I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 510

Chapter 510 Surveillance Footage

Emery nodded. Benjamin waved to let him leave.

Benjamin had no intention of directly exposing Emery. His aim was simply to rattle Emery, to make him feel psychologically unnerved enough to seek Frank.

However, Emery did not contact Frank immediately. Instead, Emery remained silent. Curtis couldn't help but question, "Could it be someone other than Emery?"

But Benjamin said, "Just keep watching him."

Having accomplished his purpose here, Benjamin soon had Curtis escort him back to the hotel.

To the outside world, Benjamin should be ensconced in business meetings in Teninus, so he needed to maintain that illusion.

By the time they returned, it was nearly lunchtime. Benjamin instructed Curtis to retrieve the surveillance footage.

While Curtis was dispatched to fetch lunch, Benjamin settled into the plush sofa to fix his eyes on the computer screen.

Harper appeared on the screen. She sat alone at the dining table. Three dishes and a soup lay before her. She propped her cheek with one hand while listlessly stirring her soup with the other. She chewed slowly.

She sat facing the window, where sunlight danced on the garden flowers.

But the room was steeped in a silence so profound that even the soft buzzing of the surveillance could not pierce it. Benjamin gradually became gloomy.

Time seemed to stretch and compress as he observed every nuance of her movements. Finally, Harper set down her fork and turned toward the kitchen. "Angie, I can't eat this. Please take it away."

Angie came out of the kitchen and looked at the food on the table. "Mrs. Martin, you've barely touched your meal. Is the food not to your liking?"

"No, it's not the food. I suppose I just don't need as much energy or nutrition these days. Could you just make me some soup instead?"

"But you're pregnant now. This is the time when you need the most nourishment!"

Angie was a little worried.

On the contrary, Harper smiled, "It's okay. I'm taking supplements, and the baby is getting all the nutrients it needs."

Harper stood up as she spoke and walked towards the living room.

Benjamin clicked to switch the surveillance from the dining area to the living room.
