I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98 Announcement

Harper thought he was referring to those rumors, so she nodded. "Yeah, I saw it."

"You have nothing to tell me?"

His face was a little stiff. The Martin Group posted two statements. Why didn't she have any reaction?

Harper met his gaze. "I have never done this, whether you believe it or not, I have never done it..."

"You think I'm asking you about those rumors?" The man's deep voice interrupted her.

"Or what?"

Benjamin laughed. "So you haven't read the announcement?"

Harper frowned, not sure what he meant.

Benjamin picked up his cell phone, opened Twitter, and handed it to her. When she saw the Martin Group reveal their marriage, she froze.

She was stunned for a while without any other reaction.

Benjamin took back his phone and continued, "Is there anything you want to say now?"

"Did you announce our marriage?"

"Yes?"

"Don't you think this will harm Lauren? Besides, we are about to get divorced, aren't we?"

"Harper, it seems that you could really tolerate it. At this time, you still worry for others. You should feel lucky it's been resolved now and you're safe. Could you please worry yourself, just for once?"

Harper's disappointed response made Benjamin's handsome face more gloomy.

Harper just frowned and glanced at him. Of course, she didn't care about Lauren that much. She just felt that since they were going to divorce after all, the revelation of their marriage was just unnecessary.

As for how this matter would be resolved in the end, it simply would fade away with time.

But what Benjamin did made Harper feel an indescribable emotion. His actions defended the attack on her and blocked the mouths of those who spread rumors. She was surprised.

Benjamin no longer waited for Harper's response. His cell phone rang. The Martin Group stock surged because he disclosed his marital status. He needed to go to the company to hold an emergency meeting.

Benjamin glanced at her before leaving and said indifferently, "Harper, I hope that when I get back at night, you can understand what I do. And do not mention that word again, please."

That word?

Divorce?

She looked at him and watched him turn and leave.

Although Harper was usually rational and smart, she got confused about her relationship with Benjamin.

She stared, and a thought came to her mind.

"Was Benjamin doing this because he doesn't want to get divorced?"

No.

She shook her head quickly. "It's not possible."

Not only Harper couldn't believe this idea, but Lauren would not believe this either.

Especially when those netizens who forwarded screenshots of her posts asked her for explanations, Lauren was panicky and chaotic.

Why would he do this?

Everyone in the Martin family was happy as Benjamin announced his marriage to Harper. Paul called Benjamin, "Bring Harper here for dinner tonight. Your mother will cook."

Paul's joy made Benjamin smile, "It's rare that you have such a good mood and invite me for dinner."

Paul's voice was gentle and kind.

He snorted and ignored Benjamin's joking and then said calmly, "You should do it in the first place. If you had announced it to the public earlier, how could I not treat you well?"

"Grandpa, am I really one of the Martins?"

"If you don't treat Harper well, then I don't think you are one of the Martins." Paul laughed, and then he changed the subject. "Come back early, I am happy tonight, I have something big to announce."

"What's it about?"

Benjamin asked.

But Paul kept it secret. "I can't tell you now. I will make an announcement when everyone is here in the evening."

"Grandpa, it seems something really important, huh?"

"Of course, it's a good thing."

"Since it's a good thing, can you tell me now?"

Benjamin smiled lightly.

But Paul said, "Calm down, you'll know. It's your reward."

"My reward?"

Benjamin asked.
