I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 216

Chapter 216 Show Me Your Sincerity

Lauren asked, "Benjamin, if it weren't for what happened a year ago, would you have wanted to completely sever ties with me a long time ago?"

Benjamin didn't speak but just gave her a cold glance.

Lauren nodded sadly. "I understand. I know your answer now."

She covered her mouth and ran out crying.

Benjamin did not stop her, nor did he have any intention of catching up.

He stood still and endured for quite a while before suppressing his emotions.

When he returned to the dining hall, Harper was already seated.

She looked up and met his gaze for a moment, then calmly said, "Let's eat. The dishes are getting cold."

Without waiting for Benjamin to speak, she lowered her eyes and picked up her utensils to start eating.

Benjamin sat across from her, and neither of them spoke, maintaining silence all the way.

After a long time, they finished the meal.

Harper asked, "Benjamin, can you help me now?"

Benjamin squinted his eyes and picked up a tissue to wipe the corners of his mouth and hands. After throwing away the napkin, he expressionlessly raised his head and looked at her. Then, he calmly asked, "What do you feel about Lauren's actions?"

Harper was slightly taken aback, and the image of Lauren kissing him appeared in her mind.

Actually, she only went over it after hearing the argument between Lauren and Benjamin. She heard Lauren crying and was very emotional. They must have disagreed with something. All her attention was on their conversation, so she wasn't sure if Lauren actually kissed him.

She thought to herself, "I did complain, but it never worked.

Every time, you make me obedient, reminding me that your affairs with Lauren have nothing to do with me. So I keep this in my mind. And now you're the one getting angry?"

Benjamin retorted, "How could you be wrong? I am the wrong one!"

After speaking, he prepared to leave.

Harper immediately caught up, blocking his way, and asked, "Benjamin, I don't understand why you are asking me this question. I don't know why my answer irritated you again. But you said that your affairs with Lauren are your private matters, so you hoped that I wouldn't interfere. And all along, I do as you wish. So what else are you unsatisfied with? Can you just tell me directly?"

She looked up at Benjamin, who was clenching his teeth tightly, his facial muscles as taut as a string about to snap.

With narrowed eyes and a hoarse voice, he said, "Since you know I'm unsatisfied, do you think I would tell you why? Harper, didn't you want me to find Annie for you? Show me your sincerity. Do you think cooking a meal for me is enough? Then my help might be too cheap, don't you think?"
