I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 393

Chapter 393 My Only Daughter

Harper was still feeling unwell and disoriented, barely grasping the meaning of his words.

Yet, feeling the warmth of his body and his unique scent, she slowly realized what he was trying to convey.

Harper didn't speak, simply letting him hold her.

The doctor's examination results were out. Everything was good with the baby, and their previous worries could now be put to rest.

While Benjamin stepped away to take a phone call, the doctor, with a smile, told Harper, "Mr. Martin really cares about you. It's clear he will be a wonderful father and a loving husband."

The doctor was Julie's mentor, hence the absence of formalities.

His words made Harper blush slightly, embarrassed.

She could clearly feel his concern, but it all seemed too surreal.

Harper left the doctor's office just as Benjamin, having finished his call, returned to the doorway. Seeing her, he asked, "What did the doctor say?"

"Everything's good."

"That's good," Benjamin replied softly.

He casually took the examination form from her hand, placed his phone in his pocket, and naturally took her hand.

Feeling the warm temperature of his palm, a wave of warmth seemed to flow through Harper's heart as well.

They walked to the car parked in the garage, and it was only then that Benjamin spoke softly. "Mom knows we came for a prenatal checkup and wants to meet up for a shopping trip. Do you want to go?"

"Is Lily already here?"

"Not yet. She's on her way. So, do you want to go?"

Harper nodded, she looked at Benjamin, and said, "Of course, we should go. It would be rude to turn down Lily's kindness, and besides, we haven't gone shopping together in a long time."

Harper also showed a soft smile, finding genuine joy and comfort in Lily's company.

The conversation between the women flowed easily, starting with the results of the check-up and then moving on to discussions about the baby's arrival. They chatted endlessly, completely ignoring Benjamin.

Following the address Lily provided, the car stopped in a mall's parking garage half an hour later.

Lily took Harper's hand, explaining, "I had some clothes custom-made for you and the baby. They called me last night to say everything was ready, so I wanted to bring you here today to see if you like them."

"Lily, it would help if you hadn't gone through the trouble. The baby is still tiny, so that we could buy clothes closer to birth or even after."

"How could I wait? We can delay buying for the baby, but not for you. You are Benjamin's wife, and I want you to be the most beautiful pregnant woman."

Inside the boutique, the manager quickly brought out the custom-made clothes. Lily urged Harper to try them on. The clothes were loose yet flattering in the right places. From the back, one couldn't even tell Harper was pregnant.

With Harper's natural beauty and radiant complexion, it was even more accessible to overlook her pregnancy.
