I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205 Who Do You Think You Are?

Harper stayed with Paul for a long while and left after he had closed his eyes and fallen asleep.

Stepping out of the room, she immediately saw Benjamin sitting in the corridor. His face was taut, the contours of his cheeks drawn tight like a bowstring. His black suit jacket was gone, leaving him in a white shirt, the sleeve of his left arm rolled up, revealing a bruise from where Paul had struck him.

Benjamin noticed her, too, his eyes calm and detached as they met hers.

With a cynical smile, he said, "Harper, I thought you were capable of anything, insisting on a divorce regardless of the consequences. What are you doing now?"

"Why are you doing this? Just because I want a divorce, you have to go to such extremes?"

Harper's eyes narrowed, her gaze sharp and indifferent.

Benjamin looked at her coldly, his eyes deep and sad, his voice even colder and devoid of any warmth. He asked, "Do you think I'm trying to destroy everything?"

"Isn't that what this is?"

"Harper, do you really think I'd pay such a high price just for you?" Benjamin chuckled darkly, and his laughter tinged with profound sarcasm.

Harper stared at him, their eyes locked, his words growing colder. He added, "I just think if we're getting divorced, it should be a clean break. I don't want to see you or anything related to you afterward. What I'm doing now is just severing all ties early. Is this what you call being thorough?"

Benjamin glanced at her, his gaze both pale and cold, tinged with a hint of mockery.

That look seemed to tell Harper that she wasn't significant enough to warrant such drastic measures.
