I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 143

Chapter 143 Lily to the Rescue

Curtis nodded. "Alright, I'll check right away."

With that, Curtis prepared to leave the office.

Benjamin said again, "What's up with Lauren?"

Curtis hesitated for a moment, then quickly explained, "She asked when you could accompany her to see her psychologist. I told her you were in a meeting and couldn't take calls, so anything urgent would have to wait until you're available."

Benjamin remained expressionless, his voice low and hoarse as he responded, "Okay."

Curtis glanced at him, then heard him ask, "Did you call my mom?"

"I did, but she said..."

"What?"

"She said you should handle your own wife by yourself." Curtis risked his career and passed on the message.

Benjamin's gaze turned cold, his eyes narrowing slightly as he remained silent for a long while.

Curtis quickly retreated, leaving Benjamin alone in the expansive meeting room.

He was haunted by Harper's resolute and non-negotiable stance, along with her cold, piercing words. He had never known her to be so ruthless and realized her usual docile demeanor was merely an act.

As he thought about this, his handsome face became gloomy, his thin lips pressed tightly together, and his features taut as a bowstring, as if he might snap in the next moment.

He sat alone in the meeting room for a long time until Curtis knocked on the door to report some work.

...

After the call with Benjamin was disconnected, Harper remained silent for a long time before finally starting to work.
