I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 459

Harper wasn't willing to wait for Benjamin, so she hung up the call directly.

Annie naturally noticed her embarrassment and clicked her tongue. "This is bound to happen to you."

Harper remained silent, preferring to keep quiet as if nothing had happened.

Benjamin didn't call back immediately afterward, so Harper was sure he was genuinely upset. But it was better that he didn't call back; it saved her from the awkwardness of not knowing what to say.

Annie stayed with her for a while, and Harper started feeling a bit tired, so she lay down on the couch and fell asleep.

Annie left for the company.

Harper slept until evening, and during this time, there were no calls or messages from Benjamin. After hesitating for a moment, she dialed again.

This time, she spoke only after hearing the other person's voice.

Benjamin asked, "Are you at home?"

"Yes, when are you coming back? I called you, why didn't you return my call?" she asked softly.

He replied lightly, "I thought you were busy, so I didn't call back."

Harper was a bit puzzled.

What did he mean by her being busy?

She asked, "Are you angry?"

"Do you think I should be angry?" he asked in a low voice.

Clearly, he was upset.

Harper's tone was gentle as she admitted, "I didn't mean not to tell you. It's just that after the examination at the hospital, Dr. Gene said the situation wasn't too serious, so I let Annie bring me back home. With so much going on at the Martin Group recently, I..."

"Hmm, you're considerate of me. I should thank you, right?"

It sounded like he was teasing her.

Harper furrowed her brows slightly, "So, you're angry and not coming back?"

"Do you really want me to not come back?"

He maintained his uncooperative attitude, making Harper feel somewhat helpless.

She said, "My back still hurts. If you keep being sarcastic with me, I'll be angry. If you don't want to come back, forget it. Anyway, I'll tell Paul about it."

She was threatening him; Paul had said that if he treated her poorly, there was a possibility of him being replaced.

Benjamin was speechless this time. Clearly, he was the one who was angry, but how did it become his fault?

Well...

One really shouldn't provoke the villains and women.

Benjamin shook his head helplessly. His tone was much gentler than before as he asked, "Threatening me now?"

Harper remained silent.

He chuckled softly, "I'm already downstairs. I've bought the fruits and snacks you wanted. After the meeting this afternoon, I had coffee with Larry and only just got back now."

That was an explanation.

One he took the initiative to tell her.

Harper's response was flat, "Oh."

"Just 'oh'?"

"Why did you have coffee with Larry?"

She was curious about this.
