I Once Married You (Harper and Benjamin) novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99 Surprise

But Paul stopped responding.

He knew Benjamin was smart. She thought Benjamin probably had guessed out a part. Paul planned to discuss it with Harper. He always referred to her opinion.

Benjamin stopped asking further questions. He thought that Paul was happy and wanted to praise him.

After ending the call, he leaned on the leather office chair calmly, half-closing his eyes. Harper's confused and shocked face appeared in his mind.

She was shocked the moment she learned he announced their marriage in public.

She couldn't believe he would do it.

Benjamin couldn't help but laugh. "What am I like in her heart?"

Her reaction was not as happy as he expected. Was it because she worried that her ex-boyfriend would see her?

The more Benjamin thought about it, the colder his eyes became.

It was 7 p.m.

Benjamin arrived at the Martin Manor.

Before he entered the room, he could already hear the laughter inside. When he stepped into the entrance hall, he saw Harper's face with a heartfelt smile. Her red lips were uttering. "Grandpa, I'm happy to see you happy."

Paul smiled, "I'm happy because you and Benjamin get along well. It seems our family will become more and more harmonious."

Scott also nodded. Lily was cooking in the kitchen. She seldom cooked.

At this moment, Benjamin felt the family's warmth. There was no conspiracy or depression, only simple joy from warmth and harmony.

He wish this could continue forever.

He arched an eyebrow and imagine sweet life.

"Mr. Martin? You're here."

Just as Benjamin was lost in thought, Lily walked out from the kitchen carrying fruit plates.

Paul waved to him with a rare smile. "Come and sit."

Benjamin then walked over, and Paul poured a cup of coffee for him.

"Grandpa, since when you are so good to me?"

"Don't joke on me. You just did one thing right."

"So should I appreciate Harper?"

"Of course." Paul nodded.

Benjamin also smiled and looked at the silent woman sitting aside. The two looked at each other, and there seemed to be something chemical flowing in the air.

She seemed to see a question in his deep eyes. "Have you figured out the reason?"

Harper instinctively looked away.

Benjamin's voice slowly sounded in the next second. "Grandpa, I would like to thank you. But Harper seems to be unhappy because of me revealing our marriage to the public. Since I came tonight, she even didn't talk to me."

Harper looked at Benjamin and didn't believe he said so.

In this year of marriage, he was indeed gentle and considerate enough. But at that moment, she felt he was a total stranger.

He tilted his head and stared at her with confidence.

Harper quickly looked at Paul. "Grandpa, I..."

"You should reflect on yourself if she didn't want to talk to you. Harper is so kind and well-behaved. If she can't stand you, you must have done something annoying her."

Paul backed up Harper unconditionally.

Benjamin smiled helplessly, "Grandpa, you're biased towards her."
