I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162 Pitiful Soul

Their supposed care always ended up shouldering her with all the blame.

They pushed her to apologize to Benjamin out of concern.

It was all just because they cared too much.

No matter what she said or did, they ultimately dumped all the responsibility on her under the pretext of caring, so the blame always circled back to her.

Harper couldn't help but want to laugh.

But she'd grown accustomed to this kind of situation long ago. With a wry smile in her heart, she casually asked, "Since this has nothing to do with me, can I leave now?"

They turned to Benjamin for a response, but he remained silent, his gaze fixed on Harper. Not knowing what else to do, they fell silent, too.

Harper pursed her lips lightly and turned to leave.

Benjamin narrowed his eyes slightly and stood up. Jack tried to stop him, intending to discuss company matters, but Benjamin didn't give him the chance. He simply bypassed Jack and walked outside.

When Benjamin emerged, Harper was already opening the car door to leave. He reached out and stopped her from getting in, his warm gaze fixed on her. "Leaving without even saying a word to me?"

Harper turned to meet his gaze, their proximity making the air crackle. She met his gaze evenly and said, "Thanks for standing up for me, and sorry you had to witness all this drama."

Benjamin reached out and lifted her chin, his voice low. "Is that all you have to say?"

Harper stared at him, puzzled and silent.
