I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 272

Chapter 272 A Request

Frank was silent.

He knew very well what Harper meant, and he couldn't directly promise that there wouldn't be a next time. After all, Michelle's situation was quite special.

The atmosphere became quiet for a short time.

Half a minute later, Frank said hoarsely, "Harper, I understand your request, but you and I know best that Michelle is my sister and also the daughter of the Parker family, so I... Please, consider this a personal favor to me, just this once, okay?"

Harper frowned and became helpless.

She was well aware of Frank's words.

However, she wasn't a saint, and she couldn't muster pity for those who had hurt her. Yet, considering all the help Frank had given her over the years, she found herself torn.

Frank said no more and just asked Harper to think about it carefully. He was probably at the police station, and Michelle's cries could be vaguely heard.

After ending the call, Harper sighed quietly, put down her phone, and looked at Benjamin.

Benjamin also finished talking to Curtis on the phone. Their eyes locked, he asked gently, "Do you have something to tell me?"

Harper asked, "Haven't you already guessed it?"

He snorted, "For Frank's sake, do you not even care about your own safety and that of our baby?"

"I didn't think so."

"Aren't you going to plead for Frank and Michelle?"

Benjamin glanced at Harper indifferently with deep eyes.

She paused for a moment and then said, "I didn't want to plead for her. I'm not that kind." She gritted her teeth as if weighing every word. "But Michelle had no idea of my pregnancy, so I can't blame her entirely. I was also at fault for not being careful enough."

Benjamin remained silent and had no intention of speaking, but his gaze on Harper was too cold.

Benjamin narrowed his eyes with an unpredictable expression and said, "I can say yes, but if she dares to do it again, regardless of her identity, there won't be another chance."

"Okay."

Harper nodded obediently.

Benjamin added, "You have to consent to one request of mine."

"What is it?"

"I can let Michelle go, but you have to keep your distance from Frank." Dressed in a black shirt and neatly tailored suit pants, Benjamin was elegant and handsome. She smiled, "After the incident today, can't you still find that he is a scheming guy?"

Harper lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Benjamin reached out his hand and lifted her chin, forcing her to fix her eyes on him. He said, "Harper, I'm serious about it. I'm telling you. Frank is not as simple as you see on the surface. He harbors evil thoughts."
