I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 323

Chapter 323 Lily Came

Benjamin didn't dodge at all and kept looking straight into Harper's eyes.

He said in a low voice, "If the competition has affected your mood, your thoughts, and our relationship, I feel there is really no need for you to take part in it."

"Are you threatening me?" Harper asked indifferently.

Benjamin said, "This is not a threat but a reminder. You are pregnant now. Getting angry is not good for you and the baby. I will give you some time to think about it, okay?"

"Is it bad for the baby, or is it bad for both me and the baby?"

Harper showed a smile, which was almost invisible.

Benjamin said with displeasure, "Do you think I asked you to quit the competition because of the baby?"

"Didn't you?"

"Harper, even without the baby, I wouldn't allow you to participate in this competition if you were like this."

"Benjamin, it's true that this competition is organized by the Martin Group, but the candidates all rely on their own abilities. You asked me to withdraw from the competition before I even started. Are you really doing this for my own good, or are you afraid that my participation in the competition will be bad for the baby, so you just make up a noble excuse?"

Despite Harper's awareness that Benjamin had become nearly submissive to her since learning of her pregnancy, she couldn't shake the profound heartache when this reminder was starkly reiterated.

​The unaccountable grief in her heart overwhelmed her.​

As they argued, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

Benjamin was very persistent, but Harper didn't back down.

His meaning was straightforward, and her attitude was clear.

​Eventually, the argument stopped because Benjamin's cell phone rang. He walked to the window to answer the call with a stern look, but Harper didn't listen carefully. He had come over at this hour, apparently to pick her up from work, so instead of continuing her work, she turned off the computer and organized her files.​
