I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131 He's So Childish

Harper's expression remained stoic, her tone notably subdued as she remarked, "Some things, once they've happened, can't be undone."

"Are you thinking of leaving too?"

"Yeah, it has crossed my mind."

Harper didn't hold back, but she didn't elaborate either.

She could spill her heart to Isaac about many things, but with Frank, it wasn't so simple. His feelings for her were more than platonic, yet she couldn't reciprocate, so she kept her distance.

By noon, Frank had finished cooking.

He declined to stay for lunch, saying, "If I stick around, it will only upset Mr. Martin and affect your relationship with him. I don't want to put you in a tough spot."

Harper furrowed her brow. "It's okay. He's just sulking because of me."

Frank simply nodded. "I've got plans nearby anyway. Now's as good a time as any to leave."

Despite Harper's attempts to persuade him to stay, Frank insisted on departing without dining, so Harper didn't bother anymore.

When seeing him off, Harper advised, "Frank, don't bother bringing groceries next time. I've got cooking covered. You're already swamped with work at the company."

Frank was mildly surprised by Harper's gentle refusal.

He nodded. "Got it. Have some food while it's hot. You've been losing weight lately."

As Harper watched Frank step into the elevator, she closed the door.

After looking at the food on the table, she let out a silent sigh before heading to the kitchen to reheat the soup she'd made earlier.

After finishing up, she knocked on the bedroom door.

"Benjamin, it's lunchtime."

"You go ahead and eat with Frank. Don't worry about me. Even if I'm still running a fever and haven't had breakfast, it's no big deal. If I head to the dining room, it would just disrupt your meal with Frank and might even drive him away. Why do you even bother calling me?"
