I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39 Body Examination

Benjamin was slightly startled and froze. Before he could answer, Harper had already taken out her hand.

She said, "You really should go take a shower. I'm a little sleepy."

She sounded resistant and lay down after speaking.

Staring at her condescendingly for a few seconds, Benjamin turned and went to the bathroom.

But his mind was filled with what Harper asked just now.

He also wondered what he would do if Harper said she didn't want to divorce.

In the end, he knew he would disagree with her if she really asked not to get divorced from him; he had promised Lauren to marry her, so he had no choice.

That night, they seemed to be in peace but were pestered by their problems.

Before the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the window, Harper had woken up, but she had not moved because the hand on her waist was tightly trapping her.

They wouldn't sleep together anymore two days later, so she tried to feel Benjamin's hug as much as she could.

She stayed that for so long time until someone knocked their bedroom's door.

A servant came to remind them, "Mr. and Mrs. Martin, Sir Martin wants to have breakfast with you if you wake up."

Before Harper could say anything, Benjamin had already spoken, "Okay, we'll get down right away."

After saying that, he leaned towards Harper, thinking that she was not awake yet, so he tried to wake her up by whispering. "Harper, get up, okay?"

She subconsciously turned her head, then their noses touched, their eyes met, and time paused.

Benjamin stared at her intently. Her slightly curled eyelashes were trembling, and her fair and delicate face was completely different from other women with heavy makeup. Harper's clean and clear beauty fascinated him.

Harper also stared at him. He had messy hair after sleep, and his nightgown was also skewed, revealing a charming chest showing a different kind of sex appeal.

But she found it weird for them to keep staring at each other.

It struck her that men usually had a more robust sexual desire in the morning.

Then she immediately turned around and wanted to get up, but Benjamin stopped her and asked, "What are you hiding from?"

She whispered, "I didn't hide. Grandpa told us to get up for breakfast. Please let me go."

"Grandpa is happier if we don't go out for a long time. Do you know why?" His voice was hoarse but sounded joyful.

Raising her hand to push him away, she happened to touch his hot chest, and before she could take her hand back, Benjamin held her hand tightly and smiled to ask slowly, "Why don't you look at me, Harper?"

Her eyes widened a little, and she bit her lip. He still invaded her mind by his scent, although she tried her best not to look at him.

She said in a low voice, "I didn't."

"If not, just look at me, huh?"

"Let me go first."

"You'll run away as soon as I let you go."

"I won't run."

Harper felt a little overwhelmed being so close to him, especially since his warm breath could spray directly on her face and neck, making her feel panicked and trembling.

But Benjamin just wouldn't let her go. In desperation, Harper could only turn her head and look at him again.

She didn't care what he wanted to do as long as she could get up and leave this bed.

However, she turned around so hard that she almost kissed him, which stunned both of them.

Squinting, he asked in a low voice, "Harper, did you do that on purpose?"

"I didn't."

"You did."

"I...Well..."

But he spared no chance for her to speak what she wanted to speak by kissing her directly.

Harper's whole body was stiff. She didn't dare to move at all until he stopped and stared at her with mixed feelings. Regaining her power somehow, she pushed him away and got up from the bed.
