I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12 Divorce

"Are you saying I'm meddling too much?" Paul angrily asked and slammed his hand down on the table.

Scott quickly intervened, "Benjamin, how can you speak to your grandfather like that? Take back what you said and tell him you won't get a divorce."

Benjamin, however, remained expressionless and silent.

Meanwhile, Lily was caught in a difficult position.

Paul sneered, "I see, you really have quite the guts now, huh? You won't even listen to me anymore. If you insist on divorcing, then wait until I'm dead. As long as I'm alive, you can forget about marrying Lauren."

He was very agitated, and as soon as he finished speaking, he began to gasp for breath and cough uncontrollably.

Harper hurriedly went to Paul's side, grabbed a glass of water, and handed it over to him. "Grandpa, please don't get worked up..."

He continued, "Harper, I have let down your late grandfather. If I had known Benjamin was such an ungrateful person, I wouldn't have let you marry him."

"Grandpa, it's not like that," Harper replied solemnly. "Actually, the divorce was my idea too. We've been together for a year without really connecting emotionally. I just don't want to keep wasting our time."

Upon hearing her words, everyone instantly fell silent.

Harper looked on apologetically and smiled, "Grandpa, Scott, Lily, I'm truly sorry for letting you down. Benjamin and I are parting on good terms. We will no longer be husband and wife, but everything else remains the same. Why not let each other go if it makes both of us unhappy, am I right?"

Paul's expression then turned grave, and he looked conflicted.

"Harper, I need some time to think about this, so I can't agree to your request just yet," Paul said with a heavy and hoarse voice. "You all go ahead and eat. I'm feeling a bit tired."
