I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128 Preparing for Pregnancy

Harper stopped asking for answers, which only served to humiliate her. She looked at Benjamin calmly and said, "I want to sleep."

He stared at her intently for a moment before releasing her chin and turning over to his original place.

With her back to him, Harper closed her eyes. In her depression, she did not feel sleepy, but suddenly, Julie and the doctor's instructions came to her. "Don't be sulky at this stage, and keep a happy mood, so the baby will be cute and smiling after birth."

So, she silently adjusted her state and emotions. After a while, she gradually fell asleep.

Listening to Harper's even breathing, Benjamin was slightly solemn and downcast. He stole a glance at her back. Indescribable feelings kept surging, as if something had passed through his heart.

It was a dreamless night.

When Harper woke up the next morning, Benjamin was still sleeping.

She didn't wake him up, got out of bed, and went to wash up.

Harper prepared some soup and bread. It was already nine o'clock in the morning when she finished, but Benjamin never got up. In the meantime, she had even secretly touched his forehead and found that his fever was gone.​

She desired to rouse him from sleep, yet apprehensive of disrupting his rest, and she also fretted over his lingering fever. Consequently, Harper refrained from going to the company in the morning.

Benjamin got up just before noon. Harper asked, "Would you like soup or spaghetti?"

They tacitly didn't mention what had happened last night.

He turned to Harper and said, "Either one will do."

"I'll heat some soup for you."

When one had a cold or fever, it would be comfortable to take light meals.

After Harper went to the kitchen, Benjamin walked to the sofa and sat down. He raised his hand and squeezed his eyebrows tightly, experiencing a slight dizziness and headache.
