I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17 Fulfill a Wife's Duties

They looked at each other without saying anything. Benjamin got out of the car, walked into the villa, and went to the bedroom.

He looked sullen, and the atmosphere in the room was a little oppressive.

The door and window were closed. Benjamin smelled heavily of tobacco and alcohol. Harper felt a little uncomfortable from the smell, so she asked in a low voice, "Do you still want to take a shower?"

"What do you mean? Do you think I have already taken a shower outside?" Benjamin asked.

"Isn't it?"

Benjamin frowned and said indifferently, "Do you have some issues or complaints about me? If so, just say it. I said that I won't do anything violates the marriage before we divorce."

"Who knows? I'm not with you every day," Harper retorted.

Benjamin stared at her. "If you want, you can follow me from tomorrow on."

"No." Harper refused and asked casually, "Didn't you already take a shower in the hospital?"

"Who told you this? That's a hospital, not a hotel. Do you think I can take a shower and stay there?"

Harper stared at Benjamin doubtfully, thinking, "Didn't he? Or did Lauren lie to me?"

She said in a low voice, "I called you tonight, and Lauren answered the phone. She said you were in the shower and couldn't answer the phone."

"Really?" Benjamin asked.

Harper pressed her lips. She thought, "What did he mean? Does he think I have wronged Lauren?"

She murmured, "I don't need to lie to you."

"It's not what I meant," Benjamin explained.

Harper didn't want to continue this topic. She said, "You don't need to explain to me. It's getting late. You go take a shower. I'm going to bed."

After saying that, she passed Benjamin and walked towards the bed.

Benjamin narrowed his eyes and grabbed her wrist. With a little force, he pulled her into his arms.
