patrick, didn't you say you wouldn't push me?"
