I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 327

Chapter 327 You Are Going Too Far

The eyes of the two confronted each other, neither backing down.

A few seconds later, Benjamin smiled faintly and coldly, "So, you're implying that you don't want to have a wedding because you're afraid your ex-boyfriend will be hurt and hinder your chances with us, right?"

Harper narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze faint, expressionless as she looked at him.

She replied softly, "If you insist on thinking that way, then so be it. After all, even if I were to deny it, you wouldn't believe me, would you?"

"Harper, what are you talking about? Or have you already contacted him, so now you're prepared to leave at any moment without any concern?"

Harper's heart skipped a beat.

His mistrust left her wounded all over.

But she didn't want to say anything, let alone explain.

Since she was this kind of person in his heart, any amount of talking would be futile.

Harper remained silent, her lips slightly pursed, while Benjamin's brows furrowed even more tightly. She turned to go back to her room, but before she could take a step, he grabbed her wrist.

Harper tried to pull away forcefully, but he pressed her against the wall. He glanced down at her, then, with her offering no resistance, he kissed her lips directly.

Harper felt a darkness engulfing her, the kiss cold and biting. She struggled instinctively but soon found his arms as unyielding as iron. Struggling taking much effort, she was deprived of breath and quickly softened in his embrace.

Her fingers gripped his shirt tightly as the kiss lingered, until moments before she felt suffocated, he finally let go.

Harper wasn't one to dwell on past grievances unless pushed to a corner.

Because of being misunderstood time and again, she felt unjust and weary.

Though her ex-boyfriend was just an excuse she casually threw out, he had never done anything to disrupt their lives because of it.

She glanced down at the floor, her expression calm and emotionless.

Benjamin kept his gaze on her, his expression somewhat subdued and his voice gentle. "So, these days, is it because of Lauren?"

Harper remained silent, which was as good as confirmation.

He said softly, "I haven't been in contact with Lauren. I don't know what you heard or saw, but you should at least give me a reasonable chance to know and explain, right? Otherwise, condemning me like this... Harper, don't you think you're going too far?"
